Group classes
with real coaching
Strength, conditioning and mobility classes capped at 14 people at ChoiceUpliftLane in Hamilton. Loud music, shared suffering, and a coach on the floor for the whole hour — not a voice from a screen.
01 / The offer
Small enough for coaching, big enough for energy
Fourteen people is the hard cap, not the average. That number exists because it's the most a coach can watch properly for an hour — every squat gets seen, every scaling option gets explained.
- Every class coached live — nobody follows a screen alone.
- Scalable movements: the same workout works for a beginner and a regular.
- Booked through the member app, spots held to the cap.
- First class free with any trial booking.
Start this week
Grab a free trial and jump into whichever class fits your week. The 6am and 5:30pm slots fill fastest — book a day ahead for those.
- Free trial session to test the fit
- No joining fee, no lock-in contract
- Cancel or switch with a week's notice
02 / In detail
How the class week is built
The timetable isn't a random menu. Strength classes run Mon/Wed/Fri, conditioning Tue/Thu, and mobility plus a longer hybrid session on the weekend — so a body that trains every class still recovers properly.
Coaches write the class program in 8-week waves, same as our barbell blocks. You'll see the same movement patterns return with small progressions — that's the point. Random workouts produce random results.
Our promise
Try any class in your first week. If a coach can't scale a movement to your level on the spot, that class is free — and we'll write you a modification sheet for next time.

04 / The process
How group classes works
First class nerves are normal. Here's exactly what happens between booking and the final stretch — nothing is left vague on purpose.
Book a spot
Through the member app or by calling the desk. Casual spots open 48 hours before class, members book a week out.
Arrive 10 early
First-timers get a quick floor tour and meet the coach. Tell them about injuries — the whole class gets briefed in five lines.
Warm up as a group
10 minutes of movement prep tied to the day's work, not generic stretching. Cold bodies don't lift well.
The main block
Strength piece first — a lift or a skill — then the conditioning work. The coach walks the floor the whole time correcting and scaling.
Cool down together
Five minutes of guided stretching while the coach does the rounds — questions, tweaks, booking the next session.
Log it
Weights and times go on the class board and your app. Watching your own numbers climb is half the addiction.
05 / Combine it

09 / Questions
Class questions from the desk
More questions? Call +64 7 839 5612 or send a message on the contacts page.
No — the cap exists so the coach can scale everything. First-timers get a lighter version of the same workout and build from there.
The 6am and 5:30pm classes fill about two days out. Lunchtime and weekend slots usually have space day-of.
Join the waitlist in the app — spots free up constantly, especially for evening classes. We also add overflow sessions when a slot sells out for a month straight.
Your free trial covers one class plus a coached intro. After that, casual spots are $22 — no membership required.
Tell the coach at the door and they'll scale the problem movements on the spot. For anything serious, a PT session first is the smarter entry point.
