Making true health simple for you

“Our primary mission is to help people overcome their health barriers in whatever way they need it”

WE’RE ON YOUR TEAM

Inner Strength Health & Performance

A company with strong roots in New Zealand, Inner Strength Health & Performance was established in 2014 by co-founders Hayden Brown and Zane Lawrence. Our years of experience working in corporate gyms led us to one paramount revelation: there is no universal approach to achieving health, fitness, and the ‘ideal body’. Each individual requires a unique approach to enhance their health, strength, and overall quality of life. There is no one-size-fits-all; a comprehensive strategy is paramount.

Inner Strength’s vision signifies a paradigm shift from the conventional notion that ‘health’ is merely the absence of disease or illness. We are firm believers that optimal health is not just attainable but is a fundamental cornerstone for leading a fulfilling and empowered life.

Our integrative approach aims to cater to all facets of your health. These facets encompass your Physical, Mental, Familial, and Vocational health. We uphold the belief that honouring your health will inevitably lead to improved performance in these core four areas of life. Inner Strength is all about empowering you to be the best version of yourself!

This is a really unique gym, so different from the rest! The owners really have a passion for knowledge in all areas of health and fitness, their trainers are constantly up-skilled and it shows! They even have a functional medicine doctor that works out of the gym to help with nutrition and gut health at a more advanced level, also they have amazing equipment! The best NZ has to offer👌

I’ve been to so many different gyms and Inner Strength has been the only one I’ve stuck too! All the staff are so friendly, welcoming and super helpful. It’s not packed either so I didn’t feel intimidated at all when I first joined! Definitely recommend!!

There is nothing I don't like about Inner Strength. The gym is never too busy and it is easy to find times where you will find 1-3 others there working out. The women on the reception desk are a delight - so friendly and always ready for a genuine 'pleased to see you' welcome chat. The trainers and members (kids to elderly) are also friendly, always chill and ready with a smile. It is a relaxed atmosphere which I really enjoy. There is nothing pretentious about Inner Strength. There are no blearing TV screens and I love the music! Im a George FM listener so if you like that you'll be happy here. The gym is also super clean. There is a lovely young woman who is employed to clean the equipment and members are really good at cleaning the machines after use. I'm nearly 50 and only recently started back at the gym after a 13 year break and Inner Strength has been perfect for me.

I have been a member of Inner Strength since 2015 and have thoroughly enjoyed my experience there. Staff are friendly and approachable and the gym itself caters to a wide range of members with varying goals and motivations. I like the sense of inclusivity that Inner Strength brings to all its members.

I have always felt uncomfortable in ‘normal’ gyms, but the team at Inner Strength have made the transition from group training to single training smooth and easy for me.They only have the members best intentions at heart, and everyone including other members are friendly and willing to lend a helping hand when needed.Matt has been amazing to see for PT sessions as he really helped me to focus on areas that needed work instead of just giving me a general plan. He created 2 seperate plans for me and helped me through them until I was comfortable doing them by myself. He really knows his stuff and I would highly recommend him.The range of equipment is great, the gym is not overly busy and you can workout without the fear of feeling intimidated.Thanks to the team at Inner Strength, I am now really loving and enjoying my fitness journey and will continue to support your business.

I could not rate Inner Strength high enough. It is a great gym and the staff are highly professional and are always willing to assist. The gym is hygienic, neat and tidy and has a great range of exercise equipment as well as all your supplement needs.My consultation with Hayden was very professional, he communicated very well and really understood my needs and goals. He worked with me on a more holistic approach for my weightless journey. He offered consistent support and I believe this is so importation when you are wanting to achieve the best you can.If you want to be a part of a gym that really cares about your fitness, wellbeing and short and long term goals, then Inner Strength is the place for you.

Absolutely love the gym. Run by incredible people!! So cool to have a locally owned and run gym in Richmond. All the trainers are super friendly and always eager to help. They’re all knowledgeable and want to help you hit your goals in what’s comfortable to you. Reception staff continuously provide a beautiful welcome every time.

Inner Strength Health & Performance is an awesome place to train! The team there are very supportive, knowledgeable and friendly. They have great group workout sessions that are fun but challenging too. I enjoy the whole aspect of their approach to training and nutrition. Hayden helped me out hugely with nutrition as a diabetic and what approach I should take. Nice little gym with good equipment to train with. I would recommend checking out Inner Strength and talking to Hayden or one of the team if you are keen on achieving your fitness and lifestyle goals.
