Benchmark Canterbury

A few weeks in to my time at Benchmark, one of the trainers got in touch to ask if I'd be happy to write a review.

"Of course! " I responded. "After I see some results! " I added.

And after noting my new shoulders and arms this morning, feeling the strength in my legs, and knowing how much my form has improved from the team's expert guidance, that time has come.

I'd been doing Stronglifts 5x5 on and off and by myself for about 18 months when I decided to give Benchmark a try. I was unmotivated and wary of musculoskeletal niggles that were starting to emerge.

From the first assessment of my biomechanics to the class I completed this morning, the experience has been superb. The team pays attention to the needs of each individual, creates an environment that encourages us to do our best (without hurting ourselves), and designs programmes that keep us right at the edge of our capacity and, therefore, building it.

I can't recommend this place more highly. Come and join the gang!

Moving in to Canterbury area I couldn’t find BEST TEAM as Benchmark. I’m glad to join this lovely training group it’s being four weeks and I can feel already my body much better. Clean place, great vibe and such a professional coaches makes me get motivated every day attending my sessions. 100% RECOMMENDED!

Benchmark team is always the one that sends us encouraging and motivational messages. However, I wanted to take a moment to thank you for all the effort and support you put into helping the members reach their goals. Your care and dedication to our progress is evident, and I wanted to share this feedback with you because before joining Benchmark, I struggled with gym consistency and never committed for that long period.

Love their attitude and approach. Its a great system they have set up. Certainly worth it especially if you can manage a few sessions a week. Love community experts knowledge.

The gang at Benchmark Canterbury are great! They run group training classes and ensure that each attendee gets individual attention throughout the various exercises that are set on the day. They're also great with following up with you if you have any questions, or if you happen to miss a session. Best of all, they're easily reachable by public transport, being a 4-minute walk from Canterbury Station! Highly recommend them.

This studio is fantastic. I’ve been going about a month and genuinely think this is one of the best studios in Australia.

As an ex PT, I am fairly sceptical when finding a gym, but glad I found these guys.

The programming is very very good, where intensity matches great structure.

The coaching is brilliant - positive, detailed when it needs to be, and a push where required.

The studio is great and the other members are great as well.

Great spot with great coaches.

Benchmark Fitness is without doubt the best place to train. This is functional training at it's best.

Mitch and James are awesome trainers/coaches, and always look out for everyone in the class, to ensure everyone has proper form.

I can't recommend Benchmark Fitness highly enough. It's been a game changer for me.

Highly recommended from beginners to athletes. Extremely professional, knowledgeable and very supportive. They provide step by step stretching, foam rolling, exercises and then a breathing exercise which is highly recommended to stay around for. Small classes help u feel that you are not alone on this journey and still have the attention of trainers on technique and improvements.
