ABOUT
it all started with an idea to get some epic humans together and get moving
The story
From humble beginnings in 2016 we outgrew our temporary spaces, opening our first studio in July 2018. Our mission is to provide the most unique group fitness experience out there. For people to move their bodies more, and have a smile on their faces while doing it.
The HIIT Squad is and always will be about the people. Building better humans. It is the kind of place you want to sweat in, with a community you want to be a part of.
#BuildingBetterHumans
The studio
The HIIT Squad has been purpose designed for our unique, big-hitting classes.
Plenty of floor space to bear crawl, heaps of walls for geckoz and enough ski ergs and assault bikes to get you to Ashburton and back.
If that all sounds a bit crazy, you’ll have to come down and join the madhouse to find out what we’re on about.

Meet Matt
A builder and Crusader Knight in his past life, Matt loves nothing more than getting a room full of people sweating with a smile on their face.
After a back injury signalled the end of his rugby career, Matt became interested in how to build strength and move his body with bodyweight training.

Meet Nick
Nick aka ‘Snowy’ is an OG and has been a member for years.
Although he is rather new to working in the fitness industry, he lives and breathes all things burpees, box jumps and also barbells.
When Nick isn’t working with us he’s either counting beans for the IRD or training for Crossfit. Nick is a chartered accountant so has a wee side hustle when he’s not on the gym floor. If he isn’t doing the above you will likely find him cooking a cute wee dinner for his flatmate Toby.
