I have been working out for about 2 months at the training ground with Andrew and it has been the best gym I've been to. Movements, mobility, strength. It's very complete. I'm not in Auckland anymore but I would have train there forever. All the best and long life to the training ground! 💪
mickael r.04 Mar 2020 - Andrew is an absolute legend, his knowledge and passion to teach kids (and wanna be kids) how to safely jump, rolls flip and fly is contagious! Started just with my son attending parkour classes to now attending the family sessions on sunday. So much fun and bonus is...you get fit as well!! Amber F.13 Feb 2020

Great place to learn many different kinds of movement - from calisthenics to gymnastics and tumbling to parkour. Andrew's knowledge is varied and he's great at breaking complicated skills down into small easily digestible chunks. The equipment is also top notch!
