The 5 Best Fitness Equipment Stores in Auckland Worth Sweating Over 

fitness-equipment-stores-in-auckland
We extensively test and research all services we review. Here's why you can trust us.

Equipment Quality: I prioritised sturdy, commercial-grade gear that won’t wobble when training gets serious.

Hands-On Testing: I favoured showrooms where you can test the fit and feel before buying a very expensive clothes rack.

Delivery Options: I checked for clear freight and installation options, because hauling weight plates across town isn’t a warm-up.

Product Range: I looked for retailers with reliable cardio and strength equipment for beginners, regulars and serious gym owners.

I used to have memberships to great local gyms, but staying home more has made a home workout space far more appealing. I realised that the best fitness equipment in Auckland can turn a spare corner into a proper training zone.

Choosing gear still takes more effort than choosing a playlist. I’ll need durable machines, sensible free weights, and prices that won’t make my budget tap out.

So I checked Auckland’s local showrooms for equipment suited to compact home gyms and larger facilities. Here are the top options to help you train without hunting for your membership card.

How much does fitness equipment cost in Auckland?

A basic home gym setup costs $2,000 to $5,000 NZD. Weight benches, power cages, and racks cost $120 to $750.

Dumbbell sets and weight accessories range from $15 to $670. Multi-gyms and dual-stack pulley systems cost $2,495 to $4,295.

Cardio equipment, including treadmills, rowers, and bikes, costs $595 to $2,095 or more. Auckland delivery and installation usually add $80 to $380.

1. GravoMax Fitness Equipment

Website

Address: 12A Ashfield Rd, Wairau Valley

Contact: +64 9 440 9900 | [email protected] 

Hours: Daily, 9 AM – 5 PM

GravoMax Fitness suits anyone building a home gym that needs more than a lonely yoga mat. The brand focuses on commercial-style racks and rigs, heavy-duty steel construction, and modular add-ons for setups that can grow over time

Its Wairau Valley showroom is useful for checking equipment in person, especially when comfort and dimensions matter. 

GravoMax also checks and re-tests incoming stock for stability, fitment, and finish, adding some reassurance about the equipment.

The catalogue covers racks, benches, weights, cable machines, cardio gear, and plenty of accessories. 

Orders over $1,000 qualify for free standard delivery within Auckland Metro, which is a nice benefit when ordering larger pieces of equipment.

One thing to keep in mind is that pre-order and backorder items typically take around 90 days, with ETAs subject to change.

Auckland installation is also available, but it’s priced by equipment and location, with standard assembly starting from $100.

Pros

  • Auckland showroom for hands-on viewing
  • Commercial-style racks and modular rigs
  • Incoming equipment is re-tested
  • Broad home and commercial range
  • Free standard Auckland Metro delivery over $1,000

Cons

  • Pre-orders may take around 90 days
  • Installation costs extra and requires a quote

Custom Racks Built for Serious Training

Great upgrade to HP Fitness gym with the new equipment from GravoMax Fitness Equipment. The custom squat rack looks incredible, is solid and well built. The wall balls and power bags are great quality and feel durable. Well-made equipment that performs well whether you are into strength training, cardio or a bit of both.

Solid Racks With Smart Safety Features

Great-looking and easy to use racks. Super solid finish with exact height adjustment. They are very safe to use with solid safety catches. A top investment for our gym for years to come. Also loved the little custom finish on each rack with the gym name!

2. Elite Fitness North Shore Superstore

Address: 12B Porana Road, Wairau Valley 

Contact: 0800 243 834 | 09 441 9277 | [email protected] 

Hours: Monday-Friday, 9 AM – 5:30 PM | Saturday, 10 AM – 4 PM | Sunday, 11 AM – 4 PM 

I’ve spent enough time in gyms to know that choosing commercial equipment can feel like planning an entire workout schedule. 

Elite Fitness North Shore Superstore makes the process easier with guidance for home gyms, corporate facilities and larger training spaces.

When I spoke with Ray and Neil, they showed confident product knowledge and helped make the options feel less overwhelming. The Wairau Valley showroom gives you room to browse treadmills, cross-trainers and strength equipment in person.

Its commercial range covers cardio machines, exercycles, rowers, benches, racks and strength systems. That’s handy when your dream gym includes more than one bike and a motivational poster.

However, service requests require an online form before Elite Fitness assesses the next step. 

Repairs may involve a callout, assessment or return arrangement, so confirm the process and pricing before booking.

Pros

  • Helpful product guidance from Ray and Neil
  • Spacious Wairau Valley showroom
  • Commercial equipment for corporate facilities
  • Wide cardio and strength selection
  • Multiple exercycle options

Cons

  • Service requests require an online form
  • Repair arrangements and pricing require confirmation

Reliable Equipment Across Multiple Categories

I have purchased all of my fitness equipment (weights, stationary bike, rowing machine) through them over the past several years and they are always knowledgeable, generous with their time, and the products work the way they said they would.

From Selection to Installation

We bought an elliptical machine from this store. From selection to delivery to installation, the store manager and staff were very kind, and the service was highly professional. We truly appreciate it and highly recommend anyone looking for fitness equipment to come to this store.

3. DB Fitness

Website

Address: 81 Mays Road, Onehunga

Contact: 09 622 0608 | 027 497 0088 | [email protected] 

Hours: Monday-Saturday, 10 AM – 5 PM | Sunday, 11 AM – 3 PM

I’ve had enough gym memberships to know that a home setup needs to earn its floor space. DB Fitness caught my eye with 20 years of research into fitness technology and long-term OEM partnerships.

Its Onehunga showroom carries foldable treadmills and compact cardio gear, which suits homes where every metre matters. The strength range covers dumbbells, racks, benches, plates and multi-station systems for more ambitious workouts.

DB Fitness also offers Auckland installation packages from $80 to $380, with selected options including free delivery. 

Commercial buyers can shop a motorised stair climber alongside treadmills and pin-loaded strength machines.

Choose carefully before ordering, though, because change-of-mind refunds generally aren’t offered. 

Delivery dates are estimates, while back-to-base warranties may leave customers covering transport or freight costs.

Pros

  • 20 years of fitness technology research
  • Long-term OEM partnerships
  • Foldable cardio equipment for compact spaces
  • Broad strength and multi-station range
  • Auckland installation packages available
  • Selected packages include free delivery
  • Commercial stair climber available

Cons

  • Change-of-mind refunds generally aren’t offered
  • Delivery dates aren’t guaranteed
  • Back-to-base warranties may involve freight costs

Customer Reviews

Quality Equipment With Smooth Installation

Really great experience with the team at DB Fitness. Their communication was on point from start to finish — clear, responsive, and easy to deal with. Installation was fast and seamless, and the team did a fantastic job getting everything set up quickly and professionally. The equipment itself is great quality and exactly what I was after. Overall, a smooth, stress-free experience. I’d highly recommend DB Fitness to anyone looking for quality equipment, reliable service and a great team!

Complete Home Gym Setup and Delivery

Fantastic company to deal with. Excellent customer service and support. Bought a half power rack with cable attachments, dumbbells, plates and other accessories; all seem good quality. Dealt with George, who gave me a great package deal and offered same-day free delivery too. I highly recommend DB Fitness.

4. Blue Fitness Limited

Website

Address: 45A Normanby Rd, Mt Eden

Contact: 09 845 0035 | [email protected] 

Hours: Monday-Friday, 9 AM – 4 PM

I’ve used commercial gym rigs firsthand, so I know good design when it doesn’t get in the way of a proper workout. Blue Fitness impressed me with its hands-on owners, who stay involved across sales, service and account support.

The company distributes respected brands including Precor and Woodway, alongside equipment from more than 20 global fitness names. 

Its pre-owned machines are inspected, refurbished to the stated level and generally come with at least a 12-month parts-and-labour warranty.

Blue Fitness supports projects from space planning and equipment selection through commercial installation. Its catalogue covers recovery favourites such as Hyperice and Normatec, so tired muscles aren’t left negotiating alone.

However, consumer equipment rentals aren’t available, so you can’t hire a machine short-term before committing. 

Larger commercial purchases may require direct contact or a quote, which makes upfront price comparisons less instant.

Pros

  • Hands-on owner involvement
  • Precor and Woodway equipment available
  • Over 20 global fitness brands
  • Inspected pre-owned equipment
  • Minimum 12-month used-equipment warranty
  • Commercial space planning and installation support
  • Hyperice and Normatec recovery gear

Cons

  • No consumer equipment rentals
  • Larger commercial purchases may require a quote

Customer Reviews

Long-Lasting Spin Bike Support

I purchased a Star Trac spinning bike from them in 2012. Over 12 years later, they’ve been very helpful in providing pedal replacements. During my most recent visit to their store, they even gave me a used pair for free to keep me going. Thank you, Brett! Truly outstanding customer service and top-quality, built-to-last products.

Straightforward Concept2 Rower Purchase

Awesome service. Purchased a Concept2 Rower (I knew what I wanted before visiting), very knowledgeable team, no pushy sales for upgrades or anything, excellent communication and loaded everything into my car for me. Highly recommend Blue Fitness Limited!

5. LEE Warehouse

Website

Address: 104 Central Park Dr, Henderson

Contact: [email protected] | 0800 688 333 | 09 8366168

Hours: Monday-Friday, 9 AM – 5 PM | Saturday-Sunday, 9 AM – 4 PM

I like a fitness warehouse that lets me build a setup without playing equipment Tetris across five suppliers. LEE Warehouse keeps plenty under one roof, from barbells and power cages to cardio, Pilates and home-gym essentials.

Much of its range comes from overseas suppliers, which helps explain the warehouse-style pricing and broad selection. Its price-match policy can trim the bill further, provided the product, retailer and conditions meet its fairly specific rules.

Do note that delivery costs vary with the item, postcode and address, so bulky or rural orders may need a separate quote. 

Free pickup and same-day Click & Collect are useful for urgent upgrades, but I recommend confirming stock first rather than expecting a miracle.

Pros

  • Broad range of strength, cardio and Pilates equipment
  • Warehouse-style pricing from overseas sourcing
  • Price-match policy for qualifying products
  • Free pickup and same-day Click & Collect

Cons

  • Delivery fees vary by item and location
  • Rural orders may require separate freight quotes
  • Price matching has several conditions and exclusions
  • Stock must be confirmed before collection

Customer Reviews

Plates and Bar That Hold Up Over Time

I purchased a mid-range set of plates and a 1000 lb bar the other week, and have used them frequently. Extremely competitive rate; it’s early days, so I can’t accurately assess quality (update: 8 months in, used on rubber pads, they’re great, so great I bought 4 more 20’s). Reception through to warehouse staff were helpful and friendly.

Turning a Backyard Into a Full Home Gym

Absolute pleasure to work with Summer and Jerry as they were able to help with setting up a full at-home gym. I’ve got a full gym in my backyard thanks to the help of Summer and Jerry when I went in with a vision, and they brought it all to life for me! Blessed to have the help and awesome customer service!
