Anytime Fitness Halswell is open

Another set of doors has opened at The Acres.

Following Bocky Boo’s lead, Anytime Fitness Halswell is now open, bringing a brand-new 24/7 gym to the heart of the Halswell community.

Anytime Fitness Halswell is designed to make staying active a little easier – whether you’re an experienced gym-goer, just getting started, or simply looking for somewhere to fit a workout into a busy week.

A gym that fits around you

The clue is in the name. Anytime Fitness members have 24/7 access to the Halswell club, so there’s no need to squeeze your workout into someone else’s schedule. Early morning session? Lunchtime workout? Late-night weights? It’s ready when you are.

Membership also gives members access to Anytime Fitness clubs around New Zealand and worldwide, making it a handy option for anyone whose work or weekends take them beyond Halswell.

Built for Halswell

For owners Fran and Chris, Anytime Fitness Halswell has been a long time coming.

The couple has owned Anytime Fitness Ferrymead and Burnside for several years, but they’ve actually held the Halswell territory for seven years while waiting for the right location to come along.

Now, they’ve found it at The Acres.

For Fran and Chris, the new club is about more than opening another gym. They wanted to be part of a community from the beginning – creating a place focused on health, connection and real-life support.

“We didn’t want to be just another gym in another mall,” says Fran. “We wanted to help shape a community from the start.”

That people-first approach is something they’ve brought to their other businesses, too. Alongside their Anytime Fitness clubs, Fran and Chris co-own Christchurch-based plant-based meal delivery business Green Dinner Table. Together, they’ve built their businesses around family, flexibility and creating places where people feel welcome.

Their own story began at the gym, too. Fran and Chris first met at an Anytime Fitness club, and today they’re raising four children while continuing to grow their businesses.

So perhaps it’s no surprise that their new Halswell club has been designed with real life in mind – from busy parents and professionals to anyone simply wanting to make their health and wellbeing a priority.

“We’ve waited years for this to feel right,” says Chris. “Now it does.”

Your new local gym

Whether you’re chasing a new personal best, getting back into a routine, building strength or just making a little more time for yourself, Anytime Fitness Halswell is ready to welcome you.
