A Gym Built for Athletic Training
Come at 6pm.
You'll still get a rack.
650m² inside Forsyth Barr Stadium, laid out in five zones — warm-up, cables, upper body, lower body, and full body & conditioning.
Warm up, lift, then do your conditioning without shifting gear or waiting for a spot.
We have chalk, you can drop weights and training barefoot is fine, if that's how you roll.
Round-the-clock access
Train at 5am or midnight — your key-tag works at all hours.
Lifting platforms
Competition bars, bumper plates, and chalk allowed — no waiting for a rack.
Turf & conditioning
Free-form runners, assault bikes, ski ergs, Concept2 rowers, sleds and more — indoors, year-round.
On-site sports physio
Recovery Room runs its clinic inside the gym. Your first ACC appointment is free, and $15 after that.
Infrared saunas
Recovery access included in every membership, not sold as an add-on.
On And Off The Floor
Become part of the
Compound community.
You can train hard here without feeling silly — everyone is getting after it and everyone's welcoming. We do our best to support you every way we can, on and off the gym floor.
Local discounts

State-of-the-art free weights… space to train without having to adjust your workout plan… the best atmosphere with the most knowledgeable and friendly team.
Gym well set up, plenty of lifting platforms, good range of machines and free weights catering for all fitness levels. Dunedin are lucky with this one.
Easily the best gym I’ve trained in. It has legit good equipment. It has tons of space. And it’s run by good sorts who know what’s what.
Never a ‘busy’ gym as there is a tonne of space and heaps of squat racks.
