The Gym
A gym with the equipment
and space to train properly.
We've put a lot of thought into the equipment we have at Compound and how the gym is laid out. There are nine lifting platforms, 46 metres of indoor turf, a large range of strength and conditioning equipment and enough space that members aren't constantly waiting for equipment.
You can come in at 6pm and still get a squat rack.
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
Sauna access included with every membership, not sold as an add-on.
Training Culture
The people you train
around make a difference.
One of the things our members tell us they enjoy most about Compound is the environment.
Compound attracts people who take their training seriously. We have competitive athletes from a range of sports training alongside each other, which creates an environment where working hard is normal and people support each other's progress.
We've also built a pretty good community outside of training, with regular social events, competitions and workshops.
Local discounts
Members get discounts at a range of local businesses, including Recovery Room and cafés around town.
Monthly meetups
A debrief at Emerson's, or other good locals, once a month.
Competitions, workshops and sponsorships
Compete, get sponsored, learn from other coaches and trainers.
"The people are pretty amazing, and they have built a super inspirational place to workout."

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.
