Millenium Institute

We may train some of New Zealand’s top athletes, but we’re also set up to help anyone reach their personal fitness goals. Whether you’re just starting to get in shape, or want to push yourself a bit further, our world class gym facilities, fun, friendly environment and experienced trainers will help you get there faster.

We offer a variety of fitness classes, a swim school in our Olympic-sized pool, and state-of-the-art gym equipment, so you’ll find something to suit you.

A charitable organisation, our facilities were completed in 2002, with the support and vision of members of the business community, including Graeme Avery and Stephen Tindall.

Our goal was to create a place where our local community and top athletes alike could access world-class facilities, training and healthcare services. The fees paid by our members go toward training and supporting New Zealand’s athletes.

In 2009, Millennium partnered with AUT University to become New Zealand’s leading institute for sports research, coaching and management. Other partners like Nestle, Sovereign and Speedo came on board to help us improve our facilities, offer more to the community and become the official home for High Performance Sport NZ.

Our vision is to continue to resource our community and this country’s next generation of elite athletes to achieve their goals. Our $43 million transformation, including the new public gym, will transform the Millennium into the National Training Centre for High Performance Sport. It will bring the best of sport research, coaching and management expertise from AUT University, the Millennium Institute and High Performance NZ. It means our gym members will have everything they need to be the best they can be, whatever their level.
