Davo is taking Impact again! 🥊

We are so excited to announce that trainer Davo is back with a regular group fitness class every week .co.nz

Starting this Tuesday, 12 March 💪

See you there?

Confused with what diet is best?

With so many different diets out there it can feel almost impossible to find the right one for your lifestyle. So many ‘influencers’ talking of ‘the best diet for (whatever goal)’ when in reality there is no golden diet, but fundamental nutrition principles that all diets are build upon. We thought that by breaking down these principles it would help some of our followers in their health and wellness journey.

✨Energy expenditure ✨

Whether the goal is to lose or gain weight, they both work on the same principle of energy expenditure. If you want to lose weight you fundamentally have to consume less calories than you expend leaving you in a deficit. Conversely, if you wanted to gain weight you would need to eat more than you expend leaving you in a surplus.

✨ Protein ✨

It is important to consume an adequate amount of protein to help fuel your exercise. Protein has a range of benefits such as being essential in the process of building muscle. Research suggests that to build muscle we need to be in a caloric surplus and eating 1.6-2.2 grams of protein per kg of body weight. In addition, protein is typically more satiating than other nutrients, meaning that you will feel fuller for longer.

We hope this breakdown helps you in your fitness Journey - if you have any questions feel free to leave a comment or send us a private message.

It’s taken some time…but everything on poolside is now open.

Spa, Sauna, Steam Room and of-course our magnificent 50m pool 😎.

No booking required.
Staff on hand 😇
Sun shining ☀️
Happy days 😁

Woweee it’s humid in Auckland today.

A good reminder, that we need to bring a sweat towel with us to the gym.

We love to see a good sweaty workout underway…but we love it even more when you clean up your sweat after 😎

Simple:

Towel - Yourself
Spray & Wipe - Equipment

It’s super easy to do, and it becomes part of the routine once you develop the habit.

Class time change!

is moving to 5:30pm from Monday the 21st onwards.

This is the first of our timetable updates, with a few more to be announced next week.

The Arena is still restricted to 4 people under red light, and we recommend booking in advance to secure your spot.

You can do this on our website, or in person at reception.

Join us at The Arena for a 30min Interval training blast 💥

The Sauna is open. Couldn’t be happier.

It’s rather toasty in here tho…

(Reminder: You don’t need to wear a mask while in the sauna ⭐️)

Hey Olympic team!

Here is a little update in regards to masks and mask wearing…

Please make sure to wear a MASK when entering and exiting the facility.

This will be mandatory from the 3rd of February onwards (no mask, no entry).

If you can start this practice now, it’ll start a good habit.

You are not required to wear a mask while exercising or on poolside…

Other times, such as in the changing rooms, speaking to other staff or members…mask up 👍

Bandanas and alternative face coverings are also no longer acceptable as of the 3rd February.

Grab a Mango Amino Energy from The Olympic reception and treat yourself to a beautiful summer Mocktail.

Check out this recipe 😇

Great for pre or post workout 💪

Hey everyone ⭐️

As of midnight tonight (Sunday the 23rd Jan) the whole country will move to COVID response red light 📍

The Olympic remains open with a few changes and restrictions.

Key changes:
- The Sauna and Steam are closed.
- Masks to be worn in and out of the facility.
- No Arena Group Fitness classes.

We will keep everything up to date on our website. Because of the nature of these responses, many operational factors are subject to change.

We have been through this before, and we will get through this again.

Want to carry our timetable with you at all times? 🤠

Not a problem.

With the holidays coming to a close, we’re glad to announce that Group Fitness is back on! 💪🤩

This month we’re excited to be bringing back The Arena - a 30 minute high intensity workout with our fitness instructors 💃

Great news 📰

Our steam room is back open.

Relax and recover after a workout or big day in the sun ☀️

All users will need to keep 1m socially distanced inside the room…the same rules that apply to all areas inside our facility.

Note: The Sauna will remain closed for repairs and UPGRADES 💪 (hopeful for this to open end of January)

21/22 Holiday Opening Hours! 🎄🎉

It’s that time of the year where it feels like every second day is a public holiday…🤔

Opening and closing changes begin from the 24th December, through to the 4th January

No group classes during this time.

Happy Holidays

A well over due and fun Xmas party for our hard working team.

Goodbye 2021…and I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling 2022!

💙💙💙

Tomorrow, Friday the 10th of December is Kathy’s final day with us here at The Olympic Pools and Fitness Centre.

Starting as a receptionist (26 years ago!!!) Kathy grew alongside The Olympic and moved into her position as Centre Manager.

She has developed close relationships with both staff and customers…and without a doubt will be sorely missed by both individuals and the wider Newmarket community.

We will be having a staff farewell party tomorrow night (closing the facility early at 6:45pm). But make sure to come and say your best wishes during the day either today or tomorrow.

All the best for the next step Kathy 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

Don’t be a stranger, and come and see us .co.nz

The doors are back open!

Lovely to see all the smiling faces return to the centre this morning.

Thank you for your patience and understanding in making this a happy and exciting reopening.

The staff have masks on, but that doesn’t mean you can’t talk to them 😇. We would love to chat and catch up on lockdown time.

That’s a wrap for pre-red light fitness .co.nz .

Thank you to all of those who attended our outdoor sessions (special shout-out to Luisa, Justin, Natalie and Ryan for the most attendance). And of course thank you to the amazing instructors for inspiring, motivating + keeping the classes running.

This isn’t the end tho, we will restart the outdoor sessions on Monday and Wednesday afternoons.

We can’t wait to see everyone back at The Olympic tomorrow onwards.

Only 2 days until we are open again.

We are so excited to see our lovely community of members and casual customers.

Before you return, here is a quick little update on what to expect.

For further information, head over to our website - theolympic.co.nz

This will be a little bit of a learning curve for us too, so make sure to treat the staff with respect and just enjoy the fact we can finally open again 😇

A message from Lance:

“Hey Olympic family. It’s been so long since we’ve seen each other. I miss you all. I hope you are all keeping fit and well.

My impact people, I’m going to miss our bubbles and catch up for the last class of the year.

Till we meet again… Be kind to your selves. Be kind to everyone you meet 🙏💙”

Monday afternoons look good at The Domain 👌💪
