He has helped my Gym to grow over the last 8 years with knowledgeable and somewhat meticulous attention to what I wanted as a client, providing quality gear at very competitive prices.

Unitec Institute of Technology
“We have been dealing with Elite Fitness for just over 2 years now purchasing cardio machines, weights, and resistance training accessories. Compared to other suppliers we have dealt with, they are awesome. Equipment is top-notch and competitively priced, service is prompt and friendly, and they are always willing to look at alternative options for us. We have purchased a few custom-made racks from Elite that when arrived, and installed, exceeded our expectations. Highly recommended.”

Body Synergy Gym
“I have been a business owner in the fitness industry for 14 years. Over that time I have had many dealings with Ian Kirk from Elite Fitness to purchase top quality gym equipment. Elite fitness is truly exceptional.
They understand customer service and most importantly are there to help if equipment breaks down. To me, this is extremely important. I have referred many clients to Elite Fitness as I believe in their business. I highly recommend Elite Fitness as your first option when purchasing any gym equipment.”

His ability to build the most functional area with the space we had was necessary. He is very positive, helpful and professional. Nothing was a trouble and his aftercare, once the project was completed, was first class.”
