EST. 2020 • OUR STORY

The story behind our studio.

How an outdoor bootcamp in a school carpark grew to the only personal training studio that helps Palmerston North residents over 50.

A space where people over 50 can train safely, thrive, and reach their full potential.

We built Avenue because we believed people over 50 are not served well in the fitness industry. Fitness should be welcoming and fun wherever you're starting from. Since 2020 that idea has grown from an outdoor bootcamp with no equipment to a refined personal training studio where the coaches know your name, your goals, and your progress.

Nichola and Bryan bring over 40 years of combined coaching expertise and have have dedicated their careers to helping Palmerston North residents over 50 move beyond physical fatigue and stiffness, to feeling strong, mobile and confident.

Strength training for people over 50 requires more than high intensity high impact workouts and meal plans; it requires a thoughtful approach that respects your body, your joint health, and your busy lifestyle. At Avenue, we believe that midlife is not a time to slow down, but a time to establish new stronger foundations.

Whether you are navigating the complexities of getting older, looking to protect your bone density, get stronger for day to day life, or simply wanting the energy to match the demands of life, we provide the expert guidance and the quiet environment to make it happen.
