Alpine Health & Fitness won the Club of the Year Award for a medium-sized gym at the annual NZ Fitness Industry Awards in Auckland on
Saturday night. Alpine Health & Fitness was a finalist alongside five other gyms from Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch.
Dr Nigel Harris, head judge, senior lecturer at AUT University in Auckland and current chair of Fitness NZ commended
Alpine Health & Fitness. “Over 90% of Alpine Health & Fitness members recommend their gym to others and over 90% of the staff have stayed with the club since first opening
three years ago. Their impressive growth and high attendance numbers are an indication of happy, loyal members. Their
reinvestment is testimony to their ongoing commitment to continued member-centred excellence.”

fantastic to have been recognised as being a top notch community health & fitness facility by our peers.”
