Powerlifting Gym Christchurch

Looking for a real powerlifting gym in Christchurch? The Gallery Gym is built for lifters who want strength, community, and 24/7 access — without the ego. Whether you are chasing a new total, prepping for a competition, or grinding through your first heavy deadlift, this is your home.

Located in the Christchurch City Centre, The Gallery Gym offers a full strength and powerlifting setup that’s accessible, supportive, and results-driven. We welcome beginners and seasoned competitors alike, and we’ve created a space that values commitment, consistency, and real lifting.

What Makes Us a Powerlifting Gym

Unlike commercial gyms that hide the chalk and cringe at heavy pulls, we are proud to support lifters who take their strength seriously. Here’s what you will find at The Gallery:​

• Squat racks and heavy-duty benches

• Open flooring for deadlifts

• Chalk-friendly zones

• Bumper plates and specialty bars

• Hammer Strength mathines, sled, and strongman tools

• 24/7 access and open gym structure​

If you’ve ever been told to keep it down during a lift — we are your people!

Train With Purpose, Recover With Intention

Powerlifting isn’t just about what you do on the platform. It’s about how you recover. That is why our members have access to:​

• Steam sauna and cold plunge recovery (available with Premium memberships)

• Movement preparation areas

• Free mobility equipment

We believe recovery is just as important as programming — and we’ve built the tools into the gym to help you stay injury-free and progressing week after week.

No Contracts, No Attitude

Our gym isn’t about hype. It’s about hard work. We offer flexible weekly memberships starting from $7.99/week — plus a $10 day/casual pass if you just want to drop in and try our gym.​

Come train before a comp. Run a heavy day with your crew. Or just find your own space to lift and focus. No pressure. No gimmicks. Just serious strength.

For Lifters, By Lifters

At The Gallery Gym, you will train alongside people who get it. We’ve got bodybuilders, powerlifters, strongwomen, and everyday lifters grinding together and supporting each other. Whether you are running a Sheiko block or pulling singles off blocks — there’s room for you here.

Build Your Total, Your Way

Every lifter has a different reason for stepping up to the bar. Whether you are chasing a 500kg total or simply trying to deadlift your own bodyweight, The Gallery Gym provides the space and support to get you there. Our setup allows you to train solo in focus or alongside others who thrive on that iron-community vibe. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all programming — here, you train the way your goals demand, with access to the tools and space that help you build your numbers on your terms.

Coaching Available – If You Want It

Want some guidance with your squat depth or bench setup? Need a second set of eyes on your form? Our personal trainers include coaches with strength sport backgrounds, available for one-off sessions or long-term programming. Whether you are prepping for a comp, aiming to improve your total, or just want to avoid injury as you lift heavier — our coaching can provide expert input and accountability. Just ask at the front desk or reach out online to be matched with a coach who lifts and lives this life.
