After 12 amazing years at 399 New North Road, our lease has come to an end. We’ve searched far and wide for a new space that allows us to stay local, keep our community together, and continue offering the experience our members love.
It’s only 950 metres away — so your Habitat whānau isn’t going far!

14 Virginia Ave East, Eden Terrace
Just 950m up the road from our current site – same postcode, same neighbourhood, easier parking.

Parking is actually better!

✅ Free Parking (Private Car Park)

• Use driveway on the side of our building

• ONLY USE parks labelled RTLB or MAHADEO 

💲 Street Parking (Mon-Sat 8am–6pm)

• Just $1/hour for the first 2 hours

• Plenty of spaces on Virginia Ave East as well as neighbouring streets

All memberships will be paused automatically and free of charge during the closure period (25 Dec – 7 Jan).
If you have class packs or trials, your expiry dates will be extended so you won’t lose any credits.

No. Your membership pricing will stay the same.
We’ll hold off on our regular annual price review until later in 2026 where they may or may not change.

We’re refreshing our timetable to reflect what our members love most.
Here’s what’s staying and what’s changing:

Staying:

• Kaha

• Pulse

• Warrior

• Spin (now with its own semi-private area so bikes dont have to be moved)

New:

• Dedicated 12-bed Reformer Studio featuring three new Rebel Pilates styles:

  • Forge – Strength

  • Restore – Mobility

  • Ignite – Jumpboard Cardio

Farewelling (for now):

• G-Force

• Barre

• Yoga

• Hybrid Reformer/Mat classes (Reformer Rebel & Reformer Flow)

Yes – there will be a few small changes to the timetable as we settle into the new space.
We’ve reviewed attendance data from the past few months and will be adjusting class times slightly to reflect what’s been most popular, while also accommodating the new Reformer Studio setup and class styles.

Our goal is to make sure the schedule works best for the majority of our members – keeping your favourite classes like Kaha, Pulse, Warrior, and Spin while introducing the new Forge, Restore, and Ignite Reformer sessions.

You’ll be able to see the new timetable from late December

At Habitat, our strength has always been our ability to pivot and adapt to what our members want most. The fitness world is constantly evolving, and we’re proud to be a small business that listens, learns, and evolves right alongside our community.

After reviewing class attendance and feedback, we’ve decided to focus on the styles that have consistently had the most demand and delivered the best results. This means saying goodbye (for now) to Barre, Yoga, and G-Force – but not losing the essence of what made them special.

• The mobility, mindfulness, and flow of Yoga are now woven into our Reformer Restore classes.

• The firey low impact burn you loved in Barre Fix live on in Reformer Ignite and Forge.

• G-Force fans will still see TRX suspension straps used regularly in Warrior, Pulse, and Kaha, plus get a similar strength and stability focus in Reformer Forge.

These changes allow us to deliver a simpler, stronger timetable that gives our members more of what they love – while keeping Habitat fresh, sustainable, and thriving for years to come.

Your membership will continue as usual – however, to make a booking for Classes, Open Gym, and/or Personal Training – you’ll need to reset your password on our new app ‘HABITAT Members App’.

Before we reopen on 8 January, you’ll just need to:

• Download our new HABITAT Members App:
• APP STORE / APPLE
• PLAY STORE / ANDROID
• Add your card details to keep your billing and bookings running smoothly.

If you haven’t set up the new app by reopening, don’t stress – your payments will continue as normal through our current system until you make the switch.
Both systems will run side-by-side until April 2026, giving everyone plenty of time to move over at their own pace.

Our new studio will feature 12 Reformers and three distinct class styles under our Rebel Pilates program:

• Forge – for those who love strength and tone

• Restore – mobility and recovery (yoga-inspired)

• Ignite – dynamic jumpboard cardio

We totally understand that not everyone’s routine or transport will align.
If you’re unsure, we encourage you to chat with us first – the new space is only 950 metres away, parking is easier, and public transport is available.
If you do decide to cancel, please give atleast 14 days’ notice by emailing kingsland@habitatforfitness.co.nz

Saturday 21 February 2026 | 7:30am – 12pm
We’re celebrating with:

• Free mini classes

• Giveaways

• Open house tours of the new space

Bring a friend, join a class, and help us start the new chapter together.

The same team you know and love! All your favourite coaches and our in-house Osteopath, Pat, will be joining us at the new location too.

The new Habitat space has been purpose-built to feel fresh, functional, and welcoming – with a dedicated Reformer Studio, upgraded lighting and airflow (yes there will be aircon!), a semi-private Spin area, and there’s still a dedicated space for your own workouts and Personal Training.
It’s smaller, but every corner has been designed to give you the best experience possible.

We’ll keep everyone in the loop through:

• Email updates

• In-club posters and QR codes

• Social media announcements

Absoloutely! As usual, we just ask that you ensure your fur or human baby is safe at all times, and if they become distressed or need your attention that you attend to them as soon as possible.
