Onyx Fitness Studio

THE ONYX STORY Echoing the stillness of the night sky, the Onyx stone symbolises initiation and change; inspiring personal power through facing your fears. At ONYX we aspire to promote Pole Sport in New Zealand, while improving the skills and fitness levels of our clients; whether they are gymnastic athletes, recreational enthusiasts, or just want to try something new & exciting. Established in 2018 by pole fitness expert Ximena and her husband Brook, ONYX has grown into a thriving and supportive community who inspire one-another on their personal fitness journey. Ximena’s Journey In 2011, after living in the United States for many years, I moved back to my country of birth - Argentina. It was not an easy adjustment and this took a huge toll on my emotional health. I was lost and needed something to bring me up, but my usual support and social networks were non-existent. My confidence took a huge hit. So my mother suggested to try a Pilates class in a studio near my home. I really liked it, but after taking a few classes my trainer suddenly stopped all Pilates classes and created a Pole Studio in its place. My Instructor invited me but I refused, thinking “that’s definitely not for me...” Despite my reservations and the obvious connotations, I convinced a Pilates friend to try Pole with me, at least until we could find a new Pilates studio. Our Classes ONYX Fitness Studio offers a range of classes; from Pole Sport to Flexibility and Acro Classes to one-on-one Personal Training sessions, and more. Whether you are a beginner or an expert, instructors follow a weekly syllabus incorporating turns, lifts, tricks and combinations to gain strength, flexibility and self-confidence. Each class is 60 minutes and you will always feel challenged. If you already have some prior experience with pole, please contact our studio, so that we can recommend the best level for you. The studio is air-conditioned and temperature controlled, depending on the class type.
