Why We Recommend Everyone Start With the 28-Day Kickstarter
Trying to start a new fitness routine when your life already feels full?
That’s a recipe for decision fatigue, missed sessions, and another plan that never quite sticks.
That’s why we start differently. At BFT Ashburton, your long-term success is our priority, and the 28-Day Kickstarter is how we get you there.
It’s not about quick fixes that don't stick. It’s about giving you a clear path, taking the mental load off, and helping you create a routine that actually works in your already-busy life.
No guessing. No pressure. Just a proven system to help you feel in control.
Here’s How It Works:
Phase 1: Attend Your Induction Night
Say goodbye to decision fatigue. - We do the thinking for you.
- Get your personalised plan: We map out your goals and concerns, so you don’t have to figure it out alone
- Get all the tech sorted: Apps, heart-rate monitor, we’ll get you set up
- Tour the studio, meet your crew: You’ll feel comfortable and confident before your first workout
You walk in knowing exactly what’s happening, where to go, and who’s with you. No surprises. No overthinking.
Phase 2: Build Momentum
Remove the mental overload. Show up and we’ll take care of the rest.
- Expert coaching in every session: You don’t have to wonder if you’re doing it right
- Weekly check-ins: Keeps you consistent without needing motivation to strike
- Train with people just like you: You’ll feel encouraged, not compared
We give you structure and support so you don’t have to carry it all in your head. Your job? Just get to the session, we’ve got the rest.
Phase 3: Feel the Shift
Finally, a routine that doesn’t feel like one more thing on your to-do list.
- More energy to keep up with the kids and mental clarity
- A rhythm that fits into your week without the stress
- Stronger physically and emotionally
You’ll leave behind the “I should” and step into a routine that feels non-negotiable, not from guilt, but because it finally feels good.
To keep things personal, we limit the number for each intake.
Your 28-Day Kickstarter Includes:
- Induction Night to Create Your 28-Day Blueprint to build a consistent, guilt-free routine that you can finally stick to.
- Regular Check-Ins so you feel seen, supported, and understood every step of the way.
- Goal Setting to create a clear and personalised path for your success from day one.
- Unlimited Training with Expert Modifications so you can trust your body again and train without fear of injury.
- BFT³ Heart Rate Technology that gives you certainty your hard work is paying off in real-time.
- Body Composition Scans to see tangible results that go far beyond the number on the scale.
- Private Community Group Access so you can find your people and connect with a community that truly gets it.

Your Questions, Addressed Head-On.
Q: What if I'm too unfit, old or injured to start?
A: You’re exactly who this is built for. Our coaches personalise every session to your ability, and most members start after time off, injury, or years of feeling “off track.” We’ll meet you where you are, just check in with your physio first if you’re managing a specific injury.
Q: What if I’m the most unco person there?
A: You're not alone, almost everyone feels that way walking in. Movements are demonstrated clearly, adjusted to suit you, and there’s no pressure to “keep up.” No judgement, and no-one watching, everyone’s focused on their own workout (and wondering if they’re the unco one).
Q: Is it all 25-year-olds and cliques?
A: Nope. Most of our members are 30-50, many juggling work, family, and a full plate. Our vibe is friendly, down-to-earth, and zero ego. You’ll quickly find yourself chatting with people who are exactly where you are in life.
Q: Do I need to get fit before I join?
A: Not at all. The 28-Day Kickstarter is the starting point. It’s designed to build confidence, structure, and strength from day one, without you needing to “prep” or prove anything.
Q: What if I just drop off again?
A: That’s why this isn’t a solo mission. You’ll have a coach checking in, a group cheering you on, and a done-for-you plan to follow. You don’t have to “stay motivated”, you just have to keep showing up. We’ll do the rest.

It’s the kind of place where you struggle to take a rest day
"BFT Ashy is my home away from home! On top of BFT’s great programming, Ashy has the most welcoming community and the best coaches I’ve come across! It’s the kind of place where you struggle to take a rest day because you don’t want to miss out!"

One of my best experiences in a gym environment.
"I recently joined BFT, and it has been a great improvement in all areas of my fitness. I have more energy and look forward to staying strong and fit. Fabulous supportive coaches, friendly community, really addictive to getting there every day, one of my best experiences in a gym environment in a long time, very happy 😀"

I don't have to worry about being judged or risk injuring myself.
"I transitioned from a commercial gym (3+ years) to BFT Ashburton about 5 months ago, and it has been such a great decision. I don’t have to dread figuring out the workouts every single week, worry about being judged, or risk injuring myself. The coaches are always there, ready to HELP, not just to push you, but to really break down movements and make them accessible. I genuinely feel so incredibly fit and healthy, and I’m actually excited to go each day. I highly recommend everyone give this gym a crack."

A Note From Our Owner.
"Hi, I'm Shanae, owner of BFT Ashburton. As a coach in this community, I've seen so many incredible local women feel like they've lost their spark to the chaos of life. My absolute passion is helping you find that energy and confidence again, in a space that feels like a second home. Our members' results are amazing, but it's the stories of them feeling like 'themselves' again that mean the world to us."
If you don't love the energy, the support, and how you feel after your first week, you don't pay. It's that simple.
