[WHAT IS ATHLETE FOUNDRY?]

Athlete Foundry is a new performance-focused training space being developed in Oamaru.

The facility is designed to support independent and coached adult training, with 24/7 access for members who want a space built around quality movement, strength, recovery, and long-term progression.

 

While Athlete Foundry also supports youth athlete development and Sport Academy pathways, those programmes operate separately and do not require a gym membership. This waitlist is specifically for those interested in 24/7 gym access at Athlete Foundry.
