We are a Strength and Conditioning and Physiotherapy gym suitable for all ages and levels of fitness, located in Pukekohe.

At J2 we offer a wide range of services to suit every person, from the weekend warrior to the amateur athlete, through to the elite. At J2 we believe in an integrated model of strength & conditioning and physiotherapy strategies, to enhance athletic performance in both training and injury rehabilitation. This model has been developed through a wide range of experiences in high performance and recreational sport. Our experiences as athletes, strength coaches and physiotherapists at varying levels of sport, allow us to have a unique understanding of the mental and physical demands of sport and injury. We believe that with the right tools and knowledge every person has the ability to be at their best.

We also believe this model has the opportunity to change the way people view their training and/or injury rehabilitation in the private setting. Our model sees both strength coach and physiotherapist involved in planning and developing training and rehabilitation plans. We also have close relationships with some of New Zealand’s best sport dieticians to offer nutrition support. We believe this detailed approach, at this stage only seen in professional sport in New Zealand, gives you the client the best possible opportunity to achieve your training or rehabilitation goals.

  • Ready to up your game?

    The J2 Athletic development program provides one of the only full athletic development models outside of a high-performance sports organisation in New Zealand.

    This model includes extensive performance and physiotherapy testing, monitoring and training throughout the program. With the ever-increasing demands and pressures of both amateur and elite athletes through both youth and adult pathways, it is important you optimise your training approach to perform at your best and most of all stay healthy. There is extensive literature to suggest that athletes that complete more training sessions during a calendar year are more likely to achieve their performance goals.

    Our athletic development model follows an individualised pathway to identify your weaknesses and continue to build on your strengths allowing you to #BeAtYourBest.
