BEYOND FITNESS
An experience that goes beyond fitness with everything under one roof - 24/7 gym, recovery space, wellness studio, group training, café, and lounge. It’s the full mind-body experience.
wellness studio
Our wellness studio provides a peaceful space where pilates, yoga, and reformer classes promote holistic well-being. With expert instructors and a supportive atmosphere, we inspire growth for mind, body, and spirit.
group training + Challenges
Our group training studio brings energy, motivation, and community to every HIIT, strength, and circuit class. With passionate instructors guiding you, we push you to achieve your fitness goals in a supportive, empowering space.
recovery space
Our recovery space features top-of-the-line amenities like saunas, ice baths, a float pod, and compression therapy units. These aren’t just luxuries - they’re essential tools that support both the physical and mental well-being of our members.
Why They Chose Social Project
I’ve been to many (if not all) gyms in Porirua, but Social Project hits different - the vibe, the cleanliness, and all the recovery options under one roof. It’s never dull or overcrowded, and the team always makes me feel so welcome.

Been with this lifestyle gym for almost a year now and have been singing it's praises to everyone I've talked to. The staff are lovely, approachable and super supportive! They have created a safe and fun environment to train. You feel a part of the team.

SP is an amazing gym! Not only does it offer high quality workout equipment, but it also features recovery elements that help you feel rejuvenated after every session. The staff are friendly and always ready to assist, making it a welcoming environment.
Layla
Absolutely loved the variety of fitness classes available at Social Project! The reformer classes were a standout for me, I highly recommend trying a pulse or flow session. The gym is fully equipped with everything you could need, and the coffee is the perfect post-workout treat.
Ethan
How do I describe it? Like you are in a gym that is one-part spacious loft apartment and one-part penthouse suite! The staff are stars! Make you feel so welcome. Shakes, food, workspace. It's the second home I wish was my first.
Andrew
Can't recommend this gym highly enough. The classes are well thought out and challenging for all abilities. In combination with the recovery aspects to the gym, the child zone, cafe and lounge area, it sets itself above any other comparable workout space in the region.
Kayleigh
A fantastic offering and great value for money. Infra-red sauna, compression gear, reformer Pilates & yoga are highlights of mine. Plenty of variety to choose from & friendly staff. Love this place!
Daniella
Great place to bring my daughter, with SP having a gym that includes a kids zone. The recovery facilities are amazing. A great place to complement my lifestyle change. The staff are great too — overall, a great gym and club.

Lace up and get moving with Run Club - every Saturday at 8am from Social Project Porirua. All paces welcome, good vibes guaranteed. Whether you're chasing a PB or just keen for a cruisy jog and a coffee after, this crew’s got your back.
Training for your next Hyrox event? We’ve got you! Our trainers and tailored programs will help you build the strength, endurance, and grit to dominate your next event - and cross that finish line feeling unstoppable.
Pre-gym bite, post-gym sip, or laptop and latte kind of day? Our café’s got your back. With good vibes and even better fuel like protein oats and the legendary Peanut Butter Powerhouse smoothie, we make it easy to stay nourished and on the move.
Looking for more than just a gym? Social Project is where movement, recovery, and real life come together. Built by friends and family with decades of experience, we’ve created a space for all ages and fitness levels. Whether you’re here to lift, stretch, or simply reset, we’ve made wellness easy, flexible, and yours to define.
Our Kids Zone is a safe, fun space where little ones can play, explore, and make friends - leaving you free to focus on your workout and enjoy the Social Project experience.
