Strength After 40
Build the strength, fitness and confidence to keep doing more of what you love — now and for the years ahead.
Mint is a small boutique Christchurch gym for people who want expert guidance without the noise, crowds or intimidation of a large commercial gym.
We combine personal training, intelligent programming and 24/7 member access in a relaxed, friendly environment where training is built around you.
New to strength training? Coming back after a break? Not quite sure where to start? You’ll fit in just fine.
You Don’t Need to Get Fit Before You Start
A lot of people reach their 40s, 50s or 60s and realise their body doesn’t quite feel the way it used to.
Strength slips. Fitness drops. Old injuries start reminding you they’re still there. And getting started can feel harder than it should.
That doesn’t mean you need extreme workouts or six days a week in the gym.
You need to know where you are, what matters to you and what type of training will help.
That’s where Mint comes in.
We help everyday people get stronger, move better and build the fitness they need for real life.
No fitness-model expectations.
No need to keep up with anyone else.
Just intelligent training that progresses with you.
Mint exists to help people better understand their health and improve their health in order to better their lives.
We Assess Before We Train
01
Understand Where You Are
We start with you — your goals, training history, current fitness, movement, strength and anything that may affect how you train.
02
Build Your Plan
Your training is based on your current ability, your goals and the life you actually live.
Not somebody else’s programme.
03
Train. Review. Progress.
We coach the important things, track progress and adapt your programme as your strength and fitness improve.
Consistency before intensity.
Why Strength After 40?
Getting older doesn’t mean lowering your expectations for what your body can do.
It means being smarter about how you train.
The goal isn’t to train like you’re 25.
The goal is to build a body that keeps working well at 45, 55, 65, 75 and beyond.
Strength
Cardiovascular Fitness
Mobility & Stability
Recovery
It’s about protecting your future.
Small on Purpose
Mint isn’t trying to be the biggest gym in Christchurch.
We’d rather be the gym where people know your name.
Our smaller environment means more personal attention, a calmer training floor and coaches who get to know how you move, what you’re working towards and when something needs adjusting.
You won’t disappear into the crowd.
There isn’t much of a crowd to disappear into.
Whether you’re working with a trainer or coming in to complete your own programme, Mint is designed to make training feel approachable and easier to stick with.
Professional enough to know what we’re doing.
Small enough to notice you.
Ways To Train
01
Personal Training
One-to-one coaching for people who want structure, accountability and a programme built around their goals.
Choose from focused 30-minute sessions or more comprehensive 45-minute sessions depending on your needs.
02
Mint Membership
Prefer to train independently?
Mint members enjoy 24/7 access to our boutique training space, with the equipment you need for strength, cardio and functional training without the feel of a large commercial gym.
Real People. Real Life. Real Progress.
Mint members aren’t all training for medals, six-packs or Instagram.
They’re training to feel stronger, move better and keep doing the things they enjoy.
Stronger for What Comes Next
You don’t need to wait until you feel fitter, lighter or more motivated.
Start by finding out where you are now.
We’ll help you work out what you need, what you don’t, and what a sensible next step looks like.
Stop waiting to feel ready. Start building ready.
Feel Mint. Live More.
