O2 Exercise - Maungaraki

Celebrating 11 years

Since opening it’s doors in November 2006, O2 Exercise Health Club has grown to be an integral part of the local Maungaraki community, as well as a great facility for people from the wider area who are looking for something different and personal from their health facility.

Founders Nikki Braniff-Jones and Reno Jones launched O2 Exercise with a goal to run a boutique style fitness club that was accessible and conveniently located, and could support people with their health, fitness and sporting goals in a warm, friendly environment.

After 11 successful years at the heart of O2 Exercise, in November 2017, Nikki and Reno decided it was time to say good bye to the O2 Exercise community and move on to new adventures.

A new chapter 

O2 Exercise began a whole new chapter on 27th November 2017, when Toni Patchett, took over as the proud new owner.

Toni feels strongly about continuing the legacy started by a Nikki and Reno, and helping O2 Exercise’s facilities, equipment, classes, treatments and activities to continue to grow from strength to strength.

Her vision is to keep the gym environment fresh, stimulating, gently challenging, and above all fun and welcoming for people from all backgrounds. She’s passionate about supporting all of the gym’s members to achieve their health and fitness goals, and to offering a holistic approach to health and wellbeing.
