Access · Tower Junction

How 24/7 access actually works here.

Most Christchurch gyms that advertise 24/7 hand you a swipe card and hope for the best. Inception runs it through the GymMaster-based mobile app instead. Once your membership is active, the app on your phone is your key: no card to lose, no reception desk to wait for, no set hours to work around. The 800m² floor at Tower Junction is open to you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

The building is covered by security and surveillance at all times, and because entry is app-only, the only people inside after hours are current members. That is the quiet difference between a floor that is merely open and one that stays comfortable to train on at 5am or 11pm.

Staffed hours are separate, and they are for support, not access. Monday to Thursday 9am to 7pm. Friday and Saturday 10am to 2pm. Closed Sunday and public holidays. Member access is 24 hours, 7 days, 365 days a year. Come in during a staffed window for your first visit, a free body composition scan, or a walk-through of the equipment, then train on your own schedule from there. See the full inventory on the equipment page of 71 machine variants across 92 pieces.

The off-peak advantage · 01–04

Four reasons the quiet hours are the best hours.

01 · Staffed windows
For support
The team is on the floor Monday to Thursday 9am to 7pm, Friday and Saturday 10am to 2pm. Use a staffed window for your first visit, a free body scan, or a form check, then train on your own clock the rest of the week.
02 · Quiet off-peak floor
71 variants
Train the early-morning or late-night off-peak windows and the 800m² floor is yours. 71 machine variants across 92 pieces means you move through your whole programme without queuing for a rack.
03 · Free parking
3,000+ parks
Tower Junction gives you 3,000+ free car parks a short walk from the door, lit and open at any hour. No metered street parking, no circling the block before a 5am session.
04 · Secured after-hours entry
App + surveillance
App-only entry means only current members are inside, and security with surveillance covers the building around the clock. Off-peak training that stays comfortable, not just accessible.

Super handy location inside inception gym and the staff there are well educated on the products they sell. Good selection of high quality products. Highly recommended the Valor pre workout - mango flavour is great, nice pump and heaps of energy without the crash you get from some pre-workouts.

Im not very experienced with gymming but everyone was very encouraging. One of the staff, Danny, showed me around and got me started and was happy to show me any machines I wasn't sure about. I can see now why people rave about this place. It's nice and big and you don't feel like you are bumping into people while using the machines. It's great for beginners like me, but also has more niche machines if you want to take it to the next level.

Just left city fitness to come to inception gym, have to say it's probably one of the top gyms I've been to! The staff are great really informative and friendly helped me figure out a few machines and knowledge on their products are awesome! The Gym equipment is next level a lot of unique machines here that no other gym has! Place just feels alot cooler and not packed with people waiting for machines like city fitness or snap!

The trainers are always willing to help and offer advice. The supplements they sell are also top tier.

Who trains the quiet hours

Built for shift workers and students.

Nurses off a late at Christchurch Hospital, hospitality crews finishing after midnight, tradies starting before dawn, and UC or ARA students fitting a session around lectures: 24/7 app entry means your hours decide when you train, not ours. Compare the entry plan at $18.90/week against the open-term option and pick what fits your roster.

Yes. Members train 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year at Tower Junction, 65 Blenheim Road, Addington.

Member access is 24 hours, 7 days, 365 days a year.

You unlock the door with the GymMaster-based Inception Gym app on your phone. Once your membership is active the app is your key, so there is no swipe card to lose and no reception desk to wait for. The same app manages your membership, holds, and body scan bookings. Outside staffed hours the building is monitored by security and surveillance at all times.

The building is covered by security and surveillance around the clock, and app-only entry means only current members are inside. Tower Junction is a well-lit retail precinct just off Blenheim Road with 3,000+ free car parks, so you park close to the door rather than down a dark side street. Members who train the early-morning and late-night off-peak windows consistently mention how quiet and comfortable the floor feels.
