Inception Members

The pairing every Inception member should know about.

Every contract membership includes a complimentary initial consultation through Inception Nutrition, the PhD-led coaching service that operates from the same building. The body scan data you collect in the gym is the same data the coaching team prescribes against: macros calibrated to your lean mass, supplementation trimmed to what earns its place, weekly adjustments based on what your body needs.

Members who pair gym training with nutrition coaching consistently report measurably better outcomes than those who train alone. Same owners, same building, same data, real results.

Frequently Asked Questions.

How do the 12 and 24-month terms work?

The 12 and 24-month plans have a minimum term: the period you commit to up front in exchange for the lower weekly rate.

Once your minimum term ends, your membership continues on an open-term basis at the same weekly rate, and your rate will not go up for as long as you stay a continuous member. You are free to cancel any time with 28 days' notice.

To cancel right at the end of your minimum term, give 28 days' notice before your end date so your final payment lines up with your last day.

To cancel during your minimum term, an early termination charge applies: 28 days' notice at the full rate, plus 50% of the remaining contract value, plus the retail value of any complimentary products you received for committing (for example your free Inception Labs product). It is paid in full when you submit your cancellation. Upfront 12 and 24-month payments are not refunded if you leave early.

How to cancel: in person at the gym during staffed hours with photo ID, or by returning a signed Membership Cancellation form with ID. Cancellations cannot be done by phone, and cannot be processed while a membership is on hold or in arrears.

Open Term has no minimum term and no early termination charge: cancel any time with 28 days' notice.

Is there a joining fee or key-tag fee at Inception Gym?

There is no joining fee, and you enter 24/7 using the GymMaster app, so no key tag is required. If you would prefer a physical fob, it is an optional $30, with one active tag per membership.

How much does a gym membership cost in Christchurch?

Memberships at Inception Gym start at $18.90 per week on a 24-month plan, $23.90 per week on a 12-month plan, and $33.90 per week on Open Term with no fixed commitment. Both the 12 and 24 month plans continue on an open-term basis at the same weekly rate once the initial term is complete, with 28 days notice to cancel. Students, Community Services cardholders, and first responders qualify for discounted rates. Every membership includes 24/7 access, free body composition scans, a complimentary initial PT or nutrition consultation, and member pricing on supplements. Ongoing nutrition coaching is available as a separate service through Inception Nutrition, based in the same building.

What membership options does Inception Gym offer?

Three terms: Open Term ($33.90/week, no contract), 12 Month ($23.90/week) and 24 Month ($18.90/week). Upfront payment is available on the 12-month ($1,031.52) and 24-month ($1,631.45) terms and saves 17%. Day passes ($30), week passes ($100), month passes ($200), Fitness Passport, and a free 24-hour trial for Christchurch locals are also available.

Which Inception membership is best value?

The 24-month plan is the best value at $18.90 per week ($2.70 a day), saving $780 a year versus open-term pricing. It also includes two free Inception Labs products worth up to $240, on top of the 24/7 access, free body scans, and initial consultation that come with every membership.

What's the cheapest way to join Inception Gym?

The 24-month plan at $18.90 per week ($2.70 a day) is the lowest weekly rate. Paying a 12 or 24-month plan upfront saves a further 17%, so the 24-month upfront price is $1,631.45. There is no joining fee on any plan.

Can I try Inception Gym before joining?

Yes. Christchurch locals can train free for 24 hours, one trial per person, with full access to all 92 pieces of equipment and a complimentary body composition scan during staffed hours. Visiting from out of town? Grab a day ($30), week ($100) or month ($200) pass instead, no membership needed.
