New Rangiora Fitness Centre
Our brand new Fitness Centre is now open and running well at 345 Flaxton Road, Rangiora. Not only is it North Canterbury's biggest and best gym, offering a full range of weights, cardio, Les Mills and other exercise options, but we also have Active Health service providers onsite along with an in-house cafe and a sauna.
All this is available to our members for just $16.50 per week - plus we have discounts for students, seniors and Community Services Card holders. And unlike most other gyms we welcome Casual visitors, come for a class or a workout - or just a sauna - and pay just a casual visit.
Our cafe is open to anyone - grab a barista coffee, healthy fruit smoothie and some healthy food while you shop in the area or are waiting for your warrant at VTNZ next door.
The Rangiora Fitness Centre is operated by the North Canterbury Sport & Recreation Trust, with your membership helping the Trust to run its many sporting programmes throughout the region.
See you at the Rangiora Fitness Centre soon.

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
