What our members say


Seeing a pattern? That’s the point.
Discomfort becomes routine. Effort becomes instinct.
We’re not just building bodies — we’re rewiring responses.

We love working with teams and this group of young athletes was no exception. Honoured and grateful for these opportunities. Looking forward to seeing you all in the Arena again soon.

We want to take this opportunity to wish our brothers from the BlackSox our very best wishes as they head away to the World Cup in Alberta, Canada. It’s been an honour and a pleasure sharing the Ludus love with you over the last couple of months.

Not to mention a little bit of Savassanah after a high intensity Ludus session goes a long way. To put it simply… what goes up must come down.

Hands up if this is a bit of you 🙌🏽

So many amazing memories over the years. Glenside was and always will be the spiritual home of Ludus Magnus and we built a humble, hard-working culture within those concrete walls. There were also a few trips away spreading the Ludus Gospel! Lots of teams and schools came through to get some Ludus love in the House of the Gladiator but mostly we love our people that came through to sweat, laugh, and die… only to come back for more the next day… and we have been blessed by it all.
If you’ve been a part of the Ludus journey at some particular point in your life drop us a comment below. We’d love to hear from you. Community is and always has been the best part about running this gym. Grateful for all of you out there.

(Through unity we thrive.)
Ngoi Pēwhairangi believed that connection, language, and shared purpose could lift a people higher than any individual achievement ever could.
At Ludus, we believe the same.
We don’t just train — we build a whānau.
Every rep, every breath, every high five, every quiet ‘you got this’ when someone is struggling — it’s not about how strong we are alone.
It’s about how unstoppable we are together.
That’s our legacy. That’s our mana. That’s Ludus.
Hei maumaharatanga ki te wairua o Ngoi Pēwhairangi – ka mau te wehi.
(In remembrance of the spirit of Ngoi Pēwhairangi – truly awe-inspiring.)
Inspired by the legacy of Ngoi Pēwhairangi and the beautiful tribute carried forward by the Pātea Māori Club. Love this waiata whanau!

It’s all about challenging and then empowering these young athletes to go out there and get it for themselves and each other.
Looking forward to watching them build this year. Thanks for bringing them through @antstrachan legend brother.

It’s always an absolute privilege to spend time with young athletes. Building their awareness of their bodies and their movement patterns builds confidence and self-belief. Make them stronger, make them smarter, make them move better, make them more resilient. Planting seeds.


If you have a teenager and you want to get them into exercise in an environment where they are empowered, encouraged and supported then send them in for our Primal Youth Sessions.
We are running 60min sessions by registration only on Wednesdays at 4pm. Spots are limited so get your registrations in via email now to joe@ludusmagnus.co.nz. Our first session is this coming Wednesday 26th April at 4pm.

Rob, you will be missed mate. It’s been an absolute honour and a pleasure training you over the past few years, especially in the lead up to your first Hyrox.
You always attacked every workout with a quiet determination and you always smiled through the pain and the hurt which was inspiring for everyone around you… also maybe a little bit intimidating 😂😂😂 in the best way possible!
PS We know you don’t do social media but that’s another reason we love and respect you 🫡☺️❤️

Rupert Yortt
Huge shoutout to Rupert Yortt for his dedication and progress at Ludus over the past few months! Rupert has been consistently showing up, putting in the work, and pushing himself to new levels. His effort and commitment haven’t gone unnoticed, and we want to take a moment to celebrate his journey.
How long have you been training at Ludus?
“I initially started about a year and a half ago but was a bit ‘casual’ with my attendance. I’ve only got into it a bit more seriously in the past 6 months.”
Why do you train at Ludus?
“I lacked motivation to train by myself and had heard from my brother, who was previously a member, about the challenge of the Ludus classes. Getting a new workout each time keeps things interesting, and the type of workouts provide a good variety of mobility, strength, and aerobic fitness.”
What advice would you give to someone considering Ludus?
