Originally Patience Studio, this boutique studio in Winton, Southland underwent a renovation in early 2016. Operating Les Mills Group Fitness successfully, they felt there was a requirement to provide a gym membership option. After several discussions with Nathan at Life Fitness NZ, they launched a new gym studio with Life Fitness Cardio, Cable Machine and free-weights with great success. After a change of hands in recent times, a continuation to add additional key pieces to serve the local market, and a name change to Carve Fitness, this club continues to go from strength to strength.
