WHAT IS METCON?
MetCon is OC Health Clubs' coach-led metabolic conditioning programme in Queenstown. Using structured high-intensity intervals and functional movements, every session is designed to improve cardiovascular fitness, endurance, and your body's ability to produce and use energy more efficiently.
People often search for a gym in Queenstown because they want to improve their fitness, build stamina, and feel healthier. MetCon is built around those same goals, but instead of simply providing access to equipment, every session includes expert coaching, structured programming, and personalised guidance to help you work hard with purpose
Every session is coached from start to finish, so you're never left guessing your pace or what comes next. The structure allows you to focus on effort while building lasting fitness, resilience, and confidence.
Every interval is programmed with purpose. You'll work hard, recover strategically, and build cardiovascular fitness and endurance without burning yourself out.
Train with kettlebells, rowers, sleds, boxes, and bodyweight movements. The variety keeps every session engaging while developing real-world fitness.
Every MetCon session challenges the entire body. Build cardiovascular fitness, muscular endurance, coordination, and resilience through functional movement patterns.
Whether you're new to high-intensity training or already well-conditioned, every workout can be adjusted to match your current fitness and help you progress safely.
Your coach guides every interval, manages pacing, and provides technique cues throughout the session. You focus on the effort while we make sure you're moving well.
MetCon develops more than physical fitness. As your cardiovascular fitness and endurance improve, so does your confidence to handle challenging moments, both inside and outside the club.
HOW A SESSION WORKS
Every session begins with a targeted warm-up to prepare your cardiovascular system, activate key muscles, and get your body ready for high-intensity movement.
Before the workout begins, your coach explains the movements, intervals, transitions, and scaling options. You'll know exactly what to expect and how to approach the session with confidence.
The main workout is built around structured conditioning intervals using functional movements and a variety of equipment. Your coach guides pace, technique, and intensity throughout, helping you improve cardiovascular fitness while maintaining movement quality.
Finish with a structured recovery phase to gradually lower your heart rate, support recovery, and prepare your body for your next training session.
HOW A SESSION WORKS
A targeted warm-up to prime your cardiovascular system and prepare your joints for high-intensity movement. Specific to what's coming.
Your coach walks through the session, movements, intervals, transitions, and scaling options. You know exactly what's coming before it starts.
The main work-structured intervals across multiple rounds or time domains. Your coach manages pace and effort throughout, keeping the session purposeful from first rep to last.
A structured wind-down to bring your heart rate down intentionally and begin recovery.
Rich
"I really needed someone to show me what I was doing. Going to somewhere like the OC where I could get that one-on-one support, be part of a group training at the same time. I get much more from the experience, much happier, much more confident."
Juliet
"If there's stuff that you don't like about yourself, go change it. Everyone's amazing, everyone's positive and lifting each other up. That's a very special place to be when so many places aren't like that in life."
Danny
"This is what grounds me. I get up in the morning, come to OC, do my thing, everybody's here. I've started my day with a win and the rest of the day I feel great."
Yes, intensity is always relative. Your coach will scale the load and pace to your current fitness level, so the session is challenging for you specifically, not just challenging in absolute terms. Many of our members started METCON with little to no conditioning background.
METCON (metabolic conditioning) is a broader category that focuses on improving your body's energy systems through varied, functional movements and equipment. HIIT typically refers to shorter, more repetitive cardio-based intervals. METCON sessions tend to include more movement variety and are programmed around energy system development specifically.
Two to three sessions per week works well for most members. Because of the intensity, recovery between sessions matters, your coach will help you build a schedule that balances METCON with your other training and allows proper recovery.
Getting started begins with a free consultation, a no-pressure conversation about your goals, your history, and what's worked or hasn't before. From there, we build your personalised plan across training, nutrition, and sleep, complete a baseline assessment, and get you into your first session. No guesswork, no figuring it out alone.
Yes, and you're exactly who OC was built for. Our coaches adapt every session to where you are right now, not where you think you should be. Whether you're returning after years away or starting from scratch, you'll receive the same personalised attention and coaching as every other member.
At a regular gym, you pay a fee to hire equipment, then you're on your own. At OC Health Clubs, every session is coach-led. Your trainer knows your goals, your injuries, and your history. Your programme is built around you, your progress is tracked every six weeks, and if you don't show up, we check in. That's why our attendance rate is 92%, compared to an industry average of around 30%.
Absolutely. Tell us about your injuries during your initial consultation and we'll build your programme around them. Our coaches are experienced in working with members managing back issues, knee problems, shoulder injuries, and chronic pain. Adapting movements in real time so you can train safely and make progress without setbacks.
OC offers two pathways: a Group Classes membership with unlimited coached sessions per week, and a Personal Training membership with up to three personalised sessions per week. Both begin with a 28-day programme designed to build your foundation. Pricing is discussed during your free consultation so we can recommend the right option for your goals and schedule.
We run 60+ sessions every week at our Queenstown facility, from 5:45am through to 7:30pm. Early enough for before-work training, flexible enough to fit around most schedules. Most members train three times per week. Your coach will help you find a routine that works for your lifestyle.
Yes. We'll assess where you're at and guide you toward whichever option suits your goals and schedule best, and that can change over time as your needs evolve.
