Who We Are

Equipment, experience and a connection to the gym floor. Supplying New Zealand since 2009.

Auckland based. Nationwide reach.

It started on
the gym floor.

Solid Strength grew out of CrossFit Birkenhead and one simple need: equipment that stands up to daily training.

Founder Paul Davies owns CrossFit Birkenhead, the third CrossFit affiliate in New Zealand. Solid Strength has supplied gyms, clubs, schools and home training spaces across New Zealand since 2009. Today the range includes Goliath racks, rigs and benches.

Our connection to CrossFit Birkenhead gives us hands-on experience of equipment in a working gym. Testing and feedback from the gym floor help shape the range and the advice we give.

Whether you need one barbell or a complete fit-out, we will help you choose equipment for your space and the way you train.

From one rack
to a full floor.

From a single garage rack to a full commercial floor, we plan the layout and supply the equipment, with installation available in Auckland.

Today the range covers Goliath racks, rigs and benches, barbells, plates, dumbbells, conditioning equipment and flooring, all shipped from our warehouse in Birkdale on Auckland’s North Shore.

Solid Strength Equipment supplies equipment for commercial gyms/fitness centres, Personal Trainers, Olympic and Power Lifting Clubs, home/garage gyms etc. It is owned and managed by Paul Davies who started CrossFit Birkenhead in Auckland, New Zealand in 2009. Paul has over 15 years experience in the fitness industry and over 10 years experience importing gym equipment for commercial and home/garage gyms. 

We have been supplying affiliates since 2009 and are NZ's first gym equipment supplier to exclusively import equipment to supply to affiliates. We have supplied equipment to dozens of affiliates and our equipment is constantly evolving and improving to meet the high standard of quality demanded by our customers. 

All our equipment has been tried and tested at CrossFit Birkenhead since 2009 (most of which is still here going strong!) so you can be sure it's built to take whatever you throw at it. We can supply everything you need for a garage gym set up or for a commercial affiliate (wholesale prices can be supplied on request).

We also have a small range of equipment that is made right here in NZ!
