W Performance is a Pasifika-owned functional fitness gym based in Papatoetoe, South Auckland. We specialise in group training and personal coaching, offering a variety of classes that include strength and conditioning, functional training, Olympic lifting fundamentals, and more. Our aim is simple: to help you rebuild your strength, restore your confidence, and renew your lifestyle.

Our journey began in 2018, founded by Peneueta “Wetta” Nuulalita after overcoming open-heart surgery; a life-changing moment that sparked his passion to pursue fitness coaching. From humble beginnings with just 2–3 clients training out of a garage in Mangere, word spread quickly. Classes grew, programs expanded, and what started at home evolved into a thriving community. With support from local gyms like Xcel Fitness and Mangere and The Gym New Lynn, W Performance reached more people across Auckland before finally bringing it all back home to South Auckland. Today, alongside his wife Flora, Wetta proudly runs W Performance in its very own facility, built for the community that made it possible.

At W Performance, we believe fitness is for everyone. Our culture is one of inclusivity and belonging where you can come as you are, move at your own pace, and grow on your own journey. We celebrate progress, not perfection, and we rise together as a family.

But we are more than just a gym. We are dedicated to teaching sustainable healthy behaviours through functional training, nutrition education, and community connection. Our values are rooted in Pasifika culture: respect, family, and service and they guide everything we do.

For us, Behind the Dub’s = Win’s. Every win, big or small, is worth celebrating because every win means we are stronger, healthier, and more confident. Every win pushes not only us, but also our families and communities too.
W Performance is more than a gym it’s a movement for change, growth, and healthier futures real people real journeys.
