Much more intimate and hands on service rather than the bigger much more non personal gyms out there. If you're looking for a gym where the trainers and gym bunnies working there, treat you as an equal here is your number one choice ladies. Great brand machinery, and an adjoining room out the back for aerobics, yoga, Zumba, Pilates, kick boxing, you name it, there's a class. Get in and give it a try. You will either love it or not. But it was a thrill to work out here and the ladies who train here are a fun and chatty bunch too.

The gym seems to have changed and most of the Thais have moved on. There isn't as much attention paid to each individual (a few participants - usually women- might get some advice) anymore, most classes feel very formulaic and repetitive, and trainers will often spend time on their phone, on the bag or chatting. I think they need more focus on attention to clients, building technique and diversifying the classes.

The gym environment is casual but professional something you would expect from a gym. When you first join up you are given a tour of the place then membership deals. What I love are the different deals and rates they have for students plus I found out that after a week if you don't think the gym is for you then you can leave without being locked in some crazy contract. There is nothing as daunting as getting out of gym contracts. My only with city fitness is even after I had left the gym I still received emails from the database about how they hoped I was enjoying the gym along with fitness tips. The tips are alright but it's good to check a person's membership status before sending out the email.

This boxing gym is designed with both female & male clients in mind, who take fitness seriously…read more There are a few personal trainers to book 1-1 sessions with - depending on what your goals are. I personally want to tone: boxing is ideal for cardio, upper body strength and core. I go in looking glam, leave feeling exhausted & drenched in perspiration. Amazing what an intensive 30 minute session can achieve! There is a boxing ring, boxing bags, rowing machine, bikes, gym equipment, Dumbbells and everything you need to get fit. Exercise not only makes you feel good (by releasing endorphins), it's great for your well being (reducing stress) & general health. Prices from $45-$80 per 30/60 minutes. Located at the end of Minnie Street, parking available outside the gym.

Looking…read moreforward to getting another solid workout in next time. bring your own lock, these aren't combo lockers, got a great month deal as I was here in NZ for a month. Suggestion box: Wish there were more mirrors in the group areas and I can't recall which les mills had carpet, Britomart I think, it would be nice if it was...the opposite of carpet. Not sure where all my sweat went or how long it will be there... Also, it's hard to feel like your in an elite fitness club when the walls are trying to convince you you're in a kids club day care. I mean cmon- purple and chartreuse? Hopefully in the near future it'll be replaced with maybe some modern desaturated wall tile or something...well anything accept those two colors together I think would be an improvement. Great gym tho.

If you are a group fitness junkie, there's a good chance you've taken BodyPump, Body Combat, Body…read moreAttack, RPM, Sprint, GRIT, and CX Worx. Well, this is where it all started back in 1968 by the Mills family. If you are a Les Mills instructor like me, this is Mecca and it's a big deal to come here. Jamie D'Angelo is one of the managers at this gym who moved to NZ from the US. She gave us a tour of the facility. They have 2 floors and several buildings or towers connected by a bridge. They have a CrossFit area, free weights and machine area, cardio area, boxing area with a ring, and group fitness studios. They film masterclasses in the group fitness studios. The studios are huge and can fit up to 200 people. While in NZ, I took BodyPump, CX, and Body Attack from Dan Cohen, Georgina, Glen Ostergaard, and Susan Renata. I wanted to classes from Ben Main and Lisa Osborne but they were off. I would've loved to take Dan and Rach's Body Combat class but my flight was only 2 hours before their class started and I would have missed my flight. I know most people are like "who are those people and why are they a big deal?!" I'm not usually a big fan girl of actors and actresses but I love athletes, and people who promote Health and Fitness around the world - and that's what these people do and they are good and passionate about it. I'm a bit partial to BodyPump instructors because that's the class I teach (more certifications to come). I absolutely love taking Glen's class - he's the program director after all. He's the man behind the song selections and choreography for BodyPump. I loved Susan's class too - she's very chatty while she teaches and she connects with her participants. Jamie had told her that we were going to her class. Right before class started, we introduced ourselves to Susan and she knew we were "the girls from Vegas" and got a special mention in class. We noticed that the gym members keep to themselves. They go in, they go out. They're not the type that stick around after class to chat with the Instructor or other members like we do at our gym but that might be a cultural thing. The group fitness studios have ear plugs (for people who find the music too loud), drinking fountains and fans with misters. The gym has a small cafe where you can get a snack or a smoothie. There's a vending machine for bottled water and energy drinks. They also have a clothing store that carries mostly Reebok (the official outfitter of Les Mills) and a lady named Mary works there and she is an absolute sweetheart. She's very helpful and friendly. I think you have to pay for parking - not sure how that bit works since we stayed at a hotel nearby and got a multi-day pass.

The lockers already have keys so you just need to bring it into the studio with you. I suggest bringing your own towel (for shower) otherwise it costs $2 to hire. I'm a fan and will probably try to come to more classes. I think the only thing I would have liked is if our form was checked/corrected. I honestly based my movements on what others in the class were doing vs what was actually best for the workout. Some people were bending knees, some people weren't. So I'm not sure what was actually the best form.

My friend and I have coined an affectionate term for Ludus Magnus - Ludicrous Madness. This gives…read moreyou some idea of how we feel about this. I just don't even know where to start. I chose the 'gym' category, but it really is like nothing else - it's so so much better than a gym. Since I was about 15 I have been a massive exercise fan, and I'm always looking for something new to try out. A guy at my work had been going to Ludus Magnus for months and he is in very good nick so when a deal came up for 30 days, I jumped at the chance. I turned up to small but well equipped room that admittedly smelled of sweat and had the vibe that something very serious was about to happen. A very buff guy writes that days circuit on the big blackboard and basically you just do as many rotations of the circuit in the 45 minutes as you can. I love this way of exercising - you get the fun group vibes that act as a powerful motivation, but everyone is so focused on their own workout that no one is watching you. The music pumps, the guys yell encouragement and everyone has an awesome time. Seriously, it is really hard, but it is the best form of exercise I've ever done. The next day i felt muscles I never even knew I had, and the workout is completely different everyday. I would way rather go nuts here for 45 minutes than stroll around a gym slightly bored for 2 hours. If you're looking to spice up your routine i cannot recommend this enough.

With every other gym I would rock on up for two weeks then get so bored of the same old routine then I would find myself stuck in a contract that I can't get out of for another 6 months. So when my workmate told me about ludus magnus I was excited. I have only been there for one session but I am looking to buy a concession pack for 12 sessions.The 12 pack expires after 3 months so it means I can go in my own time and once the sessions are finished it is up to me to buy another pack. The fact that the first session is free means that you get to try it out and if it isn't for you, you can walk away.

It's a calm oasis in there, with the most amazing air con and facilities you have seen in a gym. In fact I think gym is too much of a dirty word to associate with this pristine place. Because they keep a cap on membership, there is never a line for the equipment, the instructors are always on hand to dole out helpful advice and they even email to check up on you when you haven't been in for a few days. The facilities available to all members and casual members include a swimming pool, sauna room,a tennis court and a great range of weights/ exercise bikes and heaps of other exercise equipment. There are classes available too, a favourite of mine being tennis fit! And don't even get my started on the bathrooms, and the straighteners available, the shampoo/ conditioner\ bathrobes. They really have thought of everything. Why just the other day I got offered a free hour long facial and massage just for being a member. Have I tempted you yet?
