If I loved gyms, I might take a serious look at Club Physical…read more Why wouldn't I because the sign on the main road says "first month free, no joining fee". How good is that! If I loved gyms there is so much to take advantage of at this Club Physical. I'd be assessed by a personal trainer on day 1, weighed (eek) and taken through the gym routine. They've got a circuit of machines, separate weight room for the ladies (great) and loads of classes to take advantage of. If I loved any of these classes I could really take advantage of things like step classes, flex weight class, boxing, spin, pilates, yoga, abs (exhausting just looking at the list, I feel the kilos sliding off me already). But what can I do, I love tennis! I'd still recommend this gym because they offer so much for the membership.

Snap Fitness is a gym that recently opened in the new shopping complex by New World in Mt Roskill…read more Being a new gym, it was still in the process of being able to offer a full range of equipment and services. But I popped in anyway just to check it out and spoke to a young trainer that works there. Apparently Snap Fitness is currently working on getting classes up and running, as well as perfecting the layout of their gym. At $14 a week, it's a reasonably priced gym, though all this being said I admit I have no huge desire to change to Snap Fitness. The gym itself is relatively small and currently only offers a few of each cardio machine (treadmill, cross-trainer and cycle machine), and all the equipment felt quite squished together and unappealing. But maybe that's just me. On the plus side there is no other gym in this area, so Snap Fitness was needed. It's an un-intimidating place that will cater well to the local community. Bonus: This gym is open to members 24 hours a day!

This gym is mainly targetted for general fitness goers or people who don't take fitness that…read moreseriously. From the staff who works there self quoted: 'this is a gym is mainly for general fitness'. This gym has most of all the basic gym equipment needs but if you actually want to train for results avoid ths gym as much as possible. 1. This gym does not tolerate grunters. In my opinion, generally people who get annoyed of grunters are the same lazy people who actually don't workout hard enough and hate on those who actually do out of jeolousy and moan to the management how the grunters are disrupting their silent reading of game of thrones while having an epic 5km/hr walk on the treadmill. Go to the library if you want to workout in silence with your stupid book. 2. Lack of heavy plates. If you want to deadlift and squat heavy, try another gym. They don't have enough heavy plates for one to progress effectively with their lifts. Also they don't like you let the weights to drop on their precious floor from heavy deadlifting. You dropped the weight after a heavy PR set?!, the snap fitness police on their high horse will be coming at you with sirens on giving you a good lecturer how you shouldn't need to lift so much weight and to let the weight down in a controlled manner lol. In conclusion. I would not call this place a gym as that would be misleading. It is a general fitness centre just one step up from the mcdonalds kids playground. It would be a big SNAP in the face to the true fitness community by reconising this place as a gym, it is not a real gym. If you are a soccer mum or someone who wants to workout at a gym instead of at your local school kids monkey bar playground then this gym is for you. Not recommended for serious gym goers bodybuilders or powerlifters who actually want to make good gains and see good progressive results! Don't believe me? Go join this 24hr adult play house for a month and come back put up an honest review like I have.

Absolutely perfect setup! From the weights area, tennis courts to the pool…read more The staff are always very helpful and friendly. The cleanliness and support are second to none. Thanks heaps for everything you do.

This place is my personal sanctuary. I don't think I've ever looked forward to working out so much,…read morethan I do now that I have started my membership at 151. 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?

I enjoyed going to a Kettlebells class here. The facilities are nice. I can only speak for women's…read morebathroom. There are three showers and also hairdryers and curling wand. 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.

From the owner: SALA is located in the heart of Ponsonby in a refurbished factory, the perfect home for the gym…read morethat combines fitness and design. SALA is more than just sweating, it was born from our desire to create impactful experiences, community and healthy habits. We believe working out should never feel like a chore, thats why we designed a gym with a diverse timetable and contract free-drop in classes taught by expert trainers. We have over 30 classes a week to choose from, so we can be as flexible as you are.

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.

This is the coolest Auckland gym in my opinion. It is a stylish hangout for gym junkies and they…read morehave the best showers rooms at 8 Nugent. BodyTech is all about personalized one-on-one training. When you sign up here you can rest assured that you'll get lots of attention and motivation from the team of personal trainers who you come to know as friends. Monique is the co-owner and she listens to what you've got to say, the good and the constructive. They have lots of classes as well and things you can take advantage of like a Fat2Muscle programme if you are interested in losing weight while you work out. Loads of people take advantage of this, for one Wendyl Nissen who talks about it in her newsletters and blogs.

Very clean and professional gym. Really appreciate that the locker rooms have shampoo and soap…read moreprovided in the showers as well as hair dryers and electronic lockers. Really nice to not have to deal with providing your own lock. The real unique point of Bodytech is the well-staffed floor and the supervised circuit workout. This is part of membership and is like getting free mini-personal training sessions. When you factor in those features it is reasonably priced and good value for money. I have been a member for 6 years, I think that says it all, right?

We come to these pools at least once a week, and I probably wouldn't bother going anywhere else…read more It's clean, the changing rooms are nice enough (and there's plenty of hair dryers). I do find the changing room exhibitionists rather intriguing though... There's a huge spa, with an adults section and a kids section. Also a huge lane pool, and a kids pool. Tips: there's a cafe near the spas, and my best tip is for parking - you can get your parking ticket from the Davis Cres carpark validated for cheaper parking (approx half price).

This pool is amazing!! Really!!! I certainly took the pool for granted when I lived in Auckland!…read more I am from New York, but lived in Auckland for two years while getting my Masters degree. In those two years I adopted swimming as my preferred fitness activity. I went to the pool whenever I was stressed or sad or bored, and within minutes of entering the pool, I was as happy as I could ever be. This pool has soooo many things you can't find in New York: - As a student, it only cost me $5 or so to pop by for a swim. Almost every pool (aside from the dingy pools) in New York require membership just to be able to walk into the facility. And even the dingy pools require membership outside of Summer. - It's a 50 meter pool. You would be surprised how rare that is. - It has a kiddie pool, hot tub, jacuzzi, steam room, TWO saunas, a cafe, a gym, fitness classes, SCUBA CLASSES (!!!) an incredible locker room with curtains AND hot water.... really just incredible facilities. Nothing in New York comes close to that. Not even remotely. - The price is absolutely insane. Again, I only paid $5 to swim, and they don't force you to get a membership or anything. The only establishment that I've been to that comes close to this pool is Chelsea Piers in Manhattan. But a day pass is $50 USD (So maybe $60 NZD.... just for the day). Yearly membership for the pool alone is over $600. I would do anything to be able to go back to this pool. Count your lucky stars, Aucklanders!!!! ;)

I have been going to City Fitness the last 2 years and absolutely love it! What I found so…read moreappealing about City Fitness in Newmarket is a) its close to me, b) they have great parking facilities and c) they have a large range of classes that are included in your membership fee. I found with quite a few other gyms they would charge you extra to go to their spin class. At City Fitness all you need to go is book a bike to make sure you don't miss out. At City Fitness they have a large range of cardio machines, free weights, machines and also a women's separate section. I find myself spending a lot of time in this section purely because a) the men dominate the weights section and b) it can be incredibly intimidating doing weights in front of the men. They have a lot of personal trainers walking around offering assistance to those who need while they're waiting to talk their private sessions. They also sell a lot of work out supplements and more often than not have some great deals. If youre looking for a gym with a fun environment I would recommend coming to check out City Fitness.

As far as facilities and range of machines, Thorndon gym is great during the quieter hours of the…read moreday during the week or weekends other than that its packed with too many teenagers hogging machines or wasting time on machines while on their phones. If a simplicity gym would be opened in the city I would go there instead. Even if this branch made it adults only it would greatly improve customer experience and heavy lifters experience too.
