CityFitness Mt Wellington

I actually like this gym, for a few reasons:n- Clean. I don't know about men's change room, but women's one is always clean. Equipment looks clean too, and lost of sprays around for extra cleaning.n- Spacious. Reasonable space for every type of exercise. Of course, it's crowded during peak times, but never too bad.n- Instructors. I just come back for those group classes again and again, they are so much fun - and very effective too. Even if you are a beginner, you will have options to try. My happy place.nnNote: if your very first attempt was a Zumba class on Friday, please don't judge the whole gym by that one. I promise it's the only one off. All other instructors do explain moves, do have options for different levels and never laugh at you or point a finger at you. Just try another class and you will be fine!

Not busy during working hours, didn't have to wait to use machines, and used the sled push. Parking was easy to find. The changing room and bathroom area are enormous. They have a HITT room, cycling room, and group fitness room. The Hitt room is unlocked, so you can follow the screen and do the workouts in your own time.

Huge value for money gym. Parking was difficult but have never had a problem since they expanded the carpark recently. At 6:30pm it's 80-90% capacity and you will experience waiting and asking if people are finished. Unfortunately there are those who unashamedly use two equipment during these times, or chat away while you wait, or check their socials ‍

I travel a lot for work so have been to almost every City Fit in the country, this is the 2nd worst bathroom in NZ so far.nMen's showers always smell bad like someone has taken a dump in there. The toilets are in the same room but the smell is def coming from the showers and not the toilets. Maybe the drains need a clean out? No idea, but it's nasty asf.nThink they only get a cleaner on the weekend as it's the only time it actually smells like someone has used cleaning products or done any actual cleaning?nPretty yuck team.nThe rest of the gym is pretty standard City Fit, equipment isn't flash but it gets the job done. Staff are heaps friendly etc.nHeaps of parking which is awesome.

I have been a member of City Fitness since I moved to New Zealand and had to temporarily leave for a year due to my pregnancy. During my time there, I thoroughly enjoyed the experience—the trainers, staff, and other members were all wonderful. However, since 2023, I have noticed the gym has become quite overcrowded, especially during peak times, leading to parking issues. I often had to park in neighboring business spaces, which became quite inconvenient. Additionally, many of the machines have been under repair, and it’s often difficult to find an available machine since some members tend to occupy them for long periods while spending time on their mobiles. As a result, I decided to leave City Fitness. That said, if these issues are addressed, I would be happy to rejoin and continue my fitness journey there.
