CityFitness Thorndon — Attraction in North Island

It's very clean. The staff is polite. Group classes are fun. I would give 5 stars if there was more parking (thx WCC). Otherwise, it's great. update there are 3 cleverly marked street parking spaces across the street. I use the PayMyPark app so I do not ever use the parking kiosk. I went to a early morning class. Came out to my car and a meter maid was standing beside it. I was confused and asked if I had done something wrong. He became rude and raised his voice telling me that I was parked in a bus lane and he was towing me!!! I looked at my space and told him I was still confused as there is no signage saying it is a bus lane. He raised his voice telling me to come to the parking kiosk. He clicked on the kiosk and the screen said that they space was a bus lane during 6:30am-9:30am! I explained that i use the app and have no reason to look at the kiosk. He said doesn't matter mate..you're being towed. I quickly got in my car and left and went to work. The ticket on my wind screen was for $180 !!!!!!!!!! I know that this has nothing to do with city fitness (they are still amazing), but i want to bring awareness. To this nonsense and hope thay hope that no one else gets caught in the entrapment. *lots of luv ❤️ to...

City Fitness Thorndon became a 5 star gym when I found my personal trainer Alen Moshi. I went to the gym regularly, but last year I hurt my knee pretty severely playing sports. I went through ACC and met with a physio but I was frustrated and felt I wasn't really getting better. As a last resort I went into CF and asked if they had anyone that was good with rehab type injuries and the front desk recommended Alen. I know it sounds exaggerated but really my life has changed and I can't thank him enough. I am so much stronger than I have ever been (now at 44), and you know, it's that feeling that is so great. Having a personal trainer does cost, but I have never regretted it and I've worked it out to fit what I can do. If you are thinking about going for it - finding the right gym and getting a PT I would highly recommend...

This gym is abit of a hit AND miss. Featuring a greater range of machines than other gyms, some very good for specific hypertrophy and strength developments, changing rooms are spacious and it never feels/smells stuffy, but, the gym itself is very worn and much of the upper floor is bashed in due to deadlifts, dumbbells etc and has become uneven/broken in. This gym doesn't have a very good stretching/open warm up area so whens its busy.. good luck. These points arnt truly detrimental to the atmosphere but the almost anti-social personalities of some of the staff are the biggest down fall, when coming to the gym its nice to simply be greeted with a smile and hello to acknowledge my presence rather than blank stares or diversion of eyes, or when I myself say hello it'd be lovely to hear a response! it gives off...
