CityFitness Newmarket — Attraction in Waitematā

As I sit here sipping on a cold bottle, I can't help but reflect on how much I love this delicious brew and the amazing city of Pattaya where I first discovered it.

From the moment I arrived in Pattaya, I was struck by the vibrant culture and friendly locals. Everywhere I went, I was greeted with warm smiles and a sense of hospitality that is hard to find in other parts of the world. But what really caught my attention was the abundance of Chang beer on offer.

At first, I was a little hesitant to try Chang. I wasn't sure if I would like the taste, as I had never had a rice-based beer before. But as soon as I took my first sip, I knew I was in love. The smooth, refreshing flavor was unlike anything I had ever tasted before, and I found myself ordering round after round of Chang whenever I went out.

As I explored more of Pattaya and sampled the local cuisine, I discovered that Chang beer is the perfect companion to many of the delicious dishes that are popular in the region. Whether I was munching on spicy Thai curry or savoring a plate of fresh seafood, a cold Chang always seemed to make the experience that much more enjoyable.

But it's not just the taste of Chang that I love. There is also something special about the way it is enjoyed in Pattaya. Whether I was relaxing on the beach or partying the night away at one of the city's many bars and clubs, the atmosphere was always lively and festive. And of course, Chang beer played a big part in that.

In short, Chang beer and Pattaya are two of my favorite things in the world. Every time I return to this amazing city, I am reminded of why I fell in love with both of them in the first place. And as long as Chang is on tap and Pattaya is on the map, I know I will always have a place in my heart for...

"Terrible experience at the gym! I stored my belongings in a locker and had to pause my membership due to personal issues. When I came to collect my stuff and potentially reactivate my membership, I was told to fill out a form and wait for a call from head office which is understandable part of process as they could not activate from their system.

However, my belongings were missing from the locked locker. Staff informed me that they remove items from lockers after a while, even if locked, and suggested me she can check the lost and found. but i couldn’t not get anything This is inappropriate to removed from locker, especially there were many lockers were free still they removed. no matter person comes or not since I was still paying $14.41 week. I lost approximately $200 worth of gear, including Nike shoes and gym wear.

To make matters worse, I was waiting for a call from head office as i changed my mind after this incident to discuss not continuing my membership, but I never received any call. Despite this, I was auto-charged, which is unacceptable. The lack of communication and accountability is appalling. Lost trust in this gym due to poor service...

Today, I took my 14-year-old daughter to the Newmarket City Fitness. Shortly after we entered, a staff member approached us and said his manager had been watching us and sent him to ask how old my daughter was. I told him she was 14, and he said you have to be 16 or older to enter, then asked us to leave.

At that time, there were many other high school students in the gym, most of whom were not accompanied by their parents. Some of them were even my daughter’s classmates. The staff didn’t say anything to them, but only approached us—just because we are Asian.

Moreover, City Fitness’s official website clearly states that children aged 14 and over are allowed to enter under parental supervision. When I showed this to the staff member, he claimed I had said my daughter was 13. English is not my first language, but I have lived in New Zealand for over 20 years—I can clearly pronounce the difference between “thirteen” and “fourteen.”

Being asked to leave with my daughter, while others were allowed to stay, left me with only one conclusion: that this City Fitness staff member displayed serious racial...
