Snap Fitness 24/7 Wellington CBD — Local services in North Island

TLDR There are no joint memberships and the gym is too small to be useful to anyone who's serious about fitness.

Don't get roped into a contract if someone offers to pay for your membership, if they stop paying, suddenly you'll owe money for a service you weren't even using.

You shouldn't be allowed to keep debiting someone especially if they aren't using the service.

In addition, while it looks new and futuristic a lot of the equipment is purchased from manufacturers who tend to over-engineer their equipment reducing the impact exercise has to benefit your daily routine.

Don't support these bad business practices. Go to CityFitness.

Edit: Since google does not moderate or have a minimum standard for professionalism of companies that use their platform I'll add a note here.

Misrepresentation of a contract is illegal under New Zealand law; the proof of misrepresentation lies in the fact that I did not provide my own payment method and I believed I was signing a waiver with information for system access, which is standard procedure for many gyms that know what they're doing.

Furthermore, constant monitoring of your social media reviews is indicative of artificial inflation of reviews meaning the business is not only untrustworthy but also manipulative as I was threatened with being reported to a debt collection agency when I tried to refute the claim that I owed any money.

After I reluctantly paid not wanting to jeopardize my VISA status, I then asked for a photo-copy of the contract over email and I was ignored.

Either take your bad review, or issue a refund and change your policy, it's...

Moved to Welly a few weeks ago and trialed a bunch of gyms in the area - Les Mills, City Fit, that one on Oriental. Then, on a whim, I tried out Snap CBD...

This gym is EXCELLENT and deserves more business. Why? There are numerous reasons. The obvious reasons include 24/7 access and good value for money. But here I list other reasons that might not be as obvious:

Staff are chill as: Toni, Callum, and the various trainers are great. It's a nice feeling to walk into a gym where the staff are welcoming, non-judgmental, and warm.

Equipment: For its size, this gym has a surprising variety of equipment which are all well maintained. Among other things, this includes a hip-thrust machine, one of those sprinting machines, and belt squat (!), and a powerlifting bar. I've seen much larger gyms with less variety.

Mirrors: Most people like to see the results of their training. Fortunately, Snap CBD has a ton of mirrors, some times at unusual locations. This means you will be able to see yourself from more angles than if you were inside a Lululemon dressing room.

GOAT lighting: The other day I got a pump and saw myself in the mirror here at Snap CBD. It was at an unusual angle (see point 3) so I was like "ay is this dude natty?" before realising that dude was ME. That's how you know the lighting is good (I am a lifetime natty I promise).

Other non-staff in gym are chill: I've been training here for a few weeks and everyone is courteous, friendly, and unobtrusive.

In sum:...

My partner and I were visiting family in Wellington for 8 days over Christmas and looking for a gym to keep up our routine. The owner was really helpful in talking us through the options, and set us up with a 1-week membership that meant we could visit all week, including when it was unstaffed on the holidays.

The gym is great! The space is big and clean, with a good variety of weights, machines, dumbbells and bars, different cardio machines, and a yoga/warm-up space. It also has powerful air con which is really important in summer! The owner and personal trainers were helpful when we had questions about the machines, and one showed me a new exercise while we were chatting.

It wasn't too crowded (might be different outside the summer holidays) and other members had good gym etiquette, were friendly, and there were even a few people in on Christmas Day. If we lived here we'd be regular members, we'll definitely be back in touch the next time we're...
