Urban Fitness — Local services in North Island

It's been over 5 years now since I joined this gym and have never considered any other gym. Having a physio background myself and at the time of trial I had a shoulder injury, so I was very sceptic to join CrossFit gym as I have never done functional fitness before and I felt very unfit. But you don't need to be fit to join, you get fit and strong here. And this is not a typical CrossFit gym, variety of classes can get you fit, compliment not only Crossfit, but other sports as well. The guidance and support of amazing coaches, camaraderie from the community is amazing. I have gone from not being able to hang of the pull up bar due to shoulder pain and feeling puffed from 5 burpees to becoming fittest and strongest I have ever been in my life so far.. Mike and Roo has build a very strong community that supports each others journey in and outside of the gym. This community had been my saving grace during pandemic, safe haven during pregnancy and post-partum blues. I am very thankful for my Urban Fitness tribe! Coffee catch ups on Saturdays with the crew after sweaty session is a highlight of my week. If you have read it so far - try it and Training for life can become your...

The workouts are hard but rewarding, the coaches are attentive and super knowledgeable (bonus is that they are easy on the eye as well 😂), the Urbanites are all super friendly, encouraging and fun to work out with and there are no mirrors or the selfie brigade! If you’re fed up with your current training come give Urban a try - six...

I was visiting from California and looking for a place to work-out in Wellington. I stumbled upon Urban Fitness and found it to be a welcoming environment with good schedule options for a traveler. There are the scheduled work-outs as well as open gym times, and the latter was especially helpful for a travel schedule. As it was raining, I extra-appreciated having a friendly, well-maintained place to go during my time in Wellington. Thank you Urban Fitness for making my work-outs in Wellington possible, which of course made my trip so much better! Location bonuses: They share a street with Good For (natural bulk foods store) and Moore Wilson (a specialty grocery store), and I noticed a...
