CityFitness Kelvin Grove — Local services in Palmerston North

I have a black (premium) membership, so I'll give a comparison between this and the Pitt st. franchise.

Kelvin Grove:

Advantages: Spacious. Good for Claustrophobes. Basically, an open area with no dividing walls or corners. Generally cleaner around the gym area. More Cardio and dip & pull up machines/bars. Newer equipment.

Disadvantages: Shower not as clean and luxurious as Pitt st. More intimidating for Introverts since it's an open and some stations/machines are facing each other, especially if you're doing free weight.

But , more privacy when you're doing machines (except lat pull down and other cable machines).

SUPER crowded until 12 am.

Pitt St: Advantages: Better for shy people or introverts. Many corners and some hidden spots. Located in the city center. Shower area (male) has a luxury feeling. Tends to be less hectic close to late night

Disadvantages: Not that spacious. Old equipment Don't feel clean except the toilet and shower Feels like less...

This place is a circus in terms of peoples gym etiquette. In a single gym session I saw the following:

-Out of the 6 people who used the deadlift platform, only one person used them for an exercise where the weights touched the ground. Despite all 4 of the half racks being free for peoples overhead presses and rows. -A guy wore skin leggings and no shorts. No one wants to see that. -Guys wearing lifting belts to do 8kg dumbbell curls -Clips on the Smith machine -A guy squating 140kgs by using his back as a crane (cranes are strong after all) -One guy did a 15 minute yoga session warm up on the deadlift platform only to then use the platform to do 60kg squats -Some guy wearing calf skins for a chest and arms day.

5/7 would...

Very unreliable customer service. Submitted membership cancelation form. Rang and checked with staff who confirmed they received application form and will start cancelation process. Noticed after 10 months, deduction was still being made to their account. Called and they lied that they got no forms. No one taken responsibility of my deductions. Don't know who filled their pockets with that deductions. They said Manager will call but till today no one has been in touch. Everytime you call, they make excuse. Please, I'm making a request to people to monitor their deductions Please. Very unreliable people. I don't recommend this gym to anyone. They are Thiefs....no doubt about this. Talking...
