Great Gym. Plenty of squat racks and the deadicated deadlift platform and prowler area is a huge help. Also the individual showers are brilliant. Have been going for more than a year and I honestly would rate this 5 stars for each and everyday of the past year. It has one of the most well thought layouts and you can tell the manager has a passion for strength and fitness. Its the little details like not having squat racks in front of a mirror so you focus on feeling the movement rather than looking at urself that makes this gym stand out from the rest.
However I usually go in the morning at 5 30 - 6 am and as soon as you walk up to level 2 it seems as if a group of orangutans were let loose there. Its is really untidy especially on mondays. people leave barbells with 140kgs in them. The prowler has 6 plates loaded unto it the floor is littered with weight plates like some sort of minefield. It ruins the entire mood to be fair. No one bothers putting their mats back and how tired do you have to be that you can not out a 4kg kettlebell back in the shelf.
My old gym (BTS in Mt Eden) was shabby with rusted barbells and old equipment and cracked cement floor but it was never untidy and everyone who went there put their weights back. Made such a difference.
The only acceptable reason for not tidying up after urself is that you were taken to the hospital in a stretcher. Otherwise if you walked out the gym you can put your...
Read moreGenuinely one of the best gyms in the CBD area, albeit leaning more on the expensive side. The staff are incredibly supportive, friendly, and charismatic which elevates the experience and truly feels a lot more welcoming than most gyms in the area. They are also passionate for the positive growth and development of not only your physique but your overall lifestyle.
A huge problem with most gyms is how packed it usually gets during peak hours however that is not the case for this gym.
Minor complaints: The wifi range not reaching to the second floor area.
Sometimes the wipes get used up and aren't restocked quickly enough. This makes some equipments become a bit sticky because people have no way of cleaning them off.
The drinking water fountains are too slow and the stream of water from the bubbler is too short that your face ends up touching it which is disgusting and should be changed.
Overall: It is still a relatively amazing gym and I recommended it to most...
Read moreEverything you need and more whether you're working on endurance, cardio, general fitness, strength training/bodybuilding. Heaps of space! Have to see it to believe it, can't believe it's in the city!
Group fitness classes are massively popular with the ladies which is nice to know my partner can join in as she finds them more fun than the standard workout I do - added bonus is you don't have to pay massive membership rates to get access to, in fact it's free of cost to participate as membership costs cover this.
Convenient if you work in the city and obviously 24/7 operated so when you go it's on your terms.
Staff are polite, welcoming, and were able to advise me with some general fitness questions I had - very cool, down to earth dudes - Alvin and Jackson were awesome to deal with!
Especially loved the large number of bathrooms and the atmosphere of it all - felt like a mega gym in the U.S or Dubai as it spans over two levels of a commercial...
