CityFitness Porirua

Positive experience: Not the greatest CityFitness I've been to. While the facilities and availability are generally adequate, the lack of air circulation and ventilation is horrendous. Please consider installing sufficient AC or relocate to a more effective building. Staff are nice.

Fantastic experience: Great coaches

Positive experience: It's a wonderful gym, if you're looking for a great place that isn't too judgemental. There aren't many mirrors or exposed areas like other gyms; to show off their many members, working tirelessly towards their body goals. CityFitness is less intimidating and is generous, accepting all types of members. Young-ish and old. The staff are great, looking after the exercise machines and keeping things stocked. There are changing rooms with lockers, showers, vending machines with protein shakes and exercise machines or exercise equipment that specifically target the different areas in the body. Remember to bring a towel with you, so your sweat marks won't offend the other gym users. Do you want to watch TV while you're working out? That's possible, at CityFitness

Fantastic experience: Good range of available equipment and it's never as full as Newlands, which is a great facility but very overcrowded

Positive experience: C'est it's one of the worst City Fitness I've been to, the room is ok but the problem is the shower, there's no hot water

Negative experience: Glad I came to the comments. I made a quick little visit and noticed it was a little paru and run down. Reading the comments, I'm glad I'm not the only 1 who thinks so. New to Porirua, looking for a gym that has good gear, clean and great staff. This might not be the 1 for me given the feedback.

Fantastic experience: Love it amazing positive environment my teen has a membership aswell and loves it so many options and different classes and the staff are super friendly and willing to help in any way

Fantastic experience: Good gym nice and cheap 5 stars but if they had boxing bags it would be a 7 star gym, would recommending going there

Fantastic experience: Lots of space. Nice service. Just no parking. New World parking next to the gym has 90min free - watch over with cams.

Fantastic experience: It helps with health issues and well beings. Keeps most out of hospital.

Fantastic experience: I go 5 to 6 days a week and love it.

Negative experience: Iam writing this with heavy heart after being seriously insulted by one of the staff member at CityFitness PORIRUA. My friend has 4 years son and she was using gym at staff hours Staff hours board at reception says …staff available till 9pm Monday to Friday. Every day my friend need to wait for 20 mins during staff hr (5:15PM,6:15PM and 7pm) just to get her IN as staff are not around all the time, that are hiding bell as well during this time. My friend kindly requested one staff who appeared after 20min very kindly and trying to explain her situation leaving her 4 years son at friends place just to use gym for MENTAL and PHYSICAL health. It’s really heart breaking for me the way staff member behave. Very rudely saying it’s not staff hr(7pm) we have to go and she walk away without an eye contact while we still standing. Iam writing this so that CityFitness Porirua will take care this type of rude behaviour will not happen to another customer. NOTE : This happen only today with only one staff member

Positive experience: Great Abundance team

Fantastic experience: Excellent facilities and service as always

Fantastic experience: Great gim... Crowded on a Monday

Fantastic experience: Pretty much my second home haha love this place

Fantastic experience: It has the best Zumba class among all city fitness.

Fantastic experience: Amazing facilities and great staff. Looking forward to signing up!!

Fantastic experience: Being able to share my fitness journey with my 14 year old son is a big highlight for me. Friday nights are great being able to utilize the group fitness space

Fantastic experience: Only been going here for a couple of days...the facility is kept clean to a very high standard and has plenty of equipment to go around so no waiting...at least in the early mornings.

Positive experience: Decent gym, has all the equipment you'll need. On hot days the air conditioning just isn't powerful enough so some days you'll break a sweat just getting changed.

Negative experience: Not child friendly. My husband and I went to the gym and they told us children are not allowed however signages says, “everybody welcome”. Our son is 7 yrs old and knows how to behave and was so quite. Our other previous gyms are allowing children to stay on the chair. We are cutting off our subscription.

Fantastic experience: Big spacious gym with plenty of good equipment and friendly staff. They offer lots of classes in pilates, zoomba and cycling. Upstairs, there is a yoga studio with a wide variety that you can use if you're a premium member. The yoga instructors are very good and popular, so you'll need to book the day before.

Negative experience: Workers are usually very nice and welcoming. During my visit I was approached by a worker while I was taking a break on my phone on the machine like many other do, when you might be feeling a bit overwhelmed or tired. He touches my shoulder and asked how many sets I was doing. Bit startled I say one. (Before this I had already done 2-3 sets already, I also was not rude land was more than happy to give them the machine) He continues to say “Well you’ve been on your phone the whole time and we wanted to use it” * in a condescending tone like what i was doing was wrong* I am now so embarrassed because he has two boys watching this situation. There was also another machine open in front of me that the only difference between the machines was the other one was elevated. I would like to say the only problem I had was when he made the comment about me on my phone. I pay to be here and if I want to take a break because I feel a bit overwhelmed I will. I felt like he was trying to make me into an example. And do not touch people to get their attention, not everyone is comfortable with strangers touching them. It was also the tone and unnecessary comment. I was minding my own business and already had told him how many sets I was doing. Some people may feel overwhelmed over noises, or get nervous to where they might need to take a break. Also, it wasn’t like I was the ONLY person on their phone. I feel uncomfortable and unwelcomed. For a “Fitness and Wellness centre” this behaviour doesn’t promote a healthy and friendly environment. Other than that staff are fine and usually very nice .

Negative experience: Dingy as little gym

Positive experience: Too pack

Fantastic experience: Great Zumba classes and yoga studio

Fantastic experience: Great facilities and friendly community environment.

Positive experience: Quite a busy little gym. But still manage to get my workout done for the day. Friendly staff and toilets/bathroom are clean.

Fantastic experience: Enjoy the classes love the floor space. All the equipment I need. Open 24hrs so I can go when I want. Friendly staff clean facilities.

Fantastic experience: Be a good member and remind those to clean gym equipment after use‍♂️ great staff overall and cleaners do an amazing job, the vibe is serious so put in the work

Negative experience: If you're intending to do group fitness classes, this has gone from a great gym, to a dumpster fire. The weights are absolutely embarrassing, cheap nasty plastic ones with cement powder in them. Well, when I say in them, a good many of the weights now leak powder all over the place. The risers for the steps are cracking. Many of the weight bars are bent. Management actively ignores any requests from the members, so there is little to no point complaining, as you get a reply that is absolute nonsense and is summed up by "we're not changing anything". If you continue to complain, you will be told "cancel your membership then". If only I was kidding. They appear to have a severe staff retention problem, with nearly all their experienced instructors having left. Interestingly, most of them leaving to the common theme of "unprofessional management, all the way to the top". Edit to previous, quite a lot later: still no improvements. Weights are shoddy, timetable and staff retention management just goes from bad to worse. Rather depressing seeing a couple of managers basically running what was allegedly the flagship of the chain into the ground, and ignoring all complaints.

Positive experience: Great location. Spacious. All equipments you need. However shower rooms and toilets are usually quite dirty hence the 3-star.

Fantastic experience: Haven't been here in over at least 3 years, the new set up and available spray bottles to clean. Well done

Negative experience: Felt pretty cheated. Came in multiple times to cancel and made it clear each time I wanted to cancel before my 1 year term. Only after my 3rd time filling out that online form did I get to pay the $200. I don't mind paying the $200 as it was stated on the contract but wasn't able to get reimbursed for all the weekly payments I made from my first cancelation attempt. Kind of a shame cause it was a good gym and the employees were nice.

Positive experience: Sign up was quick and easy. Had first session on Saturday and was great. All good so far

Negative experience: Good range of equipment and 24 hour access. Unfortunately like every other city fitness this gym is let down by members who are unable to do simple things like racking weights and wiping down equipment, especially during unstaffed hours.

Negative experience: Thumbs down and City Fitness knows why?

Negative experience: Waiting around for over half an hour to use the only after hours changing room. Absolutely ridiculous. I ended up going to the mall across the street to change, and the changing room was still in use when I got back. There needs to be a better system for people coming in after hours because this definitely doesn't work.

Fantastic experience: Great place to go to

Fantastic experience: I love this gym because you can actually use the weight sled. Thorndon has a weight sled but you can rarely use it because the space is so small and often in use by other people and you can't really blame them for that. Aside from this, this gym has an abundance of equipment so you never feel like you have to wait.

Fantastic experience: A good gym, I've been going there for about 7 years.

Fantastic experience: Great gym.

Positive experience: Has everything you need can sometimes be crowded
