CityFitness Lyall Bay

Fantastic experience: Great spot to train. Friendly staff. Wide range of equipment for weight training and cardio. Gets busy from 3.30 onwards so be prepared if you prefer it quieter.

Positive experience: Great gym, only complaint is that there's no boxing/kickboxing bag :( you would think that they would have the funds to supply one!

Negative experience: Worst gym ever in NZ and yeah Worst customer service aswell

Fantastic experience: Ive been to alot of Cityfitness gyms across the country and this is a awesome gym. Alot of room, alot of machines and the vibe is awesome. Top it all off the staff are always smiling and very helpful.

Fantastic experience: Cool location. Cool gym. Friendly staff

Positive experience: Great commercial gym that acts as my home gym. Well stocked with all the equipment you could need for any workout programme you’re on. Big open plan and spacious. I normally train 4am and it’s very quiet at that time highly recommend if you live around the area. Cons is just the busy times can involve having to wait for certain equipment otherwise highly recommend this gym. Staff are friendly and the other gym goers are too.

Negative experience: I’ve tried to come to reformer Pilates a few times now and each time it has been full. Just wish they would make it a booking system like the other reformer for city fitness. it’s a waste of time coming to find its full

Fantastic experience: The new Simplicity location is stunning, totally exceeded my expectations. I will be in daily!

Fantastic experience: I have the best trainer. Ask for Warwick. He is so GOOD!!!!

Fantastic experience: I really like the group power and fight classes. The instructors are awesome.

Fantastic experience: City fitness Lyall bay has a large space and lots of good quality equipment

Fantastic experience: Great gym! Very good selection of classes and instructors. Helpful, welcoming staff!

Positive experience: Be careful when you take out a 12 month membership. I had the option of paying weekly or a full 12 month upfront payment. I choose the full update front payment. What I wasn't told and seems unfair is that after 12 months I have to take out a new full year membership. If I had paid weekly after 12 months my membership would rollover and I could cancel with a months notice. I paid upfront as I didn't want all the direct debits on my bank account. City fitness had the use of my money over the 12 months. I seems very unfair. Warning - don't go for the full paid up front membership. They won't negotiate with you either

Negative experience: Ok during off peak time. But don’t even think about coming here after 5pm - it’s an absolute zoo! Unfortunately once you leave the city (Willis and Thorndon locations), this is the ONLY location near the southern suburbs and Miramar. Change gyms if you can, you won’t get your money’s worth here.

Negative experience: This gym is horrible. Thorndon has always been my local, but now I’ve moved so I have to go here. Why are all the machines so old. They also don’t run smoothly and are just horrible to work out on. Are all those bench presses needed?? 6 seems so excessive and you can use that space to get better machines. It also isn’t the cleanest and there’s hardly any fans so it gets so stuffy in there. It is shocking how poor quality this gym is.

Fantastic experience: One the best gyms in Wellington

Fantastic experience: 24 hour gym great selection of machines and equipment. good space to move.

Negative experience: Too many teenagers for my liking

Negative experience: Literally started paying for black membership and they make the after hours doors like impossible to get two people through? And then locked us out for not making it through

Fantastic experience: Lovely set up

Fantastic experience: Wow just wow i looooooove this gym, everyone is so supportive and kind. I get the fattest pumps and love curling the iron. Anyways if you recognise me come say hi baha. Some times the pre workout got me acting up tho baha ayeeee

Positive experience: It does get really busy, but there's loads of equipment, and if you've got a good programme (I get mine from @MaxSilvaniPT) then that makes things more efficient! The classes are fun, the changing rooms are clean. Great value, particularly if you go to the classes too. Google maps indicates how busy it is right now, so worth a check before you leave the house

Negative experience: The staff is not friendly AT ALL.

Negative experience: The staff is not friendly AT ALL.

Fantastic experience: My favourite church

Fantastic experience: Great!

Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere... Great classes

Fantastic experience: One of the best gym in NZ

Positive experience: Never not busy otherwise its your pretty standard commercial gym

Fantastic experience: Such an amazing gym and great atmosphere

Positive experience: It's decent and relatively clean. It gets packed even outside of peak-hours as it is rather small. Can sometimes be difficult to access squat racks and free weights especially for this reason.

Negative experience: Too busy, aged/limited equipment for the size, read there was air con but definitely doesn't feel like it.

Fantastic experience: 무료주차. 바닷가 근처. 시설 좋음. 위치 좋음.

Negative experience: Too busy

Negative experience: Parking is infuriating, unless you’re there before 8am don’t bother

Fantastic experience: Good gym I like it

Positive experience: Good in the weekends for sure. Friendly staff as well

Positive experience: Nice big gym with plenty equipment.

Positive experience: Good gym, considering how cheap is signing up

Fantastic experience: The BEST gym in Wellington @Lyall Bay cityfitness. Clean & spacious with friendly staff

Fantastic experience: Get on down to City Fitness for a good workout on quality machines. Helpful team to make sure you do things right to reshape your body and improve your health.

Negative experience: Not really CityFit’s fault but the security they hire would only give oral notice AFTER they quickly entered female changing room at night. I told them (different security persons) 4 times that at least wait for a sec before you fagging enter, there was even once the security just walked in while he was on phone and didn’t even give notice, that I had to quickly run into the toilet because I was halfway changing clothes. Frustrating really.

Negative experience: The Staff are extremely rude and unpleasant and unnecessarily combative. Even the club manager who was slightly better than the person we have spoken to initially but still unprofessional; mocking and heckling customers in earshot and being rude to other customers who are trying to give end of contract notice. I would NOT bother with the gym, the equipment is average and the facilities were basic! Avoid!

Positive experience: Place has decent equipment, worst thing about it is too many members at peak times, can be like a circus... Groups of high schoolers go there to take up space and take photos, have frequently seen groups of 4-5+ on one station for UpTo half an hour! My advice is best time between 12am & 5am

Positive experience: Good gym setup Three benches Two squat racks Two power racks with deadlift platforms A large variety of cardio equipment, free weights and kettle bells It can get quite busy at peak times (typically after work, so 5pm -7:30/8:00pm) but people tend to cycle through equipment fairly quickly. Exceptional value for money if you sign up for the $7pw contract, which gives you after hours access to the gym

Positive experience: A good gym. Very convenient if you leave on the South Coast or the Eastern Suburbs of Wellington. Also strategically located across the road from Bunnings Lyall Bay and only a few blocks away from the Kilbirnie Shops.

Positive experience: Great vibe and equipment.

Positive experience: Just need a sauna and boxing area then it will be complete gym

Positive experience: With these level lock downs the feeling on the gym floor is pretty sad specially having speed up our sessions for the poor other members having to wait outdoors

Negative experience: It offers enough for the basic membership if you just want access to the weights and cardio machines. Equipment however often is broken and the space is limited when peak hours are commencing.

Negative experience: Good gym but the contracts are predatory, forcing you to give 4weeks notice when you want to cancel. The web interface is so poor that if you lose your card you can basically never find your account number without visiting in person. I'll tell everyone I know to avoid this gym in the future.

Negative experience: As a guest, My experience was cut short when they decided not to let me in, I was shocked, the disrespectful ness was un called for and completely inappropriate. If I could give less than a one star I would. Avoid this gym if you can.

Fantastic experience: Amazing place for a great workout

Fantastic experience: The staff was very helpful they went through the whole membership process with me super smoothly.

Fantastic experience: Not pretentious, people keep to themselves. Has all the equipment you'll need. I don't know about classes because I don't like classes.

Fantastic experience: Staff makes you feel welcome!

Fantastic experience: Great gym. Loads of top notch equipment and very helpful staff.

Fantastic experience: Been going there a while now, staff are friendly, super tidy while it's staffed, only wish there was a 2nd leg extension machine

Fantastic experience: Best gym chain in Wellington

Fantastic experience: Best city fitness in wellington... heaps of equipment, spacious, clean, anything broken is fixed fairly quickly and its also just by the beach

Fantastic experience: Good size gym, good access.

Fantastic experience: Best gym eva

Positive experience: Wohoo they finally have deadlifting platforms

Positive experience: Great gym. But sometimes can be really crowded with people

Negative experience: The staff is extremely rude. They ring me when I’m at work and try to tell me. I could not get my brother in the gym after 9:00. When I signed the contract I already paid for two people can go together. I already canceled the membership and never come back thank.

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym. No frills and fuss - just everything you need to get fit. Cheap as chips options depending on what you want. Clean and tidy - front desk gets quite busy so allow for enough time if you have any bussiness to attend to with reception.

Fantastic experience: Cool

Fantastic experience: Great Gym

Fantastic experience: I've only been to the Wills street CityFitness as a comparison to Wellington gyms but this one is by far my favourite. Clean, good layout and plenty equipment. Staff are friendly and helpful. Always a good experience although avoid peek hours as it can get busy.

Fantastic experience: Its very nice

Fantastic experience: Best place to workout

Fantastic experience: Fantastic

Fantastic experience: Super nice gym, very convenient as it’s close to the Pak’n Save. Not too big and not too crowded, yet well equipped and nice staff.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of several gyms over the years, tried cheap alternatives to my usual which was the main les mills on corner dixon and taranaki, Wellington. City Fitness is the best and here are my reasons. But before I go through the list, the one thing that bothered me about other gyms are those assisted machines. Some are so unnatural moving they actually do more harm then good, however the ones at City fitness pass the test. Some assisted machines there to me are pointless like arm curl machines and others that feel weird, but it's an easy fix by using cables or free weights. 1) First off the cost which is $6.99 2) The leg machines are affective and safe 3) Free weights incl bench and squat rack 4) Bike room and stretch room 5) Friendly staff and PTs 6) It's a no judgement gym, all levels of fitness 7) Best showers and changing rooms/toilets 8) 24 Hour Access My only wish is that there was a boxing room, but other then that, City Fitness are best in Aotearoa when it comes to atmosphere, staff, quality and price.

Fantastic experience: Great staff

Fantastic experience: Great gear

Fantastic experience: Bien

Fantastic experience: No frills gym with great options. Upgraded to black membership and loved the use of massage chairs.

Fantastic experience: Was a little tired tonight but I had just enough energy in the tank to finish my workout. One more step closer to my gym aspirations. Time to relax now ☺

Fantastic experience: Super large gym, clean, modern and the staff are friendly and helpful

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym in every way

Positive experience: Best air con in town if you dont wanna die

Negative experience: Unfriendly staff.

Positive experience: Saw

Positive experience: Too many bikes and ellipticals, not enough squat racks and benches.

Positive experience: Pretty busy, but you expect that for the price. There's a lot of cardio equipment and an OK range of free weight stuff. Needs more cable machines. Also more incline (or just regular) benches, there aren't enough for a gym this busy!

Positive experience: Half the bikes won't turn on nor stay on and the feet straps don't work...

Fantastic experience: A great gym with wonderful trainers. I have been training for 10 weeks with Zoli Hughes (aka Rekkr!) and he's got me hitting my fitness goals with some no-nonsense circuits and strengthening routines. I highly recommend him if you need to get yourself in shape. Thanks Zol.

Fantastic experience: Great trainer

Fantastic experience: good gym with friendly staff, but this random bulky bald headed guy keeps looking at me in the lockers. bro i dont want to die

Fantastic experience: Best service

Positive experience: Great friendly and helpful start. Good equipment

Positive experience: Good clean gym with plenty of equipment. Cheap pricing too.

Negative experience: Decent gym but like so many others it is let down by members who seem to be incapable of following basic gym rules.

Positive experience: Not bad. Very big place But needs more floor work out areas. People tend to hog the current mats

Fantastic experience: good gym with friendly staff, but this random bulky bald headed guy keeps looking at me in the lockers. bro i dont want to die

Positive experience: Well equipped, but the classes timing and options is not very appealing and suitable for people that end work after 6pm or 7pm.

Positive experience: It's one of the better city locations that I've been to. It might be nice, however, to see the staff wondering around. I see so much equipment being misused by members who seemingly have no idea what they are doing...

Positive experience: The gym is pretty good depending on the time you go,the music on the other hand is the absolute worst. I don’t know who is in control of it but it is so terrible,make sure you have your head phones!
