We make humans fit for life.

Les Mills Taranaki Street is home to four levels of fitness greatness. Our premium exercise equipment will help you make the most of your weights and cardio workouts while our Group Fitness studios feature a full schedule of motivational classes. Taranaki Street is the Wellington home of our immersive cycle class THE TRIP, has a Heavy Lifting area and a Functional Workout space.

Cycle Studio: Featuring dim lighting and an excellent sound system, and offering both live and Les Mills Virtual® Cycle Classes, you can be immersed in your own workout in this dedicated cycle studio.

Facilities: Transition from workout to work in the comfort of our changing rooms. Store your gear securely in a locker, then make use of our showers, ironing boards, hair dryers and straighteners.  

Functional Area: Utilising a range of functional training equipment including an 18m turf track and two Woodway Curve treadmills, this flexible space is the perfect spot to meet your Personal Trainer. 

Group Fitness Studios: Doing a Group Fitness class here feels more like being at a live concert than working out. Incredible sound systems and enough space for 200 members to work out together, these studios hold a huge range of group fitness classes each week.  

Our Reception area is where you'll scan into the club before your workout and also where you'll find our friendly staff who can help you with any queries you may have.

Les Mills Taranaki Street: Opinions

4.4/5 (178 Opinions)
Melissa Fanning 2 months ago

Fantastic experience: Amazing facilities, friendly staff and the frequency & intensity of the fitness classes means there’s always something for everyone.

Charlotte Mazepin 3 months ago

Negative experience: Used to be top but now its hard to get a workout in without tripping over people filming their workouts. Saunas are far too small and they've prioritised offers for new members (joining from gyms that have closed down) over existing patrons. Equipment is nice but there are less machines on the floor than 5 years ago so expect to wait. Struggles during peak times and opening hours are otherwise restrictive. In decline.

Hamsa Selvam 4 months ago

Fantastic experience: Love the gym, Les mills training, friendly staff and flexible plans for anyone to get started. Highly recommended for newbies and it’s @the city with better parking options!

Craig Williams 4 months ago

Negative experience: Poorly managed, mostly by the young part time receptionists who single out members they don't like. I can't understand why anyone would pay in excess of 100 per month for a service that consists of a disingenuous "hello", 'goodbye" at reception; no "hey would you like a spot"; or a scolding for not putting a weight away on the odd occasion; and of course opening hours that absolutely suck, as in no 24 hours access. It's like a bank, airline and other multi national corporations, where the management hides behind a coalface of dumbies and genuine concerns are ignored, so long as the money keeps rolling in.

Air Water Land Limited 5 months ago

Fantastic experience: Been a regular on/off gym goer here for over 25 years. It's a great gym family. p.s. rate the New Lynn facility highly as well.

Aistė Valaitytė 6 months ago

Positive experience: This is a brilliant gym with excellent facilities, many different classes, and friendly staff. I have enjoyed going there for the last two years. I wish they had gyms like this one in more places! ***BUT*** when it comes to cancelling your membership, it is some kind of mystical saga. Advice - get everything in writing (emails) so you can get your refund if things go south. I was charged $300+ of membership fees, and I am currently waiting for a refund.

Yair Bonastre 6 months ago

Fantastic experience: Really big gym to do any kind of exercise! They have plenty of activities everyday included in the price. There is even a sauna to relax! People is very kind!

Ellie McKenzie 7 months ago

Fantastic experience: This is a fantastic gym with high-quality, clean equipment, excellent classes, friendly staff, and spacious facilities. Gary at reception is particularly friendly and responsive to any issues. There are lots of showers (although not always enough in the mornings), Dyson and GHD hair tools, and a clean sauna. There’s often enough space for floor exercises, and a big range of machines and equipment. I highly recommend it!

Isabella Clague 9 months ago

Mervyn Chung 9 months ago

Fantastic experience: "Get Tough at Les Mills Taranaki Street" - I've done 210 full pushups after work in January 2024! I go into maximum overdrive adrenaline rush from the high-energy music to pump me up! The motivating music is so awesome that I crazily do back-to-back-to-back group fitness classes in a row. Big thanks to the hot, superstar group fitness instructors for having two intense & long cardio tracks at the end of BodyCombat and BodyAttack. Many thanks to the super-friendly reception staff and the excellent cleaning team. Heaps of thanks and praises to the founder, Uncle Les!!!

Emma Prestidge 9 months ago

Margie Petherick 9 months ago

Fantastic experience: The best gym in town. Excellent equipment. Information on each machine to help you and friendly helpful staff. Great vibes all round

sarah dalziel 9 months ago

Negative experience: Tried to cancel my membership here and after going in 5 times and almost 6 weeks and 145 unnecessary dollars paid later it finally got cancelled and I won’t even get a refund even tho it wasn’t even my fault. For such a high price the customer service is terrible

Leigh Catley 9 months ago

Fantastic experience: Been a member here for more than 10 years, and I actually still go there. It's hard to get yourself to the gym some days, LM Taranaki St makes it worthwhile once you get there. Good classes, good gear and its always clean and well maintained. And it's big. You don't know everyone. That's the best thing when you are red-faced, sweaty and falling over in a class or struggling on a machine.

Sarah Walsh 11 months ago

Andy 11 months ago

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff and tons of space so you never feel as though you are needing to look over your shoulder for hazards or people trying to get by. Nice changing and shower rooms and top location. 30$ for 24 hour pass for people passing through which means and evening and morning workout fit into one pass.

Jarryd Clarke Mayes 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Wow cannot sum up this facility better! Les Mills really exceeded my expectation! This was my first time visiting Les Mills with my good friend who is a member there. Clean, equipped for everything!

Hasbro 1 year ago

Positive experience: Too overcrowded, sometimes have to wait for equipment, not good airflow, but perfect place if you’re looking for attention and your training depends on busy environment…

David Greig 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: A good city gym - building, facilities, staff. (Lambton Quay, though smaller, is also good - one subscription covers both).

Fantastic experience: Plenty of rooms & equipments. Fun exercise classes. Cleanliness is also a priority here. Can see all the hard work that the whole Les Mills staff has put in to help keep the gym running really

Experimental Genius 1 year ago

Negative experience: Have worked out here back in November-December while working in Wellington, Its a great gym except the fact that the people really don't care about the rules, you would find people filming while working out, which bothered me as I don't want to be in anyone's workout video or TikTok and have to be on constant lookout on that, also the men's locker room rules have strictly no nudity which is a joke, you'd find people roaming around with no clothes. I hope the gym makes the rules a bit strict for everyone.

Mahdi Abdollahi 1 year ago

Positive experience: It's a nice place to do exercise but recently they got a lot of new members which made it difficult to do your work out. Members are more than the available facilities.

adam carter 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Definitly the most equipt and popular mainstream gym group in the city. facilities are great

Dixie Clinkenbeard 2 years ago

Negative experience: Les Mills is a great facility. However their response to request for a different membership plan or fee waive for having to leave the country (to bury a family member and settle belongings and unable to return because of immigration) also financial contraints from pandemic. Their response: The only way buyout fee's can be waived is due medical circumstance, that prevent you from returning to the gym for life. As this is not the circumstance use are in the buyout fee is payable It might just feel like the world is crumbling at the moment and that’s why it feels like a gut punch.

Fantastic experience: Amzeing place and helpful staff. One week free trail for such a amazing gym. I am so greatful. Looking forward for my next training session.

Nolan 2 years ago

Positive experience: Terrific, large-scale gym facility. Plenty of space and equipment. The staff however seemed displeased to have me there. I felt genuinely unwelcome. The woman at reception however, was lovely as I left ‍♂️ They do let you grunt when doing heavy reps. That’s something they have over CityFitness.

Dani Paxson 2 years ago

Positive experience: All in all, the high caliber you would expect from the Les Mills brand! A great place to workout, with ample locker rooms. Not quite as flash as the Auckland Vic Park facility (and parking is a challenge for those who plan to drive in) but am very happy with Les Mills Taranaki :)

Simon Chung 2 years ago

Marcelo G. 3 years ago

Negative experience: In 2017, I signed up a membership at LesMills, the staff knew that I was holding a tourist visa and that I was applying for permanent visa, and he told me that in case the visa was not granted it will be fine me to cancel the membership without pay fee. But I needed to leave the country, because the Imigration canceled my visa. I email the LesMills team to cancel my membership but they didn’t cancel and it was debiting from my bank account. I have been trying to regularize my situation but no one have competence to do it yet. I am really disappointed with the LesMills Team.

Fantastic experience: I'm really enjoying Les Mills Taranaki and wished I joined years ago. The facilities are excellent and all the staff and class instructors have been so friendly and helpful. The classes have been a highlight for me, there's a big range and I've seen results quickly from going to a few GRIT and Bodypump classes a week.

Paula Di Pino 4 years ago

Positive experience: Very complete gym with lots of classes to offer. Staff is super friendly and helpful. The gym offers a great variety of classes and with the app, it is super easy to organise your routine and schedule your roster. Sometimes the room is too crowded making the workout difficult and very impersonal.

Stan 182 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: My favourite go to gym in Wellington, could have made use of the space better when going through renovation..quite disappointing there is a separate "womans gym" area,sexist tbh..especially at peak hrs it's difficult to use cables for example due to the large volume of people working out,could have used that space purely for cable equipment, but decided to keep an area for woman who want to work out with men around..

GINziphorah 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Traveling thru Wellington for three weeks, I need a gym to finalize my prep for a major powerlifting competition back home. Les Milks Extreme has everything I needed, and much more. Gary was very helpful getting me into the right membership plan, and subsequently helping make the gym work for my unique needs. While there is a steady stream of people coming/going, I never had to wait to use a piece of equipment. Clean, convenient, and perfect for people visiting the city.
