Fantastic experience: Les Mills Christchurch CBD is an awesome gym. Great equipment, heaps of space, and a great layout. The sauna and changing rooms are nice and super clean. Great spot to train if you're in the city! Brad Proctor Kakapo Business Sales

Fantastic experience: Not sure what all the negative comments about the staff are about. The two on front desk this morning were lovely. Think ppl need to realise it’s a gym not a cafe. They ain’t there to ask about your life story. They are there to get your ass in the gym. Keep at it team!

Negative experience: My parter was absolutely robbed by this gym, we spent 6 month in Christchurch traveling and using less mills all was good until it came to us leaving. My parter asked to end his contract and pay the hefty buy out fee the member at the desk didnt not process this so when it came to the end of the month the member said ‘that he would sort the contract out then’ so we paid the buy out fee and left then a few weeks later were told that we would have to pay the extra month membership even though it was there error. When we tried to explain this over email we have received no reply and instead been contacted by a debt collector which we have had to pay. Its a shame as its a good gym they just seem to be more money hungry then anything else i would not recommend- i would love a response to my parters email (james wooding)

Negative experience: Only 2 cable machines is outrageous!! Not a premium Les Mills gym, old and outdated equipment. Felt like I was walking into a city fitness gym when they first started out.

Johno A 6 months ago

Positive experience: Had a great couple months there so far. Am a bit worried about the 2 hour parking limit as quite often a workout then a shower/sauna after will take at least 2 hours. Might be a bit better if it was raised to 2.5/3 hours. Other than that great staff great trainers and everything is up kept very well

Fantastic experience: The best gym I have been too. And I have been to a lot all over the world. Excellent range of classes throughout the day. Energetic and enthusiastic coaches abound. A spin class with Bevan is not to be missed. Early opening and late closing means everyone can fit their training around their schedule. There is enough equipment so you can do what you want even at peak times. Oh, and i can strongly recommend the drinks at the smoothie bar on your way out.

Beryl Plimmer 9 months ago

Fantastic experience: Love my visits there while on holiday in Christchurch

Luke Williams 9 months ago

Negative experience: Four levels and one of the smallest most over crowded gym floors in the country. Staff are only friendly if on duty and will look at you like you're a weirdo at any other time. Gym manager is lovely though.

Karin Fjellman 9 months ago

Positive experience: Nice gym with a lot of machines and passes to choose from. Don’t forget your mat though since there are none.

H B 10 months ago

Negative experience: Just another money hungry business praying on the less fortunate. Signed up but unexpectedly had to move where there wasn’t a Les Mills gym close. Despite never actually setting foot in the gym or even setting up the access card they charged me the exit fee anyway (over $300) and sent me to debt collectors when I explained I couldn’t pay that as moving to care for the family member/moving costs took financial priority. Claim to care about your wellbeing but that doesn’t include your mental health. Do not recommend, there’s plenty of other small businesses that have a lot more empathy, stay away from the corporate soul suckers.

Anna Gardner 10 months ago

Negative experience: I found the young male staff member incredibly rude when I entered the gym to ask a question about the EV charging stations, initially, he was far more interested in the conversation he was having with his mate to acknowledge me. He was quite dismissive when I explained there were two cars parked in the EV charging stations that were not charging - he said they were probably in a class and it was ok for them to park there - I explained it is for charging cars, not parking and attending the gym especially as there were numerous other car parks available. Staff need to be taught some customer service/manners.

Art Ryumin 11 months ago

Negative experience: This is a great gym but if you want to go 'elite' as this gym markets it's self as an elite fitness facility you will be greatly let down. For starters the sauna heat temperature rarely exceeds 80. Internationally the temperature for heat exposure is minimum 80. This sauna fluctuates between 68-80. The sauna also gets turned off during the day for a whole hour. Further if youre training requirements mean you'll be at the gym for over two hours.. After a very intense long duration training when youre pushing yourself and trying to be elite.. You get hit with a flipping $85 parking ticket. So far this month has cost me over $240 to park at this gym. This leaves a sour taste towards the gym and is bs

Siddiqi Ray 11 months ago

Fantastic experience: OMG- I just found my new religion. This branch is awesome. The front desk staff are excellent, the equipment is really well maintained and the women’s only workout area is well laid out. The instructors are first rate- especially Vui Suli Tuitaupe- he’s very welcoming, fun, and inspirational.

Chris Buckeridge 1 year ago

Positive experience: Been here a few years now. Great staff, music, and classes. Have definitely stayed due to the classes. There are always classes happening throughout the day and they are great exercise and motivation. The negatives are the price, more expensive than most gyms but if like me you do the classes it's well worth it. Probably not worth it if you just want the weights. The limited hours are annoying for those that like a night or early morning workout, but still bearable.

Fantastic experience: Never attending a gym before, Les Mills Christchurch CBD has been absolutely outstanding! With knowledgeable guidance during rehabilitation, I have now continued my professional development in sports training & fitness goals without hesitation.

Robert Faith 1 year ago

Negative experience: Christchurch gym has highly aggressive behaviour from some staff. There has been a lack of follow up on complaints to management about this. It is completey unacceptable in todays world for this to happen. Any complaints lodged - with witness details sent to management - went unanswered and were then 'filed.' Average at best. This review only applies to the Christchurch gym.

I am Fitness 1 year ago

Negative experience: Visited Les Mills Hamilton and one of the most prestigious fitness studio at the crossing. I tried the virtual body pump 30. One of the best part of the trail is the virtual body pump 30. The quality of the release does reflect to the "investment" and brand image. Worst ever reception, felt much discriminated and weird thing is you would definitely get a much better service/treatment from your local fish and chip shop's part time high school student.Thanks, Jay and Naomi.

Andy 1 year ago

Positive experience: People are great and friendly but it seems they have tried to pack in way too much equipment into the rooms and it now feels less organised and messy overall. I was a member many years ago and then it seemed spacious and more calm. So it has all you need and more but it’s just not as well put together as it was.

Georgie Anderson Brooks 2 years ago

Negative experience: The gym itself is great, the staff are great, and the instructors are phenomenal. The members services team however are a real downfall... For the past 2 months now I am having issues with my billing and have got no clear answer from them. Last week I had $60 taken out of my account for some unknown reason and I still have not heard anything as to why? This comes just the week after I had to pay $45 for a billing error on their end... have tried to get in touch with them multiple times via email and phone but nothing. Reception even marked the case as urgent and still nothing...

Frank Goorhuis 2 years ago

Positive experience: Generally a great gym with good changing rooms, shower cubicles and a sauna. I’ve been going here for just over a year and just renewed my membership. Lacks some basic equipment (eg. abductor/adductor machine). The gym is by no means dirty, but equipment gets a bit dusty. Lovely, welcoming front desk team which really makes a difference, with the exception of Claire who gives me the feeling she feels better than the rest of the team as well as Les Mills members

Positive experience: I have been a member since 2003. I have used other gyms during the chch earthquake and nothing compared to the amazing classes offered by Les Mills.

Stuart Keer-Keer 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Ticks all the boxes. I enjoy going but do miss the older RPM instuctors. The instructors that have been around for a while are fantastic. I seek them out as you feel like they are engaging with the class not just presenting a package. The gym gets crazy busy so seek out off peak times. 7am crazy busy. After 8am better Car parks can be a challange at times. Park 1km away and warm up by walking to the gym

anthony kinney 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I was next door at the old CTV site of big earthquake hit 22 February 2011. It was the 11 year anniversary I was here 3 weeks prior to the earthquake in 2011 at Canterbury television studios with a friend it's amazing just looking around today listening to birds and cars thinking what it would of been like on the day of the earthquake

John and Nikita Gregory 4 years ago

Negative experience: Signing up with Les Mils was easy and effortless. Surprise surprise, the same could not be said for terminating the membership. It takes at least 5 days to hear back from them and you can not get through via phone. I'm incredibly disappointed in how the process was managed. It really tainted what was a great experience for me. In terms of facilities, it would be great if the women's gym could have some proper maintenance (rather than the duck tape solution) and be a bit bigger. The other facilities were amazing, loved the Sauna and the classes. Like I said im really disappointed at how my termination was managed and the poor communication. A phone call could have gone a long way to clearing up these concerns.
