YMCA Gisborne Inc is much more than a traditional gym; it is a community-focused nonprofit established in 1844 that has been a cornerstone of the Gisborne (Tairāwhiti) community for over 140 years. Located at the corner of Roebuck and Childers Roads, the facility is dedicated to reducing inequalities and creating life-enhancing opportunities for people of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds. Their mission is to build strong kids, strong families, and strong communities by nurturing growth in body, mind, and spirit.
For fitness enthusiasts, the Y Fitness program offers a welcoming environment to "feel better, move better, live well." Members enjoy access to a 24/7 fully equipped gym, stadium facilities, and over 100 diverse group fitness classes. The center is renowned for its Les Mills programming, ranging from virtual and live classes to studio cycling, providing high-energy, instructor-led workouts for every fitness level. With no lock-in contracts, no establishment fees, and no cancellation fees, YMCA Gisborne ensures that staying active is accessible and affordable. Special rates are available for students and seniors, starting at just $7.95 per week, while comprehensive plans offer full access to all amenities, including a personalized fitness program and boot camp sessions.
Beyond fitness, YMCA Gisborne plays a vital role in child and youth development. Services include Y Tamariki (early childhood education), Y Kids (environmentally focused care for young children), and Y Oscar, which provides high-quality out-of-school care and holiday programs. The organization also supports youth through the Y Kai (nutrition program), Y Manaaki (youth empowerment), alternative education, and ACE programs. This holistic approach ensures that every member of the family, from toddlers to adults, has a place to belong, grow, and thrive.
Guided by core values of Manaakitanga (caring), Whakaute (respect), and Whakawhanaungatanga (relationship building), YMCA Gisborne invests directly back into the local community. Every dollar spent on membership supports these essential social services, making your membership an investment in the well-being of Tairāwhiti. Whether you are looking to improve your health, find after-school care for your children, or simply be part of a supportive local community, YMCA Gisborne offers a warm, inclusive, and transformative experience.

Fantastic experience: Good gym.nice facility.
Fantastic experience: Nice gym, good equipment, nice showers too. Can get 24/7 access (I think it was 50$ for chip) and then can get 30$ per week membership that you can cancel any time. Can get better prices if staying for longer period. We think it’s the best gym in Gisborne!
