CityFitness New Plymouth

Positive experience: Was warmly welcomed Then work out However, Carpark is shared, So best time is 7pm onwards

Fantastic experience: great people an great staff allways freindly an the equitment is so great to use

Negative experience: $85 per workout session thanks to the new parking system. Don't bother with this gym any more.

Negative experience: An OK gym, with good facilities. Overrun with teenagers though. If you're gonna join, only get the very basic option. Not being able to use machines or validate your parking because it's so busy with teenagers, when you pay a premium, is rather frustrating.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been working out in gyms all around the world and this one is definitely the best bang for your buck in town. Huge variety of equipment with basic Hammer Strength machines but also some treasures like the old Nautilus rows and presses! Staff is also very friendly. Would definitely go back, whenever I’m in the area!

Fantastic experience: Between City Fitness and Simplicity there so many training options. PTs are available and group sessions throughout the week.

Negative experience: The gym and its facilities are great, no doubt, but the parking system is a total nightmare. Every time you go, you have to register your car on a tablet before 6 PM, just to get 1.5 hours of parking. If you're even five minutes late, forget to register, or if the tablet isn’t working, you’re slapped with an $85 fine. And don't even think showing them you're a regular gym member will help. I had to appeal over FOUR times, and argue non-stop for more than 1.5 month before I finally got the ticket canceled. The gym doesn't care either – when you ask for help, they just throw their hands up and say the parking system is separate, so tough luck. The same goes for the parking and smart compliance. They say the gym and parking aren’t related, so it is your issue. It’s clear this whole system is just a money-grab, designed to screw you over. If you get a ticket, just know you’ll be stuck appealing over and over again, wasting your time and energy, until they finally back down. But don’t pay them anything.

Positive experience: Really good. I just feel they need some wooden poles for stretching and flexibility

Negative experience: The new parking system is a trap. They just rip you off with $85 every time. There's this tablet that you can enter you license plat in it but it doesn't work most of the time and you need to try every 5 minutes. Can you concentrate on your workout like this? Well, I can't. Then there's maximum of 90 minutes. 91 minutes and you have to pay $85 fine. Very good source of income for this "Smart Compliance" with ripping off patients and gym goers. I'll start looking for other gym options. This is costing me too much. Mentally and financially.

Negative experience: Decent gym, more needs to be done to ensure people are aware there is a quota for the number of parks allocated to the gym. When I queiried with staff if my parking had been validated for 90mins I was assured it was and ended up with a steep fine. Overall not worth it

Fantastic experience: Saturday evening after 19:00 was really nice with 20 to 30 people. Nice and quiet so had free equipment to choose from.

Negative experience: nice facilities. parking is a trap for unknowing visitors, beware! Cameras operated, use normal street park. Got done 2x when visiting over xmas. The machine for validation wasn't working, according to parking control it was fully allocated for a limited quota. There where no other business open in the complex, as it was public holiday...

Negative experience: I got fined $85 for parking at CityFitness, and this is absolutely unreasonable. The signage clearly states that members can park for 90 minutes, but there was NO clear notice requiring us to enter our license plate details. If this is mandatory, why isn’t it clearly communicated at the entrance or inside the gym? This feels like a money trap rather than a fair parking policy. A simple, well-placed sign could have prevented this issue. Instead, members are being unfairly fined for something that was never properly communicated. Extremely disappointed in both CityFitness and the parking management.

Negative experience: Parking fine for over staying the 30 minute limit, completely unreasonable. You have to enter your details every single time to extend your stay to 90 minutes and if you forget once, its an $85 fine.

Negative experience: Good gym, plenty of space. Clean. Everyone wears headphones because the music is shit and loud but even with noise cancelling headphones can’t shut it out

Negative experience: I am changing my review to one star and looking for a new gym. I have been registering my vehicle on the tablet as advised, yet I continue to receive monthly letters for parking breaches. I've been overseas for a month, and guess what? I received yet another breach notice—it's clear they enjoy my monthly appeals! This has been an absolute waste of my time and energy.

Positive experience: Busy when I get to go around 7.30pm but gets quieter towards the end at 8.30-9. Lots of equipment ranging for older to new machines but there's always something to do

Fantastic experience: Big gym with lots of equipment. Was good to train at while working away

Negative experience: Very poor customer service… same as taking to robots

Negative experience: Red flag they tolerate Racism!! Even others speaking from experience what a sad community were in

Fantastic experience: Well equipped and spacious

Fantastic experience: Big gym, lots of machines Nice massage chair

Fantastic experience: Great Gym. Very inviting. Nobody judges, everyone there doing their own thing. I feel very comfortable going to this gym. They also have great personal trainers if you would like a program set up for you.

Negative experience: Such a hostile environment with no happy vibe to be found in the atmosphere. The staff were being racist and only letting white people film in the gym but bcos I’m Māori they wouldn’t allow it? WHAT! Better remember whose land you are on! it felt very much like I was back in the segregated days and only whites were allowed here! Will be changing gyms ASAP! And I hope you sort this issue out CITY FITNESS shame on you!!!!!!

Negative experience: cheap as, but staff wasn’t really friendly.

Positive experience: Nice gym, good staff

Positive experience: Temperature more fans going be nice

Negative experience: Michelle the gym manager does not enforce the rules of the gym but allows agro and threatening behaviour to continue despite numerous complaints.

Positive experience: Very spacious place to workout. The machines could be better. Nice studios. Great staff

Positive experience: Large gym, lots of machines, good price. Would give it 5 stars, but it lacks a bit of equipment. - Only 2 x squat racks that are always being used. - Only 1 x pull up bar that isn't very good Other good additions would be to have an assualt bike, an assault treadmill, sturdy pull up bars bolted to wall, a couple power cages, and separate Olympic bars so you don't have to remove them from other racks/equipment.

Negative experience: Over zealous clamper and a great place to score some cheap roids. So many other gyms now to choose from thankfully

Positive experience: First time in a gym and it was pretty easy to get around but a little difficult understand information what machines did what. until you walked up to each one and looked at the card on the side.
