Central Fitness Picton: Reviews
Fantastic experience: I recently joined the gym and honestly, I’m really enjoying it. I often go late at night, and I always feel safe and comfortable, which means a lot to me. The equipment is great, clean, and easy to use. There’s a good variety for both cardio and weights, so I can mix up my workouts. The staff are friendly and welcoming. I also did personal training with Glen, and he is an amazing coach. He explains everything clearly, makes sure my technique is right, and really motivates me to do my best. It’s a positive, supportive environment, and I’m so glad I joined. Highly recommend!
Thanks so much for the amazing review Komal, we really appreciate that, we hope you continue to enjoy the gym and continue to see great results, keep it up!
Fantastic experience: Great gym. I am not a gym guy I have avoided them as I never felt comfortable however here I can always find a time that is private enough for me, plus the culture is very supportive, created by the staff and rules of the gym. Have madea convert out of me.
Thanks so much for the review Chris, we appreciate you and your time. Keep up the great work, you're doing amazing and we shall see you soon! :)
Fantastic experience: I can't be any happier that I signed up at this amazing little gym! It has everything that you could possibly need for a great workout. But the best thing about this gym, for me, has been the staff, specifically Coach Glenn (he is the only PT that I've worked with but I am sure that all the staff are just fabulous). I signed up for personal training because prior to Central Fitness the only gym equipment I ever used were the treadmills, ellipticals and bikes. I was sooo intimidated by machines and free weights that I didn't even try. I was terrified going to my first session but quickly learned that I had absolutely no reason to be. Coach Glenn has been so patient and full of encouragement while also ensuring that I am getting the most out of my workout. I wish I had taken this leap many years ago, but better late than never. I love seeing the physical changes but the change I notice most is to my frame of mind. I feel more confident every week. I can't recommend Central Fitness enough. Picton is very lucky to have it!
Thanks Jenn, you're a legend!

Fantastic experience: I’ve really enjoyed my time at Central Fitness Picton. The gym has a welcoming and supportive atmosphere, with friendly staff who are always approachable and helpful. The equipment is well-maintained, and the space is always clean and tidy, which makes working out such a positive experience. What stood out to me most was the great customer service — they make everything simple and stress-free, even when it came to my membership. It’s clear they really value their members, and I would happily recommend Central Fitness to anyone looking for a great place to train in Picton.
Thanks so much Maia, we appreciate you
Fantastic experience: great variety of equipment for a modestly-sized gym. I can only agree with comments about the friendliness of staff: gym instructor was super accommodating, helpful with instructions and created a great atmosphere by seemingly knowing everyone who & being friendly with anyone who came in. positively surprising gym etiquette adherence, too & I really enjoyed the music. big recommend!
Thanks Claire

Thanks for the review Denis! Stoked you enjoyed the space.
Fantastic experience: A great little gym which packs a punch with the equipment it has available for use. Also, as people from out of town their day/week pass option was amazing. You sign up and through an app and an easy to watch video you can access the gym 24/7 for the day/week you sign up for. Really cool tech!
Yay so stoked you enjoyed the space, equipment and the tech! Also great to hear that the video helped make it a smooth process

Thanks Adele! That's great to hear!
Positive experience: The staff hours are pretty bad if u just wanted to sign up for a casual visit. I had to drove back to Blenheim to goto the gym then drove there again the same night. Otherwise the inside look OKAY.

Fantastic experience: I was in Picton visiting Mum over Xmas/New Year and was looking for somewhere to maintain my gym workout routine. I contacted Central Fitness and they were very responsive and accommodating of my requirements. The gym was clean, tidy, had high quality equipment and Hannes was a very professional trainer. I highly recommend Central Fitness to Picton locals and any visitors passing through, or who have a few hours to kill before catching the ferry.
Hey Chris, cheers for taking the time to write such a thought-out review. We know what it can be like trying to find a nice and easily accessible gym space while on the road. We are stoked that your experience with us was such a positive one. We will see you next time :)

Thanks for the great review Marco!Glad you enjoyed it and I am happy that we got you in
Fantastic experience: Trained in Central Fitness last year in preparation of a powerlifting competition. What else could I say than amazing environment, competent staff, family vibes and proper equipment. Too bad i’m only traveling around or i’d stick around for a while! Cheers from Canada.
Fantastic experience: Awesome place! Very well equipped, friendly, and fantastic value. Really good selection of weights, racks, kettlebells etc as well as machines. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Only popped in for a casual session but was an awesome gym. Top of the line equipment! Really enjoyed working out here. Makes my gym look way less flash! Would recommend this place hands down.
Great to have you Quinton
Fantastic experience: Was there for a workout during my holidays. A cool gym! Not too big, but has everything you need! A really good free weights area. The staff members are very friendly and helpful. The showers / toilets are modern and very clean.
Hey Cedric, cheers for your review. It sounds like your experience training here was an all around great one. Hopefully we will see you back here again one day.
Fantastic experience: Had two days to spend in Picton, so of course I looked for a gym to work out here. I messaged their Facebook page to find out about their day rates and hours, and Jonny was very responsive. They have pretty much everything you need for a decent workout. They've got a decent number of racks for you to do some barbell work, some strength machines, cardio ones (C2 rowers, treadmills, etc), kettlebells, medicine balls, free weights and a much appreciated space to deadlift and do some Oly work. Not a huge gym, but clean, well-maintained, and good enough to get in a good strength workout or metcon. Decent rates too :)
Awesome to have you Sam! Hope the rest of your trip went well.
Fantastic experience: Great new gym! Everything smells new and clean, super brand new and technological equipments, good training music, amazing hot showers and the owner is such a nice friendly guy. If you're a traveler like me and you're in Picton not for a long time the casual is 14 dollars and totally worth it.
Hey Giulia, you will be pleased to hear that the gym still smells new and clean haha. Thanks for taking the time to write this review. Means a lot :)

Fantastic experience: Great gym with a wide range of equipment and fun classes. I absolutely recommend Jonny as a PT. His assessment of me was thorough and it was obvious he’d read and analysed the online questions he’d asked me to complete in advance. The plan he has put in place is totally tailored to my goals, ability and experience. Each time a few things are tweaked so I’ve made great progress in just a few weeks.
Fantastic experience: Jon and a Alex are awesome, feel welcome there, and i train every second day, good gear love it, plus i am proud to say i go to my gym Central Fitness gym PIcton...
Fantastic experience: BEST equipment by far!! In my opionion the best in New Zealand . Better equipment and set up than gyms in New Zealand's biggest cities that I have both worked at and trained at.

Fantastic experience: I asked Jonny to help me achieve greater functional mobility, build and sustain muscle mass, and improve cross-body stability under load, all key factors in staying injury free as we get older. He has come up with great programs. Very pleased and looking forward to the months ahead. This gym is a great plus for Picton and all who live or visit here.
