Oceanblue Health & Fitness

Fantastic experience: Excellent

Fantastic experience: I've been a member, on and off, for over 15 years. It has gotten better and better over the years. It has 3 fully equipped gym areas, pool, sauna, multiple classes, massage therapists, nutritionist, physio, welcoming and knowledgeable staff. Highly recommend.

Negative experience: The gym itself has great facilities, but I was really disappointed with how my partner was treated. He’s a paying member and invests a significant amount in his membership, yet the customer service he received didn’t reflect that. On one occasion, a staff member greeted him and he mentioned he was looking forward to using the spa to relax. Her response, however, was quite rude—she said, “To relax? You’re always using the spa/sauna. You should use the classes,” and said it in a very condescending tone. It’s important to recognize that everyone has their own reasons for how they use the gym, and you never know what someone might be going through. That kind of comment showed a real lack of awareness and professionalism.

Fantastic experience: Really tidy, well-kept gym with heaps of gear spread across a few different rooms – cardio lovers are especially spoiled for choice. Any time something breaks, it's usually fixed pretty quick, which is awesome. The staff are always friendly and up for a chat if you need a hand. The pool, spa, and sauna are a solid bonus – feels like a mini holiday after a workout. Only thing I'd change? Wish the opening hours lined up a bit better with my schedule – I'd happily pay extra for 24/7 swipe access. Otherwise, Ocean Blue gets a big thumbs up from me!

Positive experience: I like the gym/pool, however for the cost find the opening hours to be very frustrating. The amount of times I haven’t been able to train in the morning or evenings- specifically over the weekends takes a huge hit on the value of your membership. The recent change to open later at 7am on the weekends has caused me to cancel my membership. Really unfortunate.

Fantastic experience: Love this gym, it has everything you need from weights, workout programs and circuit to suana and spa. Lovely clean environment with friendly and helpful staff members.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, great staff, good mix of classes for everyone and reasonable weekly fee.

Fantastic experience: Great place Great People

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym!! Great value! Has everything!

Fantastic experience: Great gym, wide selection of classes, lots of equipment and never had to wait for anything even during peak hours. Love using the pool and sauna. Such good value for your money and super friendly and helpful staff

Fantastic experience: Great facilities. Big choice of group fitness classes for all levels. Awesome gym

Positive experience: Great gym, will visit again

Negative experience: Enquired about the gym on their Instagram page - they seen my message and blocked me! Highly immature and unprofessional people who run this place. I don’t recommend

Fantastic experience: Been a member for years... Good facilities, friendly personnel.

Positive experience: Very pleasant gym, friendly staff and pretty nice equipment. I liked the different areas for different things. I particularly liked the circuit room I have never seen one of those and thought it was quite cool. Didn't try the pools as I didn't bring my togs but it looked refreshing. Only reason I didn't give 5 star was that they needed a couple more benches for the weights, no paper towels only resuabld microfiber ones (I feel they may be more dirty than paper ones) and membership price did seem quite high. It was also quite busy when I went on a Monday mid-day so can't imagine how busy it gets during peak hours . I would definitely recommend this gym over the other gyms in Papamoa though. Overall a good experience and I would come again.

Fantastic experience: Very welcoming staff. Plenty of options to choose from for your exercise needs. Love going to group fitness classes.

Fantastic experience: Hay una gran variedad de clases y horarios. El gimnasio es súper completo

Fantastic experience: Awesome facilities

Fantastic experience: Been a happy member since 2006

Fantastic experience: Great gym, welcoming atmosphere

Fantastic experience: Great staff. Feel very welcomed.

Fantastic experience: Great aqua fit class today!!

Negative experience: Called to ask about membership while our gym is closed. Lady was very unhelpful and didn't seem to interested in helping or getting my business.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, lots of different classes. Friendly staff and gym goers.

Fantastic experience: Top Quality, friendly easy. Best fitness range. Very impressed. Thankyou

Fantastic experience: Went just as a casual while we were on a weekend break. Friendly staff. Equipment was amazing

Positive experience: Reception creates the first impression. Unfortunately there are staff in this role that do anything but create a welcoming atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member here since it opened, the vibe is low key with both Lycra clad, fit, young members and older people like me.

Positive experience: Nice gym, quite big with a nice pool and sauna. I love the option to book on-demand sessions when there are no classes. Pool facilities could use an upgrade, or at least a good clean. Sauna can be absolutely packed even though you're supposed to book it.

Negative experience: New to the area and looking for a closer gym to work out at. Ruby on reception this morning, should not be front-facing customers. You would think you were walking through McDonald's during rush-hour after bars are all closing, not a health club promoting health and fitness. A-hole alert...do not recommend...they've addressed the lack of customer service, by deleting their facebook page. Absolutely do not recommend.

Fantastic experience: Like my second home….. love this gym so much! supper friendly staff and great equipment, love the classes and layout of the gym makes me very comfortable. The only thing i wish it would be open for longer in the evening, especially on the weekends!!

Positive experience: Don't get me wrong, this is a nice gym and the staff are very nice. Both kind and welcoming. Machines are all good, high quality and if you come any other time that 4-6pm then it's reasonable in terms of quiet. Plenty of space for everyone. I went all last year, only moving to another gym this year for convenience and price. Is it worth the cost of $25/week? Maybe. City fitness, the gym i was at the year before, for $18/week let me bring a friend whenever I liked - no such thing here. It does have a pool and sauna that I never used and they wouldn't let me opt out of paying for it either... Maybe they could reconsider that strategy. My main complaint is with the bathrooms. A couple of things I wasn't expecting: I wasn't expecting for the showers to smell like urine at 5pm (regularly). This is more of a men problem than a gym problem, but it was horrific. So much so that I stopped using the showers altogether. I also didn't expect to have to put my stuff on the shower floor either, as all inside hooks are either broken or missing completely and there are no shelves - an easy and low cost fix. For $25+ per week.. Could be better. All I'm saying. I also feel like the lockers to not be fixed to the wall is quite dangerous. Earthquake risk. Not sure if they've been pulled up on that yet. Apart from that, great spot, can recommend.

Fantastic experience: Great gym. Staff are awesome and friendly.

Fantastic experience: Great gym all the equipment friendly and helpful staff would definitely recommend to others

Fantastic experience: Great facilities and awesome staff

Fantastic experience: I've started doing Aquafit classes and thoroughly enjoying myself.

Fantastic experience: Brilliant aquafit class today

Fantastic experience: Love it there, friendly...Covid-19 careful too..thanks Jess and everyone else..whole place great

Fantastic experience: I go to the aquafit classes three times a week and really love Doug's classes. He has great music and the exercises are a good workout. Doug encourages you to push yourself and also encourages anyone to go at their own pace if they need to. Top instructor. Keep it up Doug.

Fantastic experience: Great

Fantastic experience: That's such a great place to work and everyone's friendly

Fantastic experience: Perks of this gym over other gyms include the spa and pool being for gym members only. There is a separate functional room for hiit training. They now have a PT that can do body scanning which is far more accurate. The trainers who take the classes have fab personalities. I can't speak for all if the PTs but of you join and can manage to get a weekly spot or 2 with Tanya you will be very happy with the training and the results. I have had several PTs over the past 15 years she is by far the best. There is also a great circuit room that your can go around to a beep working all your muscles for a quick total workout. In comparison to Baywave which has a pool also, I find the staff at Oceanblue more friendly, they know who you are (if you actually go regularly), they are supportive of your journey. 110% recommend Oceanblue.

Fantastic experience: Great gym has everything that one would need no waiting time stay as long as you wish

Very social, everyone just chats away to each other. Great equipment. Great pool, spa and sauna. The atmosphere is so relaxed, just like being in your own home gym.

Fantastic experience: Great facilities, good staff

Fantastic experience: Had the opportunity to use this great facility when on holiday in Papamoa recently. The gym is very well stocked with really modern equipment, and plenty of them, so never any waiting. I also attended the aqua aerobics, yoga and pilates classes. The instructors were lovely, encouraging, and always ready to give individual feedback and assistance when required. The gym staff were really friendly and helpful, this is obviously a very well managed and popular facility and we hope to be back!

Fantastic experience: Great place to train and relax. Super clean equipment and we'll maintained gym . Awseome and friendly staff

Fantastic experience: If you are looking a great gym that has it all then Oceanblue is for you! It has a two great weight training rooms, a large group fitness area, great programme's, awesome cardio gear, swimming pool, squash courts, circuit room (just to name a few) and the whole gym has been refurbished and it looks amazing! If you are looking for a personal trainer then in my opinion Oceanblue has the best in the Bay and I highly recommend Mark Woodgate I wouldnt waste my time going anywhere else when this gym has it all.

Fantastic experience: I adore Oceanblue, I am waiting excitedly for the pool and spa to be ready for my next swim...one more week to go...if you have an ache, or a limp or just feel plain yuck .. walk it out in the pool , you will be welcomed by a really good circle of wonderful people all doing the same healing, repairing, improving exercise in the pool, like myself... I highly recommend it....

Positive experience: Being a squash player but not wanting to join a specific squash club or play competitively this gym is ideal. The options of squash, swimming or gym cover all bets and it's great. Plenty of classes all included in membership . This includes aqua and spin classes. Pool area and changing rooms recently updated. Spa pool too. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Non members are allowed with a member for a small fee (approximately $7.50 for squash or $15 for the gym, I think). Non-members not permitted in the pool. Concession cards available which have no expiry. Student deals available during holiday periods. All in all an excellent gym and experience

Fantastic experience: Everything you need under one roof

Fantastic experience: Top gym facilities

Fantastic experience: This was the gym I worked out in whilst living in Papamoa for nearly 12 months. Really nice staff and all the equipment I ever needed to keep fit
