Fantastic experience: Awesome gym in the heart of Wellington. Fantastic coaches with expert knowledge who are warm and friendly. Well equipped for your Hyrox, CrossFit, Strength Training and cardio needs. Programming and comms are excellent.

Urban Fitness

Thanks Jenn, really appreciate the kind words.

You’ve been awesome to have in the gym—consistent, coachable, and always bring good energy. Glad the programming and setup are working for you. We’ve built this place for exactly that kind of training, and for people like you who get after it.

Let’s keep going.

Fantastic experience: Totally friendly place, met everyone. All the equipent I needed. Was able to coordinate my workouts with program and class schedules. Great location, with us staying on Tory and Courtney Place, spent quality time with Roo...and I got to work out with our Son Anton ! BWTM...great music playlist

Urban Fitness

Loved having you in, Charles — glad everything lined up and you got to throw down with Anton too. Roo said it was a great vibe having you around. Appreciate the kind words — and yes, we’ll take credit for the playlist!

Scott Feasey 5 months ago

Fantastic experience: Urban team has helped me and been very patient considering my previous knowledge of gyms was limited. After 4 years (my longest gym membership ever) I have come a long way physically in that time and can now enjoy challenging our adult kids, sking, biking tramping etc. The diversity of the network at the gym has also inspired me to attend and I can say with hand on my heart that Mike the owner and the instructors have been a pleasure to work with. I apologise for being the person that asks the most questions as simple as they maybe and appreciate winning the Christmas party most Questions award Here’s to a great gym and community.

Urban Fitness

Appreciate this heaps Scott — and stoked you’ve stuck it out for 4 years. You’ve come a long way and it’s been awesome to see you throwing down outside the gym too.

Never apologise for the questions — you keep us sharp. We’ll have that trophy ready again this year.

Legend.

Kevin House 7 months ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve been an Urban Fitness member for nearly 10 years now. I was attracted initially by the proximity of the gym to my workplace but rapidly became a loyal attendee, thanks to the high standard of personalised tuition, the flexibity of classes to suit my needs and premium quality facilities. The gym offers something for all ages (I’m 61) and fitness levels. If you want to try something away from the chain store style of fitness locations, I’d absolutely recommend Urban Fitness.

Urban Fitness

Kev! 10 years says it all mate! Legend. I will get the Zimmer frame out for the 2nd 10 years to come . Thanks for the support over the years my friend. Mike

Megan Compain 7 months ago

Fantastic experience: Urban Fitness is more than a gym, it’s a lifestyle and a community. Have been here since day 1 and wouldn’t be anywhere else!

Urban Fitness

Yeah you have! Since before day 1. Appreciate your support and loyalty Megan (and Carlos).

Adrian Harris 7 months ago

Fantastic experience: Where to start... Urban fitness has been amazing for both my mental and physical state. Mike and his team have managed to secure amazingly talented staff and coaches. From one on one PT sessions to teach you form, technique and push you in the right direction to not only set your goals but also achieve them. The coaches and group classes are another level, the camaraderie, encouragement and support from everyone in the classes is amazing, making each session loads of fun. Great people, great location, not just a gym. Adrian

Urban Fitness

Adrian, this means a lot bro.
We’ve always believed that training should be more than just a workout—it should be a place where you feel challenged, supported, and surrounded by people who genuinely care.
Stoked that you’ve found that here! The team will love hearing this, and I personally appreciate you taking the time to share it with the world.

Fantastic experience: Quality coaches who focus on improving your technique in a non-judgmental and super encouraging way. Prepared me for my first Hyrox competition, which was a life changing experience. Awesome community vibe too, made a lot of really cool gym friends!

Urban Fitness

Hey John, love this, man!
Nothing better than seeing someone put in the work, trust the process, and then absolutely crush it on race day. HYROX is a beast, and you stepped up big time. Stoked we could be part of your journey! And yeah, the community here is something special—great people pushing each other to be better every day.

Mark Vivian 7 months ago

Fantastic experience: Urban has a fantastic vibe and energy to it, driven by Mike the owner, who genuinely cares about his gym members, knowing everyone by name and checking in on their progress. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a fun way to get active, whether it be casually, competitively, or somewhere in between.

Urban Fitness

Mark, this one hits different, man. You’ve been part of Urban since 2017, and your support has meant a hell of a lot over the years—whether it’s training, sharing advice over coffee, or just being a solid presence in the gym.

Appreciate you always having my back and being part of what makes Urban special. Looking forward to many more years of training, coffee chats, and good times!

Fantastic experience: An amazing gym! Welcoming, warm and inclusive. Every BODY and fitness level is accepted and celebrated. The coaches are highly skilled, energetic, motivating and genuine.

Laima Piraga 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: It's been over 5 years now since I joined this gym and have never considered any other gym. Having a physio background myself and at the time of trial I had a shoulder injury, so I was very sceptic to join CrossFit gym as I have never done functional fitness before and I felt very unfit. But you don't need to be fit to join, you get fit and strong here. And this is not a typical CrossFit gym, variety of classes can get you fit, compliment not only Crossfit, but other sports as well. The guidance and support of amazing coaches, camaraderie from the community is amazing. I have gone from not being able to hang of the pull up bar due to shoulder pain and feeling puffed from 5 burpees to becoming fittest and strongest I have ever been in my life so far.. Mike and Roo has build a very strong community that supports each others journey in and outside of the gym. This community had been my saving grace during pandemic, safe haven during pregnancy and post-partum blues. I am very thankful for my Urban Fitness tribe! Coffee catch ups on Saturdays with the crew after sweaty session is a highlight of my week. If you have read it so far - try it and Training for life can become your life moto too!

Urban Fitness

Laima, this one means a lot.

You’ve been such a big part of Urban for so many years, and watching your journey—from being unsure about functional fitness to becoming fitter, faster and stronger — has been incredible. More than that, you’ve always brought so much energy, support, and good vibes to the gym, and that’s what makes this place special.

Grateful to have you as part of the Urban crew, and yeah, those Saturday coffee catch-ups after a solid session are hard to beat!

Natali 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I dropped in for a class a couple days ago while I was visiting from the States and had a blast. Instruction/workout was great. Mike was super responsive, friendly, and welcoming. And the members I found to be more welcoming than any other CrossFit box I had visited.

Urban Fitness

Natali, this is awesome to hear! Stoked you had a great experience dropping in—our crew is something special, and I love that you felt that straight away. Always great having people visit from all over, and you’re welcome back anytime!

Safe travels, and see you next time you’re in town!

Kayla Pearson 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: We’re on holidays from Australia and was in need of a sweat sesh, so we stopped by Urban Fitness and Mike was such a legend and let us drop in on Easter Sunday! The gym is in a prime location and everybody we met was so incredibly friendly! If we were locals we would definitely be members here! The gym is super clean and pristine, it had all the equipment you need and it was honestly a great space to train in! We would highly recommend coming here, you wouldn’t regret it! Thanks Mike we appreciate it!

Urban Fitness

Kayla, this is awesome! So glad you and the crew stopped by for a sweat while you were in town—especially on Easter Sunday! Loved having you here, and it’s great to hear you felt the Urban vibe straight away.

If you’re ever back in NZ, you know where to find us. Appreciate you guys, and safe travels!

Daryl Wong 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Big, spacious, airy gym. Met two of the other regulars and they couldn't be more friendly/helpful. The gym has the advantage of offering single passes for a just-passing-through traveller like me and I was able to get in more than my local gym workout with all the equipment on hand. Music was pumping, energy was high and I had the pleasure of meeting the owner who very clearly cares about his gym and welcoming people to it. Would absolutely recommend to others in my situation, or locals in the area who want a high-motivation place to go!

Urban Fitness

Daryl, this is awesome to hear! Stoked you got a solid session in and felt the good vibes while passing through. We love welcoming new faces, whether for a day or long-term, and it means a lot that you felt that straight away.

Appreciate the kind words—if you're ever back in town, you know where to find us!

Charles Ingell 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Absolutely brilliant gym; with a clever space within a city. Loads of equipment, including ski erg and C2 bike which can sometimes be hard to come by when travelling! Really clean gym too which is always appreciated and never unnoticed. Lovely, friendly staff too who welcomed me warmly despite just showing up. Clear, concise coaching with some testing programming; great to get the blood flowing after some long travel days. Couldn’t recommend more. Affiliate drop in number 51 complete! Thanks guys.

Urban Fitness

Charles, this is epic—affiliate drop-in #51, that’s some serious dedication! Stoked you had a great experience and that we had everything you needed to shake off those travel days. We take pride in keeping the space clean and well-equipped, so it’s awesome to hear that stood out too.

Appreciate you dropping in, and if you're ever back in town, the door’s always open!

Fantastic experience: Dropped in from out of town, absolute ripper of a session. Super friendly and totally encouraging. Doesn’t matter if you’re a die-hard CrossFitter or just starting out on your fitness journey- there was total scalability. Get into it.

Urban Fitness

Ben, love this, mate! Stoked you had a ripper of a session and felt the energy. That’s exactly what we’re about—making sure everyone, no matter where they’re at, gets a solid workout and feels part of the crew.

Joy Tang 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I was visiting from California and looking for a place to work-out in Wellington. I stumbled upon Urban Fitness and found it to be a welcoming environment with good schedule options for a traveler. There are the scheduled work-outs as well as open gym times, and the latter was especially helpful for a travel schedule. As it was raining, I extra-appreciated having a friendly, well-maintained place to go during my time in Wellington. Thank you Urban Fitness for making my work-outs in Wellington possible, which of course made my trip so much better! Location bonuses: They share a street with Good For (natural bulk foods store) and Moore Wilson (a specialty grocery store), and I noticed a coffee shop also.

Urban Fitness

Loving hosting you Joy, welcome back anytime you are in Wellington.

Nadia Lundquist 2 years ago

Sally Walker 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Having switched from a well known rather large commercial gym I was a tad nervous. Worried that I would be surrounded by super fit gladiator types who would look down on me for being a ‘normal gym’ person. I couldn’t have been more wrong, whilst there are the super fit gladiator types (we all are on the inside, right?), most people were pretty normal and very welcoming. The workouts are hard but rewarding, the coaches are attentive and super knowledgeable (bonus is that they are easy on the eye as well ), the Urbanites are all super friendly, encouraging and fun to work out with and there are no mirrors or the selfie brigade! If you’re fed up with your current training come give Urban a try - six classes for $30!!

Urban Fitness

You know it Sally!

James O'Connor 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Was visitig Welly and wanted to do the open workout while I was here. Mike was very accommodating and let me join in. Everything you'd want from a CrossFit gym; well equipped, great trainers and most of all a friendly community. Enjoyed it, thanks for having me team! Cheers

Stacey Mackinlay 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Moved down to Wellington at the beginning of the year from the Bay and was a little nervous about starting a new gym. That didn't last long though, everyone including the coaches were so welcoming! Nearly all day open gym time fit perfectly for my training and they have a couply well set up weightlifting platforms. Would absolutely recommend this gym to anyone. The coaches are amazing and have a wealth of knowledge. Top notch place for everyone, whether you're just starting out on a fitness journey or have been at it for a while. 11/10 would recommend

Sean Roy 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Facility + Coaches + friendly Members + central Location + varied sessions = all-around excellent!. I was on holiday in Wellington CBD for the week over Christmas - New Years and made it in a handful of times. Great variety of sessions with MetCons, Crossfit WODs, Open Gyms and they even let me in for a row while they were cleaning one day. Add to that an excellent New year's day WOD and it was an excellent way to keep my fitness up while on the road. Big thanks to Mike and the whole crew...come visit Nor Cal soon!

Urban Fitness

Drop back in anytime Sean!
