Howick Leisure Centre: Reviews

Keri Honnor Published on Google 6 months ago

Positive experience: Council owned gym /red centre. Not really for gym bunnies! Caters really well to older people in their fitness classes, though some classes are so popular that you need to quickly book in . Has a reasonably well stocked gym. Staff are always pleasant & helpful. You can do one off sessions but most economical to join. Special joining rates quite regularly.

Fantastic experience: Peter Fell. I have been going to this gym for 12 weeks. My target weight was 95kgs from 101 but I've got to 91kgs. Today Caroline took me through a program Jenny had prepared for me. What a difference doing exercises that are being done properly. I'm looking forward to continuing this program targeting at my problem areas , lower back and knee. Don't forget to ask these wonderful people to look after you and help you get the best results .Thanks ladies.

Fantastic experience: Nice, clean facility to host an event. I was just here for a Warrior wrestling show and I've been to a few wrestling events in the past held at different locations but this venue by far is the best. Also sufficient parking and great location. Would recommend both the venue and catching a Warrior wrestling show.

Positive experience: It is where I do Basketball Practice on Wednesday nights every week and all year and it's by far the best place where we have always had Basketball practice and our whole club is devided in 4 teams as the joint has 2 courts for remember we trained at Reeves Road Pakuranga where it was 1 court in 2000 and we then moved to YMCA Ellerslie 2001 and 2002 and then back to Reeves Road Pakuranga from 2003 to 2007 and then here to Howick Community Center from 2008 right up through to now so we've trained at Howick Community Center for almost 15 years and it is pretty well the best place my Special Olympics Team Howick/Pakuranga has always trained for Basketball.
