CityFitness Burnside

Its good overall. Needs a spinning studio. Frustrated by the groups of young boys/guy's who hang around and don't do much. Would also be nicer if they sectioned off the massive big space into smaller areas. Would make it less intimidating

Really good facilities, great range of machines and plenty of them. Great parking.Some small negatives - quite a few times the body wash dispenser in the shower has been empty; one of the showers has been Out of order" for months. A few times the paper towel dispensers have been empty.Otherwise my only complaint would be about the people who just sit on the machines exercising their phones..."

The female receptionist on easter friday was very helpful setting up my membership. Definitely deserves a pay rise if she hasn't got one yet.

Good large gym with plenty of equipment. Not sure about the peak hours but around 4pm when I go during weekdays isn’t very crowded. Large clean changing room and plenty of showers. Lots of parking and bicycle stands. Plenty of group classes during the week. I personally prefer this one over the Wigram City fitness.

Great gym. Nice atmosphere. Only downside is they close the showers for cleaning at 5pm peak time.

Far too busy at after work hours to get a well paced workout in. Even early morning can be too busy as the most commonly used equipment is taken up with queues commonly there. Only two cable setups so max 4 people at a time can do exercises at once same with squat racks and legpress. And it doesnt help that it's usually surrounded by a group of teenagers standing around doing a set each every 10 minutes. I've done entire workouts and groups will still be on the same bit of equipment. Some of the more experienced members also have a bad habit of leaving their stuff laying around and hogging equipment too.Suppose you can't really do anything if the gym is going to keep selling cheap memberships despite an extreme lack of equipment around. Staff are friendly enough but just seem to be the equivalent of a fitness McDonald's worker, so no fault to them, I guess they can't really do anything to help the gym be better.Stick to smaller independent gyms, also be careful because the cheapest membership locks you in a year contract

Great place for work out. Have been coming here since they opened. Clean. Not a lot of people during lunch hours. Lots of car parking.

Enjoyed the workouts here during my short visit to NZ, the equipment range is decent however I can tell it gets too busy for there to be enough variety. A lot of repeated machines that are stacked quite close to eachother however I never waited too long.The price of casual though on the expensive end $20 each time, I visited 4 times.Other than that, bathrooms are clean and staff are friendly. Recommend for your workouts if you’re staying nearby as a traveller, not sure what the memberships are like although keep in mind. This place can get pretty busy!

Very good gym easy to find things around and very friendly staff

Incredibly well equiped and all equipment is pretty new. Most people at this gym tend to sanitize and wipe down equipment when they're finished. Only downside is that it's generally always busy unless you go between 10 pm and 5am
