They have lots of classes as well and things you can take advantage of like a Fat2Muscle programme if you are interested in losing weight while you work out. Loads of people take advantage of this, for one Wendyl Nissen who talks about it in her newsletters and blogs.

Really nice to not have to deal with providing your own lock. The real unique point of Bodytech is the well-staffed floor and the supervised circuit workout.

I have been a member for 6 years, I think that says it all, right?

Great brand machinery, and an adjoining room out the back for aerobics, yoga, Zumba, Pilates, kick boxing, you name it, there's a class. Get in and give it a try. You will either love it or not. But it was a thrill to work out here and the ladies who train here are a fun and chatty bunch too.

The gym seems to have changed and most of the Thais have moved on. There isn't as much attention paid to each individual (a few participants - usually women- might get some advice) anymore, most classes feel very formulaic and repetitive, and trainers will often spend time on their phone, on the bag or chatting. I think they need more focus on attention to clients, building technique and diversifying the classes.

I have been going to City Fitness the last 2 years and absolutely love it! What I found so…read moreappealing about City Fitness in Newmarket is a) its close to me, b) they have great parking facilities and c) they have a large range of classes that are included in your membership fee. I found with quite a few other gyms they would charge you extra to go to their spin class. At City Fitness all you need to go is book a bike to make sure you don't miss out. At City Fitness they have a large range of cardio machines, free weights, machines and also a women's separate section. I find myself spending a lot of time in this section purely because a) the men dominate the weights section and b) it can be incredibly intimidating doing weights in front of the men. They have a lot of personal trainers walking around offering assistance to those who need while they're waiting to talk their private sessions. They also sell a lot of work out supplements and more often than not have some great deals. If youre looking for a gym with a fun environment I would recommend coming to check out City Fitness.

I personally want to tone: boxing is ideal for cardio, upper body strength and core. I go in looking glam, leave feeling exhausted & drenched in perspiration. Amazing what an intensive 30 minute session can achieve! There is a boxing ring, boxing bags, rowing machine, bikes, gym equipment, Dumbbells and everything you need to get fit. Exercise not only makes you feel good (by releasing endorphins), it's great for your well being (reducing stress) & general health. Prices from $45-$80 per 30/60 minutes.

Well, this is where it all started back in 1968 by the Mills family. If you are a Les Mills instructor like me, this is Mecca and it's a big deal to come here. Jamie D'Angelo is one of the managers at this gym who moved to NZ from the US. She gave us a tour of the facility. They have 2 floors and several buildings or towers connected by a bridge. They have a CrossFit area, free weights and machine area, cardio area, boxing area with a ring, and group fitness studios. They film masterclasses in the group fitness studios. The studios are huge and can fit up to 200 people. While in NZ, I took BodyPump, CX, and Body Attack from Dan Cohen, Georgina, Glen Ostergaard, and Susan Renata. I wanted to classes from Ben Main and Lisa Osborne but they were off. I would've loved to take Dan and Rach's Body Combat class but my flight was only 2 hours before their class started and I would have missed my flight. I know most people are like "who are those people and why are they a big deal?!" I'm not usually a big fan girl of actors and actresses but I love athletes, and people who promote Health and Fitness around the world - and that's what these people do and they are good and passionate about it. I'm a bit partial to BodyPump instructors because that's the class I teach (more certifications to come). I absolutely love taking Glen's class - he's the program director after all. He's the man behind the song selections and choreography for BodyPump. I loved Susan's class too - she's very chatty while she teaches and she connects with her participants. Jamie had told her that we were going to her class. Right before class started, we introduced ourselves to Susan and she knew we were "the girls from Vegas" and got a special mention in class. We noticed that the gym members keep to themselves. They go in, they go out. They're not the type that stick around after class to chat with the Instructor or other members like we do at our gym but that might be a cultural thing. The group fitness studios have ear plugs (for people who find the music too loud), drinking fountains and fans with misters. The gym has a small cafe where you can get a snack or a smoothie. There's a vending machine for bottled water and energy drinks. They also have a clothing store that carries mostly Reebok (the official outfitter of Les Mills) and a lady named Mary works there and she is an absolute sweetheart. She's very helpful and friendly. I think you have to pay for parking - not sure how that bit works since we stayed at a hotel nearby and got a multi-day pass.

Before joining I found it hard to do anything but now I am fit, healthy, and running 12km races. The staff at the gym are always really helpful. I especially love their classes because I don't even feel like I'm working out. Before I know it the class is over and I've done a massive work out. I went to their new Grit class the other day and it was really hard, as they warn you it is, but they weren't kidding. 30 minutes of hell. Despite this the instructor was really motivating and helpful. Even though Les Mills is a bit out of my pay cheque, at the end of the day what they help me with is priceless.

The lockers already have keys so you just need to bring it into the studio with you. I suggest bringing your own towel (for shower) otherwise it costs $2 to hire. I'm a fan and will probably try to come to more classes. I think the only thing I would have liked is if our form was checked/corrected. I honestly based my movements on what others in the class were doing vs what was actually best for the workout. Some people were bending knees, some people weren't. So I'm not sure what was actually the best form.

It's a calm oasis in there, with the most amazing air con and facilities you have seen in a gym. In fact I think gym is too much of a dirty word to associate with this pristine place. Because they keep a cap on membership, there is never a line for the equipment, the instructors are always on hand to dole out helpful advice and they even email to check up on you when you haven't been in for a few days. The facilities available to all members and casual members include a swimming pool, sauna room,a tennis court and a great range of weights/ exercise bikes and heaps of other exercise equipment. There are classes available too, a favourite of mine being tennis fit! And don't even get my started on the bathrooms, and the straighteners available, the shampoo/ conditioner\ bathrobes. They really have thought of everything. Why just the other day I got offered a free hour long facial and massage just for being a member. Have I tempted you yet?
