JustWorkout - Central City

I visit Auckland on business regularly and usually go to another gym when I'm in town but this time the hotel which my company put me up in was situated right across the road from JustWorkout so I thought why not give it a shot. Well... what can I say... as soon as you walk in, you're greeted with such happy and positive team members. I went in the mornings and afternoons depending on work throughout the week and I had a great experience whatever the time. The Irish lady (Sorry I can't remember her name, it's a distinctive Irish name) who works in the morning... There was never an early morning I walked into that gym with out being greeted with a big beautiful genuine smile and a "Hi, how are you".  On my very first visit, she took time to show me around and explained things clearly.  There are plenty of weights and cardio machines.The gym had a nice "local feel" about it and the members are also very friendly. It gets busy in the mornings but in a good way.. it creates a great atmosphere which I didn't expect as the gym itself is somewhat hidden away up on Durham Street West. Overall a great experience was had and I'll be making sure work puts me up close by again next time.  Cheers to all the team at JustWorkout. See you all next time.  Christine. P:S: I saw the Localist signs in the gym and I've just signed up to Localist to post this review. What a great site. I'm going to be on here all night reviewing all the shops, restaurants and places I go to when I visit Auckland.  

Honestly, when you have been working out as long as I have and been a member of many gyms it is refreshing to find a good honest friendly place to work out with heaps of great gear and approachable knowledgeable staff, and it's right in the middle of the CBD!

These gyms are one of the few where you can pay to JUST attend the classes (or maybe i am misinformed!!). I signed up for 6 months for just the classes, as many as you want to go to (4 or so a day) for about $16 a week. I actually really enjoyed it. The staff were REALLY friendly. Its not a poser gym, all sorts of people go there, big, small, short, tall, athletic, lazy : P. The classes were varied, spin class, yoga, kick boxing, weights, zumba. You can tell they try really hard at keeping it interesting, but admittedly after 6 months i got bored of all the classes as i did all of them. The only downside i feel is that they use the same music in the classes over and over, i'm sure this has something to do with copyright infringement so is probably out of their control. Would recommend though! 

Im very embarrassed to admit that I forget the front receptionist lady's name, but she is SUPER nice, SUPER friendly, and just a pleasure to see and greet everyday! She's very bubbly (in a good way) and super enthusiastic! The facility is great, its like a workout oasis tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Queen Street.  I love the classes, as I go to Pilates and Zumba, the instructors are fantastic at what they do and I always feel like I gave 200% after a class. They have great hours for these classes, at lunch time and in the evening after work! So no excuses not to go!
