Les Mills Extreme

Now I don't normally LOVE gyms but this one might just be an exception. After long convincing from my flatmates I joined Les Mills Extreme and honestly it is the best gym I've been too. Though it is pricey, it certainly is worth it with the copious amounts of storeys and classes! Even if we just make it to a few classes a week it's always worth it, and the gossip sesh in the sauna after makes everything a little more fun. A point of difference also is the blacked out cardio room!!

Defo the best part of my week! Friendly atmosphere and such a great range of classes! Instructors are helpful, always super friendly and crazy energetic not to mention will happily flirt a little to keep members coming to classes ;) Really enjoyable place to exercise. Great facilities, hot instructors and soooo many gorgeous girls going there. Half the fun of the group fitness classes is the scenery :).

Cafe Refuel at Les Mills Extreme keeps long hours and is open to non-members, serving a wide range of salads, pre-prepared meals, protein bars and smoothies. You can even get boiled eggs to go, and for those of you who follow a high-fat diet such as keto they’re the only cafe in Wellington (to my knowledge) that makes bulletproof coffee. Check out their prepared meal service too, which is able to be customised to suit various diets and only costs a reasonable $55.

Been going to Les Mills Extreme since I moved to Wellington 8 years ago, and I'll never switch gyms. Best place to be to get you in the fitness mindset, and their group classes are awesome #shoutme

It’s only four months ‘til summer, and if you want to put those to good use, get yourself a membership at Les Mills. Sometimes gyms can skew too relaxed (in which case, you slack off) or too intimidating (in which case, you don’t go) but I find Les Mills hits the perfect balance between motivating and welcoming. Their full class timetable means there are bound to be group fitness options for you, regardless of when you start or finish work, or the multiple levels of gyms mean you can choose to go it alone if you’d like. The staff are friendly and helpful and provide plenty of options and support if you feel a bit rusty or unconfident among such hot sporty people – before you know it, you’ll be one of them yourself.

Hands down the best gym in Wellington. Their staff are super friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. They can get you back on the fitness bandwagon with the huge selection of classes and quality equipment.

My gym of choice - the classes are excellent, especially if you suck at self-motivated exercise. Challenge yourself at Pump, Combat or Grit, give one of the many gym rooms a whirl (there’s a women’s gym, plus a cardio cinema and several others over three levels), or try your hands at boxing in an Impact class!

Amazing and friendly staff
