PT in Auckland

[gdl]

Me and my partner are looking at moving to Auckland at end of year. As a current PT any recommendations wich gyms are pt friendly to work at, and not just use me for my 260 a week rent with minimal support!

Cheers

Its a reasonably sized place, depends on where your living. Do you have a general area in mind: North, South, East, West, Central?

You don't want to be caught travelling too far or too often.

Especially in the south

Likely to be looking Cetnral or North Shore. The Mrs thinks Id suit being a bit of a Shore boy! Na but seriously I want to work somewhere thats gonna help a man make a fresh start, and be supportive. Im in my 30s and done sales work and confident I can sell myself :nod:

The shore is expensive housing, central is more so, well documented I'm North Harbour (North Shore) through and through.

its not all expensive on the shore mike... there are nice/expensive and shit/cheap suburbs in each of the areas in auckland.

[crazyfacials]

maybe you should give the south a go, if you're after a nice area to stay at then Manukau Heights might fit your bill, houses are reasonably priced for for either renting or owning

mike north shore isnt expensive... there are nice/expesive and cheap/shit suburbs in all the areas of auckland. in most cases a 5-10min drive from a so called nice area and u will end up in a shit area, pretty much anywhere within auckland.

[gdl]

ha will be looking at renting!

Do people still do the house ownership thing in Auckland!!

Going up to Auckland for easter so will be scoping out a few places!

Any places to avoid? Im not keen on Les Mills, although LM Britomart looks like it is going to be mighty impressive, the license fee to become certified there as a trainer is a huge turnoff

Depends on where and what you want to live in, and how many of you there are.

I've recently been looking for a place for my family of 4 and something decent and suitable under $400 is hard to find......as I own a couple of rental properties both on the shore and have lived here most of my life, I speak from experience.
