Guys,

I will be moving to NZ (wellington) soon and need to know your best/fav routes for running. Looking for something uphill for short and intense runs.

Also looking for best gyms in the area.

Try this site and Map My Run - but basically you can have hill runs, flat runs, long ones, short ones... If you end up working in the central city, you've got Mt Victoria on one side, Tinakori Hill on the other, or all the way up to Wrights Hill past the Karori Wildlife Sanctuary

Plenty of posts here about gyms, the major ones are (in no particular order):

Les Mills - two locations in Wellington, one in the Hutt Valley

Bodyworks in Thorndon and Porirua

City Fitness

Club Physical in Cuba St and Petone, and of course

Powerhouse

I'm getting posted to Wellington soon and we have a few routes up on the gymnasium wall. Maybe I can take a picture of them when I get down there.

Some of the routes are pretty challenging :pfft:

Thanks for the quick and valuable responses!

Really appreciate it and looking forward to the move.

Come to Christchurch mate, its mini-Britain pom haven. A bit like CAmbridgeshire, so the Press said in an article.

Wellington is too windy, and Auckland smells. \:D/
