I used to go to Whangarei for work on occasion, and would always visit World of Fitness whenever I was up those ways. It is located on Bank Street, so quite central (I remember it being close to the Court house - where I worked - and around KFC somewhat ironically). Haven't been for about 1.5years though...

From memory the casual rate wasn't too bad (although I got to claim the fees back through work so didn't really care at the time...).

The facilities were really good I thought, ample space, decent amount of equipment, DBs go quite high from memory, they even have kettlebells if you're into that sort of thing :)

They also had a "protein bar" which I went to after every workout. Gave you a great tasting shake, relatively inexpensive (again, from memory as I claimed back), BIG shake (they gave you whatever was in the blender, topped you up if it didn't fit in the cup) and there was a decent range of flavours. This all meant I didn't usually bring protein with me on my work trips :)

The members are a pretty cool bunch too, had lots of people come and chat (small town, haven't seen me around sort of thing I guess), including a competitive powerlifter who had the most impressive technique/lifts I had seen at the time (throwing 140s around A2G for warmups) and plenty of people were all too happy to come and offer a spot :nod:

So all in all, highly recommend it!

Hey Steak!!!! Come to my gym!!! :grin: :grin: :grin:

Its the one that Drizz is talking about.

But that other one greyghost is talking bout is better for bodybuilders. Its quite a small gym but the guy that owns it is massive!! And its out the back of his supplements shop. But they don't have any tvs in their cardio section so thats why I don't go there. Cardio is boring enough already :roll:

Plus my ex goes there so thats too awkward.

I think you should come to my gym though. And yep its nice and handy to KFC too =P~

Ummmm nah come to my gym :grin:

hey Peachy, is your gym stil open, seems they have re branded with a new name, im new in town and been looking for a place??

Have you been to Anytime Fitness near the town basin in town. Its really cool as you get a key and you can access it 24 hours a day. Most of the trainers there are cool and will help you if you ask. BTW its not badly priced either. \:D/ :clap:

'The Gym' That has been mentioned here is more for bodybuilders as said.

Anytime Gym is probably the better of the gyms in whangarei, better priced and available any time ;)

I personally go to the aquatics center gym which is more of a fitness place. But Its got a good bench press/squat frame so I'm happy, can get lots done in there + a pool afterwards. This is the most exp gym in whg.

Kensington gym I never tried, have heard anytime gym is better.

thanks for the input..Kensington seems to be a good spot, especially after peak time, through my work i got a big discount....THE GYM...(no modern fancy stuff here just what matters)it is awesom but no good showers/changing rooms and i do like a good sauna after a work out. i will however go and check the pools out! cheers
