Hey WGN Peeps,

Can someone tell me where there's a good gym in Wellington City. Im gonna be down there for a few days and cant miss my daily grip and rip hahaha

Cheers

Kinda depends on budget and where in the city you'll be, but you've got a few choices:

Exodus - up Tory St, does casual memberships $25/day; kinda glitzy, reasonably well equipped esp for machines, but not too much free in the way of free weights.

City Fitness - Johnsonville, Thorndon near railway station, Porirua, does casual memberships at (I want to say $20/day but I'm guessing)

Les Mills (of course) - Two Wellington locations (the Terrace and Taranaki St near Courtenay Place) plus Lower Hutt. Don't know if they do day trips, but I'd imagine so.

Of course, there's the Powerhouse, and also Club Physical and Sportswide....

Used to work at CF, was either $18 or $20 for a casual, not worth it really

True, until you pay $25 at Exodus and can't get enough plates for a decent squat.... kinda depends on what you want, really....

CF Thorndon's prob better value-for-money than J'ville, the squat racks down in the basement are dodgy and the plates are a mismatched hodge-podge.

Never been to J'Ville but used thorndon once, I was stoked on it, had a good atmosphere, had Big Bad Justin on the leg extension next to me and we exchanged pleasantries and had a few short chats which helps. Especially good compared to Kapiti CF. So to all you Thorndon kids, not knocking your gym haha
