NZ Gym Guide

Brand at a Glance

Jetts NZ positions itself as a budget‑friendly, 24/7 gym with no joining fee and no long‑term contract. It offers basic strength equipment, free weights and parking, making it a solid choice for members who want flexibility and a straightforward workout space. Float Well NZ, on the other hand, is a boutique wellness centre focused on recovery therapies – floatation tanks, an infrared sauna and a cold plunge. It does not provide traditional gym equipment or group classes, but it excels at stress relief, sleep improvement and post‑exercise recovery.

Price, Contracts & Cancellation

Jetts charges $14.95–$19.95 per week depending on the city and whether you opt for the standard or premium package. There is no joining fee and no contract – you can cancel at any time with a 14‑day notice. Float Well’s pricing starts at $25.00 per week for a basic membership that includes unlimited float sessions and sauna access; premium tiers go up to $80.00 per week for added contrast therapy and guest passes. Both brands advertise $0 joining fees, but Float Well requires advance booking for each session. Eligible New Zealanders may qualify for the Exercise NZ subsidy, which can reduce the weekly cost by 40–70 % for either provider, subject to eligibility criteria.

Facilities & Services

Jetts delivers the essentials for a functional workout: free weights, cardio machines, a small selection of resistance equipment and 24/7 access. Personal training is available at an extra cost, but there are no group classes or specialised recovery zones. Float Well offers a completely different suite – a 500 kg Epsom‑salt float tank, an infrared sauna heated to 70 °C, and a cold plunge kept at 7–8 °C. Guest passes are included in higher tiers, and the centre provides a quiet, meditative environment ideal for athletes seeking post‑training recovery. However, you won’t find any dumbbells or squat racks at Float Well.

Locations & 24/7 Access

Jetts operates in selected cities across New Zealand, with a focus on suburban strips and shopping centre locations. Its 24/7 model means you can work out any time, and most sites provide free parking. Float Well is currently limited to a flagship centre in Wellington’s CBD, with plans for a second site pending. Access is by appointment only during opening hours (typically 7 am–10 pm), so it does not offer true 24/7 flexibility. If you need a gym close to home or work, Jetts’ broader footprint gives it an edge.

Verdict – Which Is Right for You?

It suits beginners, budget‑conscious members and anyone who wants a no‑strings‑attached gym experience. Float Well is best for athletes, frequent travellers or anyone prioritising recovery, stress relief and sleep quality over traditional strength training. Consider your primary goal: a functional gym routine → Jetts; a dedicated recovery routine → Float Well. Both can be made more affordable through the Exercise NZ subsidy, so check your eligibility before signing up.
