How to Get the Cheapest Gym Membership in NZ

- Ask about student, under-23, senior, or community rates — Les Mills gives under-23s 20% off
- January and June are promo-heavy months — gyms compete hard for New Year and mid-year joiners
- Consider an annual upfront payment — some gyms give 1–2 months free for annual commitments
- Use ClassPass free first month to trial several studios before deciding on a permanent gym
- Corporate rates: check with your employer's HR — Les Mills and Anytime Fitness both offer employer discount schemes
- Avoid paid PT packages until you've been going 3+ months — they're the #1 upsell that blows gym budgets
