Key fob access is genuinely convenient. I travel for work and being able to use my membership in multiple NZ cities is a huge advantage. Worth the cost for that alone.

Love the 24/7 access and the small club feel. Never overcrowded, always clean. Perfect for early morning sessions before the office.

Finally a gym where I feel completely comfortable! The women-only environment makes such a difference. The 30-minute circuit is perfect for busy mums โ€” in, done, and home.
