Wellington - Post Report Question and Answers

What kinds of gyms or other sports/workout facilities are available? Are they expensive?

All kinds of fitness opportunities, similar to the states. Unusual to find gyms with childcare. Affordable. - Jan 2021

New Zealand is often described as a sport-crazy country, but that doesn't necessarily imply athleticism. Many fans are content to sit on the couch, drink beer and watch cricket on the telly. Gyms are generally available, although they vary wildly in terms of quality. Plan to pay about $15 NZD per week for something that resembles a hotel fitness center with equally limited opening hours. There is no gym at the Embassy, and no showers are available for the bike commuters or lunchtime runners. - Mar 2016
