AUT Gym City Campus is the university gym inside the WQ Building at AUT's City Campus, 39 Wakefield Street in central Auckland, and it holds a 4.3 rating on Google. Campus gyms tend to be practical, straightforward places, and they usually follow the academic day: busiest before lectures, around lunchtime and after five, calmest mid-morning and during semester breaks. When choosing a gym, visit at the hour you would actually train, checking that there is enough rack and free-weight space for the peak, that the changing rooms are clean, and that someone will show a newcomer the ropes. An induction and a simple, repeatable programme beat an ambitious plan abandoned by week three. For AUT students and staff, and for locals after an unfussy city workout, this well-rated gym puts training a few steps from the lecture theatres.
