Les Mills Auckland City is the flagship club of the Les Mills fitness group, at 186 Victoria St W in the heart of Auckland's CBD. Open since 1968, rated 4.5 on Google and billed as the largest gym in New Zealand, it pairs a huge floor of cardio and weights equipment with signature group classes such as CEREMONY, CONQUER and THE TRIP. Choosing a gym is largely about timing: visit when you would actually train, since a floor that feels roomy at lunchtime can be packed at 5.30pm. Group classes suit anyone short on motivation, as a fixed timetable and an instructor leading the room build consistency. Newcomers to weights do well to book a session with a trainer early on, and anyone training before work should check the showers and lockers. For CBD office workers and apartment dwellers, this Victoria St W club puts a full-scale gym within an easy walk of work and home.
