Redroom Wellness is a boutique fitness studio tucked onto the lowest level of City Works Depot in the heart of Auckland CBD — find Shed 15/90 on Wellesley Street West, right beside Phin cafe. The studio describes itself as Auckland's chicest boutique fitness space, with every detail considered and an atmosphere matched to each session.
What sets Redroom apart is its founding belief that true wellness comes from balancing movement with recovery. Classes are designed to challenge the body, while recovery experiences restore the nervous system — supporting how you feel long after you leave the studio. The City Works space is home to the studio's signature heated Pilates classes alongside Red Light Therapy, supporting recovery, circulation and overall wellbeing as part of your wellness ritual.
The timetable moves across three currents: Rest & Recover, with ThermoYin yoga, guided meditation and red light therapy to unwind and recharge; Strength & Intensity, with dynamic strength training, HIIT Pilates and hot yoga to build power and endurance; and Movement & Flow, with breath-led practices that enhance flexibility and focus. Every class welcomes all levels — instructors guide with clarity and offer modifications throughout, so first-timers and seasoned practitioners can move at their own pace.
The experience extends well beyond the workout. Studios are shoe-free, showers come stocked with body wash, and lockers, complimentary deodorant, hair tools and styling products help you leave feeling fresh. Newcomers can start with an intro offering of five classes across two weeks, and the studio runs regular events for its growing community.
On the lowest level of City Works Depot — tucked beside Phin cafe at Shed 15/90 Wellesley Street West — Redroom Wellness has made its mark as one of Auckland CBD's most distinctive boutique fitness studios. The studio calls itself the city's chicest, and the space backs up the claim: every detail is carefully considered, with an atmosphere designed to match whatever session you walk in for.
But polish is only part of the story. Redroom is built around a simple belief: true wellness comes from balancing movement with recovery. Classes are designed to challenge the body, while recovery experiences restore the nervous system — supporting how you feel long after you leave the studio. Here, strength, restoration and community exist in equal measure.
Heated movement is the heartbeat of the City Works studio. Its signature heated Pilates classes sit at the centre of the timetable, surrounded by the studio's Thermo family of sessions. ThermoSculpt connects breath with movement, enhancing flexibility and improving focus through a mindful moving meditation. ThermoTone and ThermoBurn sit on the Strength & Intensity side of the timetable, sculpting the body and building power and endurance through dynamic strength training and HIIT-style work. ThermoYin Yoga offers the counterweight: a Rest & Recover practice to unwind, heal and recharge. RRFlow rounds things out, linking breath with flow.
Every class welcomes all levels of experience. Instructors guide with clarity and offer modifications throughout, so whether it's your first class or your fiftieth, you can move at your own pace with confidence.
City Works is also home to Red Light Therapy — short sessions on clinically tested infrared panels that support muscle recovery, boost circulation, reduce inflammation and promote cellular repair. Many members slot a session in after class to help their bodies adapt and get the most from their training. (For full contrast therapy, the studio's Takapuna location adds sauna and ice bath experiences to the mix.)
The experience is seamless from arrival to exit. Check in at reception and meet your instructor, who will guide first-timers through everything and offer modifications for any injuries or limitations. Studios are shoe-free, and doors lock when class begins to protect the focus and energy inside — so arrive at least ten minutes early.
Afterwards, everything you need is on hand: showers with body wash, secure lockers, and complimentary deodorant, hair tools and styling products. A filtered water tap keeps bottles topped up, electrolytes are stocked at reception, and mats and towels are available to rent if you forget yours.
