Snap Fitness Wellington CBD is a locally owned, 24/7 gym on Willeston Street in the heart of the city — and the newest premium 24-hour facility in the Wellington CBD. Owners Toni and Callum Holmes lead a team that includes club manager Joshua Duff and personal trainers Petr Akhmediarov, Karl Hopewell and Simon McDonald Ball, all built around a supportive, inclusive community that helps members move their body and their mood.
Members enjoy 24-hour access, every day of the week, with a big range of cardio, strength and functional training equipment plus free weights, HDTV and vending machines. Technology is woven through the experience: the Snap App helps you set your own goals and track progress, while Myzone and FunXtion add heart-rate tracking and interactive guided training.
Group classes are on the timetable — headlined by HIIT, a session using barbells, weighted plates, an aerobic step and bodyweight exercises to build strength and lean muscle — alongside personal training and nutrition consultants. Private bathrooms and private showers make it easy to train before work or during the lunch rush.
Staffed hours run Monday to Thursday 10:00am–7:00pm and Friday 10:00am–2:00pm, with weekend staffing by contact. Reciprocal membership plans provide access to all Snap Fitness clubs globally with 24/7 access, and online memberships are available to over 18s only. Tours can be scheduled by calling 027 308 1199 or emailing [email protected].
Right in the heart of Wellington's central business district, on Willeston Street, Snap Fitness Wellington CBD is the city's newest premium 24/7 gym. It opened with a clear aim: to give people a genuinely welcoming place to train at any hour, backed by a big range of equipment, knowledgeable and friendly staff, and a community that helps members move their body and their mood.
Although it carries an international name — Snap Fitness is a global network of 24/7 clubs — this location is locally owned. Toni and Callum Holmes are the club's owner/operators, and they lead a team that includes club manager Joshua Duff and personal trainers Petr Akhmediarov, Karl Hopewell and Simon McDonald Ball. That local ownership shows in how the club presents itself: less a machine hall, more a neighbourhood gym that happens to be open around the clock.
The headline feature is exactly what the sign says: 24/7. The club is open 24 hours a day to members, every day of the week. For CBD workers fitting in a session before the office, shift workers whose schedules don't fit nine-to-five, or anyone who simply prefers an empty floor late at night, that flexibility is the core of the offer.
Being in the middle of the CBD also makes it an easy fit around the working day: the club sits on Willeston Street in the city centre, so a lunchtime session or a workout on the way home doesn't require a detour.
Members get access to what Snap describes as the best range of cardio, strength and functional training equipment. Free weights sit alongside the machines, HDTV keeps longer cardio sessions moving, and vending machines handle post-workout refreshments. Because the facility is brand new, members are training on a fresh fitout rather than inherited gear — a point the club makes much of in its 'Now Open' announcement.
Technology runs through the experience. Every member gets the Snap App, which helps you set your own goals and track progress. The club also runs Myzone, the heart-rate training system that turns effort into measurable data, and FunXtion, an interactive digital training station for guided workouts. Together they give structure to solo training — useful whether you're new to the gym or training without a plan.
Group classes are on the timetable, headlined by HIIT. The class uses barbells, weighted plates, an aerobic step and bodyweight exercises to improve strength and build lean muscle — a full-body session that suits a lunchtime or after-work window. The current class schedule is available through the club directly.
For one-on-one guidance, the personal training team — Petr Akhmediarov, Karl Hopewell and Simon McDonald Ball — is available to members, and nutrition consultants can help pair training with what's on your plate. Between the coaching staff and the club manager, there's usually someone on hand during staffed hours to talk through goals, technique or programming.
The community angle is repeated throughout the club's own messaging: a supportive community, a great and inclusive feel, help to move both body and mood. For a 24-hour gym, that's the harder thing to build — access is easy, atmosphere isn't — and it's what the local owners have made their focus.
Staffed hours are Monday to Thursday from 10:00am to 7:00pm and Friday from 10:00am to 2:00pm, with weekend staffing handled by contacting the club. Outside those windows, members come and go on their 24/7 access. Private bathrooms and private showers are a genuine plus for anyone training before work or during the lunch rush, and HDTV and vending machines round out the facilities.
Membership options are a conversation rather than a price list: the website asks prospective members to complete a short form to see pricing. Two things are worth knowing up front. Reciprocal membership plans provide access to all Snap Fitness clubs globally, with 24/7 access — handy if you travel. And online memberships are available to over 18s only.
If you're curious, the club invites you to schedule a tour and see the floor for yourself — whether you're looking to change up your current fitness routine or starting fresh, in the club's own words. You'll find it at 26 Willeston Street, in the middle of the CBD, reachable on 027 308 1199 or [email protected].
