Joined late 2022 and enjoying it. Good vibes and great gear.

🏆 Family Action Verdict

A regular member describes great gear, good vibes, and a constant comfortable temperature from the adjacent pool. A casual visitor found the day pass — covering pool, sauna, and spa alongside the gym — strong value for families combining a swim with fitness. The Parents and Bubs class is a practical option for caregivers with infants.

“During my holiday, I utilised the Waitai gym to maintain my fitness. The gym staff are friendly though sometimes the reception aren't consistent with their customer approach, getting charged different amounts as a casual visit, being asked to fill out a form everytime I visit, and then told I don't to fill a form, etc. The gym equipment is basic, and there is a limited amount of machinery to what I'm used to. Peak time must be busy. The casual visit pass enables access to the pool, sauna & spa also which was $15.00. They have a stair lift for accessibility. Overall, the experience has been good.”

“Very convenient if you want to use pools as well. A good range of equipment and very well laid out. Upstairs are the training machines and a room for fitness classes and down stairs is the weight room. The down side is the stairs. Not the most user-friendly stairs around.”
