492467 2006-10-18 21:18:00 Hi,

There's a few of us wanting to start using the gym in Auckland. We are wondering if there are any gyms around the Central Auck/Central West Auck area that you can pay for whenever you decide to go.

We're not keen on 'paying off' a membership fee, but rather pay a "one-off" fee when we do decide to go and use the gym. Yes we do realise that is probably expensive if you work out the total we've spent at the end of the year, but we're not 100% committed to attending the gym on a regular basis, hence the preference to pay a one-off entrance fee each time we go. (similar to what you can do at swimming pools)

My friend had that option at a gym in Hamilton - so far we haven't found one that does the same in Auckland.

Any help/advice would be appreciated
thanks,
caffy

492468 2006-10-18 21:44:00 I was under the impression all gyms offered casual rates. They used to. Ask them what sort of a deal they could do if x number of you want to join up as a group.

www.asbstadium.co.nz
www.lesmills.co.nz
www.fitnessstation.co.nz
www.aspirefitness.co.nz

These are just the first four search results and all say they offer casual rates (although they are hideously expensive). A longer term membership is still the best option.

492469 2006-10-19 01:57:00 why not just go to the warehouse, buy a soccer ball for $5, and go play a game of soccer at a park somewhere with your mates . . . somewhat less costly, you get to enjoy the sun, and in my opinion it's more fun :thumbs:

and if it rains either toughen up and have fun in the mud, or go find a hall somewhere (just watch those windows/lights)

i myself have a dirtbike (for when the old ball is not quite extreme enough), tis the most exhausting workout you'll ever do, and you dont even realise till the next morning - muscles you didnt even know you had get sore :D

492472 2006-10-20 00:32:00 Nah, I'm on the other island, nowhere near Waikato. I'm not exactly an enduro rider, either. ;)

Have fun. :cool:

492473 2006-10-20 02:54:00 aw but they're the best. heaps of riding for little money.

i'd rather 25 bucks for a whole day than 60-90 for a discontinous hour

and i'm not exactly in the waikato either, but a bit nearer than you are lol

Thanks for that, will look into that. Sorry for the late reply, have been away in Dunedin for the weekend playing sports.
