Les Mills Britomart
I got contacted by Les Mills Britomart on the weekend and they asked me if I would be keen to give their gym a whirl. I decided that I would even though I suspected I wouldn’t be joining long term.
I’ve been a member of the gym at my work (I work at the University of Auckland) for years and it’s ok. It’s got everything I need but it is a student gym so it’s not particularly flash. However, it is extremely convenient as it takes me bugger all time to get to before or after work.
This gym is about 2 and a bit km away so it’s about a 15 minute walk each way. This is quite nice as it is a good warm up and cool down but I could imagine if it was raining then it would be rather annoying.
The gym itself was very nice. It’s quite a different demographic to the Uni one as it is what I would consider rather pricey. Just for comparison purposes its about 3-4 times the price of my current gym.
The equipment is very nice however. The cardio machines are fantastic as they have touchscreen tvs, ipod docks, pretty graphs and games built in. I didn’t use the TV but I did enjoy seeing my heart rate, speed and incline graphs while running on the treadmill.
My physio has ordered me to cycle (and I hate indoor cycling!) but the 30 minutes I did today flew by as I discovered some maths games and was quite happily doing those and was actually annoyed when the half hour on the bike was up.
Overall I enjoyed my visit and I’ll be going back a few more times but I don’t think I could justify the price for a full membership. The gear and stuff at my current gym is not quite as nice or advanced but it gets the job done for a lot less money. It is also really hard to beat the convenience factor.
