What are some nationwide gyms which are good value for money and are decent for a newb?

Looking to join one to get fit and tank up a bit before the football season

Les Mills give high school kids 60% off. I know this because I have just researched it for a bunch of lads I coach.

They also offer short term (6 month) contracts at that price if you're a high school kid.

Pretty sweet deal.

Incredible stamina. No shame. Yellow Fever.

Do it before your id expires. They expire about end of Jan, early Feb. If you sign up with it before it does then your sweet.

Also have a look into the council gyms at Qe2, or in your case Centennial or that other pool I can't remember the name of. They were the cheapest I found when I lived there.

I bought Stefan a gym membership for xmas. They let me give him a Student deal because he was 18 at the time. Even though he turned 19 on the 27th and I did it on the 23rd or something. You should be able to get one with your school ID though.

Stefan hit up the local gyms. I worked for Wharanui for awhile, cheap and good staff and support. Les Mills like to give it to you in the bum. Actually that was just one personal trainer I met, but that's a story for another time.

Canty Uni gym is also best bet. Aim for somewhere local though bro, a 30minute drive can be the most unmotivating factor in the world.

At the moment i'm at Vic Uni gym, because summer is cheap + stuff all people using it. But when I graduate and uni goes back in the next month or so i'm moving to somewhere in town, paid for by work...brilliant.

I think you can get into Lincoln Uni for a fee. Just like any other gym.

I'm about 15 mins drive from Lincoln in the opposite direction. No word on rego yet but I'm gonna start heading down to training next week. Although there's been no word on that either so it'll probably just be kicking around with the old boys.

Powerhouse is supposed to be good. I go to Sportswide - cheap and has free weights, which is all you need, but only one squat rack.

(Machines are for pussies).
I like tautologies because I like them.
