We’re carrying out a full refresh of both the men’s and women’s changing rooms, improving the overall look, functionality, and comfort of the space.

Men's changing room is now open and Women's changing room is opening this Wednesday 30 September. 


HOT. COLD. VERY COOL


Bigger, better men's and women's saunas, along with a dedicated cold plunge pool. It’s the perfect setup for improved recovery, a mood boost, and that fresh, clear-headed feeling you can’t fake. Best of all, it’s all included in your membership.



Recovery, Backed by Science


Sauna and cold plunge therapy are powerful recovery tools that support your body and mind. Regular heat and cold exposure has been linked to improved cardiovascular health, faster recovery, increased stress resilience, better metabolic health, and enhanced mental wellbeing. The greatest benefits come from consistent use over time - there's no need to push to extremes. Listen to your body, stay hydrated, and build up gradually to make thermal therapy a sustainable part of your recovery routine.


FAQS


What’s happening at Auckland City right now?

We’re currently underway with a full refresh of both the men’s and women’s changing rooms to improve the look, functionality, and comfort of the spaces. Plus a men's and women's new sauna and a mixed cold plunge pool. 

  • Men's canging room is now complete.
  • Mens sauna is open.
  • Womens changing room is due to be completed 30 September.
  • Womens sauna and the mixed cold plunge pool are due to open late October. 
Will the changing rooms be closed?

We’re staging the work so that you’ll continue to have access to changing facilities throughout the project.
There will be temporary closures of certain areas at different times as work progresses.

What disruption should I expect?

As work progresses, some areas within the changing rooms will be temporarily closed, including showers, toilets, and vanity spaces.
Signage in the club will help guide you to available facilities, and alternative showers and toilets are available in other areas, including in the Group Fitness building at the base of the stairs, and near CONQUER®.
We appreciate your patience while we carry out these improvements.

Will there be temporary facilities?

We won’t be installing temporary changing rooms, but alternative showers and toilets are available throughout the club.

What’s happening with the saunas and recovery facilities?

We’re enhancing recovery facilities as part of the upgrade. There will be new, expanded saunas in both the men’s and women’s changing rooms and a brand new mixed plunge pool.

Are there plans for additional facilities at Auckland City?

We’re exploring a number of future enhancements at Auckland City. These are in early stages and subject to further planning and approvals. Potential plans include:
-    Dedicated Mind Body studios (e.g. Reformer)
-    Expanded HYROX training spaces, including outdoor areas
-    Additional recovery features such as plunge pools
-    A new 25m pool and expanded aquatic facilities
These facilities are yet to be confirmed.

What’s happening with the 25m pool?

Planning for a pool is still in early stages, and resource consent has not yet been lodged. Timing for construction is yet to be confirmed. 

Where would the new pool be located?

The proposed pool would be located on the neighbouring Victoria Street West site owned by Les Mills.

Why is work happening on the neighbouring site?

The adjacent site is currently being used to support construction, including access and site offices for the current upgrade works.

Why is Les Mills investing in recovery facilities at Auckland City?

We’re expanding our recovery facilities to better support your overall wellbeing, alongside traditional fitness training.
These spaces are designed to help you rest, recover, and recharge – whether you’re using them after a workout or on a rest day – as part of a more balanced approach to health and fitness.
