The Pemberton Centre

Fantastic experience: I teach a Tai Chi session on a Thursday here. It's run by the centre and I'm the instructor. Tai Chi is great for health and wellness. Give it a go

Negative experience: Went here for a year, was good to begin with until equipment was broken and stayed that way for long periods of time. A new membership is way too expensive now so I shall be going elsewhere

Fantastic experience: Enjoy our group of mainly like minded Ladies a few Gents also at OTAGO with the dynamic Angela new classes with Nicky.

Fantastic experience: Went to look around, good gym and equipment, keira was very helpful

Fantastic experience: Very helpful staff, wide selection of activities. Check out their website for detail

Negative experience: I had so much trouble with their App that I couldn’t book in to classes for almost a whole month. I called over 5 times about the issue and came in person twice and the last time I was stood there for 30 mins of my evening waiting for the staff to work out the issue. They found a roundabout way of booking, but not very easy. And when I asked if they could extend my membership for the time I had lost, or give me some sort of compensation one of the managers said “I’m not nice enough to do that” - you know who you are. I started a membership here through my GP to help with my Fibromyalgia and I have had nothing but stress and incompetence with them since. Will not be returning. PS - my PT, Izzy, was an absolute darling and I have nothing but praise for her.

Negative experience: The day you call these guys and they actually answer on the first ring will be a pretty amazing day. Constantly calling 4-5 times to book etc. Todays records is 17 calls and two voicemails. Edit: I ended up walking down there because I didn’t want to get charged for a late notice on a cancellation… THREE of them standing there chatting away, you couldn’t make it up. Have asked for a call back regarding something else, let’s see if that actually happens.

Fantastic experience: the best place ever. I love joining the group exercise and the Gym the best

Fantastic experience: Great staff. Good fitness advice.

Negative experience: Just called to join the gym but the woman on the phone could not give a toss and just wanted to get me off the phone as soon as possible. Shame as it was my first choice but that’s a bit of a red flag to me. I’ll go elsewhere :)

Fantastic experience: Loads of facilities, relatively cheap, loads of parking

Positive experience: It’s ok for what you pay, but a bit dirty. There’s been drops of blood on the floor in one spot for weeks, and I don’t think the floor is ever swept.

Fantastic experience: The pemberton centre is great value for money. Staff are friendly and helpful. There are also two more locations as part of the membership with a pool at both.

Positive experience: Reasonable price for membership especially since it covers splash pool too, a lot of the machines have been refurbed recently which is nice too. Not got the intimidating vibe some gyms sometimes have which is great

Negative experience: Not very clean

Positive experience: We regularly attend Jumping Jacks on a Friday morning, all my kids love it

Fantastic experience: Great place for the kids

Fantastic experience: I had a time. The time was good.

Positive experience: About time they sorted the ladies loos on the first floor. Half the cubicles permanently locked shut and only one hand dryer- for months now.

Fantastic experience: I used to do YIP here. It was great fun

Fantastic experience: Very welcoming and sorted out membership problem quickly. Good range of kit in the gym.

Fantastic experience: Great local sports centre

Fantastic experience: Very helpful and friendly staff with lots of good facilities to keep yourself fit.

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym with plenty of fantastic resources. A big special mention to Angela and Emma, who are incredible members of staff and very polite. Fantastic gym highly recommended

Positive experience: Great PT but the floor underneath wasn't great and signage disappointing.

Positive experience: Overall it’s fairly good. Can be frustrating when equipment is left broken for many weeks, floors are often dirty and some of the equipment needs some TLC. If I wasn’t on a corporate discount membership I probably wouldn’t go here, but for the corporate price it’s worth it.

Fantastic experience: Great, friendly staff everything you need in a sports centre/gym

Positive experience: Classes open now albeit socially distant

Fantastic experience: Good centre, I know covid related by so impressed seeing spin classes outside, should do more often

Positive experience: Just dropped someone off

Fantastic experience: Clean, nice staff and overall a good experience

Fantastic experience: Love this place,really friendly.

Fantastic experience: Great place to meet and exercise

Fantastic experience: Well managed

Fantastic experience: I got my hand stuck in the vending machine. I just wanted some malteasers but I had no money. Luckily this kid helped me out by removing the hand. I've never been so ashamed of myself. This kid was the key to my escape of the robbery addiction. Thank you, Pemberton Centre.

Positive experience: How old do u have to be visit 14 n over

Positive experience: Plenty to do, they have Baby sales, baby groups on Fridays, and a great gym. A great place to meet new people.

Positive experience: Gym downstairs needs a lot more attention than upstairs, free weights area very small, people leaving bags in gym in floor space and going else where as dont have money for locker, causing trip hazards.

Positive experience: Can someone tell me if u can use the new pound coins in the lockers please

Positive experience: Excellent gym and facilities, slightly overpriced for gym and some sports use, but would recommend still for quality of the venue as a whole

Fantastic experience: Excellent for functions, events and general well being and fitness, reasonably priced too

Positive experience: Really good but old people moan at y for no RESON but the gym and staff are lovely
