Cityfitness Newlands

Wellington

CityFitness’s flagship fitness center in Wellington underwent a remarkable transformation, turning a vacant trucking logistics warehouse into a vibrant modern gym. Catalyst’s interior and architectural team faced the challenge of converting nearly 5,000m² of space into a bespoke fitness hub while ensuring it met CityFitness's parking requirements and maintaining a strong visual presence.

Project Information

The original layout of the warehouse presented a unique challenge, but Catalyst designed a dynamic new entryway by demolishing the existing dockway. The interior was thoughtfully divided to accommodate both gym facilities and internal parking. Collaborating closely with fire engineering consultants, the team navigated the complexities of changing the building's use with the Council, delivering a cost-effective and spatially efficient solution.

Now, the facility stands as the second largest CityFitness gym in New Zealand, featuring state-of-the-art equipment, a ride studio, high-intensity training and group fitness studios, as well as dedicated yoga and Pilates spaces. With ample modern showers, lockers, and restroom facilities, this revitalized center provides an exceptional fitness experience for its members.
