Reviews of Freyberg Pool & Fitness Centre

Convenient location with heaps of parks. Sadly they allowed water aerobics 3 lanes leaving only 2 lanes for swimming and 1 lane for aqua jogging. Swimming was nearly impossible as both lanes had many swimmers of various speeds making it congested. 2 spa pools that albeit small, were empty of people and a great place to relax. Helpful staff.

Bright sunlit indoor pool, friendly helpful staff and clean modern sometimes busy pool. Beware a few patron can be somewhat territorial, oblivious to their own speed fast or slow and appropriate swim levels lanes, but generally a very friendly environment and happy to recommend.

I swim here regularly. It's not usually crowded and had 7 lanes, sauna, 2x spas, steamroom, and full gym facility available

The pool and surrounds were nice and clean but the offerings could be a bit modernized. Ie, lockers, swim suit drying machine, etc. Overall, it’s a great pool to get some distance in, it’s a 33 1/3 meter pool. Also, on Fridays, they shut the pool from 530-830pm for a private event...learned that after I paid my 6 bucks :/

Iconic building in a great location. Swim, go to the gym, & enjoy views of the harbour from the spa.

Loved it has great staff nice and cheerful They are wearing masks to protect clients and themselves always putting people first

I absolutely love this leisure centre...work out and have a view of the ocean, sit in the hot tub and or sauna and you feel like your on holiday somewhere exotic. The staff are great to super helpful and friendly! I would highly recommend!

I absolutely love this place! Awesome views of the ocean whilst you work out and relax in the hot pools. You can go in the sauna and then go and dip in the ocean. Friendly staff and personal trainers, Tuku is the best!

Very busy, this place has lots of activities for families, and places to buy food 👍

As a business traveller, I find this place almost perfect for my needs. Take the 7day pass which is incredibly reasonable for what you get. The pool is great. It’s never crowded and if it is busy, the locals are really friendly (no lane rage). I noticed some new equipment this week which was a welcome surprise as well. Some of the younger staff could improve their interpersonal skills but that’s about it.

Right next to Oriental Bay Beach the location is perfect for that freshwater swim to cool off after a vigorous jogging or dog-walking session on the beach or esplanade. The glass building has a very attractive style that stands out as a distinctive landmark for miles around. Indoors the facilities are very good and well maintained, and staff's dedication to service is par excellence. After working up an appetite from your swim there is no shortage of options for breakfast or lunch as there is a good selection of cafes offering great coffee and an appetising menu along this stretch of the Parade.

. (01/2018) A well-equipped fitness centre which includes swimming pool, spa / hot tub, sauna, gym / exercise section and shower, of course. Conveniently located over Oriental Bay and can be easily spotted on the roadside. Well maintained and regularly cleaned / operated to maintain the hygiene. Energetic ambiance. Staff and service experience may vary depending on your interaction with different staff personnel. This place can get very busy in evenings, weekends and holidays. There is also a cafe alongside for quick feed. This is a community centre and discounted rates are available for most of the sections. The membership rates are even better. Beautiful views around of harbour. Good place for quick relaxing sessions. Spacious parking area. Wheelchair parking is available. Public restrooms are available and the change rooms are next to them.

I don't go swimming here I use the wharf for fishing which is awesome for little ones to learning how to catxh a fish so if you are reading this... Take you babies and park up for the day. if they get bored theres sand and water and a playground. make sure to bring some food as the little cafe only has ice cream drinks and a couple of baked goods!

Great pool for doing laps. Steam room was really nice and hot - thoroughly enjoyed. Friendly staff.

It's an alright place to go but it's very pricey for a casual session ($25 from memory). I only wanted it for the gym so it was alot for 30 minutes use. However the facilities are nice and clean and the gym looks down into the pool and surrounding harbour. Great staff.

I have been lane swimming her during office hours for the last couple of months. Never busy and always clean. I also definitely recommend the spacious sauna and the spa including the nice vie over the harbour and bay. Also real nice coffee in front of the pool.

Enjoyable! Only lame thing was that I paid for the pool swimming ($6) and then I went back out and asked to pay for the sauna, spa and steam room and they said that would be $15 And I said I'd already paid for swimming and they were like okay we'll let it slide this time and only charged me $10, but my friends paid $15 at the beginning. So I still ended up paying more than they did by a little.

Friendly staff and patrons. A 33.33m x 6 lanes pool overlooked by great gym facilities plus a view of the Harbour. Best to avoid peak times. 0800 to 1600 hours is a good time to swim weekdays.

For a community recreation centre, this place is great. Clean, well maintained and all the facilities you'd expect. Awesome hole in the wall cafe too. I particularly enjoy the spa, and the view it affords across the harbour. Well priced membership and subsidy scheme.

Wonderful spa, sauna and steam room, and very reasonably priced! Have come here for the past two months and love the $10 deal for All Hotspots & No Swim. I'd give the place a 5-Star rating, but my only drawback is the rather invasive changing rooms, in which there are no private cubicles for the more anxious individuals. Not everyone is comfortable undressing in plain sight. 😂

Way too overpriced, $6.30 was alright for a swim but then you need to pay an extra $5 if you want to use the spa/sauna/steam EACH. Then you realise how tiny the spas are which is definitely not worth $5. Next time I'll just swim in the ocean. 3 stars because the pools are kept clean and the staff are nice.

Fantastic facility. I would like to thank James for his outstanding customer service, friendly and helpful manner which is so nice when you are from out of town.

This is the best central city pool for lane swimming and exercise. Its 33metres and has slow, medium and fast swimming lanes. There's a gym area upstairs with machines for fitness training also. It's in a great location right next to Freyberg beach and theres plenty of public parking available. There's also a small cafe in the entranceway selling great coffee. I think its $5.50 per single adult entry swim.

Going to the pools can be a lot of fun but it's much more satisfying after a run or a sauna. After a swim you can jump in the spa and soak for a little to relax. On top of all of this there's a built in cafe, excellent service and staff, and everything required for family fun or a solo swim.

Been coming here since the late 80's, they have consistently improved the facilities, great spot to go. As an avid climber I would love to see a little effort put into improving the climbing wall at the rear in the future, given its future place at the Olympics, what a great venue to have!

Ok I like this place. The main pools don't get filled up with screaming brats, it's peaceful and spacious. The steam room is so relaxing, and the hot baths are great. But when I'm sleeping after leaving the steam room after a steam, the staff should not wake me up. It's annoying and unwanted. Having said that, I still recommend Freyburg Pools. Reasonably priced and also comes with a gym.

Awesome sauna - use the sea as a plunge pool. Great pool - 33m I think? Long enough, anyway. Nice staff. Steam room and spa too. And some great yoga teachers too. See you there!

Great pool and play area for the kids. Reasonably priced and staff are very helpful.

This pool is super- clean and well organized. There is an open air feeling to it because of the high side windows. Very convenient to downtown hotels, right on the harbor. We were in town traveling, I’d love to swim here on a regular basis!

I have swum many times at Freyberg Pool over the years. There is one pool which is 33.3m long. It is often busy with swim squads especially in the late afternoon and early evening. The change rooms are clean and well organized. The admission charges are reasonable for the standard of facilities.

Cheap and it has lane swimming and a sauna

Good place for a sociable spa they are like the ones for home 2 of them cant help but end uo chatting to people in there with you, good coffee outside you get a liittle stick of choclate with it right on the esplanade beautuful view across the water. Metred parking out front heaps of them get yr carpark spot number put it in the machine and stick in credit card or eftpos cheap for an hr.5 star

Well equipped gym. Far price for a seven day pass. Not busy for my first visit Friday afternoon. Friendly staff. I look forward to trying the full length pool.

Good work Freyberg 100% for clean and good service

It's never been too crowded when I was here in the evening, not the kind of pool for messing around it's more like an exercise centre. Has gym equipment, steam room & sauna too. Great that they have consessions and it's ran pretty well, staff are pretty casual.

A great complex. (Pool, sauna, steam room, spa). I only used the pool which was clean and a nice temperature to swim in.

Best pool in Wellington for 33m lane swimming. Gym has best views of Wellington! Nice clean facility, friendly helpful staff. Note this is not so much a recreational pool for kids. WRAC is better for that.

Just been for physio, a work out, swim and hot pool followed by a delicious smoothie at Bernies cafe. This is a world class facility with experienced professional and friendly staff with unrivalled sea and city views in a prime location.

After a long flight best place to stretch out the limbs enjoy the spa with the view of the sea. Friendly staff the little cafe out front is on point and the coffee is amazing

Went only once when I was there on holiday and it was very easy to navigate. Clean and spacious changing room, big pool with lanes which are specified (slow, medium, fast) and helpful staff.

Good swimming place, great sauna as well. For the die-hards it's possible to swim in the bay first and than have a good time in the sauna. Recommended.

Shout out to kelly and josh, personal fitness trainers here that always go the extra mile. Real great place to work out, for the amount I pay each week I think Its an amazing deal the amount I get out of this place.

Great place! Fresh and friendly staff. A bit shallow pool in the beginning, but whatever. Water was not superfast. They even had a sauna. :-)

Not too busy at 6:00 AM for lane swim.

The Freyberg has a long history of keeping people happy and fit. The water quality is 100% and the staff get the same rating. Scotties car rentals can confidently recommend the Freyberg on any day for a good swim.

If your into lane swimming this is the place for u. They also hv spa, sauna and steam rooms alongwith an are for yoga classes and Aqua jogging groups The food and coffee is very tasty.

Great fitness facility! Awesome atmosphere! As a Triathlete it's the perfect training base. Swimming & gym inside, sea swimming, cycling & running outside.

Didn't go there, went sailing out of Wellington Ocean Sports and it was awesome! $50 for an hour and a half. Great deal.

Good changing room facilities. Could do with a couple more pool lanes (they can get quite full), but you can check how many lanes are available on the city council website.

Great clean facilities that are well maintained, the suana is great.

Lane swimming, gym, sauna, steam room and said. Nice sunfilled design. Would get 5 stars if eucalyptus oil was allowed in the sauna.

Freyberg has all the essentials. Gym, pool, sauna, steam room and spas overlooking the harbour. Conveniently placed in central Wellington, and you can get a great snack or fresh juice from Bernies cafe on your way out.

Enjoy coming to the sauna, sometimes it can get a little crowded, but it's a good deal overall!

Temporary pool lane closure Commonwealth bronze medallist Lewis Clareburt will be doing 1:1 training with Ian Thorpe’s former coach Doug Frost at Freyberg Pool in preparation for the Pan Pacific Games. Lewis will be using one of our lanes between 4pm–6pm Monday to Thursday and 3.30pm-5.30pm on Fridays, until Friday 27 July. There will be no aqua jogging between these times. This is only temporary, and we will continue to have aqua jogging outside of these times – but we apologise for any inconvenience it may cause in the interim.

it's ok, just one lap pool, no relaxing areas. Changing room/showers etc need an upgrade, not the best layout and all getting pretty tired.

Wide lanes for covid management this weekend. Always clean

Bit humid and chlorine strong on the inside, and I don't like the changing rooms, but then I'm not a big pool fan. I do like the location.

Good parking. Clean facility that focuses on lane swimming. Gym, sauna and spa pools also available.

I used the place to take a shower and noticed the restroom doesn't have lockers. Apart of that problem It is a very good place

Really well Maintained place. But annoyed about how much the hotspot band costs though. Overall pretty positive feedback from me. Would go again

Fantastic location & friendly staff

Good pool for laps and regular swimming exercise, staff place out buoyancy weights and maintain the pool facilities well. (Leisure Card useful here)

Great coffee at Bernie's

I have never been inside the pool or gym, but the place is a beautiful piece of architecture and has a nice cafe called Bernie's.

Right by Oriental Bay, lovely view of the bay from the hot tubs on the balcony above the pool. A good experience for pool swimming and nice clean water.

Awesome facilities with the added bonus of a sauna and spa or gym workout if you prefer. Downside is you have to pay for each one individually 😞

First visit a bit nippy though. I would rather swim inside than out in the sea.

Great pool but very busy as you would expect in central wellington. Come in the middle of the day and avoid mornings and evenings

Wet az 💦💦

Had a fun day with the Grand children and very helpful staff and the toilets and change rooms were very clean

An excellent option for fitness near the city centre. Also good for relaxing with friends or even colleagues after a demanding day.

Always been looked after fantastically by the staff and had some amazing times and conversations and experiences at the center.

Pool can be a bit cold and often too busy but clean and friendly staff and lots of facilities

I visit my chiropractor here, who works out of an office within the gym. Handy location, with easy and convenient parking nearby.

Great pool for a swim, and changing rooms useful for a sea swim.

Still fixing the toddler pool which is disappointing but reasonable facilities overall

Used to when I worked near by. It was sufficient great to have a decent poor around.

An awesome place to relax in the pool or spa after walking around the waterfront

Not open, when I was last there, because people are away.

Food was pretty good and so was the price. I'll be going back at some point.

No machine for shoulders, however all the others stuffs were alright for me

Clean. Efficient. Reasonable charges. Busy but not too busy.
