More than a gym.
Auckland's facility.
For over 80 years, The Olympic Pools & Fitness Centre has been the place where Auckland swims, trains, recovers, and connects. We're not just a gym — we're part of the city's story.
Everything under
one roof.
The Olympic Pools & Fitness Centre is Auckland's most complete health and fitness facility. We have a 50-metre heated pool, a fully-equipped gym, group fitness classes every day, personal trainers, sauna, steam room, and a spa pool — all in the heart of Newmarket.
We opened in 1940 as New Zealand's very first 50-metre swimming pool, and we've been growing ever since. In 1994 the facility was enclosed and modernised, and today we offer something truly unique — a world-class aquatic and fitness centre that serves everyone from serious athletes to people just getting started.
Whether you're swimming laps at 6am, taking a lunchtime yoga class, or unwinding in the spa after a long week — this is your place.

Every single day.
We believe fitness isn't one-size-fits-all. The Olympic is for the early morning swimmer, the lunchtime class regular, the person returning after years away, and the competitive athlete who needs a proper 50-metre pool. Everyone is welcome here — no judgment, no intimidation, just a great facility and a community that supports you.
We're open every day including public holidays, because your health and fitness doesn't take days off.
Community First
We're part of Newmarket and part of Auckland. We've been serving this community for over 80 years and that relationship means everything to us.
Open to Everyone
From casual swimmers to serious athletes, beginners to regulars — The Olympic is for everyone at every stage of their fitness journey.
No Compromises
We maintain world-class facilities at prices that make sense. You shouldn't have to choose between quality and value.
Always Here
Open 7 days a week including public holidays. We work around your schedule, not the other way around.
Refuel at the
Aqua Cafe.
Right here in the building, the Aqua Cafe is the perfect spot to refuel before or after your session. Think fresh food, great coffee, smoothies, and snacks that make sense for an active lifestyle.
We also have a swim shop at reception stocked with Aqualine goggles, caps, kickboards, and accessories — so even if you forget something, we've got you covered.
