How we picked these

  • Data: each business's Google rating and number of Google reviews, read by hand from Google Maps. Every card shows the date we read it.
  • Score: everyone is scored the same way. The sum is score = (v ÷ (v + 20)) × R + (20 ÷ (v + 20)) × C, where R is the rating, v the review count and C the average rating across all gyms we've rated (4.93). A few perfect reviews can't beat hundreds of very good ones.
  • Minimum: at least 15 Google reviews to be ranked. Ties go to the business with more reviews, then alphabetical.
  • Licence check: there's no licence register for this trade, so ranking is on review data alone.
  • This list: 10 businesses researched, 10 with a Google rating found, 10 ranked.

FAQ

How much does a gym cost in Wellington?

Prices depend on the job, materials and timing, so we don't publish a single figure. Ask two or three businesses for written quotes that set out what is included, and compare like with like.

How did you choose these businesses?

We rank businesses on their Google rating and number of Google reviews, using a weighted average that rewards many good reviews over a few perfect ones. A business needs at least 15 Google reviews to be ranked. The full formula is on our How we rank page.

Do businesses pay to be on this list?

No. No business can pay to be listed or ranked, and we do not use affiliate links.

I run one of these businesses. How do I correct something?

Corrections are free. Use the contact page to tell us what is wrong and how we can check it, and we will review it.
