Workouts with the best music in New Zealand

Try ClassPass Learn about our methodology

The music and energy scene in New Zealand runs wider than most people expect. Across 10 ClassPass partners and 1,480 verified member reviews collected between January 2025 to February 2026, the city's top studios with standout music and energy span cycling, dance fitness, Lagree from Auckland to Silverdale, and the data makes clear which venues are earning repeat visits, not just first-time curiosity.

The rating range of 4.67 - 4.96 across these studios signals a market with real depth. Reform Fitness, in Auckland tops the list, but the gap between first and last here is smaller than you'd find in most cities. That's a sign of a competitive landscape, not a thin one, and a good problem for ClassPass members to have.
