Commercial fitness activities refer to classes held on public land where participants pay trainers or instructors for their services.
We ask that group trainers get a licence to ensure our public spaces are well-managed with no damage to the environment or facilities.
Examples of fitness groups include:
- gym sessions
- circuit training
- boot camps
- boxing and pad training.
Running, cycling, and walking groups that are not commercial in nature don't need a licence.
To get your fitness class licence you may need the following, depending on your activity.
- A health and safety plan. Have a think about how you intend to keep your group and our public places safe.
- We want to keep Wellington beautiful, so we recommend a plan for managing your waste if your activity generates any.
- We also recommend public liability insurance.
