Best Fitness & Leisure Centres

Be very careful, pricing is vague and will catch you out! I took advantage of the advertised $99 intro offer I saw on Facebook (50% off) but was… Read more

charged $198. I queried this and sent them a screenshot of the advertised pricing on their website which states I would get to use 2 pieces of equipment, the massage suit and a bike, in the session. I was told the intro offer was only for use of one piece of equipment and because I used 2 pieces of equipment I pay double. This was never once explained to me or a choice offered during my 3 visits. I was only offered a choice of a lay down or an upright bike. I did argue this point and the very next day was sent a screen shot of the NEW website wording that they had obviously changed after my complaint!! They could clearly see the confusion and promptly acted, no offer of a refund or an apology, in fact denying the words had been changed just to insult me more. If this was a 50% deal then it's a very very expensive activity. In my final session I was not even hooked up to a heart rate monitor. If you plan to try it make sure prices are explained CLEARLY before you start. I have attached a screenshot of the website wording on 12/11/25 and then the new wording on 14/11/25 after my complaint about the price confusion.

Xclusive Female Fitness – Xclusive Female Fitness Club is an absolute gem! From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted with warmth and positivity. The environment here is so… Read more

inviting, making every workout session a joy. And let's talk about Paula, the owner – she's truly amazing! Her passion for fitness and dedication to her members shine through in every aspect of the club. Whether you're a beginner or a fitness freak, Paula ensures you feel supported and motivated every step of the way. I couldn't recommend Xclusive Female Fitness Club enough – it's truly a five-star experience!

Awesome Personal Training – Highly recommend Idealbody4life! Serge is really a great trainer. He's very knowledgeable and careful to make sure you're doing the exercises… Read more

correctly to avoid any chance of injury.

He makes sure the sessions are varied so it doesn't get boring and tailors the program to suit your individual fitness goals.

He really goes above and beyond - checks in on you between sessions to keep you motivated.

He's passionate about what he does and he's just a genuinely nice guy.

Serge trains me and my two friends. It's always really fun and we have a laugh and it's a great, energetic way to start the weekend.

Pitty the price of fees are so high and going up further! OVER $75 per fortnight plus extras costs on top - hidden charges for holidays and to leave.… Read more

Love the staff, even if a lot have left over the years. The Members are wonderful but are slowly getting less and less. And services eg. Classes are slowly going and facilitates are looking outdated - the lick of paint didn't help.

Real pity the owner has lost touch with what other services are available of equal or better value elsewhere. Really only catering for the injured, self funded retirees that can afford to attend, or the die hard favourites. Those who need your services just can't afford it, over 60s plus - your so call target market.

Unfortunately, I have left and found cheaper options and better facilities - win win for me. Sad to leave the Staff and some members but most of the good ones are gone now too.

Think many others will follow - sorry Green Apple you are limiting your time.

Great studio vibe & the instructors really know their stuff. Best in the area

Paces like personal best are pretty rare – I typically hate gyms, so moving beyond feeling neutral and actually enjoying every day there is a mean feat. I've been at Personal Best for about 8… Read more

months now and I've amazing results in a short time. The trainers are dedicated and always looking to help you edge closer to your goals. It's awesome and I couldn't be happier :)

Fantastic gym with the most positive and supportive group workouts I’ve ever been a part of. As an added bonus, I recently completed the FYSL program… Read more

and found it so valuable. Each week, I learned to listen to my body and better understand its needs. Pippa has created a program that cuts through the noise of diet culture and the misinformation that surrounds so many women, providing practical, women-centred nutrition education. I’ve gained valuable knowledge and insights that I now apply to my everyday life, helping me make more informed choices about my health and wellbeing.

Funlife Best gym in the northern suburbs – I have to give another Big shout out to Funlife Fitness Centre. I suffered an injury and could not do any gym work for over 2 months. I thought this… Read more

would impact my membership, however raising the issue with team member Sarah, she instantly resolved my problem there and then. Sarah's customer service in my opinion went well above and beyond what I expected. So again a huge Thank you to Sarah and the team at Funlife 10/10.

Absolutely love this gym – Can’t say enough good things about this gym. The staff are amazing. Nothing is too much trouble. Helen is amazing at the group over 50s sessions. She… Read more

keeps everyone motivated. Always friendly and helpful. She also took me through each machine giving me a great program to follow. The young male trainers are excellent too. I am 68 and feel like I have a new lease in life. The value is incredible giving seniors 20% off a fortnight. I am so happy I joined this gym as I live a 20+minute drive away but was wrapped to see a gym that caters for all ages. Couldn’t find one close to home that catered for my age. Also love being able to rock up anytime night or day using my free fob.

I’ve been coming to this gym for years and absolutely love it. The classes, instructors, and staff are all exceptional—always supportive, welcoming, and incredibly understanding. It truly feels like a community. Highly recommend!

Rude customer service – had a medical exemption from my doctor for medical exemption 3 pages long with all my severe medical history ex cancer patient escalates to an… Read more

argument trying to tell me there qualified doctors knowing my history what's exempt. I'm currently working full time with the medical documentation I have there telling me I'm not exempt so disgusted felt humiliated in front of customers. mind you been a member for 7 years at this gym. poor customer service also phoned the gym prior to visiting it was told its ok with my medical documentation I have.

Best way to work out. The trainer comes to your home with the equipment.

The classes and instructors at KX Miranda were great, which makes this situation even more disappointing. The studio closed very abruptly with… Read more

almost no notice, and between myself and my sister we have 76 unused prepaid classes remaining, valued at $1,900 based on the yearly package rate we purchased.

Over a month later, we still have no clear resolution. We have not received a response from the Miranda franchise owner, and KX Head Office has not provided a practical outcome beyond advising that the classes may be transferable to other locations, which are not reasonably accessible for us.

I understand businesses and franchises can face challenges, but customers should not be left carrying the cost of prepaid services that can no longer be provided. Given this is a KX-branded studio, I would have expected Head Office to take a more active role in supporting affected members and helping resolve unused prepaid class balances.

The classes themselves were great, but the handling of the closure and the lack of resolution has been extremely disappointing

It very much gives the vibe that Head Office really don't care about those who support them and you're nothing but a dollar sign.

excellent teamwork and trainers', lovely community and workout sessions, I completely recommend!!!

I have now cancelled my membership this evening 3 June 2026 after being slugged $1700 for exorbitant membership fees per month ! with Harrison at the… Read more

front desk. Unfortunately, no assistance was offered regarding my safety concerns, nor was any practical solution provided as to how I could safely access a walking lane without children disrupting my exercise, splashing around me, or placing me at risk of injury. After paying approximately $1,700 in membership fees and repeatedly raising legitimate safety concerns, I am extremely disappointed that no meaningful effort was made to ensure a safe and accessible environment for a senior disabled patron seeking gentle exercise and rehabilitation.

Great gym – Good gym and great equipment. Especially for legs. Must train at

Great gym for helpful friendly service.Staff are first class and cater for all ages and conditions – absolute fabulous gym for a happy and helpful place to get fit and healthy.Staff are first class and friendlyI.am into my 70ths and there is so much for older people to do.

Stay away from their scam – Absolutely money making schemes. I signed up online and did not receive any agreement. Did not attend a single class due to injury and later moved… Read more

out of Brisbane. Continued charging then and then now when requested to cancel membership their form wasn’t working and opted me for temporary suspension. Suddenly sent an email to uplift the suspension of the account and when requested to cancel still continued to charge saying it is a 30days notice. Been out of work for months having no funds in bank but sorta threatened mentioning third party collection. They made money out of me and I haven’t stepped into their gym even once.

I really like Elixir but there are too many kids in the change rooms running and screaming. I love kids but the club needs to monitor this space… Read more

better. Kids don't pay to be in the club just the pool area and the pool change rooms. They really ruin what would otherwise be a very nice atmosphere.

Achieve goals, get results – You are greeted by name as you walk through the door. The trainers are friendly, knowledgeable and they assist you with every workout. Just like… Read more

they advertise, you are called and encouraged to make a booking if you have not attend the gym for a few days. I have trained there for 3 years now and have achieved far more than I ever dreamed possible. Can't hide the wrinkles, but I am feeling 30 years younger. Fitness is a long term process. These guys understand where you are at and work they with you.

Great facility the owners and personnel trainers off support and communication

Alive Health & Fitness Narrabundah – Member Review I’ve been going to gyms on and off most of my life. To be honest, I never really enjoyed it — I… Read more

went mainly because of weight issues, and while it helped, it was never something I looked forward to.

That all changed a year ago when I joined Alive Health & Fitness in Narrabundah, ACT. I absolutely love going in and training now. Every time I step through the doors, I’m greeted with a smile, and most of the staff know my name — which makes it feel so special. I genuinely feel like part of the gym family.

The staff here are exceptional, and I’m so grateful to them for making every visit start with a smile. I even challenged myself to try a couple of group classes — and OMG, Rachel (3D30) and Janelle (Power) are amazing instructors! I’m officially hooked and will be attending more of their classes for sure.

Alive Health & Fitness is hands down the best gym I’ve ever been to — and I’ve been to a lot.

Thanks, team. Raf

Too crowded – Since Covid, we have more people from other gyms, treadmills restricted and equipment removed. Because of the sanitising requirement it takes longer… Read more

to wait for a machine and they are all old, old, old. Also, parking is limited On the plus side, the staff are friendly. Kris

I am a member at Albany creek leisure centre, today l came in to speak about the classes they have on offer, l was served by Chels, she was so… Read more

helpful and told me about the app to check on classes which l didn't know you could do. She went above and beyond. I find that customer service is dying out , l wish there was more Chels out there.

Sensational! – I have 2 days remaining of a 2 week stay in Victoria, and cannot recommend this retreat highly enough. The food is delicious and beautifully… Read more

prepared, and the accommodation is located in lovely settings. The program is varied, and challenging, and results are much better than I expected. But the stand out feature is the staff. The trainers and presenters are a cut above the average PT - they’re intuitive, empathetic and incredibly knowledgeable. OnTrack has been the best investment I’ve ever made in my health.

No pretentiousness here – I have moved away now and will miss this gym. Friendly staff and instructors, affordable, no pressure to look a certain way or be a certain age.… Read more

Classes, equipment to cater for all interests. Love that there are not mirrors everywhere. If you are someone who needs a female only environment for cultural or personal reasons, it may not be for you as there are a few male trainers and instructors. Surprisingly it may not be the best for the Perimenopausal who need air conditioning all year around as it’s often off during the quieter times. Would be great if the staff could have in depth training on the debilitating effects of menopause on women and the benefits of exercise. If they did, the air con would never be off!

I used to recommend this place as I have been here for years. However it has changed over the years. It is not the cleanest place. Not much… Read more

consideration is given to members or instructors.

Yoga classes have recently moved to a cold room where large groups of people are outside making lots of noise and group fitness classes are often back to back, not giving instructors a break or allowing for proper class turn around times. Even today, we are doing a restorative yoga class as school swimming sports were on and children were continually screaming on their way past the toilets. Staff do nothing to ask for quiet.

The bathroom tapware is peeling to the extent that you can cut your fingers on the poorly plated taps and this sink has been filling up with water for weeks.

Certainly can not recommend as place to go for yoga any more despite the fact that the yoga instructors are fantastic!

Great facilities and location – Great facilities, equipments are well-serviced! Not crowded in the morning, great for a quick gym session and shower before going to work! Suggest to hire more staff for shower clean up.

It’s not unusual to judge a business by it’s name so compliments here on this. In a busy world and where everyone is pressed by time whether this… Read more

surrounds values, time management and productivity it also neglects to have seen the opposite side of the same where ‘in a hurry going nowhere faster than what could have progressed at a slower pace with more well rounded results’ also has it’s too slow.

Yes, the qualifying (eeew qualify)!

In short, your Sorrento Club was softest on my eyes rather than the fast paced colours selling this “lifestyle’ where time dedicated to one’s health can often present itself as a trend or perhaps a fleeting phase rather than being of genuine quality and care for what is also an investment in our fellow selves help.

Punch line: Selves Help Industry - SHI

To finish this off I will also add that I just googled yourselves to see what Re-Creation was doing these days.

Stay well.

Gym was okay, had a decent selection of equipment. Just wished there was more lighting in here as it can get quite dark in some areas.
