Best Fitness & Leisure Centres in Queensland Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Townsville and Cairns

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.

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 Classes are slowly going and facilitates are looking outdated - the lick of paint didn't help.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.

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 :)

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.

I am a veteran of over 400 classes and I would recommend kx Pilates to anyone looking for the best all over body workout. The instructors are great, making every class worth showing up for.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

Great facility the owners and personnel trainers off support and communication

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.

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.

Unfortunate disappointment – Loved the classes and some trainers at browns plains , good price. Creche is basic and wants perfect children so they don't need to do anything. Left… Read more

after being told by owner to leave my child at home after one temper tantrum, no second chance at all. Went for 6 months until this happened. Such a shame, would join again if he ever leaves and I dont need a creche.

Great Gym! – Visited this Gym whilst I was living in Airlie for a little bit when Backpacking. Absolute great experience and great staff!  Show details

Disappointing – Asked for a quote on the phone for very specific services they offer (ballpark). They refused to provide even a rough idea of costs, instead… Read more

proffering consultation which sounded more like a price gauging exercise. Disappointing that poor customer practices exist when I’m more than keen to support a local business.

Amazing community based gym in the heart of Balmain – Classes, weights room, cardio equipment, everything you need in a gym! Great value for money. Definitely recommend to anyone in the area. The staff are friendly and professional. Go in and give it a go!  Show details

Best staff – Staff are warm and friendly, swimming instructors are by far the best i've seen, the gym is a little small but still has everything you need, and there are lots of changerooms for such a small facility. 10/10  Show details

Long time user – It has always been my local gym, and I always liked it, but the new hours right now don't work for me. I want to be able to get there and fit it in… Read more

with my job, but 5 a.m. starts are too late. I am aware of the upcoming 24-hour proposal; however, I need the pool and sauna to not have the hours reduced, which is what I've heard. I always have to rush, and rushing doesn't help me.

Staff are incredibly rude and lack basic customer service skills. Got there 6:30 when basketball courts open and could even see one person even using… Read more

a half court but some how they’re not open till 8? Pure incompetencey at its finest, couldn’t throw a stone in the ocean those staff.

Great gym - new spin bikes! – I have been going to Tenerife/Gasworks Healthworks for over 3 years now and was attracted to their flexible no lock in contract. I find the staff and… Read more

trainers very knowledgeable and just consulted one regarding some ongoing hamstring issues and ended up with a program with specific exercises. There are a lot of spin classes on offer in Tenerife and the 10 year plus spin bikes have just been replaced with Coach-by-Colour bikes. What a great investment! They really make a difference from a training perspective. As I am unable to do speedwork in my running training, I am glad to have the bikes to crosstrain.

I do like spa but always full of men please make one for women in side most of women has back pain and disc but always men if not I will leave and concel my membership
