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.

G.A. Review – I have been coming to the GA for several years now, its like one big family. There is heaps of equipment, the staff are wonderful and I made a lot of new friends. Love it.

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.

It Amazing, has totally changed my life – I recently booked an intro offer at KX Pilates Castle Hill. I enjoyed them so much that I have booked more. The instructors are so lovely and… Read more

knowledgeable. Their enthusiasm and positive attitude makes me want to be there. I feel amazing even after doing just a few classes.

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 Gym ever! – I have been a member of a gym since a young teenager and this is by far the best gym I’ve ever attended. The staff are seriously the most friendly… Read more

you will ever find. Paul the manager greets you from 10 meters away with the biggest warmest welcome! The instructors are all so great at what they do. The reformer Pilates studio, all the classes and variety of equipment are first class. You will not be disappointed

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!!!

absolutely love next generation Ryde! After living away from the area for many years it is a big part of what brought me back to live close by and go to this gym! a game chamger for health has every facility you could want!

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.

Great facility the owners and personnel trainers off support and communication

I was discriminated against for partial hearing loss at Elixir Club Bondi Junction and not allowed to attend further Pilates Reformer classes. I was… Read more

told wearing hearing aids is unsuitable. No explanation given as to why wearing hearing aids is unsuitable. I was advised that I was being discriminated against by text message from the Membership Advisor rather than in person. At my first Pilates class I didn't wear my hearing aids and mentioned to the instructor that I normally wear them to hear better. The instructor then advised me to wear my hearing aids in order to hear her better next time. Then I received a text the next day saying I was locked out from attending further classes. When I asked at the front desk what was happening the two staff on duty referred me back to the Membership advisor who was unavailable until Monday, after the weekend. The front office staff also said if they try to contacting management on the weekend they are ignored until Monday. When I mentioned the text message advising I was being being blocked from attending further Pilates classes because of my hearing aids they acknowledged that thhey know about that but didn't want to say as it might be hurtful (or maybe they were embarrassed at having to deliver such a message). They also acknowledged that they knew how it felt to feel discriminated against based on their ethnicity. Mixed and confusing messages and discriminatory. After providing my customer feedback and expressing my frustration and hurt by being treated this way, the front office staff became defensive and asked me to leave the premises.. Ironic given the decor of the club is Buddha themed yet they are not true practitioners of compassion in reality. In my career I've learned customer feedback is gold to a firm, that companies pay millions to learn what customers are really experiencing. And to ignore real time customer feedback is folly.

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.

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.

This is amazing – VIE Pilates at Varsity lakes run by [name removed] has been the best thing I have ever done , it hasn't just helped me with my anxiety but it is… Read more

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

Very Disappointing Gym – Poor Management and Bad Equipment This gym has been a very disappointing experience overall. The management is… Read more

unprofessional, and there is a serious lack of communication. Important updates are not shared properly, and when issues are raised, staff are either unhelpful or dismissive.

The equipment is also in poor condition — many machines are old, poorly maintained, or out of order for weeks with no explanation. It’s clear that upkeep is not a priority here.

It’s unfortunate because with proper management and better care for the facilities, this could be a great place. But as it stands now, I wouldn’t recommend this gym to anyone.

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

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.

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.

Hampton - This is for their salt room only, not the gym facilities. We were thinking of joining up full gym m'ship x2, tried the salt room as casuals… Read more

first as that was a big part of wanting to join. Tried other salt rooms before and they were "cloudy" with salt dust. We went in and waited... nothing. Fan was on, could hear the salt grinder kicking in (?) but seemed like no salt. Spoke to receptionist after 10 mins and she said it's on and meant to be like that. Air looked crystal clear. There were lights and a laser(?) particle sensor and I didn't see one spec of dust or cloudiness. Put my hand in front of the vent to hopefully catch some salt, tasted it and nothing. So it seems we got a 45 minute massage chair therapy, not salt therapy. Obviously we won't be joining - thank God coz the other reviews here scare us. My partner did see insects on the floor in salt room too. We gave feedback afterwards and the receptionist told us that theirs is not like the other salt rooms. A salt room without salt: what the? Maybe she just didn't want us as members for some reason, or they save the salt for themselves or certain members only, or it's just a tax write-off for their own personal use? Whatever. Lesson learned, look elsewhere.

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

Huge gym, but uneasy vibe, not clean and rusting equipment – This is for the Brunswick gym, which is famous all over Australia and beyond for its size and variety of equipment. Theres three huge rooms full of… Read more

equipment, probably the biggest gym I've ever seen, so heaps of stuff on offer you can do. Theres no aerobics or stretching area - this a gym for serious body builders. Posters of impossibly buffed and chiselled dudes and chicks are everywhere, and theres always these huge dudes with arms like tree trunks training there. Famous bodybuilders from the States and elsewhere actually train here when in town. They've also got a boxing ring and supplements shop onsite too.

The problem while there is heaps of machines, a lot of equipment is really old and some of it may be on the verge of not being safe anymore. There is a serious lack of smaller freeweights in the range of 1-10kg, so it makes it really hard to even use this huge variety of equipment. Hygiene and cleanliness is also an issue, the place is really old and lacking maintenance as it is, and the bathrooms get pretty nasty. Its also really cold in winter and hot in summer, using cardio equipment on hot days is unbearable.

Most of all, you really want to consider if the vibe suits you, given the other people training there...to be honest its not really a gym for regular people. Other dudes there claim multiple equipment at the same time and even groups of guys kick you off things of they want it. Also the parking lot and bike racks are next to the Bandidos club house, which doesn't fill you with confidence at all. Some people may not mind it, its up to you how you feel about it.

Direct debit is easy to set up, and you just need 4 weeks notice to stop it, FYI.
