Fernwood Women's Health Clubs 🏆 2026

I originally had a consultation with Fernwood Penrith for Hypoxi weight loss. The expense was out of my budget and the consultant suggested I sign… Read more
up to the fitness area of the club. I looked at the cost and considered it was doable even though I am on a carers pension as I am full time carer of my 90 year old mum with dementia. A couple of weeks into the fitness program my mum needed more of my time and also I was in urgent need of dental work. I deferred my program with Fernwood and was not charged a fee. However, the dental work and the needs for my mum was considerably more than expected. Fernwood advised that they will continue charging me plus a cancellation fee. I advised them that I was very low in funds but Fernwood took money out of my account leaving me with $12.00 until my next carers allowance 10 days later. As of this date I advised Fernwood that I would need to contact my bank to stop the direct debits. The lack of empathy and compassion is very disappointing and sad and leaves a very bad taste in my mouth as I have been upfront with them about my financial situation and the reasons I am not able to continue with the program.

I have been a member of this gym for a number of years now. The ladies section has 2 pilates machines which I absolutely love. There have been some… Read more
issues with the machines but everytime I have enquired about this there has always been follow up. Love the fact that management responds to all negative reviews and have full details regarding the people who have submitted them who are/have done something dodgy. Reception is fine they are busy so understand that they don't really have the time to greet every single person walking in and out of the place. Have never found any issues. You can just go about your business and do your workout and leave which I love.

hand over money.
I was in Sydney for a month so used this as my gym. When signing up to the contract, I was told that the fob payment is refundable when you bring it back (30AUD - see screenshots). To be sure that everything was to go smoothly as I was flying out of town, I sent an email to the gym to ask about fob return to make it easier for them. No response - even though it was 13 days before the end of contract. The staffed gym hours are untrue, when I went to return my fob on two occasions before my contract ended there was nobody there for my whole hour long workout both times. When I went to the gym most recently to return the fob there was nobody on the desk for 30 minutes and just a scrappy sheet of paper asking to call a mobile number if nobody is about, without an Aussie number I couldn’t call so had to wait. As soon as the old man working there finally came back I was met with an aggressive response to requesting the fob refund and told that the fob return rules were made clear to me - apparently (and not in writing) you must return the fob with an active membership in order to receive your fob return money. I’ve included the contract that Broadway Gym use below which states nothing about the fob return policy, so this is how they make an extra bit of cash from members. It is only 30AUD, but the behaviour of the older man working there was quite shocking.
It is clear why this is one of the cheapest gym in Sydney, staff are never there and the gym is left to manage itself, but I just want others to be aware of this scam so this gym doesn’t extract extra cash from future or current members.

South Pacific Health Club
Dishonest Billing Practices and No Accountability - Avoid South Pacific Health Club – I strongly advise against signing up with South Pacific Health Clubs due to their unethical billing practices and complete lack of accountability. I… Read more
was incorrectly charged for two personal training sessions that I never attended, yet despite multiple follow-ups, South Pacific has refused to correct their mistake. After providing clear proof of the incorrect charges—including bank statements—they continued to dodge responsibility, claiming they "couldn’t confirm" whether they actually owed me money.
To make matters worse, even after cancelling my membership, they continued to debit my account. When I raised this issue, I was met with the same dismissive attitude and lack of action.
This gym's management clearly prioritizes squeezing extra dollars out of unsuspecting customers over ethical business practices. If you sign up, be prepared for billing "errors" that they will refuse to fix.
There are plenty of reputable gyms out there—do yourself a favour and stay far away from this one.

due to acc and returning to work. I asked to finish and would pay what was owing but due to my situation things got forgotten and not one person contacted me from any of the agencies concerned. That is healthy inspirations or debit success about 3 months later i got hit with a bill for 1,899.00 from them. Trying to sort this out has left me very angry as no one wants to know about it debit success passed buck back to healthy inspirations ive tried several times to get it sorted to no avail. No one wants to know me basically. Very sad. As to cost weekly which is roughly 30 odd dollars not value for money.

a week to 2 days a week. To say I'm disappointed is an understatement. Class attendance has been high for the past 2 years so makes no sense to change things. Having only 2 days with afternoon classes is pointless continuing this membership. The afternoon classes were the reason I joined this gym, our instructor Oscar & the friends I've made is what's kept me going. Without them I could go to any other gym in the area such as Anytime where the equipment is in far better condition.

disregard of cycle maintenance by management is appalling. There are currently 3 bikes out of commission, many of the bike saddles are splitting, the locking mechanisms for the handle bars are often either stuck fast or unable to hold the bars steady, flywheels of some bikes do not rotate evenly, and straps are sometimes missing from the pedal baskets. While improvements, upgrades, and maintenance appears to be applied to most areas of this gym, there seems to be a total disregard for the bikes and the safety of members that wish to participate in the various cycle classes on offer.

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

first timer I had no support very little was explained to me throughout the process very cut and dry paid good money for a service that provided very little in return more of a money grab then anything else is sexist puts more work into his male competitors on show day he was no where to be seen I had no idea where to go I was left standing around had to message him for help once again neglect and lack of support. I was feeling very unwell that day physically he had me so depleted that what little gas I had in the tank and muscle mass was gone I went on stage still feeling like this unfortunately I didn’t finish my routine he has since then taken no reasonability for his mistakes.
[Name Removed] his wife was my posing coach for quite some time I practiced with her and at home almost every day she then says I forgot my routine which is completely untrue I was struggling to stand as I was physically unwell. So more lies
I have cut ties with these people since they made my first body building experience terrible.
I have since then found out that mr [Name Removed] isn’t even qualified to be giving out diet plans which would explain why I was unwell and still nursing myself back to health it’s also been alleged he has been entering clients that are not natural into federations that are. I feel [Name Removed] his wife is not natural and many more I’m sure.
Overall terrible coach for bodybuilding unprofessional cheat that doesn’t have you as his best interest no care factor and extremely sloppy

This is an awesome gym with a massive facility & plenty of exercise machinery for both upper & lower body. They are also fantastic value for money… Read more
e.g you can use the gym facilities daily for $10:95c a week. They also have an awesome offer for those that want to join group exercise sessions. For example you literally pay $899 which literally covers you annually for group exercise sessions, including bringing a different friend each time for each of your sessions. That's awesome because for example you can share the annual fees with your friends. For example you can pay $500 & divide the other $400 among 3+ friends. So divide $900/52 weeks, which equals $17:30c a week. So you can literally attend up to 7 daily group sessions for $17:30c a week. Some gyms can charge a minimum $60 a week for group sessions. Don't get ripped off, go directly to crunch fitness. Also crunch fitness has plenty of onsight parking ️.
