Best Gyms & Fitness Centres in Tasmania Hobart

Excellent gym. Great facilities. Clean and well kept equipment. The staff are all very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend.

Very friendly staff, parking on site!, great variety of classes, clean, spacious change and locker room, I love it. Best decision I’ve made in a while.

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.

I'd give it zero if I could. Rip off. Difficult customer service.

SNAP FITNESS KENMORE AVOID. The ‘manager’ [Name Removed] completely misleads and lies about the memberships you sign up for and when you try to cancel he’ll charge you over $200 dollars. Avoid at all costs, he’s a liar.

Best decision I made in a long time – KAOS Theory is not just a diet plan and workout routines, it is a way of life. It helps us to make better decisions to live healthier lives. It… Read more

focuses on the mental aspect of your lifestyle to help you to get healthier. It is curtailed in such a way that you can adjust it to everyday life. Not everyone can live in a gym and have the perfect food plan because we live in the real world. This is where KAOS steps in and lays the road map for success. However, it takes personal discipline and determination for anything to work. This is a relationship and like all relationships, both sides have to be willing to work for it. We don’t get out of shape over night , so don’t expect results over night. Work hard, disciplined and steady; the success will come. Joining KAOS Theory has been one of the best decisions I have ever made.

Love the variety of classes - keeps training exciting and the coaches are knowledgeable, motivating, and genuinely care about your progress and… Read more

wellbeing. What really sets Function Well apart is the community. Everyone is so welcoming and supportive. The recovery facilities are next level and make it easy to balance training with proper rest. If you’re looking for a place that goes beyond just fitness and really supports a healthier lifestyle, Function Well is it. Could not recommend more highly!

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.

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.

Extremely disappointed with the ongoing conditions and management decisions at this gym. For weeks, the indoor cycle room during the Wednesday 6:30pm… Read more

class has been excessively hot, poorly ventilated, and completely unsuitable for a high-intensity workout environment. Multiple members have complained, and many are visibly struggling during class. This is no longer just about comfort — it is a serious health and safety concern. Indoor cycling in extreme heat creates real risks including dehydration, dizziness, overheating, and potential medical emergencies. Any gym management aware of these repeated concerns should understand their responsibility and duty of care toward both members and instructors. What is also concerning is the apparent lack of equal support across instructors and classes. Instead of focusing on creating a professional and supportive environment, management appears more interested in selectively promoting certain instructors and class formats while ignoring ongoing operational and safety issues affecting others. Members notice this behaviour, and it creates a very unprofessional atmosphere. I sincerely hope management addresses this immediately because continuing to ignore repeated complaints about unsafe training conditions could eventually require formal escalation beyond internal management discussions. This review is being posted in the hope that member safety and professionalism finally become a priority.

All over was good at start but turned sour at end – While the coach i had was excellent the payment system they work with is debit success and i had a few weeks owing because of financial difficulty… Read more

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.

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

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

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.

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.

Nothing wrong with the gym itself just 2 of the staff that work there [Name Removed] and [Name Removed]. [Name Removed] was my competition coach as a… Read more

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

DO NOT RECOMMEND

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.

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.

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.
