Best Gyms & Fitness Centres in Tasmania Hobart

Just started with the Doreen branch of Anytime Fitness and so far my experience has been excellent. I received a warm welcome from gym manager Joh… Read more

and a follow up call from Elena to see how I was getting on. While the gym is smaller than some, it has all the space and equipment you could need. The gym is set in a pleasant environment, looking out on the Laurimar lakes. Air conditioning helps to make a workout a great experience.

Since joining Fernwood I have had no regrets at all. I love the classes, the members and the staff. Everyone has made me feel so welcome. The… Read more

equipment, rooms and bathrooms are excellent and the location of the gym could not be better. The whole experience has been amazing. Thank you

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.

I closed my bank account after falling victim to identity theft and online fraud. I received text messages from fitness passport telling my that my… Read more

direct debits had failed, from a number that didn't accept replies. Several weeks later I received messages from a debt collection company for $262. I used the fitness passport less than 10 times over two years, all before I closed my bank account.

After submitting this review, fitness passport has removed the debt.

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.

Would not recommend I've had a series of serious issues with this gym that I feel other members should know about before joining. Billing: I was… Read more

charged $150.00 regarding multiple tailgating allegations, without receiving any prior email reminder or notice. When I raised this, I was met with confrontational and unprofessional messages from staff instead of a proper resolution. Dates informed were incorrect ( as I did NOT attend the gym for 2 weeks due to a death on of a family member followed by sickness ) and the multiple videos were never provided.

Misleading sales tactics: When I signed up, a manager told me the outdated equipment would be replaced with new machines. This never happened, months later the same worn-out equipment is still there. I feel this was used purely as a sales pitch to get me to commit to a membership.

Facility issues:

There is no proper stretching area, making it difficult to warm up or cool down safely. The fan system is defective, gym members often fell off chairs while trying to manually turn the fan on because the controls don't work properly. This is a real safety hazard that hasn't been addressed. Air Conditioners also do not work properly.

Customer service: Staff have been dismissive when issues are raised, and management does not respond or follow up on complaints. It feels like once you've signed the contract, they stop caring about your experience.

Overall, poor communication, broken promises, safety hazards, and unprofessional conduct. I'd think twice before joining.

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.

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’ve been coming to KX Liverpool consistently since Feb and have always had a very positive and welcoming experience until tonight. I don’t know why… Read more

this still needs to be said in this day and age but WOMEN DESERVE SAFE SPACES TO EXERCISE!

During the routine hamstring stretch one of the male owners took a video of myself and the class without permission (or knowledge) to (assuming) post on their social media platforms for PR. ‍♀️

Western Sydney women have the right to access health and wellness services that are culturally/socially sensitive and safe.

When I tried to approach the male owner after the class regarding the video, I was snubbed as the KX team was occupied trying to exchange R U OK day roses for PR content from their clients.

On my way out I noticed a Muslim woman wearing a hijab and felt compelled to warn her that the male owner takes videos of the clients without their permission and knowledge. She thanked me and said she’ll be vigilant. #womenlookingoutforwomen

This is completely unacceptable and disgraceful conduct from a female targeted fitness service located in one of Sydney’s most culturally diverse communities.

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

I’ve been attending the gym for over 3 years and really enjoyed it. As I’m retired I go during the day. There is a wide variety of activities so… Read more

you are bound to find a few that suit you. I love the pool, although I only use the indoor pool as it is heated. I’ve recently started attending the Dance fit class on Mondays and it is a lot of fun. I’m not very good because I’m new to it, obese and old (72) and I have lung damage but I can approximate what the instructor does and that is fine. I find that the aerobic exercise helps my breathing. The staff are great although I’d like to see more middle aged staff/pt instructors. The cafe is excellent, offering a good choice of healthy meals and take away options at reasonable prices.

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 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.

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.

It shouldn't be Called World Gym; your Subscription only allows you to use the local branch. They don't make this clear when you sign up. Use Anytime or Genesis. Way better options.

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.
