Best Gyms in Queensland Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Townsville and Cairns

All Fake reviews here. Because this is one god of a company that extorts people. How has this company not been investigated by Financial Ombudsman. Maybe it needs a class action.

I joined Fernwood Carlton (after a hard sell) and made the mistake of not reading the contract carefully. I believed I’d signed for a year but it was… Read more

in fact two. The first year I did my best to stay involved as they have great group fitness instructors. By year 2 I could not make the timetable work as the priority was top tier members paying for reformer Pilates and Hit. As a result I stopped attending regularly and eventually altogether. I decided I would leave at contract end, however Fernwood are doing all they can to fleece as much money out of me as possible. It’s been an awful and disappointing experience. When I asked them to be fair and reasonable the response is to read the contract. Honestly, it’s a great gym if you want to pay top $ to do reformer Pilates or hit. My advice is to negotiate contract terms and to understand what you are signing up to. Additionally these are franchises and there are issues with head office that play into ongoing issues.

I’m a female uni student who started at the Marsden Park gym a few months ago and it has been a real breath of fresh air (LITERALLY). I’ve been… Read more

really impressed with how clean and organised this gym is. The equipments is always sparkling, the weights are in order and toilets/ showers always seem brand new. Scott Lawrence made getting started an absolute breeze with a workout plan and free guidance to get set up for ongoing classes. They’re busy but always helpful when you need it. Jemal Ale always brings the vibes to his classes and makes them fun yet challenging. I love the seperate training rooms and my younger sister would not have gotten started on her fitness if it wasn’t for this gym and their work to help younger kids get into the gym. BIG THUMBS UP!!!

Jetts O'Connor. Amazing no pressure environment. Management excellent. Personal training on customer request James, All the best mate.

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!

I’ll admit, I was initially very concerned about my contract after extremely bad experiences at a different Plus Fitness location. Because I was… Read more

locked into the 12-month agreement regardless, I decided to give the Pinjarra team a try—and I am so glad I did!

​Pinjarra truly stands out above the other Plus Fitness gyms. The atmosphere here is completely different; it’s a genuine "we care for our clients and our gym facility" environment. Unlike my previous experiences with the chain, the hygiene here is top-notch.

​As someone who gets nervous about gym time due to medical issues, I’ve found the staff at Pinjarra to be incredibly compassionate and caring. They truly go the extra mile—they even recently installed extra fans for better airflow, which makes a big difference. It’s becoming easier and easier for me to walk through those doors, and I’m so happy to be back in a gym again.

​If you’ve had a bad experience elsewhere, don't let it put you off—the Pinjarra PF Team is the great.

This pertains to the equipment associated with the cycle room only. While the instructors are warm, knowledgeable and enthusiastic, the apparent… Read more

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.

Extremely disappointing experience with Fitness First. This experience made it clear that customer satisfaction is not a priority at Fitness First.… Read more

After permanently relocating to an area with no nearby Fitness First clubs, I requested to cancel my membership due to lack of reasonable access. Despite this, there was no attempt to offer a fair or reasonable solution. Every interaction felt transactional, scripted, and focused solely on enforcing fees, rather than understanding real-life circumstances. There was no empathy, no flexibility, and no genuine effort to help — only a rigid insistence on payment, regardless of the situation. A company that prioritises contracts and fees over people may protect its revenue, but it loses trust. Based on my experience, I would not recommend Fitness First to anyone who values fairness, transparency, or customer care.

World Gym Stafford was a terrible experience. What positives it has (like the array of equipment) is quickly wiped out by the negatives. It’s way too… Read more

crowded regardless of when you visit, way too loud (genuinely felt like I was doing damage to my ears in there), staff are a mixed bag and basic courtesy is in very short supply. The amount of bad behaviour I witnessed while there was astonishing. I was starting to really dislike training and my mindset was tanking and I eventually realised it was because of the atmosphere there, so probably should have left a lot earlier than I did. The trainers there pretty much ignore whatever behaviour people engage in, and there’s no real standards of behaviour at all. Granted it’s a globo gym so you do need to keep expectations low, but I’ve trained at others over the years and the worst behaviour I’ve seen was at this gym - mostly by juiced up guys with real anger issues. Do not recommend.

The "% busy" reported in the app is often completely understated. For example, this morning the app reported 13% busy. I estimate it was at least… Read more

90%. Obviously caused by the entrance/exit gates being locked open - people are not checking in/out. Cannot trust the app. Gym too busy.

Such a vile company, I've done alot for them over the 15 years I've been with them and want to know my thanks? I have not been able to go to the gym… Read more

for the last 6 months because of a serious infection that ruined my life. I enquired about putting the account on hold, but was told only two weeks. I did not want to cancel my membership because I was always hoping to get better and come back. I politely asked GL if there was anything they could do, emailing their head office directly. They seemed like they were going to help, requesting my membership details and account, then later said they would do nothing and that it's just too bad. Really shakes your faith in humanity and makes you want to betray everyone in the future no matter what it costs them, all the world is, is people who are directly from hell, i'll be sure to send you back.

Place to clear your head – ZeroW in Windsor is undoubtedly one of the best gyms I’ve ever been to. I was only a casual visitor and I was made feel like part of their family.… Read more

Great staff, great facilities and equipment. I could not recommend this establishment any more. If your ever in the area don’t hesitate to go in and talk to the friendly staff and throw some plates around.

Best gym in Mackay – I could not recommended this gym enough , I was so happy with my weight loss progress.I did personal training with Kay for my wedding I have never… Read more

felt or looked better. It’s been a couple of years sense I’ve done pt but I’ve kept my membership and have seen the progress of expanding the gyms and how much equipment and thought is put into muscle garden. If you want to feel motivated and not judged definitely a gym worth joining. Can’t wait to get back to where I was!!

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.

Nice Gym Setup – I have been going to Miami Fitness for some time now. It is one of the quieter gyms on the coast and I am happy with the equipment available and the… Read more

staff. I have been to all the big name brands which offer some pretty bad service so it is a fresh and nice change.

Very ANNOYED with Cancellation – Been with Go Health for years , cancelled Membership after not using gym an they still want to hit you with a MONTH BILL omg , disgusting how they treat you when you cancel I would NEVER recommend GOHEALTH Club to any one ....  Show details
