Best Gyms in Victoria Melbourne and Geelong

Never use Anytime fitness I am stuck with this scam 1 year contract. I stay regional NSW for like 4-5 months then Sydney for rest. So, I signed up… Read more

in regional NSW and I had to pay $22. After I moved to Sydney, I started using gym in Kingspark . I found out they charge $32 , after 6 weeks the home gym transfer. That was too much so, I found another Anytime and asked them first what was the the charge and they said $27. I waited for 2 months for gym transfer. Then, the new contract I got it has same rate of $32. I talked with receptionist and they were like it only goes up and it doesn't go down. So, I am paying $500 extra an year. I am gonna cancel and pay half. I think with remaining half I can pay for 9 month membership in Planet fitness or use no contract in Plus fitness for 16 dollars. I mean if you live like 2 minutes from gym and never gonna move probably gonna work but for other BEWARE OF THIS SCAM!! I guess.

Really impressed by how easy regular exercise is at Fernwood Ballarat! Such a lovely community of women supporting women, with a focus on wellness… Read more

and supporting each other. I now have a lovely community of a variety of different women and I've only been going for 2 months . It's so empowering! I feel so comfortable , confident and a huge sense of belonging. I especially love Erin Harris Zumba class. It is so much fun !! All the instructors are incredible! I could easily spend all day at Fernwood. Going to classes, catching up with friends in the cafe or massage chairs , and before doing group classes . I also love just going in and doing a quiet gym session and reading my book with a cuppa afterwards . I'm looking forward to doing the Mothers day classic with Fernwood .

I had my first try at hot Yoga today …. Extremely enjoyable ALISON the instructor was fantastic, cannot wit for my next session. Also on my arrival Ky was so welcoming and showed me around, great service with a lovely attitude.

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.

Very good range of equipments, staff are genuinely supersuper friendly and helpful, as well as motivating.

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

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!

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.

Good sized gym with a variety of equipment. Seems to always be busy though in the weights areas, so I mainly just use the treadmill as there’s 12 of… Read more

them and it’s not too difficult to find a free one. Just wish more people understood treadmill etiquette and didn’t get on right next to you when there’s enough free machines to leave a machine free between users.

The facility could benefit from getting a couple of big fans for airflow, particularly going into to Summer as it gets quite humid.

Bad service. I tried to cancel my membership with Plus fitness South Lake, WA. I went into the gym and asked to cancel my membership. I was… Read more

handled a business card and told to email to cancel, no explanation why I could not cancel in person. I then emailed and no response. I called but no one picked up the phone therefore, I emailed again following up and received a response email 3 days later with no name on the response. Since that date my account has been charged 3x in total. I called the business for 4 weeks straight, every day and multiple times during the day and not once did they answer or pick up ever. Therefore , after calling again and no answer, I emailed asking them to stop taking money and remove the CC from their database. Instead of getting a response email confirming it's all sorted, they took another payment the next day. So instead of confirming a customers cancellation, they just take more money. Deceptive conduct as customers can't get any service or answers as they just keeping taking money with no repercussion. Can't close the membership in store, can't call to get information and can't get an email confirming anything / closure. Another $150 and had to go to the bank and close my CC and rearrange everything. I can't imagine how many other people have had this issue leaving. Save your time and energy and find a real gym that can run a business and provide actual transparent service.

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.

Only gym on the beaches that includes Cold plunge, a decent sauna and unlimited classes

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.

I would like to share some insights regarding my experiences with Natasha from the World Gym Australia head office in handling my concerns. The issue… Read more

I raised was quite serious, and I anticipated it would be addressed appropriately. Natasha was very pleasant and friendly during our phone conversation, demonstrating a kind personality, and she was cooperative and empathetic toward me. I appreciate her efforts, understanding that she has limitations and that there are supervisors above her. However, I feel it is important to express some concerns about the overall professionalism at World Gym Australia, especially regarding the safety and well-being of women at North Lakes World Gym. Unfortunately, my personal information was shared with outsiders, and my full name was disclosed in a Google review response, despite informing staff that I am a victim of domestic violence and require sensitive handling. I have experienced stalking and harassment, which have significantly affected my well-being. It was distressing to observe groups gathering and following me around the gym, creating an environment that felt unsafe. Additionally, I noticed some security cameras were not operational and observed activities that appeared suspicious. I am also concerned about my ban from the gym, which seems to be aimed at protecting the gym's reputation. As a 51-year-old woman, my primary focus is on my personal journey—sharing this account was not for personal gain. I believe that respect and safety for women should be top priorities. Unfortunately, I feel that my safety was compromised, and I hope the gym will consider implementing further protective measures. I encourage others to report any unethical behaviour to help foster a safer environment for everyone. I have also noticed that some individuals at the gym appear intoxicated, and some follow me around, which I find concerning. These individuals may lack respect or proper conduct, and it is important to ensure a respectful environment. I also believe that visible signage regarding acceptable behaviour—such as prohibitions on harassment, staring, As Josh andhis best frind Tony have been acting and staring onyour womne i supct they have involvement in some activities —would be beneficial to reinforce expectations. To all women, please consider exercising caution with sharing personal details and remain vigilant in your surroundings and in the car park. Keeping detailed notes of any incidents and reporting them can help improve safety for everyone. Support each other and report concerns, as this can contribute to making the environment safer and more welcoming—because protecting the well-being of customers should be a priority for World Gym Australia.

Overall, most of the staff are rude and disrespectful. They lack manners, and Mr. Kurt Mudford, the owner, is arrogant, rude, and unprofessional. The personal trainers don't practice what they preach, and the machines are broken and not working; sometimes they do, sometimes they don’t. Very dirty toilets; when I was there, the facility was filthy and never cleaned. There are people who go there with no good intentions. You can see they’re not into fitness; they are there to look up women. This place's underworld, garbage-filled carparks, is very dirty most of the time. You often see bottles of alcohol. I am concerned that now young children go to the gym unsupervised and are exposed to dangerous people.

Exceptional service and state of the Art Gym, staff are very helpful and extremely friendly

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.

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 ️.

Luke at Midland revo is awesome!. He keeps the gym tidy and clean. Always busy. Makes the gym a great place to go! Thank you Luke!

Loved this gym – This gym is fantastic. Has everything I want. Reformer Pilates was great, something I had never done before. Also the range of equipment they have… Read more

was awesome. Great vibe among the members and the sauna was great to sweat out any weekend over indulgence. I mainly used the strength equipment which has everything I want and my wife tried some of the group fitness classes (really loved bodpump). Highly recommended

We really tried to be loyal despite being quite inconvenienced with the classes and trainers not showing up because they weren’t being paid. However… Read more

new management with the new managers has made the customer experience even worse. All 4 members of the family will be changing gyms and it can’t happen quickly enough

Very disappointing experience with Zap Fitness. I had a 12-month membership at Rosny, Hobart but had to move to Tweed Heads NSW where there is no Zap… Read more

nearby. They still charged me the full remaining amount plus extra company fees instead of helping with a genuine relocation case. Staff were rude and unhelpful during communication. No understanding or flexibility at all. I do not recommend at all.

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
