AJ's Sports Centre

Long time user – It has always been my local gym, and I always liked it, but the new hours right now don't work for me. I want to be able to get there and fit it in with my job, but 5 a.m. starts are too late. I am aware of the upcoming 24-hour proposal; however, I need the pool and sauna to not have the hours reduced, which is what I've heard. I always have to rush, and rushing doesn't help me.

Unsafe Practices – I recently visited the sports center, and regrettably, my experience left much to be desired. It was disheartening to witness some patrons engaging in unsafe behavior by introducing chemicals to the sauna's heating elements. This not only disrupts the experience for others but also poses a significant hazard. I sincerely hope the management takes… Read more

swift action to address this concerning issue. It's particularly disappointing to learn that only signage was put up as a response.

Furthermore, the lack of proper hygiene practices among certain individuals was quite evident. It's disappointing that some visitors neglect to shower before using the pool, creating discomfort for those who prioritize cleanliness. This aspect significantly detracted from the overall experience.

Equally distressing was the state of the changing rooms. It was clear that basic maintenance and hygiene were overlooked, which is disheartening for those expecting a clean and welcoming environment.

Additionally, the lack of supervision for children in the pool area while their parents are in the sauna and outdoor pool is a serious safety concern. This poses risks not only to the children themselves but also to other patrons.

Overall, this experience has left a sour impression on me. I believe that a concerted effort is needed to address these issues promptly, to ensure a safer, more hygienic, and pleasant experience for all patrons in the future.

Not empathetic to change of situations – My daughter joined up, process went smoothly, they did say at the time if her circumstances change they would look at the contract. Well they changed dramatically and she had to move far away without transport and they no compassion, made her pay

Just want your money – Never go to this place or sign up, they will treat you like nobody then when you go to cancel they will make you pay for 30 days even though they have made you feel unwelcome to go. I have done two contracts with them and haven't signed anything since and I still can't leave I don't even think I signed my last contract.

Worst gym in Brisbane – I would give minus stars if possible. If you have children do not send them to the creche at ajs. The lady that's on in the morning is rude and treats the kids like there nothing. I have witnessed disgusting behaviour. I then complained to management he has know since Friday morning that kids are being neglected in the creche including mine and… Read more

other members children. He has chosen to do nothing about it until Monday. I have emails proving all of this and full of lies and absaloute rubbish telling me I'm not allowed to cancel my membership etc. They also have a report in with ACCC as the manager refuses to cancel my membership I've also handed in a medical certificate stating the creche is not suitable due to staff and still no confirmation of cancellation. This place is disgusting. No morals what so ever. All about $$$

WORST Membership experience of my life! – Hundreds of dollars (if not more) out of pocket for a few visits. This gym is so greedy and uses their policies to rip people off, with no consideration or compassion. My membership would have been due to finish in time for my family move out of the area if COVID had not caused gym shut downs. Instead, I moved at the expected time, had to continue… Read more

paying membership because they would not consider the lockdown time as part of the term of the membership- then no one notified me that my membership term had finished, so was continuing to unnecessarily pay for another 3 months! At which point I still had to pay another month after asking to cancel! DO NOT GO HERE!

Also - initially couldn't really use my membership, because I went knowing there was a creche for my child. Was so busy and ridiculously over any sort of normal child care ratios that I did not feel safe leaving my child here. Often came back to him in absolute hysterics, no-one having contacted me. The gym looks flashy and like its got all the equipment you need but certainly not worth committing to any sort of contract with them.

Pretty bad. Expensive. Outdated equipment. Fenced off, empty area for Crossfit. Overpopulated – Trained here for years, price kept going up. They started fencing off areas of the gym for classes you had to pay additional money for - moving equipment from other areas into the fenced off zone for the duration of the class. Weights equipment looks like it hasn't been upgraded in at least 10 years. The gym is often overpopulated because an… Read more

entire area was turned into 'the coliseum' which is now the aforementioned fenced off area that they use for crossfit and what not.

I now train up the road at Parkinson Aquatic Centre and Gym which has a massive gym frame in the entrance to the gym area so I can literally come in, set up my squat/benchpress/deadlift and train in the one spot for 90% of my workout. All the equipment is brand new and it costs me the same fortnightly that AJ's charge people weekly.

Nil Customer service from Manager – Cancelling a membership came about due to ongoing disappointment from equipment and things at the gym .... poor management of the centre opinion was heightened when the manager displayed repeated poor/no customer service ability. Earlier on the PT sessions which were part of it never happened. Gross waste of money. Disappointed.

AJS Member Review – I have been a member of this gym since i was 18, i joined up through one of my cousins, and i am happy to be apart of the AJ's community. It has done a lot for me. I have lost weight, i started my martial arts journey there, and i have met and socialised with so many like minded but good people, through the gym, over the years. The gym is… Read more

under refurbishment and new equipment is coming in. For a while, not much was going on, but whoever is in charge now, is taking action towards making AJ's better, for now and into the future.

Great gym!! Value for money – Ajs is a great gym - everything you need from massive gym, sauna, squash courts, power lifting and various classes. Customer service is excellent Highly recommend this gym

Box of rubbish – I would strongly recommend never goes to this gyme very rude and uncooperative management just poor . I am very disappointed that why i went and waste my money. Its just a rubbish box

They have everything!!!! – If it's various classes, weights rooms, endless cardio options, pools, saunas, squash courts and much more that your after than AJ's is the place to go. Staff are always smiling and willing to help. Couldn't ask for better place to spend most days of the week doing my workouts.

New Management and some good changes – This gym is under new management. They have installed new equipment, cleaned the place up and refurbed the pools. Would recommend.

ajs gym – Gym only there to help the fit. used to be great few years ago. Everyone was welcome. Even the pools are full of family's having day out to the pool. Have cancelled my membership after paying it for 10 months and not going .. very disappointed

New Management are great – I've been a member for 3 years now and the new management have really made an effort to introduce some new equipment and facilities. Things have happened a bit slower than I hoped but there were a lot of issues behind the scenes that they have had to work on

PT sessions, overpriced and dangerous – I have trained for figure sculpting before and had an old school personal trainer. My recent PT at AJs was charging $100.00 for three half hr sessions....i mean 45 min sure... But what are this new generation of trainers being taught. I now have a sore lower back due to pissassing around with traverse abdominal core training ,in which no actual… Read more

abb crunching was introduced. Wish I had listened to my own gut instinct.

Anyone wanting to join should do classes and weights with a friend not a trainer, as from what I've seen, most PTs think they know best and want your money.

AJ's Gym – The gym needs more kettlebells!! I have been at this gym for a long time and am getting a bit tired of having to look around the whole gym for a kettlebell. The ones in the collossum area are great however having to wait for the class to finish is really inconvenient!

A must see for any Microbiologist – Just go there and see for yourself. I need to write more, it needs a high pressure water cleaner throughout the whole building starting in the steam rooms to remove all the mould. Then empty the pools and replace the water. While the pools are empty remove the sharp tiles from under the water that cut my feet each time I make a turn in the lane. … Read more

Try to stop people from spitting on the ground and enforce taking a shower prior to using the pool and after a steam. Clean the toilets more often, they really stink. The showers taps don't work properly.

The staff are quite rude, maybe they get lots of comments so they are now hardened to the customers.

The gym equipment is soooo old.

If you could just spend a day cleaning up the place with a bottle of bleach and a hose would make a big difference. It has a steam room, sauna, gyms and pool. Quite rare these days on the one premises Someone with money to spend on it needs to take it over. The current owners have neglected the place.

Terrible – DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT GO TO THIS GYM. YOUR BUSINESS IS TAKEN FOR GRANTED AND NOT RIGHTFULLY ACKNOWLEGED, AND ANY ISSUES THAT YOU ENCOUNTER (AND I ASSURE YOU, YOU WILL ENCOUNTER THEM) WILL NOT BE DEALT WITH IN AN APPROPRIATE AND TIMELY MANNER. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. The opening hours are very convenient. And that's it. There is a distinct… Read more

avoidance of adhering to duty of care, by the owner, as the state and sheer stench of the changerooms and toilets attest. On further inspection, the pools are poorly balanced in terms of ph levels and cleanliness, as well as lane ropes that flex from New York to Los Angeles (metaphorically speaking), zero policing of kids and people sitting on lane ropes, gym equipment that is in a shocking state of repair and cleanliness, i.e, weight training machines, cycles used in the cycling class. The carpark area has lots of refuse, MANY nails and other screws (builders refuse) from works that have been carried out over time, just ready to puncture vehicle tyres. When Alan was approached about all these issues, he became very argumentative, and tried to state that no one had a problem in any of these regards before. My photos clearly prove otherwise, and will ensure that this cretin is hung out to dry, and these are available for public viewing, as honest, paying patrons are what makes his business buoyant. It's time to make Alan wake up to himself, and start treating patrons with the respect they deserve, as without them, he DOESN'T have a business.
