1  Cosmic C.  · This gym has broken unclean equipment, rude unhelpful staff, and will try to rip you off when you cancel. Bad business
1  Robert G.  · Do not use this gym they give misinformation about membership and refuse to give information when you ask

CLUB LIME CORRIMAL. The gym itself is okay. Though it took them 6 months to fix the card scanner/security gates that would scream every time myself and many other members would scan their card. It would take half a dozen goes before you could get in but not before everyone is staring at you because the alarm for said gates is bloody loud. Lol … Read more

Lots of weight hogs here. Too busy socialising and filming their work outs to share the equipment.

Always seems to be a problem with the treadmills, half of them are always out of order. The bathrooms are always putrid.

This particular gym has had a real problem keeping staff. The new lady there is nice, but prior to her arriving the staff would sit in the office all day with the door closed. It’s probably why it took so long for issues to be fixed.

I have had constant issues with my direct debit failing despite sufficient funds always being in my account. I thought it may have been my bank so I used a different bank, different card. It would work sporadically but then I’d get random notifications saying it had again failed. Which wouldn’t really be much of a problem as it’s easy to pay on the app, except they slap an $11 dishonour fee on top of that. A dozen times now I’ve had to pay that fee and I’ve given up jumping on to club lime chat to get it refunded because the staff could not care less. It feels a bit… scammy.

Well… feedback was provided on several occasions without acknowledgement or reply. Several members are ending their contracts with club lime due to the lack of cleanliness and service. 4 ladies behind the counter talking, weights everywhere, machines unclean and falling apart. Finally ended my contract with club lime given how many choices we… Read more

have now around us…. Club lime is rubbish! You had feedback from so many customers and did nothing with it. Shame as the trainers are brilliant

Run away away away – I cancelled on April 11. May 8 is the day of cancellation following the 28 days notice of cancellation. I paid everything. But the staff insisted that I will pay one forth night on May 9! They have two cancellation dates! May 8 and May 25! Be careful with word “re-cancellation” and check your bank statement.

Choose another gym! – I was debited $400 extra after I emailed and asked to cancel my membership… The Club Lime policy charges you for an additional 28 days AFTER you cancel, and you have to cancel by logging into a special website (that I didn’t have access to and never used through my whole membership). Absolutely disgraceful greed. I’m amazed they haven’t been sued… Read more

for misconduct- or maybe they have and can just pay off the legal fees with all their post-cancellation earnings.

Worst service – charged me extra if after the cancellation of my membership. and when i contact their team the reply tgey have given shocked they don’t even know how to reply when customer have a complaint rather than trying to solve the issue they just pointed the mistake of the customer which is not even valid. and before joining the gym they tell u one price and after a month they just kncrease the price. Worst gym and rude team.

Bad customer service forcing payments when notice was given – I went 3 times in the first 2 weeks last year and havnt been since so I don’t find it out of reach to honour next months fee waived. I requested to cancel on the 2nd of January with no corrospondance then again on the 12th of January. Your portal is not easily usable and I was unable to find the link to cancel obviously. When a customer requests in writing twice that should be honoured.

Sneaky increase in fees & no loyalty – I've noticed my fees increasing for the last few months and I decided to reach out. See attached for tax invoice and response from the gym. I don't recall subscribing or unsubscribing. Also why do existing members bear the fee increases and not new members??? New members pay $20.90 / charged $41.80 per fortnight) but I pay 44.68 a fortnight because I'm a loyal customer lol. Show details

ALBION PARK 2527 NSW CLUB LIME The club is very clean and all of the staff are very professional and helpful.The gym is super friendly and everyone gets along. I would recommend Club Lime Albion park to anyone.I was previously at Anytime fitness Albion park and to be honest I would never go back now. Great facilities and great equipment as well.

I attend Redcliffe Club Lime, and it is a great facility that is clean, a variety of machines, and the classes are amazing. The yoga classes and instructors are all great. The Pilates classes are amazing. Nicole is a one of the best instructors I have met and I have been to a lot of classes. Just so pleased with the whole environment and staff.

How hard is it to put all relevant leg machines In a single gym instead of scattering them out over various gyms. You guys suck and I can’t wait to see all the business you lose from all the new gyms popping up in Canberra

Had no issues with the gym and facilities. My GF is a member of a different gym but we would occasional work out together so I would buy her a casual pass. I have spent a lot of money with Club Line. I wasn't using the gym enough due to work and decided to cancel, only to find out I need to give 28 days notice and keep paying for the gym that… Read more

i'm not using. Absolutely scummy behavior. I would have rejoined in a couple of months when i had more time. Now I will be telling everyone to stay away from any Club lime gyms. Why not just let me cancel without a st^pid 28 day notice, what could the notice possibly be for other than to get extra money. Now I will never rejoin this gym.

Scam tactics - don’t fall for the 4/5/6 week free trial offer and no upfront fees. All just a scam. They bill you for the “pro rata” period from sign up day to whenever they feel the period should start - then you can’t cancel during the free trial as otherwise it would cease immediately and they then present you with a 28 cancellation period… Read more

which needs to be fully paid for of course + an additional “pro rata” payment to the end of whatever period they have set in the system. Of course that wasn’t made clear when you signed up. And they later only refer to their T&C which are as unspecific re dates as the whole scam they operate. Aweful! Fraudulent! And now they are targeting teens as well - who aren’t even legally liable. When is ACCC going to investigate?!!!

Club Lime Parkes - fantastic, friendly staff. The place is always clean and tidy. Broken machines are always fixed quickly. Been going for months and never had any dramas.

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

Direct debit “declined” yet I had plenty of funds available in the account and they texted and emailed the same day advising declined payment. Checked account and funds available, i did not top up as funds already available and very next day Club Lime took payment and charged a dishonor fee. Have been following up since 13th Feb with no contact back from this company.

When cancelling your membership they will still charge you for a further 28 days! If you are not using a service you shouldn’t be charged for it. Looting people in the name of terms&conditions. Billing system can't be understood by people. @clublime

Since changing from surge to club lime the gym has been terrible. Staff communication is awful, area managers are nowhere to be seen or contactable. I put a complaint in 10 months ago about me not being able to access the gym. 10 months later still not resolved. I call and email each week, no response. Area manager is not accessible. I have paid… Read more

over $800 of gym fees and still can’t access. No refund, no understanding of my frustration, no resolution.

Do not join club lime!! All my friends have left due to similar reason

During my morning workout at 7.00am, that I have ben doing for over 1 year at the rosebery NSW club, I was requested by a PT to stop what I was doing and move so that this person could run a private session. This is a terrible service.

Excellent facilities and well-maintained equipment, but staff are rarely on site and no one answers the phone during the advertised staffed hours. The gym’s own policy prohibits unaccompanied minors at night, yet large groups of loud, unsupervised teenage boys are often present, creating an unpleasant environment for most adults. I’ve also heard… Read more

numerous complaints about the difficulty of cancelling memberships. Fortunately, my own was cancelled immediately once head office was made aware of the potential liabilities in enforcing a 28-day notice period.

Hi I would just like to thank the Manager at Club lime Blacktown for her outstanding service and smile when working. The staff at the front and so helpful and friendly and always are happy with a smiling face to assist you with what you need. I have been a member for 3 years at Vibe which then changed to club lime. Well done girls at the front :) cheers Matt D

Club Lime is not worth joining. The staff are useless and have zero interest in their job. I have used 7 of their clubs whilst being a member and all were old and in disrepair. The machines are broken for months, and the bathrooms have broken shower heads and taps. It has definitely gone down the drain since they became a public company. Only interested in opening more gyms whilst their older gyms are forgotten. Join another gym.

They steal money, I highly recommend other gyms, better bang for your buck. For those living near the hills two gyms operate closer to residential areas and are much more cheaper and transparent. I had no idea about the 28 day membership cancellation thing. Which is absurd cause then I need to be 6 weeks early to cancellation. The whole company just uses contracts to funnel money out of you before you realise how bad it is and quit

Club lime charged me a $22 fee for having insufficient funds in my account, i believe this is outrageous and unjustified, especially as a uni student with a part time job on minimum wage, its sad to see my hard earned money go to the greed of others. Especially without any notice.

Club Lime Curtin in the ACT currently has 6 cardio machines which have been broken for over 6 months. They also increase fees for members who have access to all localities at least $6 per fortnight each financial year, well above CPI. The facilities in many of their clubs are very old and worn. The ceiling in several clubs leak when it rains. I… Read more

could continue with the negative comments as there are so many things wrong overall with Club Lime.

Please join any other gym in Canberra.

notice prior to membership cancellation , as if I have left them a gap that they need time to find someone to refill.

Their customer service is no class, stay away from them

Club Lime has to quite literally be the WORST gym I have ever ever come across. Their staff are awful. I was scammed in June last year and so I cancelled my card and I called them in October to pay the last 4 months of debt I had accrued at once in good faith in order to cancel my membership. And what do they do? Start trying to charge a non… Read more

existent card again a month or so later. They’ve been trying to charge me for the last 10 months and I have allegedly been accruing debt this entire time despite me sending it to them in writing since January to cancel my membership. My mistake was not having it in writing from October last year when I called them. They are so awful. I’m reporting them to the ACCC and I hope they can be stopped. They only care about profits and not people. Please AVOID at all costs.
