EFM Health Clubs

I have been going to EFM gym at Westmead and Justin has been looking after me since I started going to the gym helping me with my fitness and weight loss and my Wife has started going to the gym as well Show reply

I love this gym – New equipment, womens only area, great app which tells you how you’re going. I just wish there were more low impact classes in the middle of the day. I live so far away from the gym and I struggle with high impact as I’m not twenty anymore. Always feel welcome at emf coomera. Show reply

Gym with a difference – 1000+ member says it all. EFM Frankston is a small friendly gym with motivating coaches to be there to assist with a different program everyday. Never get bored. Highly recommend you come and check it out.

Liars. T&C say "come into gym to cancel". You go in, and no, you have to wait for them to call you. Which they don't. They say "2 week cancellation notice".. nope. I went in the day after payment came out so I've actually got 4 weeks as apparently I have to pay again in 13 days - for another 14 days membership not 1 - which is what a 2 week notice would be. Do not use this gym.

Stay away! Don’t give them your credit card or bank details. If I could give zero stars I would. Trainers and teachers are awful. They continue to take your money after you leave and then ghost you; won’t take phone calls and only communicate via email, so don’t hold your breath for refund. Absolutely no care AT ALL & the owner doesn’t give a &#!T. There are tonnes of other gyms - avoid this one!

SCAM membership structure – After Shoulder surgery and then Knee surgery that caused long layoffs from using the gym, they refused to refund me for been overcharged and never did I receive an option to cancel membership over this 2.5 year saga - Once they get your direct debit they are like leaches - Never sign up with them however the Manager Nicole was excellent BUT the… Read more

higher management are A.. H... with the refusal to refund membership fees taken from my Cr Card. It was only now that I have been provided with a membership cancellation form. I have email proof of all claims.

I’ve been a member of EFM for 12 years, which really says it all. The coaches are outstanding—knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely invested in helping people improve, no matter their level. If the gym wasn’t this good, I wouldn’t have stayed for so long, and neither would so many other long-term members. It’s a friendly, welcoming place with a… Read more

real sense of community, and the no-mirrors environment keeps the focus on training, not appearances. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone. Terry-Ann EFM Underdale

I use the EFM gym at Westmead. The owner is the most helpful trainer I've met and the other trainers are friendly and helpful too.They really understand my needs as an older person and makes going to the gym fun and worthwhile. Everyone who attends the gym are friendly and there are no issues with access to the equipment. It's a small gym but has everything I need. Cost is very reasonable and I'm not locked in to a contract. Show reply

EFM Westmead is a great gym and the location is good for the locals and everyone to get to a prime location! The trainers are fantastic always made me feel welcome and they go through each exercise and show you what to do! We have a great diversity of people that go and are all very friendly! Show reply

If I could rate zero I would – Kept taking money off me even after giving them 1 months notice, moved out west and didn't have an emf near me. Will never go to one of their gyms again, what an absolute scam. Had to call my bank and cancel the debit Don't do it!

Another nasty Gym with hard to cancel rules and unconscionable behaviour – Gyms are famous for making it difficult to cancel. I was permanently injured and could not contact the gym for many weeks. I also had a rehab period. Very difficult time in my life. Realised gym membership still debiting. They want the two weeks notice. Not interested in my story. Never emaile d me to ask why I stopped coming (so easy to set up an… Read more

auto email for this you idiots) but one day after a late payment : BOOM email. I just stopped paying and cancelled the debit card. Gyms have become the low life sales industry of the 21st Century.

Deceitful, unethical and unprofessional – Business owners - if you’re wanting to sign your team members up - beware. The memberships are not clearly explained nor transparently advertised on the website and in flyers. At the time of sign up, the EMF staff member and I spoke only about the Flexi Gold which the team member confirmed can be cancelled. Turns out the contract that was put in… Read more

front of me wasn’t for this and was a lock in contract which now can’t be cancelled. Definitely do not trust or recommend EMF, what a hugely disappointing experience. Customer service is most certainly not the cornerstone of this business, deceit and greed is. Matt was also incredibly unhelpful when I visited in person, props to the new lady who had only just started who took the time to at least show me around and showed empathy for my concerns.

I love my gym – I've tried many gyms over the years but have eventually got bored and dropped out. A friend suggested I join the Burnside EFM in Adelaide. I love it. I've dropped 11 kilos and look and feel fit . Its the best gym ever.

Best value gym I've experienced – I've been to many normal gyms over the years and struggled with no support or help with different exercises. EFM is perfect for me as you have all the support of a coach with you and they take you through a different session every time you're in the club, plus it's all included in your membership. For me that is a massive bonus as I couldn't… Read more

afford to pay for personal training on top of a membership at previous gyms. I really appreciate the support and welcoming environment the coaches create amongst all the members.

They’ve been ripping me off for months just found out they’re still taking money out of my account way after I Finnish – My membership has been over yet they still have been taking money out of my account what kind of a company does that totally unprofessional you try and call and no one answers

No response and make me feel I am wasting my time! – I have been seriously been interested in joining and I have tried going to two different EMF Health Clubs to enquire, and they NEVER get back in touch with you, and they NEVER answer their phones! A complete waste of my time. I understand they can be busy, but at least show some customer care/service when someone new is interested comes in.

EFM Torrensville is the best – Great friendly atmosphere. The trainers really make you feel welcome and I have really seen a difference in my overall health and fitness in my 3.5 years here.

EFM SAHMRI is dedicated to helping people achieve their health and fitness goals – I was initially hesitant to join a gym, associating it with anti-social testosterone-fuelled blockheads and fit show-offs of which I would only compare as an embarrassment. However, I finally had enough of my dismal state of strength and fitness and that’s when I decided to join Coach Simon at the EFM Health Club SAHMRI (North Terrace). I was… Read more

pleasantly surprised; not only was I gaining a cost-effective, committed and approachable personal trainer, but the social atmosphere Simon fosters is one of encouragement and laughter with normal people of all ages and fitness. Despite the strong banter and complaints, Simon always knows what you are capable of before you know yourself and has consequently helped many people to achieve their goals. Personally, I have come to love weights and cardio and in the 3 months I’ve been there (equating to more than 80 hours of gym time) I have lost 7.0kg of total body fat and gained 2.8kg of muscle. I would highly recommend Simon and EFM SAHMRI for anyone seeking to improve their overall fitness and health in a fun, non-judgemental and non-competitive environment.

Personlised service at affordable price – Love my time with EFM. Have been a member now for several years. Personlised service offering a daily program and modified to suit my needs as i have an injury. Always a coach onsite do guide me through each session, set my machines and set some goals along the way. Have tried many other fitness programs which dont deliver my needs but EFM… Read more

continues to deliver my results. I highly recommend giving them a go, yes maybe a few $$$ more than the big commercial gyms but you have the daily programs and coach there the entire way.

Making new employees work for free before commencement of permant position – EFM Health Clubs business requires all new employeed to first undergo a whole month of unpaid trialling for the position which is usually full time hours for a month. In my situation throughout my trial I was promised a position however to the end of my trial I was told that they gave the position to someone else just because.

Still waiting – Does anyone ever answer the phone. I have been calling EFM for two days. Left messages. Still no answer or response. Was interested in joining. Not so sure now.

Personal attention given to each member – A gym where you are guided through your training sessions and you get the actually get the benefit of coming to the gym.

A place to keep coming back to – I've been going to Ringwood EFM for about 3 yrs now and would find it hard to go back to a regular gym. The best part for me is the relaxed, friendly feel of the place and the helpful staff who know me well and what I need to work on. I hadn't really been comfortable in gyms before the EFM gym but attended reluctantly due to health issues.

Great club to workout at – Really enjoy that the trainers are there to guide me through and push me when I need it. Plus the atmosphere and people are great which makes it much easier to stay motivated

Love this gym – I have been a member of EFM for over 10 years and love coming back each session. Programs are different each time and are challenging but enjoyable. The instructors are supportive and encouraging. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

EFM Marion very friendly and supportive – I am in my 60's and have never liked gyms until I started at EFM Marion. Marcus really listened to my concerns and ensures that the workout is appropriate for my capabilities. It is very inclusive and everyday I become more confident in my abilities. I still dont loveworking out but it is becoming more enjoyable. Thanks Marcus.

EFM Health Clubs Glenelg - love the culture and friendships you make – I have been a member of EFM Glenelg for over 10 years. Love the friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Everyone is supportive and encouraging. Simon is genuinely interested in all of this members. He knows your own personal goals, and will help you to achieve them. Plus the social events are amazing - especially monthly drinks with all the members! Thanks to Simon and his team.

Perfect for people needing support and assistance through a fitness program – Initially wasn't too sure about the opening hours (my local club is open for a few hours in each of morning, lunch and evening) but I actually find those to be perfectly fine with me. I can't work out during the days anyway and couldn't possibly work out later at night as I'd never sleep! Found the fitness trainers to be incredibly helpful. I'm, a… Read more

"middle age" female and have not been to a gym for quite some time, so loved the fact that I had a trainer to guide me through each workout. I'm 5 weeks in and very happy. Could almost have rated them 5 stars.

Find a better gym – The gym don't follow their own opening hours. I turned up expecting a good workout session only to find out it's closed. Not sure why that is. Tried calling them and left messages too. The people that works there are nice but management is questionable. I can't wait until the month ends so I could quit. Need to join a gym that is more reliable.

Disappointed – Joined EFM health club based on website advertising personal training, support etc. Seemed good initially however I do not rate them highly for several reasons, for example very worn floor mats which look unhygienic. Fans but no air conditioning!! and very restrictive opening hours i.e. open only for two hours over the weekend (Saturday mornings)… Read more

and closed between 10:00 and 3:30 pm week days. All a disincentive to attend.

One positive at EFM is the presence of a personal trainer at all times, (reflected in their fees), and all have been excellent, however personal attention depends upon numbers attending.

Don't Waste Your Time and Money – Don't Bother. Spoke to some workmates who were using this gym at their workplace. They hated it also, same issues around sneaky sales tactics, poor service, bad opening hours etc etc. Just joined Vision PT and I love it. You get up front honest service and real help to achieve your goals.

Gladesville EFM – Have trained in many of the bigger gyms where you are only a number. The personal trainers at EFM provide ongoing support in a small & friendly environment. There are no lock in contracts & nothing is too much trouble for these energetic positive young trainers. I wouldn't be comfortable at any other gym.
