Best Fitness & Leisure Centres

Be very careful, pricing is vague and will catch you out! I took advantage of the advertised $99 intro offer I saw on Facebook (50% off) but was… Read more

charged $198. I queried this and sent them a screenshot of the advertised pricing on their website which states I would get to use 2 pieces of equipment, the massage suit and a bike, in the session. I was told the intro offer was only for use of one piece of equipment and because I used 2 pieces of equipment I pay double. This was never once explained to me or a choice offered during my 3 visits. I was only offered a choice of a lay down or an upright bike. I did argue this point and the very next day was sent a screen shot of the NEW website wording that they had obviously changed after my complaint!! They could clearly see the confusion and promptly acted, no offer of a refund or an apology, in fact denying the words had been changed just to insult me more. If this was a 50% deal then it's a very very expensive activity. In my final session I was not even hooked up to a heart rate monitor. If you plan to try it make sure prices are explained CLEARLY before you start. I have attached a screenshot of the website wording on 12/11/25 and then the new wording on 14/11/25 after my complaint about the price confusion.

Awesome Personal Training – Highly recommend Idealbody4life! Serge is really a great trainer. He's very knowledgeable and careful to make sure you're doing the exercises… Read more

correctly to avoid any chance of injury.

He makes sure the sessions are varied so it doesn't get boring and tailors the program to suit your individual fitness goals.

He really goes above and beyond - checks in on you between sessions to keep you motivated.

He's passionate about what he does and he's just a genuinely nice guy.

Serge trains me and my two friends. It's always really fun and we have a laugh and it's a great, energetic way to start the weekend.

Pitty the price of fees are so high and going up further! OVER $75 per fortnight plus extras costs on top - hidden charges for holidays and to leave.… Read more

Love the staff, even if a lot have left over the years. The Members are wonderful but are slowly getting less and less. And services eg. Classes are slowly going and facilitates are looking outdated - the lick of paint didn't help.

Real pity the owner has lost touch with what other services are available of equal or better value elsewhere. Really only catering for the injured, self funded retirees that can afford to attend, or the die hard favourites. Those who need your services just can't afford it, over 60s plus - your so call target market.

Unfortunately, I have left and found cheaper options and better facilities - win win for me. Sad to leave the Staff and some members but most of the good ones are gone now too.

Think many others will follow - sorry Green Apple you are limiting your time.

Paces like personal best are pretty rare – I typically hate gyms, so moving beyond feeling neutral and actually enjoying every day there is a mean feat. I've been at Personal Best for about 8… Read more

months now and I've amazing results in a short time. The trainers are dedicated and always looking to help you edge closer to your goals. It's awesome and I couldn't be happier :)

Great studio vibe & the instructors really know their stuff. Best in the area

Fantastic gym with the most positive and supportive group workouts I’ve ever been a part of. As an added bonus, I recently completed the FYSL program… Read more

and found it so valuable. Each week, I learned to listen to my body and better understand its needs. Pippa has created a program that cuts through the noise of diet culture and the misinformation that surrounds so many women, providing practical, women-centred nutrition education. I’ve gained valuable knowledge and insights that I now apply to my everyday life, helping me make more informed choices about my health and wellbeing.

Funlife Best gym in the northern suburbs – I have to give another Big shout out to Funlife Fitness Centre. I suffered an injury and could not do any gym work for over 2 months. I thought this… Read more

would impact my membership, however raising the issue with team member Sarah, she instantly resolved my problem there and then. Sarah's customer service in my opinion went well above and beyond what I expected. So again a huge Thank you to Sarah and the team at Funlife 10/10.

Absolutely love this gym – Can’t say enough good things about this gym. The staff are amazing. Nothing is too much trouble. Helen is amazing at the group over 50s sessions. She… Read more

keeps everyone motivated. Always friendly and helpful. She also took me through each machine giving me a great program to follow. The young male trainers are excellent too. I am 68 and feel like I have a new lease in life. The value is incredible giving seniors 20% off a fortnight. I am so happy I joined this gym as I live a 20+minute drive away but was wrapped to see a gym that caters for all ages. Couldn’t find one close to home that catered for my age. Also love being able to rock up anytime night or day using my free fob.

I’ve been coming to this gym for years and absolutely love it. The classes, instructors, and staff are all exceptional—always supportive, welcoming, and incredibly understanding. It truly feels like a community. Highly recommend!

Rude customer service – had a medical exemption from my doctor for medical exemption 3 pages long with all my severe medical history ex cancer patient escalates to an… Read more

argument trying to tell me there qualified doctors knowing my history what's exempt. I'm currently working full time with the medical documentation I have there telling me I'm not exempt so disgusted felt humiliated in front of customers. mind you been a member for 7 years at this gym. poor customer service also phoned the gym prior to visiting it was told its ok with my medical documentation I have.

Best way to work out. The trainer comes to your home with the equipment.

I’ve been coming to KX Liverpool consistently since Feb and have always had a very positive and welcoming experience until tonight. I don’t know why… Read more

this still needs to be said in this day and age but WOMEN DESERVE SAFE SPACES TO EXERCISE!

During the routine hamstring stretch one of the male owners took a video of myself and the class without permission (or knowledge) to (assuming) post on their social media platforms for PR. ‍♀️

Western Sydney women have the right to access health and wellness services that are culturally/socially sensitive and safe.

When I tried to approach the male owner after the class regarding the video, I was snubbed as the KX team was occupied trying to exchange R U OK day roses for PR content from their clients.

On my way out I noticed a Muslim woman wearing a hijab and felt compelled to warn her that the male owner takes videos of the clients without their permission and knowledge. She thanked me and said she’ll be vigilant. #womenlookingoutforwomen

This is completely unacceptable and disgraceful conduct from a female targeted fitness service located in one of Sydney’s most culturally diverse communities.

I’ve been attending the gym for over 3 years and really enjoyed it. As I’m retired I go during the day. There is a wide variety of activities so… Read more

you are bound to find a few that suit you. I love the pool, although I only use the indoor pool as it is heated. I’ve recently started attending the Dance fit class on Mondays and it is a lot of fun. I’m not very good because I’m new to it, obese and old (72) and I have lung damage but I can approximate what the instructor does and that is fine. I find that the aerobic exercise helps my breathing. The staff are great although I’d like to see more middle aged staff/pt instructors. The cafe is excellent, offering a good choice of healthy meals and take away options at reasonable prices.

excellent teamwork and trainers', lovely community and workout sessions, I completely recommend!!!

Great gym – Good gym and great equipment. Especially for legs. Must train at

Great gym for helpful friendly service.Staff are first class and cater for all ages and conditions – absolute fabulous gym for a happy and helpful place to get fit and healthy.Staff are first class and friendlyI.am into my 70ths and there is so much for older people to do.

Achieve goals, get results – You are greeted by name as you walk through the door. The trainers are friendly, knowledgeable and they assist you with every workout. Just like… Read more

they advertise, you are called and encouraged to make a booking if you have not attend the gym for a few days. I have trained there for 3 years now and have achieved far more than I ever dreamed possible. Can't hide the wrinkles, but I am feeling 30 years younger. Fitness is a long term process. These guys understand where you are at and work they with you.

Alive Health & Fitness Narrabundah – Member Review I’ve been going to gyms on and off most of my life. To be honest, I never really enjoyed it — I… Read more

went mainly because of weight issues, and while it helped, it was never something I looked forward to.

That all changed a year ago when I joined Alive Health & Fitness in Narrabundah, ACT. I absolutely love going in and training now. Every time I step through the doors, I’m greeted with a smile, and most of the staff know my name — which makes it feel so special. I genuinely feel like part of the gym family.

The staff here are exceptional, and I’m so grateful to them for making every visit start with a smile. I even challenged myself to try a couple of group classes — and OMG, Rachel (3D30) and Janelle (Power) are amazing instructors! I’m officially hooked and will be attending more of their classes for sure.

Alive Health & Fitness is hands down the best gym I’ve ever been to — and I’ve been to a lot.

Thanks, team. Raf

Great facility the owners and personnel trainers off support and communication

Too crowded – Since Covid, we have more people from other gyms, treadmills restricted and equipment removed. Because of the sanitising requirement it takes longer… Read more

to wait for a machine and they are all old, old, old. Also, parking is limited On the plus side, the staff are friendly. Kris

I was discriminated against for partial hearing loss at Elixir Club Bondi Junction and not allowed to attend further Pilates Reformer classes. I was… Read more

told wearing hearing aids is unsuitable. No explanation given as to why wearing hearing aids is unsuitable. I was advised that I was being discriminated against by text message from the Membership Advisor rather than in person. At my first Pilates class I didn't wear my hearing aids and mentioned to the instructor that I normally wear them to hear better. The instructor then advised me to wear my hearing aids in order to hear her better next time. Then I received a text the next day saying I was locked out from attending further classes. When I asked at the front desk what was happening the two staff on duty referred me back to the Membership advisor who was unavailable until Monday, after the weekend. The front office staff also said if they try to contacting management on the weekend they are ignored until Monday. When I mentioned the text message advising I was being being blocked from attending further Pilates classes because of my hearing aids they acknowledged that thhey know about that but didn't want to say as it might be hurtful (or maybe they were embarrassed at having to deliver such a message). They also acknowledged that they knew how it felt to feel discriminated against based on their ethnicity. Mixed and confusing messages and discriminatory. After providing my customer feedback and expressing my frustration and hurt by being treated this way, the front office staff became defensive and asked me to leave the premises.. Ironic given the decor of the club is Buddha themed yet they are not true practitioners of compassion in reality. In my career I've learned customer feedback is gold to a firm, that companies pay millions to learn what customers are really experiencing. And to ignore real time customer feedback is folly.

Sensational! – I have 2 days remaining of a 2 week stay in Victoria, and cannot recommend this retreat highly enough. The food is delicious and beautifully… Read more

prepared, and the accommodation is located in lovely settings. The program is varied, and challenging, and results are much better than I expected. But the stand out feature is the staff. The trainers and presenters are a cut above the average PT - they’re intuitive, empathetic and incredibly knowledgeable. OnTrack has been the best investment I’ve ever made in my health.

No pretentiousness here – I have moved away now and will miss this gym. Friendly staff and instructors, affordable, no pressure to look a certain way or be a certain age.… Read more

Classes, equipment to cater for all interests. Love that there are not mirrors everywhere. If you are someone who needs a female only environment for cultural or personal reasons, it may not be for you as there are a few male trainers and instructors. Surprisingly it may not be the best for the Perimenopausal who need air conditioning all year around as it’s often off during the quieter times. Would be great if the staff could have in depth training on the debilitating effects of menopause on women and the benefits of exercise. If they did, the air con would never be off!

I used to recommend this place as I have been here for years. However it has changed over the years. It is not the cleanest place. Not much… Read more

consideration is given to members or instructors.

Yoga classes have recently moved to a cold room where large groups of people are outside making lots of noise and group fitness classes are often back to back, not giving instructors a break or allowing for proper class turn around times. Even today, we are doing a restorative yoga class as school swimming sports were on and children were continually screaming on their way past the toilets. Staff do nothing to ask for quiet.

The bathroom tapware is peeling to the extent that you can cut your fingers on the poorly plated taps and this sink has been filling up with water for weeks.

Certainly can not recommend as place to go for yoga any more despite the fact that the yoga instructors are fantastic!

I cancelled my membership but they continued to charge the $5 for a month (the hold fee) to be on hold instead of being cancelled. Then charged the… Read more

full fee again a month later. Badly run, multiple phone calls to get a credit. Putting holds for certain times are continually mismanaged and have to be 2 weeks or more. Not enough parking on some days. People not using towels in the gym when there are many signs saying they must be used.

Great facilities and location – Great facilities, equipments are well-serviced! Not crowded in the morning, great for a quick gym session and shower before going to work! Suggest to hire more staff for shower clean up.

It’s not unusual to judge a business by it’s name so compliments here on this. In a busy world and where everyone is pressed by time whether this… Read more

surrounds values, time management and productivity it also neglects to have seen the opposite side of the same where ‘in a hurry going nowhere faster than what could have progressed at a slower pace with more well rounded results’ also has it’s too slow.

Yes, the qualifying (eeew qualify)!

In short, your Sorrento Club was softest on my eyes rather than the fast paced colours selling this “lifestyle’ where time dedicated to one’s health can often present itself as a trend or perhaps a fleeting phase rather than being of genuine quality and care for what is also an investment in our fellow selves help.

Punch line: Selves Help Industry - SHI

To finish this off I will also add that I just googled yourselves to see what Re-Creation was doing these days.

Stay well.

Gym was okay, had a decent selection of equipment. Just wished there was more lighting in here as it can get quite dark in some areas.

Unfortunate disappointment – Loved the classes and some trainers at browns plains , good price. Creche is basic and wants perfect children so they don't need to do anything. Left… Read more

after being told by owner to leave my child at home after one temper tantrum, no second chance at all. Went for 6 months until this happened. Such a shame, would join again if he ever leaves and I dont need a creche.
