I was a member here for many years and really liked it. I used to recommend this place to people in the area. However i got an injury. My boyfriend went in instead and transferred the account to his name. After a few months I wanted to get another membership for myself as I was ready to start training again. We went inside, no one was at the counter. We pressed the bell and waited for 10min. After no staff appeared to be present we proceeded to work out. I fully intended to pay when staff arrived. Later on a guy confronted me saying he worked there. I explained that we had been waiting at the front and that no one had been there. Instead of allowing us to get another membership he started arguing with us and accussed us of trying to sneak in and not follow the signs (which apparently had a phone number but i hadnt seen that). I paid the entry fee instead as he was being so rude and aggressive I wasn't sure if I wanted to sign up for an additional membership anymore. He then continued to argue and yell at us. We were planning on continuing the work out but he was yelling at us and following us down the gym floor. We decided to leave as he was being so aggressive and yelling at the top of his voice. He proceeded to yell and follow us out the exit and down the stairs while screaming at us. This was the worst customer service experience of my life. In no situation is it appropriate to yell at people and literally chase them out a door. This person is insane. Not sure if he was drug/roid affected or if this is his natural presentation. Instead of is paying for an extra membership we now plan on cancelling the other one as well. I have lived in fitzroy for years and will now be recommending for everyone i know to avoid this place. This could have been avoided if the staff had had some basic manners and not acted like violent aggressive thugs.

A medium-size, no frills, non-pretentious, grassroots community gym with kind and supportive staff who don't treat their members like a number, rather, like family. Impeccably clean facilities and amenities with a quality assortment of old, but mostly modern machines and weights, as well as some crossfit equipment. The bathroom signs are quaint and super retro, but I absolutely love them. The key word here is QUALITY over quantity and that's the reason I come to this independent gym over anywhere else. Props to Shehane, Mel, Andy and the rest of the crew for running a tight ship.

  • Chris Waugh

Best gym I've been to. If you're serious about training this place has it all. Most of their equipment is hammer strength and there are so many options particularly for legs. I loved every minute of training here. There's also a sauna which is an absolute god send after those gruelling squat days. The owners are lovely and super approachable. They went out of their way to help me both in and outside of the gym. Can't speak highly enough of this place. Absolute winner!

  • Joey Chestnut

Superb Gym! I've been a member for 12 years and the place keeps on getting better by the year. The recent renovation has taken this gym to the next level. With massive floor space and state of the art equipment this gym satifies all age groups and experience levels. There is no wait time on equipment either because there is so much of it. The staff are great! They are really helpful and welcoming which gives the gym a great vibe. Cant recommend this place enough.

  • Coral Montero Lopez

The staff are very friendly and is quite cheap, but the machines are very, very basic, with a lot of them not working. Free weights and bands seem to get stolen quite often so you can't rely the equipment will be there next time. One thing to consider: you must pay a deposit for the "key" when you sign up, and they will tell you that you can claim it back if you cancel your membership, but if you pass the first month mark, you won't get your deposit back.

  • Chris Bailey

Great gym, good atmosphere, friendly and great trainers. Just started at Fitzroy Gym and love it. Plenty of room for floor work as well as the machines and free weights. Even when a lot of people in there are enough machines so there are always options. Open 24/7 so can train at my convenience (need to be a member to train outside staffed hours). Staff super friendly, supportive and knowlegable. Give them a try, plenty of payment options.

  • Nick Tran

I've been a member since 2017 and never have I thought about changing gyms. Good location in the heart of Fitzroy. As far as value for money goes, you can't beat it. A very welcoming community of gym-goers, which is great for beginners who may feel intimidated initially. All the equipment you need, and open 24/7 which works for any schedule. Super flexible in terms of pausing/renewing contracts. Would highly recommend.

  • Tommy Mitsis

Been going here for 5+ years and I confidently say it's in the greatest condition it has ever been in. Friendly new management, new state of the art equipment, and an optimised layout. Whether you are interested in cardio or strength training, this gym has it all and caters to all fitness levels from beginners to the most experienced. Oh and there's a sauna too!

  • Kell Thomas

I have been a member for this gym for almost 2 years now with no plans to move on or chance any time soon. The gym floor is a decent size and with a variety of free weights, machines and and racks etc.. - not to mention plenty of plated weights throughout. Further adding to the positivity of the gym are the staff who are friendly and approachable.

  • Mario Marquina

This is place is, generally speaking, cool. Generally cool people come here. It has old equipment, cranky showers, a tiny sauna, too much ventilation on one room and not nearly enough in the other. They trick you into coming here offering a free trial by email, but when you arrive they suddenly decide you have to pay for the day. Cool, thanks.

  • Emily Stone

I agree with many of the 1 star reviews here that trying to finish your contract is a nightmare. I was being hounded by debt collectors for months despite not having used the gym in over 2 years. As a female it's also not the best choice in the area. Far more female friendly gyms to choose from. Can not recommend.

  • Indu Devanath

So much breathing space. So many different varieties of equipment and machines to work out with. It has a unique historic character and also the enthusiasm of the new, blending so well to reflect a very distinct style. I absolutely love this place. It's a gem of a gym. I strongly recommend it.

  • David G

Avoid this gym, terrible experience when finishing contract. It’s now 3 months after cancelling in writing and still getting charged. Owner is a nightmare to deal with. Unfortunately it seems like a common experience. Will have to lodge chargeback with my credit card to resolve.

  • The Mino W

I've been going here nearly 20 years and love the price... spaciousness and non pretentious vibe. Post lockdown it's been renovated so light and bright and always meticulously clean. Staff super friendly and open to requests. Can't say enough good things. Check it out!

  • declan gaynor

Tried to cancel my membership after moving house.tried calling everyday for weeks with no response. Took them over two months to respond to emails. they still made me pay for a further 4 weeks of membership before cancelling the membership. Bunch of crooks

  • Zac Weavers

Been coming here for over a year now and it's been perfect! All the equipment you could need, casual and friendly vibe, affordable and the staff always make you feel welcome. It's even got a sauna! Highly recommend coming here if you're in the Fitzroy area
