Top Physical fitness programs in Mermaid Beach, Australia

I highly recommend the Loco HQ crossfit gym, which for me is the best on the Gold Coast ! More than just a club, it's a real family that welcomes you and makes you feel good! The equipment is top quality and the coaches are always there to guide you and explain the moves and the work of the day. A special mention goes to Paco's 3 daughters, who are already real champions in their teens and make you want to surpass yourself 💪. It's the ideal place to let off steam after work, challenge yourself, get back into sport or simply have a great time with friends. Exceeding your limits and good spirits guaranteed!

I absolutely love training at Loco. The coaches live and breath what they teach and are super passionate about what they do.
There is a wide range of fitness levels, skills and capabilities. No one is left behind. I love that it isn’t your typical gym filled with 20 year olds in full make up spending more time on Insta than lifting weights!
If you want to hit PB’s or just train with a fun bunch of people Loco is the place for you! Loco for life!

Loco HQ is the place to be on the GC. I am GC born and bred and have been to a lot of gyms here but nothing that truly felt like home and pushed me to my limits. It embraces a family-oriented atmosphere and offers exceptional workout programs. What sets this gym apart is its dedication to providing a welcoming environment for everyone, regardless of age or fitness level. Loco has an incredible range of workout programs designed to cater to families, ensuring that each member can achieve their individual fitness goals while bonding together. The head coach is an absolute force of nature, bringing an infectious energy and passion to every session. Paco's crazy yet effective coaching style motivates and pushes me to new limits, leaving me feeling accomplished and excited to return for more. The same can be said about Annette and Mish who support and motivate you, ensuring correct form and technique.

Loco's commitment to family fitness is truly commendable. They offer a variety of group classes that cater to all age groups, making it a breeze for families and individuals to work out together and have fun in the process. The amenities and facilities are top notch offering a comfortable place to workout and socialise. I've been at Loco HQ for 6 years and I am challenged with new workouts each week.

Loco isn't just a gym but a family!

Such a fun and supportive place to workout! I’ve been training with Paco and the crew at Loco for the last 5 months and absolutely love it.

Workouts are a challenge, the coaches keep you motivated and give knowledgeable advice and instructions. Sessions cater for all fitness types with modifications for whatever your ability (or if you just want to have a lazy day, that’s ok!).

The gym is more than just a place to workout, it’s a community you want to be a part of.

Can’t recommend it enough!

It’s a pleasure to be part of the Loco Familia 🫶🏼

Loco is the perfect gym for everyone!! Paco has created a community where everyone can feel strong and confident. The programming is also amazing and can be catered to all skill levels. I love this place and felt right at home when I joined :)

Paco is a legend! Gym was great and everyone is really friendly and welcoming.

Workouts were tough but worth it! Definitely recommend.

An amazing environment for sure one of most incredible gyms I’ve ever been too. A place for all levels and goals. I am still learning and I can't wait to improve my results more and more. It's good to know that I'm in a place that at the same time is pushing me to improve every day and at the same time respecting my limits! Just love for this place 🫶🏼

I joined loco in July 2017. It was the premiere of Ninja Warrior show in Australia. I’ve always been fascinated with how these people do it. I’ve researched around GC and trialled few CrossFit gyms that offer functional training but nothing that has OCR training and then I saw LOCO HQ on tv. I trialled, and I joined the challenge. I got hooked! 💪🏼

It’s been 5 years and I’m still here, so many changes happened, changes for the better and now I am one of the coaches 😊. How about that? That’s how much I love this gym and most of all I love the people.💕

When I joined LocoHq I was still kind of new in GC, and it was difficult to fit in, difficult to find friends, difficult to find gyms. But in LOCO I did not only find a gym that I LOVE , I found FAMILY. 💕
Come and join the Loco Familia!

Hi.
Since moving from Sydney to the Gold Coast I was very fortunate to have found Pilates at this Lovely Private Space
With Dee and Julian for over the past 2 years now
As I didn’t know many people and new to the area I really have been so lucky to now class them as Friends.
They and Their Studio is so welcoming
And Professional. Also they are both very accommodating and absolutely
A joy to be around each morning
I have had the pleasure of doing Private Classes regularly each week as well as group classes
My Body and Posture has improved immensely and as I am
In my 60 s now I continue to be flexable and any back and leg issues I have are being treated with care.
I always leave their Studio on a high
And always look forward to seeing them both
I feel that the difference in Julian and Dees Studio is the Personal Interest
They take in looking after each and every client. Also the mix of ages and
Lovely relaxed feeling we all get when we’re there makes a person feel like part of a family
I intend to be there for as long as I can and just so happy I found their Studio
It really is one of a kind and rare to find these days
Big Thanks to them both. Viv 😀🙏

Since being at Pilates Pad from the beginning I have never been so fit and toned. Every session is a great overall body workout targeting core strength, balance and mobility which is so important with being in my mid 50’s. The instructors are always teaching us the correct technique for every exercise to get the best results and remain injury free. Davina, Julian and Dani are so genuine and really care about my progress. I always look forward to going to my sessions throughout the week and it is now a lifestyle that I can continue throughout my life. I’m so thankful I have found The Pilates Pad!

Best Pilates studio I have ever been to!
I have noticed such a huge improvement with my core strength, body toning and over all posture.
Davina, Julian the owners & Dani are such fantastic instructors always pushing you to you to your limits physically.
The instructors are all very knowledgeable with technique correcting you throughout the session so the correct muscles are targeted.
Overall The Pilates Pad has such an amazing vibe, everyone’s always so welcoming and friendly!
Couldn’t recommend more!

I have been going to The Pilates Pad for over 4 years now and absolutely love it! The instructors are amazing, with such great attention to technique. It has also helped my back pain immensely and I look forward to my classes every week. Thanks Dee & Jules!

The team at The Pilates Pad are 10 out of 10! I started with them at 22 weeks pregnant and Jules and Davina seamlessly modified proper exercise so suit my needs and rapidly changing body. I was able to continue with both group and private classes until 3 days before my baby was born. I felt well, strong and I'm convinced that practicing pilates during pregnancy has made the pregnancy niggles minimal and the recovery faster.

I can't thank you enough for safely looking after me and my bump these past 5 months! You guys rock and I highly recommend for anyone expecting to do yourself a favour and pop in for a fun, upbeat class.

A thousand thank yous!

I have been attending classes at the Pilates Pad for over 6 months now.
The moment I walked in I felt an extra sense of care, given especially from all of the teachers and owners Davina and Julian.
I never have an issue with getting into classes, the workouts are always challenging, and the studio has a nice atmosphere.
Keep up the great work :)

Very impressed with the Pilates Pad! I have only been going a few weeks- but I've had classes with owners Julian and Davina. Their attention to detail and fun classes are amazing. The studio is welcoming and very clean. I also really enjoy the smaller class sizes. It means I can really focus on and improve my technique. I will be recommending this place to all my friends!

The best Pilates class I’ve ever done! The instructors are extremely experienced and really strive to help you achieve great results. After 2-3 classes per week and 2 weeks in, I noticed results and felt so much stronger in my core! Highly recommend.
