Top Gyms in Southport, Australia

Avanti Health Care is the only gym that truly puts people's health and care first above everything else. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the welcoming and supportive atmosphere.

One of the standout features is the on-the-floor support available for everyone exercising. The staff ensures that each member gets the attention they need, which makes working out both safe and enjoyable. The automation of machines with customised programs is fantastic, allowing you to do specific sets without the risk of overdoing it. This thoughtful approach really enhances the workout experience.

Micah was incredibly friendly and made the whole sign-up process extremely smooth and hassle-free. His professionalism and welcoming attitude made my first visit memorable.

All the professional trainers, including Charlie, Mitch, and Mahaliya, are very supportive and knowledgeable. Dirk, who did our initial assessment, is especially impressive. He is skilled and professional, always motivating us and bringing out the best in everyone.

Christine’s yoga sessions are the cherry on top. Her technique is amazing, and the sessions are both relaxing and invigorating. Her gentle instructions help us go beyond our abilities in a soothing and supportive way.

The environment at Avanti Health Care is super clean, and the amenities and facilities are top-notch. Every aspect of this gym is designed with members' well-being in mind.

The fellow gym members are also lovely, creating a friendly and motivating community that makes every visit enjoyable.

Every single staff member at Avanti Southport has my utmost respect. They create a supportive, encouraging, and genuinely caring atmosphere. I wish them all the best of luck.

If you are serious about your health, want to age gracefully, and stay well, you must join or at least visit Avanti Health Care to see for yourself. It’s an experience like no other.

Amazing place, I have had a full knee replacement and the workout/cycle is excellent for low impact. Jen is absolutely wonderful and so friendly. For someone like myself who hates gyms this place is awesome, you do not feel awkward or subconscious about body image at all. Definitely come try it out, you will love it!!!

I’ve found Vacufit to be a great low impact exercise alternative in a modern and fun environment. I’ve really enjoyed exploring the different machine / treatment options to enhance my fitness and fat loss goals. The owner is always helpful in providing assistance and advice. I focused on following the recommended program, coupled it with a balanced diet and started seeing and feeling great results in a couple of weeks.

Jen is amazing. So supportive. So much fun. So caring. Best exercise I have ever done. I am 31cms down.

I have been going to both the Southport and Burleigh studios. The sessions are great, effective and definitely work! I’ll continue to come back again for maintenance sessions or a few weeks prior to an event!
Thanks Jen and Carolyn!

I have been going to Vacufit on and off for a year now. I have always had great results. The environment is friendly and inclusive. You can chat or simply zone out whilst you work out.
Vacufit has not only improved my energy levels, cellulite and tone but it has also helped with my gut health.
Easy to do and 30mins well spent. Highly recommend.

I’ve been coming to vacufit - formally hypoxi - for many years, sometimes as part of my exercise routine and sometimes for quick pre-holiday results. I keep coming back as it works (even more so when I follow the port session instructions) and is perfect for time poor people. The studio is clean and very well run by Jen. For anyone thinking of giving it a go, I highly recommend.

Absolutely amazing, this has been fantastic and it absolutely works. I’m 49 and have struggled with that menopause belly and shifting the weight. The results I have received from doing Vacufit has been amazing. It has really shifted my weight and the results speak for themselves. I highly recommend it I have lost 7.5cm from my stomach and a total of 30.90cm overall in just 8 weeks. I could not be happier and the Studio and staff are so encouraging and supportive loved it. Give it a go it’s worth it

Really a great gym for older people. Lovely relaxed atmosphere.
My husband and I love going here.
The way it is set up for ease of use by having wristbands that set up the machines to your applied routine, great for those with limited mobility.
Having trained staff always in hand is also excellent.

I’ve been a member of Avanti now for around 5 x months and I love it!
My main goal was to improve my muscle strength and balance - both diminished after surgeries and treatments. I have improved in both areas and wouldn’t have been able to do this on my own. I’ve always disliked your traditional gym but Avanti is very different. The exercise regime is tailored to you and your goals. I now really enjoy going to the gym - it’s not a chore.
The staff are great, on hand and always friendly and helpful.
The music is pretty good too!

The Avanti Health Centre is a great initiative for over 50’s. It’s fantastic to see members of the community utilising the facility and it genuinely helps everyone from healthy to those with rehab. The staff are amazing engaging people that get involved with members not just stand around. The Centre is evolving, diversifying classes and opening times to cater for its members. Great place and easy access.

My husband and I joined Avanti 6 months ago, we absolutely love it.
We have both joined gyms previously and have never enjoyed going so let our memberships lapse. We both love the atmosphere at Avanti, the staff are always friendly and always there to assist with any questions or just to have an encouraging chat.
We have recommended Avanti to several friends and now have a huge group of us who go together.

I have been a member since September last year. I love Avanti. Staff are extremely helpful and available to help whenever I needed it. At 71 this was my first time at a gym. Since joining I have had a holiday and recently some health issues and during these times Avanti have put my membership on hold. I can’t wait to get back as it has definitely been good for my mental health. My neighbour has recently joined and loves it also.

Avanti is FANTASTIC. As a non-sporty person in my 50s recovering after breast cancer surgery I didn't think I would ever find a place that understood me or my exercise needs...and then Avanti Opened!!! From day 1 I felt welcomed and supported. I have my own tailored program that is achievable and inspiring and there is always someone around to help with questions. The facilities are brilliant; everything is clean and works smoothly; there is air-conditioning (menopausal folk say 'woo!!') and above all else there is a real commitment to helping people meet their exercise goals. I never thought I'd be a gym person, but I've been a member for over a year and it's the best exercise decision I've ever made. I can be myself, and I am getting fitter. I love it!!

I joined Avanti Health Centre in September 2023. I attend at least twice a week. My strength has improved incredibly and I feel much more confident. The centre has an exercise physiologist present. These people are happy to help with advice and encouragement. If you are over 50 years old and wanting to make a change for the better, joining Avanti is an excellent place to start.

Love going to Vacufit. Get a workout when you don’t feel you’re really working out. Trust me you still sweat. The results with Vacufit are fabulous. After 6 week I’ve lost 4 kgs my waist has shrunk I feel so much better. Jen is so wonderful & welcoming

Love this place. Awesome location, cool vibe, super clean and pools are fantastic especially deep dive pool. Little cafe is great too.

The center is excellent and the staff there are so professional and friendly. A lot thanks to Ms Taty, a very experienced teacher of Learn to swim program, who always got the most beautiful smile on her face.

Mum and I both wanted a warm hydro therapy pool for limbs exercise. We both have Arthritis, mum's is quite acute.
We enjoyed the 32 degrees warm pool but as the season changed, we found 32 degrees not as warm as the shower water,!
We decided to skip it for the winter as we are sensitive and catch cold easily. Warm hydrotherapy and spas do require 33 degrees to 36 degrees max.

Great facilities here and is good for competition. A little more shade for spectators would be nice.
It has a good cafe/restaurant attached.

First class swimming venue. There are numerous pools for all swimming deciplines. There is an indoor and outdoor pool facility for "learn to swim" a rehabilitation. In both pools are wheelchair ramps into the water. Plenty lifeguards in each area. There is a small coffee bar and retail swimming shop at the entrance. If you are looking for a substantial meal and a drink, there is a food area at the back of the pool areas called Cafe Catalina. Showers, toilets, and lockers are available. There are floodlights across the pools. Yes, and a toddlers splash pool area too. No alcohol on the premises. Don't forget sunblock and a hat. Please check website for membership and of special events to avoid disappointment.

What a beautiful complex… best place to be on a hot coast day! Only downside parking makes the day more expensive than it needs to be!

Family friendly, have more than one pool & you have the option to free swim or swim laps. Cheap entry fee & discounts for pensioners.
I recommend calling up before arriving to see if there are any school swimming carnivals or sport on first. Only negative is that the diving boards are never open.

Great pool especially outdoor when the sun comes out.kids have so much fun here. Caution notices everywhere and lifeguards really do their jobs. Staffs are friendly and parents can relax here.
