Feel more energetic after trying boxing every week. My personal training tutor Natalie is beautiful and very patient. She encouraged me to exercise more and gave lots of useful advises to my lifestyle for example everyday meals. I think I will keep this hobby and have more boxing courses here in the future. Good boxing club to join.🥰
The team at FitClub have been fantastic! They have good support for everyone looking to get fit and learn new skills at the same time. Highly recommend!
Amazing club and Nat is the best trainer. Worth every cent, highly recommend the silver membership. Great team, just do it. Come join it.
Great boxing gym for beginners and for more advanced fighters. Everyone is so friendly and kind. The owners and coaches know their client’s by name and they help you achieve your goals :)

I have been attending Fitclub classes for a few months now. So glad I chose here to start my boxing and exercise journey. Every coach is nice and helpful. Always feel to be welcomed, cared and supported. I love it!
A wonderful, friendly and motivating team!
I started my boxing 🥊 journey about 9 months ago, and never looked back !
I have reached my weight goals and am the fittest I've ever been - all at the tender age of near 40.
Thanks to Geoff and Annie Prestwidge for being so amicable and generous.
And thanks to Natalie for actually getting me onto this fun road !
I am obsessed !

There is such a variety of classes and times, that there is something for everyone.
Working in the city is perfect !
There is no excuse!!!!
I started at Fitclub 2 months back on a free trial session. Immediately moved to a membership package knowing it’s a winner. One of the best gyms in Brisbane. Family owned business vibe with amazing staff. Massively improved my fitness and mental health.
Natalie was very welcoming and Joshua has been great with PT sessions!
Highly recommend this place.

I joined FitClub Boxing Studio 5 months ago with a class pack. It works for me to attend classes when I can & no pressure to join on a membership. Everyone has been supportive whilst I get some strength & fitness back. Great place to train without feeling self conscious about myself & what I am doing. Recommend to anyone 🙂
The most welcoming gym I have trained at. Super knowledgeable, helpful and friendly staff is what in my opinion separates Olympia from any other gym. 5 stars from me.
Exceptional Experience at Olympia Body Transformation Gym!
Thrilled with my experience at Olympia Body Transformation Gym in Brisbane CBD. From the moment I stepped through the doors, I knew I had found a fitness haven that exceeded all expectations.
The level of professionalism demonstrated by the Olympia team is remarkable. The trainers exhibit a wealth of knowledge and expertise, ensuring that every workout is not only challenging but also tailored to individual needs. Their commitment to excellence is evident in the way they approach each session with enthusiasm and precision.
What sets Olympia apart is their unwavering dedication to personalized client consideration. The trainers take the time to understand your goals, limitations, and preferences, crafting a fitness plan that is as unique as you are. This individualized approach makes every workout feel like a collaborative effort, creating a supportive and motivating atmosphere.
And let's talk about results – The transformative journey I've experienced at Olympia Body Transformation Gym has been nothing short of incredible. I've achieved and maintained the body I've always wanted and I've gained confidence and energy that extends beyond the gym.
I wholeheartedly recommend Olympia Body Transformation Gym to anyone looking to embark on their fitness journey. Whether you're a seasoned athlete or a beginner, the team at Olympia will guide you every step of the way with passion and expertise. Without hesitation, I encourage others to trust Olympia with their fitness goals – you won't be disappointed.

Thank you, Olympia Body Transformation Gym, for helping me achieve my dream body and making my fitness journey an absolute joy!
Started my gym experience at Olympia. It has been a great gym with easy to use equipment. The people there are always very friendly and eager to help. I have recommended Olympia to everyone I know. I cannot think of any faults with the gym!!!
It was a really bad experience, someone stole my wallet from the gym, they used my credit and debit card so then, staff was unable to provide further information about the thief, no compensation at all, they only said that the police was checking cameras. I’ve lost all my documents and some money. I wouldn’t recommend the city venue
This gym seems amazing because they got 3 levels, but not really. Most of the equipments are in good condition, A few equipments you can’t see the weight number. The gym in general is clean, just the change rooms are very dirty. Staff seems bored, every time you walk in they don’t look very happy, And the most annoying thing is that from 7pm to 8pm they announce in the mic that the gym is closing. WE KNOW THE GYM CLOSE AT 8pm. Announce a few minutes before you close is ok, but you don’t need to announce every 15min. So annoying
Away on business to fabulous Brisbane from Sydney - awesome gym. Great equipment new - location bang in the CBD - ticks all the boxes. Great overhead fans everywhere - cool ambient temperatures - no bad smells ( except me sweating away! haha I use deodorant I promise just kidding!) Great rest rooms / space. Thanks
For love of God please DO NOT go to this gym, the only thing they are offering is ripping your bank account, my membership ends at the beginning of September 2023 and they still charge me lots of non sense reason.
I hate going to Goodlife
This is a great facility with excellent staff and management. The club has a variety of high quality equipment, so putting together a great workout is never an issue.

Equipment is well-maintained and the amenities are kept spotless - highly recommend!
I’ll keep coming, so long as they keep the weekly boxing class! I encourage everyone to come and try it out… best work out in 30 minutes!
More than a gym, Olympia is home to an amazing group of trainers who are honestly passionate about not just the physical but also mental growth of their customers. You are really made to feel more like "a part of their family" than "just another client" here.

Do yourself a favour and visit this amazing gym. Discover what it is like to be comfortable at a gym and to meet a wide variety of different folk who will support you in attaining your goals. Take the time to talk to the trainers there, and I doubt that you will be disappointed.
I hated it, but you might like the poor service and old equipment. I went to this gym back in 2020 and re-joined in 2023 - amazingly everything is still the same even the smells.
If anyone wants, I've got a $18 per week subscription that I can swap over.
I'm not sure why they haven't addressed the odour issue on the top floor. The entire floor is really outdated and has a strong smell. If they don't plan on closing this gym anytime soon, they should definitely renovate it. Additionally, I've had to use a padlock because my money was stolen from the locker twice. Lately, I've heard of similar incidents happening to both men and women.
Run down..been going to this gym for a while. So much broken equipment. Cable machine missing pin and Caribee, seat press machine - seat doesn't lock and falls back during rep. Not good. 8 items broken all up. It's been like this for a long time.
Best gym in Brisbane! Not only do they have the best Muay Thai coaches straight out of Thailand, they also have a group of dedicated PTs who helps you achieve your goals. In 3 months of training at Olympia I’ve had 3 fights all resulting in wins. Best gym in Brisbane if you’re looking to fight, getting started or improving your game. Definitely the place to learn from the best 100% recommend
Really bad. This afternoon I went to do my work out and this is the first time a trainer doesn't say, hi, or good afternoon or a good welcoming....Not he told me right away that my mountain bike was not permitted inside in a really rude mood. I have been a member of Anytime for over 10 years using facilities all over New Zealand and Australia and I always find the staff happy to find a sport for my bike. however this the first time that a trainer is so rude and instead of finding a solution or welcoming I have felt attacked. Lack of customer service skills. Very bad experience. I am not going back to that horrible place.
I joined before the CBD club opened, replacing two sites (Eagle St and King George Square). The new equipment is great, but it's cramped and crowded regardless of what time of day you head in because they're catering for such a large member base with so much equipment in the gym.
Very spacious gym. Great variety of equipment. Bathroom is large and clean. Only issue is that it was too warm. AC needs to be better.
Terrible gym. Avoid at all cost. There is an Asian personal trainer who struts around like he owns the place taking three fitness stations at a time for his clients. What a rude man. Many other better gyms in Brisbane.
First time at Olympia, I absolutely loved the gym. Everyone was super friendly and made me feel very welcomed! Very attentive coaches with great techniques I will definitely come back when next in Brisbane.
As a long term Goodlife member, this is a fairly terrible gym especially if you are concentrating on weight/resistance training. The gym floor is dirty and crowded, and roof is so low, and it gives off a very claustrophobic vibe.

In addition, the sauna isn’t even really a sauna as it is hardly hot, and the steam room is incredibly small. The change rooms again are grimy and dense, and it’s like you have to get changed in top of one another.

The only positive is the cardio machines, they seem in a good condition and the tvs work well.

Definitely, would decide to go to Goodlife Elizabeth St if you are uncertain of which gym to make your home throughout the week as it is far superior in every aspect.
Very interesting tucked away location with a total of 3 floors.
The female locker area is very big and well lit, the shower stalls are clean and have hooks and locks.
The first floor has a spin class room, some free weights and many treadmills. The second floor has a limited number of strength training machines and some free weights.
This location is quite small and there is not as much space to train with the free weights. The top floor is poorly lit and a dingy and could do with better ventilation.
Coming down the stairs from the second or third floors is concerning, as one false move could send you tumbling straight down 2 floors.
Staff were friendly.
I recently joined GoodLife Health Club on Queen Street and I have been thoroughly impressed with my experience so far. The facilities are fantastic, with a wide range of equipment and amenities that cater to all fitness levels and goals.

The staff at GoodLife are incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. They take the time to understand your fitness goals and provide personalized advice and guidance. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced gym-goer, they are always available to answer questions and provide support.

The gym itself is spacious, clean, and well-maintained. The equipment is modern and well-kept, making each workout enjoyable and effective. The variety of classes offered is also impressive, with options for cardio and strength training

One of the standout features of GoodLife Health Club is the sense of community. The members are friendly and supportive, creating a welcoming and motivating environment. The staff also organize various events and challenges, which adds an extra layer of fun and engagement to the overall fitness journey.

Overall, I highly recommend GoodLife Health Club on Queen Street. It offers a comprehensive fitness experience with top-notch facilities, knowledgeable staff, and a supportive community. If you're looking to achieve your fitness goals in a comfortable and motivating environment, this is the place to be!

Special mention to the staff ( sarah ,kiki and maria)and personal trainers (Scott Vriens,Jackson,Yasmien and Jaiden)
The gym itself is alright, the app just never works meaning you have to spend even more money for the card to access the 24/7 which you pay for..... They make it basically impossible to cancel your membership easily and it's a lock in contract. PICK ANOTHER GYM goodlife is just a cash grab it is not worth the money or work it takes to leave. 100% WOULD NOT RECOMMEND.
Awesome gym, very spacious, friendly staff and awesome equipments. Highly recommend!
Unhelpful staff. Im a club member at King George. when i bring my friend for 1 trial sessions during staff hour. He want to join a gym at new CBD gym. We were told to wait for 15-20mins. Then a staff came over to told us “$20 per trial session even my you friend want to join after trial”.
IMPORTANT!!! When you decide to join the club. Please remember, no matter what the term of your membership is. Even you finished the membership term !!!The membership will be kept ONGOING automatically!!! until you call them to cancel your membership. BE CAREFUL!

Not a honest Gym. Doggy sales. The only thing they care is the money from your pocket.
Big gym with friendly staff. Huge cardio area and a quite large functional area, too. The weight area is big, but 2-3 machines were broken and generally the weights are not in the best shape with some loose screws or bench tops.
However, the gym definitely offers everything you will need for a good workout and they offer a casual pass for $20 if you only visit Brisbane for a few days. That's a big advantage over most other chains in Brisbane CBD.
I'm extremely impressed with the customer service at Anytime CBD. The staff members are friendly, knowledgeable, and always go the extra mile to ensure a fantastic experience. The gym is clean, well-maintained, and offers a wide range of amenities. Highly recommended!
Has really gone downhill recently since Goodlife has taken over. 2 cubicles in the women’s bathrooms have been broken for ages. The sink stinks. Half of the lockers do not work, and you have to borrow a key card to use them as your pass will not open them. Was told they have no plans to change this system. Just seems like they don’t care. The equipment is tired and old. Overpriced for what it offers. Only good thing is a choice of lunchtime classes like pump, combat, Pilates and yoga. The Queen St Goodlife is much better.
Goodlife’s motto is ‘good for life’. They fit out a gym and then never go back to upgrade or refurbish the place for an entire lifetime.

They’ve recently removed the NFC card reader from the front door so you can’t use your phone any more to access the gym and have to carry a physical card… the place is going backwards!!
Would not recommend this gym. Facilities are very old and need updating desperately. I don't know how they get away with calling it a "Platinum Gym". There are still even signs for Fitness First around the lockers despite it being a Goodlife now. Staff members are rude and not helpful, its like they are doing you a favour by deigning to be there. Save your money and go anywhere else. I'd give zero stars if I could.
The gym is all good, I like the functional area, but the toilets are so gross. They have had a sign up about the smell and a plumber for like 2 months. Soup dispenser doesn't work so no soap to wash your hands and they are so dirty. These dirty paper towels on the floor were there Tuesday and still there Friday when I came back. I don't know if they clean the place. I do t even use the toilets, public toilets are cleaner .
After it became Goodlife, it got really bad. Bad cleaning always lack paper towels in the bathrooms and they don't repair the equipment that often only has one. Opening hours are also terrible
Best gym in the city. Wish it was 24 hours. I love the 3 levels. Spacious areas available to set up your own workout. Squat racks are of great quality. Only improvement would be the toilets in the women's area. Some of the doors don't even shut so you can't lock it. Love the Sauna and steam room. Classes are perfectly set up with great equipment. Only improvements needed is better music, sometimes there is no music. The bathrooms need to be updated.
A good amount of the treadmills don't work which is disappointing. The weights room equipment is old but does the job. This area feels very cramped. The ladies lockers don't always work and the toilet always seems to be waiting on plumbing. Great location for those who want a convenient gym after work.
Never did I ever think that the words gym and fun could go together in one sentence. At first I read the reviews and wondered why I couldn't find any bad reviews. I honestly thought it was some weird cult cause I thought how could people be so happy to want to exercise but then I got there and realised it was such a fun gym.

I love how they're always trying to improve their gym and do better. They have top of the art machines and a large range of fun classes for all fitness levels.
Plus I'm yet to find a machine that is broken/out of order. There is no duct tape on these machines either, unlike some other gyms.

If you're considering this gym you should definitely check it out, it's like no other gym.

All the trainers and staff are super down to earth and make you feel so welcome and know you by name. No matter who you are, what shape you are, what Level of fitness you are at, you are accepted here.

I have been with Fitstop now for over a month and it has been a game changer for me, keeping me motivated by the always helpful and inspirational trainers, connected and accountable with the wide variety of friendly members, and fit as well of course. It seems that no one session is the same and every time it is gruelling and rewarding, reconnecting my enthusiasm for gym and circuit training when the standard gym work feels routine, I feel the workouts here are much more holistic and challenging. The comradie between the fellow members is very special and wonderful, everyone is so supportive and welcoming. And it's very addictive, once you start, the trainers and streaks keep you going everyday. Big thanks to the team, Gabby, Michael, Luke, Sam, Les, and others. Cheers 😊
I have been a member of Fitstop Brisbane CBD since it opened almost 2 years ago. In that time it has changed and grown into a fantastic community that has become a daily part of my life.
There is a great variety of exercises for all ages and fitness levels, that never get boring.

Big shout out to all the coaches who make the sessions lots of fun and are compassionate and caring of your fitness needs. Thanks Guys

Probably the best thing about Fitstop Brisbane CBD is the other people who I get to train with. We have a great time with lots of laughs and keep each other accountable and give lots of encouragement. I have made some great friends with the people I have trained with.

I would highly recommend this Fitstop to anyone who wants to train with great coaches. friendly people in a caring and fun environment.

I have been training at FitStop Brisbane CBD over the last three months and have seen huge improvements with my strength and endurance, which is all thanks to the lovely staff members there. I cannot recommend this Fitstop enough to anyone wanting to improve their fitness and overall wellbeing. I made so many friends there who are supportive and amazing to be around when working out.

Amazing positive atmosphere! What a great bunch of trainers! Started 2 months ago and have lost a total of 4kgs, body fat has gone down 4.9% and gained 2.3 muscle mass!
Met so many amazing people in this gym!

Thank you guys so much!
Having recently moved to Brisbane I tried a few different gyms before I found Fitstop Brisbane CBD and loved it straight away. It's a great atmosphere, the trainers are great and it doesn't matter your fitness level - the workouts suit everyone. I would definitely recommend Fitstop Brisbane CBD to anyone thinking about giving it a go!
I immediately felt comfortable and at home at FitStop Brisbane CBD. The team is so friendly, fun and professional and know how to get the best individual results out of their clients. Being in a new city, FitStop has been an amazing community for me to join! Thank you to Luke and the team for having me in the community you’ve created!
Have been a member with Fitstop CBD for over 6 months now and I absolutely love the community, the trainers and the facility. The gym really caters for people who are beginners in a gym and experienced. The staff go above and beyond to ensure everyone feels welcomed and comfortable.
I'd never joined a gym before and had no idea what I was doing, but decided to try Olympia after a friend recommended it because there are "no d**kheads". He was right and I’ve now been a member for almost 2 years.

Everyone's positive and non-judgmental and the coaches are super proactive and helpful. They’ve helped me learn how to use the machines, develop a strength training program, and plan my nutrition. Every member gets a monthly InBody scan to check your progress, and access to a bunch of great classes including HIIT fitness, strength classes, stretching, and even accessible Muay Thai classes! Plus all the trainers are full time employees, so they will know your name and be there to help if you need it.

The facilities are all A+, it's super clean, welcoming and convenient. Makes me genuinely look forward to working out! Yes, it costs more than other gyms, but if you can afford it, it's worth it for the huge range of classes & the quality.
Ok they’ve fixed the music issues here which is nice. But the gym is incredibly busy on weekday peak hours; there’s also a very rude personal trainer who hoards up to FOUR different spots/machines/benches in the morning. Just utterly frustrating. The gym must have like 50+ people on each floor in the morning and there’s this one person hogging 4 spots. He should be banned.
Went to Goodlife on queens for a casual workout and what a great facility. Everything that you could want with plenty of pin loaded weight machines and free weight section. A great selection of cardio including a good number of steppers which are always popular. There at 6am on Friday and not busy at all. Overall, a great gym and would join if I lived in Brisbane.
After a 5hr long return trip last night, due to a locker properly malfunctioning (2 witnessed) in Edward St Goodlife... I don't really want to return to this gym. The staffed hours were not present, and all locker signage indicates that staff will be onsite from 5:30am EVERY DAY... It is unstaffed all weekend - which doesnt really help on a Friday night. There is also no alternative to use your own lock, bypassing any electronic issues. In what really was- the perfect storm of a terrible night - it seems the issue could have been alleviated. Correct signage could have been displayed, and (given the option) I would've used the lock in my bag - that I use everywhere else.
