Matt inspires and encourages at every stage of training. With clear teaching of techniques and practical application. Helps that he's a lovely guy too.
I've been going to NYF for a couple of years, and couldn't have asked for a better place. Matt puts so much passion and care into the training programs and structure, and truly cares for the community there. After coming back from an injury, both Matt and Hayley were so accommodating and the perfect balance of supportive, instructive and compassionate. There is a huge difference between NYF and a lot of the other gyms when it comes down to the technicalities of the movements and why we are doing what we are doing, and a focus on correct form. At NYF, I also gained a community, with the people who go there a testament to the space Matt has built. Couldn't recommend it more if you were looking for a place where you can make friends, train hard (and safely) and have fun. Hayley's hype up playlists were always a highlight ✨
Sharing my experience with everyone simply because these guys welcomed me with open arms whist being away for work. It is the best gym I have ever stepped foot in and the coaches are full of experience and knowledge. Kate reached out to me on my first visit to simply check in which personally meant a lot to me. Everyone is so friendly and the facility and tidiness was out of this world. From beginners to not, I highly recommend 98 gym Riley street. Thanks for the time there team and I look forward to visiting in the future. Your sessions are epic!!
A fantastic gym with excellent programming. If you want to feel like you train like a professional athlete this is the place. The coaches are friendly and approachable.

Absolutely incredible space, clean, amazing culture and enjoyed a few great workouts with Jo. Would be here for life if I wasn’t moving away, cannot rate highly enough!
Best gym around the area. Jo is an absolute legend, keeps you accountable and can have a great chat anytime
Great gym with all the equipment you need!! Always clean, good price and best environment. Joe, the owner, is really nice and gives you all the tips to get better 🙌🏼
Cannot speak highly enough of the gym and the 98 team. The classes are superb - the coaches are incredibly professional and really know their stuff, and they know how to get the best out of everyone. The program is awesome and will both challenge and benefit anyone at any level of fitness. If you can’t get into the gym, you can choose from one of five streams on the app and train anywhere. Really friendly community of coaches and members. Highly recommended. Worth every cent.
Love Aldi being tucked in here. Great to pick up groceries during the week when at work
Great community gym with everything you need for a good session. The owner Joseph is super friendly and passionate. Loved all the nostalgic artwork on the walls.
Best Gym for Bodybuilding - owner is a legend and gives everyone a warm welcome! 10/10
Useful Mall - Supermarket, Shoe Repair, Nail Salon, Medical Centre, assorted Food, Cafés, public toilets and more
Has ALDI store , hairdresser,Cafe and other shops in this small centre.
98 Gym is simply awesome. The coaches are incredible, guiding you with expertise and enthusiasm. The camaraderie among members adds to the positive atmosphere. The programming is fantastic, offering varied and effective workouts. A standout gym for those seeking excellence in coaching, a supportive community, and well-designed programs. Highly recommended!
Nice little shopping centre, ALDI as an anchor. Clean, bright, and comfy.
Only downfall, no parking.

I went for a free trial because I wanted to subscribe for two weeks, but the minimum was a month, so it didn't work for me. Anyways, Joseph kindly let me try the gym, which was fantastic. I recommend it 100%.
Well laid out, plenty of diverse opportunities in the eating establishment.
A bit strange. They had signs up about being proud, but it was just an Aldi and a few typical mall shops. 'not sure what was making them so proud
In the heart of Darlinghurst, F45 stands as a testament to not just fitness, but a thriving community spirit. Dave, the owner, clearly pours his heart and soul into the establishment, ensuring it’s not just another gym, but a place where members truly feel at home.
The trainers are second to none. Their dedication, expertise, and enthusiasm shine through in each session. Every workout feels tailor-made, thanks in no small part to the coaches who have always been attentive to my specific needs. Despite my troublesome ankle and knees, they’ve consistently provided modified workouts, ensuring I can train effectively and safely.
Beyond the stellar training regimen, it’s the camaraderie and the atmosphere that genuinely sets F45 Darlinghurst apart. From the hearty laughs to the earnest chats, the community has been a source of motivation and encouragement. Whether you’re aiming for peak fitness or looking for a place to belong, this is undoubtedly the place to be.
A heartfelt thanks to Dave and the entire team. Your commitment and passion are truly inspiring.

Thanks F45 Darlinghurst! Really loved the workouts and the culture of this studio over the years. Dave and all the trainers are excellent. Keep up the good work!
Could not recommend more - Nick and Gabs are legit the most welcoming team at a Gym I have seen. I had no experience in weights/this kind of workout but the team here are helpful, patient and most importantly demonstrate for you in a way that doesn't make anyone feel bad. If you're in the area this is the place to work out.
Lord of the rig is the perfect mix of hard work, no ego, and good vibes. Nik’s strength is his laid back but caring approach to training which inspires us to work hard. LOTR is not classes of 50 and pumping music but more of a small group of introverts who want to push themselves and enjoy being part of the community Nik creates.
Enjoyed our visit to the Oxford Village.
Plenty of bargains and great checking out the Aldi store.

Incredible community gym with everything you need. Jo the owner is an absolutely gun. He’s created a really peaceful and supportive environment at the gym with his friendly and relaxed approach. Always present and providing tips and tricks. The gym itself is extremely pleasant and tidy. He prides himself on hygiene and it shows - freshest smelling gym I’ve ever walked into!! Sadly I moved away but if I lived close by, without a doubt I’d be happy here long term!!
Love the staff at ALDI.
But Shop is too small.
Whenever I got to a mall outside of here with an ALDI its full of products and has more space to move.
Oxford village is clean.
And nice Shop and cafes, but I don't use any of them ..
That area -oxford street - is not my scene, no atmosphere, boring and the people would not know you excited.
So basically.
I go to bondi junction -or my favourite mall in Sydney.
Marrickville metro - newly renovated -I Love the fit out and design, awesome shops , some products are way cheaper than in CBD and oxford street.
Unfriendly.
But the others are the total reverse.

Great well maintained equipment. Feels very private and exclusive to train here, yet the owner, Jo, is very friendly and accomodating with little coco thats the cutest. Love the playlist and art on the wall, give the overall vibes 10/10 and motivates me to work out more. Best gym so far i come across in sydney
For someone who isn't a gym person, I can't rate The Rig more highly. It's a relaxed and fun atmosphere but a great workout. Nik is an excellent instructor - he sets a challenging class but helps you to find your pace and level to get the most out of it. I've thoroughly enjoyed increasing my strength during the Tuesday lunchtime classes. Worth the visit!
The benefits of this gym that I can see are:
- high quality movements designed to be effective in strength and conditioning without overburden the body, feeling stronger even after one session.
- nice and tidy workspace. no endless clutter of unnecessary equipments
- No wierd lighting, no gimmicks
- disciplined members who disinfect and put away things after use
- worth joining even just for the high quality classes alone. In fact I myself joined two gyms, this gym for classes, the other gym for rest and relaxation facilities
- most crucial benefit is their specialised exercises increase your body’s work capacity and resistance to stress. Helping you survive and perform everything else in life. Eg: Carrying heavy loads of shopping and laundry suddenly becomes easy, after a long day at work still have energy instead of collapsing because your body is now stronger

98 is much more than just a gym. It’s a community where people work to become the best versions of themselves - and surround themselves with motivated, ambitious people. Going to 98 is embedded in my daily routine, both the hybrid and strength classes offer something for everyone - depending on what your goal is. The coaches are athletes themselves and the gym manager, Kate, ensures every single person who walks into the gym has a personalised experience and pushes themselves to ‘hold the standard’. Somehow each coach will manage to make you feel as if you’re doing a 1:1 session with them every session - it’s beyond remarkable. If you’re looking for more than just a workout, this is the only place you should look to go in Sydney.
Love, Love, Love this place! I have been going to 98 Riley Street for over 10 years and it has become my second home. More so, I have found there a community of like-minded people who like to train hard in a very supportive environment. The diversity of the members is something I really appreciate.
Let's also talk about performance, since that's why we go to a gym. I have been able to progress beyond all my expectations. The coaches are extremely diligent and professional. There's always someone correcting your form and posture (wink wink at Kate who always seems to see me doing something wrong even when she doesn't coach my class!), so that you can train safely without any injury. Everyone puts in 100% and the results are there.

Might be the best gym in the world. I was in town for a few weeks and was able to join on a week by week basis while there. I felt totally welcomed by the community and enjoyed the class structure and variety. Coaches and facility were great.
If I lived in the area I would be there all the time!

With over 20 odd years of going to different gyms, the rig is by far my standout. Gabi and Nick are so attentive and ensure your technique and posture are correct to avoid injury. The gym has a real community feel about it, it’s friendly and they make working out fun!
Best place to be after a long day at the office!
Lord of the Rig offers group classes that always make you feel like you are getting a PT experience.
I am always pushed to my own limit and goals, unlike other gyms I have been to that push too hard too fast.
I have been going to Lord of the Rig for over a year now and feel more motivated than ever!

The team at NYF are fantastic, having joined with a few niggles and lost confidence in my lifting techniques they have shown their expertise in supporting me to get moving again with confidence and pain free 💪🏼
Under the coaching of Matt, Hayley-Ann, and Kat I've thoroughly enjoyed rejoining the gym and getting moving again!
Don't be intimidated by the space everyone is so supportive and fun to workout with, you'll get to enjoy working out with a great team and fellow members and definitely won't be disappointed after your sessions 🫡

Without question, Lord of the Rig is the most amazing gym I’ve been a member of.
The variety of each session ensures your being challenged and working every part of your body.
The vibe of gym, with the music blasting and energy of the group classes keeps you motivated to push yourself. It is an amazing space to train in with out the cult-feeling of the bigger franchise gyms.
The dedication of the trainers is world class, making sure you are training as hard as possible with correct technique, safely and effectively.
Trust their process, and you’ll see results.

Great studio; used this studio with my partner and a friend when in town for Mardi Gras and the energy was awesome! It's a really cute studio and the trainers/owners were so welcoming - really did blow my mind plus cute little studio doggo for pats after.
New you fitness is more than just training for me, Mattys built a great community of encouraging members. No matter your fitness level, there is something for everyone. Matt is always keeping me super motivated and encourages me towards my goals. This is why I prefer group training rather than training on my own, as I get a lot more for my time. Plus we can always have a little banter in class ;)
I tried many studios before I discovered New You Fitness. I noticed results quickly. Matt is an excellent trainer, who combines motivation and comraderie beautifully. I love the community feel, the variation in workouts, and that the workouts are challenging whilst having achievable modifcations depending on your fitness level. He makes you work hard whilst you’re there, but in shorter time frames that don’t have you waiting around in a gym unnecessarily. I feel better than I have in a long time.
Coming from a background of zero fitness I very tentatively joined Matt at New You fitness a few weeks ago. From day one Matt has been a huge support. He has taken time out before and after sessions to help me work on my technique to make sure I was getting the most out of the sessions, given me tips to work on at home and has consistently pushed me to do better. I can safely say that signing up for that first week has been a complete game changer for me. I couldn't recommend this gym enough if you are looking for fun classes and a trainer who will take the time to really work with you.
The Rig is hands down the best gym I’ve ever trained at.
Nik is an incredible trainer and has created a friendly and welcoming community vibe.
I’ve seen excellent results and love the positive environment and the sense of camaraderie at the rig.
The workouts are always fun and challenging, and there's solid accountability to make sure you're getting results.
Working out at a regular commercial gym would be a massive downgrade. Highly recommended.

I've been training with New You Fitness for two years now and It's been amazing! The sessions are always challenging, fun and a good laugh. My conditioning has improved dramatically and my boxing has not only become a passion of mine but a way for me to relieve stress and continue to improve upon my technique. Matt has become a good friend and I guarantee you won't be disappointed by training with New You Fitness!
Dropped in while visiting Sydney. Great spot to get a solid work out in. Love how the classes are consistently a high intense workout for 45 minutes!
Awesome place to train. Great trainers.
