At BFT Robina, the sense of belonging is truly unmatched. The community here is unlike anything I’ve experienced before, and the coaches are both knowledgeable and approachable. They genuinely take the time to get to know you, ensuring you never feel like just another number. The workouts are varied and enjoyable, combining different training styles to keep things fresh and exciting. Plus, there’s always plenty of laughter and fun, so there’s never a dull moment!

If you’re looking for a gym where you’ll find both support and accountability, BFT Robina is the perfect choice. I wholeheartedly recommend it!

This place feels like a second home! The team, members, vibe & community just to name a few great things about BFT Robina - it’s what keeps us all coming back! The encouragement, support & evolving knowledge from the team is second to none! Love everything about BFT Robina and what it offers - whether you’re a new or existing member you get treated and respected like family! From programming to social events - I’ve met some incredible people on my BFT journey and can’t fault this community for being amazing!

I have consistently been training at BFT Robina for over 3yrs now. I even participated in my first Hyrox relay this year as well. Joining BFT Robina has been the best decision I have made for my health, fitness and being part of a great community. Lindsay and Steve have created a fantastic gym with great trainers and a friendly community. I urge everyone to give BFT Robina ago you won’t regret it.

Solid, clean gym facilities that are well-maintained. They also offer a wide range of group fitness classes if you ever are low on self-motivation to gym by yourself :))
I have only just joined Nexus in the last month and it is leaps and bounds ahead of any normal commercial gym. The equipment is beyond anything and the community is bigger and better than you would even think. I never fail to have a great time there when I train and all the events that are held there make it a fun place to not only socialise but support the growing lifting community. Nothing but love for the owners and what they have created 😊
Bec and Linz have made this F45 incredible. They are super supportive and someone is always making sure your form is on point and making you feel like part of the family. I wouldn't go anywhere else. Love this place and love them ❤️
I have been a member of Nexus Performance Gym for a very, very long time. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience with Nexus and consider this gym the best in Townsville for Strongman, and Powerlifting. I was coached by Jason for a my first Strongman comp and won a 2nd place podium finish. Being a 60yr old female that was exceptional considering my opponents were a lot younger. I highly recommend Jason as a personal trainer for all levels of fitness and age group. The team at Nexus and the Nexus community are all very supportive and will help you achieve your goals.

The receptionists, trainers and cleaner are all genuinely awesome. However, when there’s a new class starting on a Sunday at 9:30am (which I didn’t know about) and the instructor passive aggressively places a yoga mat right next to my p-bars in silence and then finally says ‘I have a class now’ in a very abrasive and rude tone 2 minutes before her class starts, I have no choice but to not renew my membership given how often I’m in the studio as it’s going to lead to madness if I keep getting treated like dirt.

It’s a good gym, but you’re better off not offering classes rather than employing instructors who show up at the last minute, who clearly don’t want to be there and who try to put customers down the first chance they get.

If you’d like to find out if I’m exaggerating or not, the camera will tell the story even with no audio.

What a lovely clean friendly gym. Easy parking loads of classes great value. Even has massage chairs.
I've been a member of Nexus Gym for over 3 years now, and I couldn’t be happier! The variety of classes keeps things fresh and motivating, and the atmosphere is always welcoming.

I joined BFT Robina just over a week ago with my daughter. I love it and I’m really enjoying my training. It makes a big difference when everyone is so lovely and helpful. Lyss and Linds are fabulous trainers who totally understand that everyone is at a different level in their fitness journey. It's a great friendly supportive environment to be in. X
I’ve been training casually at Nexus for a couple of years now, and even though I’m not there often, I always feel welcome. The Nexus crew, and other members are great to be around, motivational and willing to offer help and advice. I’ve been fortunate enough to attend workshops that have made a huge difference to my training and I’m definitely a better lifter thanks to the awesome guidance.

The equipment is great, well looked after, and plentiful. Additionally, the events they put on are well run and I’ve been stoked to be apart of a couple of the dead lift for dogs events. I look forward to the next one!

Legends Bart and Luke. Not a typical gym, friendly and funny vibe. Goes the e yes mile, helped get me back into shape and holds me accountable. No two days are the same and a perfect mix of what I need throughout the week. Cheers team keep it up

These guys really get it. The programming is spot on, you feel they actually care about you, and it’s not just a scene there. I feel fitter at 42 than I was at 22. Highly recommend to anyone in the Burleigh area.

We were up the coast for the weekend and wanted to get our session in. This gym staff were super friendly and the gym was also super clean. I have nothing but positive thoughts about the gym as overall my partner and myself loved the time we spent training there. If you’re here and needing to get training in, this is definitely the place to be at.
After moving to a new area, I recently discovered Nexus Performance Gym, and I couldn't be happier with my choice. Transitioning from a commercial gym, I sought a new experience that made training fun again, and Nexus Performance exceeded my expectations. The equipment is top-notch and truly the best in its class. However, the incredible sense of community sets this gym apart. The support from other members and employees makes the membership truly worthwhile. Everyone is always ready to offer a helping hand or give advice. I can't imagine returning to a commercial gym after experiencing Nexus Performance.
Nexus is an amazing gym with a lot of awesome, supportive people who have been nothing but welcoming since I join at the beginning of June. Excellent space to train and an awesome community!!
The best gym I’ve ever been too. These guys know what’s good for you 👍
The best gym experience ever! The place is spotless, the staff is super friendly, and there's always plenty of space to work out. Love it! 👌🏾💪🏽

Getting back into going to the gym for the first time in years was daunting thought. But from the very first session, the crew at BFT Robina gave made me feel right at home. A great variety of classes and trainers, coupled with an amazing community has made returning the best decision I have made this year!
Good gym, friendly staff and affordable prices. The equipment could use an upgrade though. I.e. bumper plates or calibrated plates.
I was originally training at EMF at Pacific Fair with a PT. I was getting fitter slowly but it was expensive for what I was getting. I was looking to learn proper lifting technique, did research, and found Nexus. Best decision I’ve made in my fitness so far — amazing people, community feel, smiles all round and the encouragement is epic. Joining the semi-private coaching, I have better technique, actually learning about how to train properly and how things work together. If you’re looking to join a new gym for any reason you will not regret training here!! 💪
Old, tired and overpriced gym with limited car parking. I was very exciting moving to this area with a flexible gym with crèche but quickly disappointed by the cleanliness, limited parking and outdated equipment.
Do not recommend Brad in this gym, very dishonest person. I’m a small business owner who installed a few Air-conditioners inside this gym. After installing he has refused to answer any of my messages or calls. Will not pay my invoice.
This person is scamming small businesses.
This place was amazing .

Brad and the team were very helpful and with a short amount of time made sure I got the maximum result ! They were on hand 24/7 replying to messages and questions .

Cannot recommend them enough !
This is not an emf, at least it's not the same standard of gym. Granted it's in a great location, but this is truly a hotel gym with an EMF label. It's just not EMF material. The equipment is ancient, the treadmills are plonked right in the rising suns path so your morning run is literally a morning run as in you can't see anything because you're being blinded for 20 minutes, it's crowded and small, the showers don't have enough room for a duffle bag, and the changing area seats a total of two people when you add their belongings to the mix. There's only 2 hours parking which means your workout has to be 1.75 hours long, otherwise you have to pay another $5 on top of your already 26/week.

Not the EMF standard, not at all. The best part of the whole experience is the end team member, who tried to make this sardine can of a gym look as good as she could, and she did a great job with her customer service. But after seeing all the other gyms, it simply doesn't match the norm.
Excellent coaches and great community.
Linds and Stevo will make you feel confortable since day 1.
If you are looking for a place that is not just a gym but a place where you can develop long lasting friendships and grow as a person… BFT Robina is the place.
Staff is rude. I left my children inside because there are no seats available for me but stayed outside in their cafe and waited for them to finish. Getting mad at me for not attending just because I was not there with them inside. Soooo rude!!!
Absolutely loving being apart of this community over the last month.
F45 Ashmore has being so welcoming, the trainers so encouraging and helpful. I can’t recommend this place enough!
Bloody digital robbers, steal money from your bank account.

Team members are misbehaving and bloody resist.

They cut the calls in between conversations.

Don't join this kind of poor gym who don't know how to answer the members. Worst experience ever.
I went to go sign up to this gym today as I have heard great things about it.
But the staff member was sitting at the desk, the door was locked and wouldn’t let me in.
So I wouldn’t recommend joining if that is how they are treating customers.
Very disappointing
Looks good from the outside tho ha

New to the gym but so far very impressed with the range of fitness classes on offer, not to mention that staff are very helpful and dedicated to what they do. Thanks guys, looking forward to the journey !
Brad and Shikai are amazing trainers, they really go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and create a personalised fitness plan for you. Their facilities are great, my partner and I use the sauna and ice bath 3 times a week, and the best part: we get to bring our lovely border collie with us every time we work out!
If you hate going to crowded gyms like I do, do yourself a favour and give these guys a call!
This is a great place to train with caring and informative coaches. A very welcoming environment. I love the flexible training times, sauna and magnesium plunge pool. It has none of the "show pony" attitudes of other gyms I've attended, just down to earth helpful coaches and friendly clients. They are excellent at working with you and programming to your own personal level of fitness and encourage you to progress.

Not a bad gym, my only complaint would be the 4 week cancellation notice. I understand it may take a week or two to take you off the pay cycle but I think 4 weeks is just unnecessary. Last thing you think of when moving is, how long is my cancellation notice at the gym. Most gyms are only 2 weeks, cant see why they need 4 other then to squeeze you for more money.

What an awesome gym! I was just visiting the Gold Coast and my friend recommended this place. It was fun and challenging with all the programming is explained so well with demonstrations. It’s a layback vibe with options if you can’t perform certain movements. I felt very welcome. Thanks for the experience I’ll be back

My husband and I trained at ACTV Burleigh this morning, the staff were super friendly and welcoming and made sure we knew what we were meant to be doing throughout the class. A great workout and atmosphere to train in, we will be back for sure !
I am finding it confusing as well keep asking for info and pricing and difference in the Platium and the never answer corrrctly.
I sent 6-8 messages never with complete answers
Sent emails to 5 pt trainers not one answer???

F45 Ashmore is such a fantastic gym! Bec and Linz are so welcoming and their team of trainers are knowledgeable a great support during the classes. The studio has a great set up and they’ve created an awesome community vibe. One of my favourite F45 studio’s on the GC!
F45 Ashmore would have to be the best in queensland. Linz and Bec where so accommodating to myself and my Husband. I’ve been doing f45 for the past 5 years and been to many whilst on holidays Ive visited many studios and would have say apart from my home f45 Ashmore would have be one of the best I’ve stepped into.
Does this gym have the newest equipment? Definitely not. But everything works! Everything's clean. Everything's here to do a full workout. Hardly ever busy. No cameras or tripods.

They have all hammer strength machines which from my understanding is pretty good stuff. Plenty of weight with the dumbbells that sure as hell going heavier than I'll ever need. Mirrors for watching your form which aren't covered in sweat and splatter like some other big gyms 🤮. My favourite part is just how clean it is. Every corner is cleaned not just a half done vac every few days. Free parking is offered which is convenient.
20 bucks for a day pass
Was clean and tidy but all the equipment and decoration is very tired with some of it deteriorating - especially the floor.

Definitely suffices for a beach pump whilst away

Been a member for a few years now! Great gym, with some great coaches! The coaches work with you depending on your ability and fitness levels, all the equipment is quite modern, great programming with your fit, fusion and force sessions! The team are very friendly and so are all the members.

I’ve been training at ACTV Burleigh for the last 4 years & absolutely love it!
I originally saw the ads on Insta & signed up for a trial….and I’ve been there almost every day since.
Over the years I’ve gained SO much strength & fitness as well as plenty of great friends.
I’ve participated in Marathons, Turf Games and numerous charity events & initiatives too. ACTV really is a community of people who love getting involved & helping out.
Barts & the team have created something special here, where the programming is always evolving, the workouts are challenging and the sessions are never boring. Plus the trainers are awesome!
If you’re looking for a gym in Burleigh, definitely check this one out!
Some wonderful instructors! Not all so. Reformers gets filled up very quickly. Workouts have deafening music. Diminishing range of classes. The communication regarding payments' very confusing & they'll double charge you or more.
Great coaching sessions , friendly and welcoming environment.
Loved the unlimited access to the sauna and the magnésium plunge pool.
Flexible training time and amazing custom fitness plans.
I have moved away from the area but still benefit from their amazing custom program and coaching online
Recommend to anyone

NO air-conditioning!!!!!!!
Staff just stay in their air-conditioned office and have no idea about what's going on in the gym. Unbelievable. Everyone wandering around dripping with sweat. They have a captive audience in Casuarina so obviously couldn't care less.

I was one that said i would never go to a gym. After many specialists telling me i need to strengthen my back to help with my constant back pain i decdied to do it.
ACTV Burleigh is such a welcoming environment. The trainers make everyone newbie welcome. So accommodating for all fitness levels. In sessions you are always getting feedback and corrections.
The in house body testing is a great resource.
Doing 12 week programs also allow you to check your own progress and growth.
For the time I have been here I have had minimal-no back pain. Which has made such a difference in my daily life.
I would 10 star recommend.

Fantastic gym! Amazing trainers/ staff, extremely welcoming to new & existing members alike. Heaps of different classes to challenge everyone from beginners to more experienced gym-goers. Each class has dedicated time to explain the class exercises, reps, sets, etc including heart rate - yep everyone gets their own HR monitor to track your progress. Love it & highly recommended!
Positive points : it's near to the tram station, most of the time it's not busy,
Negative points: The machines are not updated, and they are old in some way. The locker room is too small, and the ventilation is not as good as it should be.
Love this gym!! Amazing trainers and always so clean 😍 love reformer with Alesha
This gym has decent facilities and is in a great location. But yea like the other reviews say, it gets way too busy at some times. Good for if you like to go to the gym after 10pm.
This saloon is always full. The problem is not about full , it's too small saloon when u come at morning 6 o'clock it's full when you come 10 o'clock at night it's full 12 it's full because squish place you can't do soo much cardiovascular workout yea maybe you can do hypertrofi but rather then that you can't do anything. I give 2 star it's because I still can take a shower.
The music is so uncomfortably loud it made my head hurt.
Don’t join! Trust me don’t join!! Don’t do the reformers classes, if you don’t book like 3 days in advance you won’t get a spot. IT IS WAY TOO BUSY. If you use the gym before or after work, you literally can’t do your workout cause there is no room. They need to stop bringing people in because me and my brother joined and were told it is not busy except at 5-6pm, that was a lie from sienna staff member. Even though it’s cheap, you literally can’t work out so don’t bother. I PROMISE YOU’LL regret it. They continue to promote joining the west end one when it at least 4x its capacity. A 40 minute work out with the machines you want is at least 1hr 30. Me and my brother walk in and walk out because we don’t have time to wait in lines for the machine. I wish the staff was honest from the start or someone had let us know, so I’m letting you guys know.
Even though I dont train here anymore, this was probably one of the cleanest gyms ive trained in on the gold coast. Compared to world gym, this gym is years beyond. Not only that the members actually put their weights away. I really wish EMF was a bit closer. A+ staff as well

Have been here for over a year and a half and am extremely proud to be apart of this community. This isn't just a gym. This gym has multiple layers and the people are the culture. Of course with excellent PT coaches with life time experience behind them. Highly recommend anyone in the community to come along and train with us 5amers!
One of the best group training experiences I've had. I've always been slightly hesitant about F45 but I'm so glad I tried it. Bec and the coaches create a fun and welcoming environment, the classes are challenging but also really fun. Real community vibe!
The worst gym management I ever experienced ! When working out should be a stress release and they are actually adding more anxiety to you as they are over charging you for your membership for months and refuse to refund you $150. They only made some break payment in my membership to compensate, and it still doesn't make it up... Renegotiated a price and they kept on charging the old one, they are terrible at following up client satisfaction... Just a factory that is good to take money. Such a waste of time and energy !!
I revoked my previous 1-star review because I felt things were improving, but in the past weeks things for this gym have collapsed again. A swathe of cardio machines have been broken for weeks, and the crowds have returned with a vengeance. The place has been filthy and under-cleaned for a while now. Do your research before you sign up to this one. I would want my money back in a heartbeat if it weren't for the exorbitant contract break-fees.
The facilities have a very poor management, designated areas don’t have proper signal so patrons do whatever. It has been three days since the same bottle is standing in the same place and no of the staff members have been able to clean. That’s how poor is their attention to detail, clearly a place that just wants your money.

Facilities are always out of order, either toilets or machines and takes months to repair it.

There’s way more affordable options with much better and clean facilities. Definitely not recommending it.
I’ve completed a couple of classes now and I can’t talk more highly of Barry’s Bootcamp in Kings Cross! All the trainers are super fit, extremely friendly and know their stuff! I was a little worried before coming here because I thought I may be out of my depth but during the workouts they give you different levels to run at (beginner, intermediate or advanced) and there are lots of weights to choose from. After a workout you can buy a healthy smoothie at the yummy fuel bar or freshen up in the facilities there which are extremely clean. You’ll also have a locker to put your belongs in which is secured. These are honestly the best HIIT/cardio workouts I’ve ever done! The music and vibes are amazing!
After my first weeks trial last year, I quit my regular gym and have been attending F45 Ashmore six days a week. Everyone is friendly, welcoming and supportive of each other. No one is ever left out or made to feel less than anyone else. The coaches are always helpful and knowledgable. Everyone young or old and whatever level you're at is accommodated. The studio and equipment are always kept clean and tidy. And everyone is always happy :-) I'm just so glad I stumbled across a really random ad and gave it a go. Great vibes. Great gym. I wouldn't want to be anywhere else but here. Don't let the burpees scare you off, there are other alternatives you can do - as the trainers say, "as long as you are moving".

I decided to try it out last year, having never completed a fitness class. The owners, staff, and other members were so welcoming. It is a completely positive, super supportive, respectful, and zero ego environment. The classes are challenging which is great but tailored for all ages and fitness levels. The coaches are highly engaged, experienced, knowledgeable, and responsive to each person's goals and circumstances. So well organised - in and out in 50 mins - fantastic business and couldn't be happier.
I love the community feel that the gym gives. The yoga 🧘‍♀️ classes are amazing and love Michelle as our instructor. The whole gym has a sanitary protocol and everyone seems to participate in keeping thing’s hygienic there which is important to me.
Highly recommend! Seriously friendly, welcoming great gym and trainer - best in the area! I had a back surgery and at only 42 I was very worried about getting back into exercise again and what I could and couldn't do. Brad was amazing he is so knowledgeable about the body and I felt 100% safe with everything we done and I have grown so much stronger. Each session each individual is given personalised excercises tailored to you - feels like a Personal training session. There is a great community feel here too (and no posing!). I am unfortunately moving away and I don't think I will ever find another trainer and gym like this one.
Disgusting toilet and rude staff. I brought a friend on weekend, and the girl told us you have 15 mins left, and after 15 mins she would make an announcement for us to leave. Is it really that serious to make an announcement? So rude, bad customer services. I expect something like ‘ W
e’re so sorry, but staff hours will end in 15mins, visitors are not allowed out of staff hours, is that ok? ‘ will not visit again
Always a fantastic workout. Excellent trainers, the classes are always different & facilities are immaculate & clean.
Took me three months to actually turn up to the "red room" at Barry's as an overweight menopausal 50 year old lol! Not sure why I waited so long, the whole team were and are absolutely amazing. Don't feel any pressure from all the fantastic people training there, this workout obviously works if everyone looks as great and are as fit as they all are, walk on the treadmill if you need to or interval jog, the training environment and team are absolutely fantastic and 50 minutes flys by! Sets me up so strong mentally for the day ahead in business. Thank you guys for making me feel so welcome! MB x
As a person who was super super nervous to join and do any exercise, F45 Ashmore is amazing. They have made me feel so welcome and supported that I’m excited to attend every morning! So excited I convinced my husband to join! You will not find a more supportive group of people! The staff are so knowledgeable and help you to stay motivated!
I was in town for 5 days so when I spotted a Barry’s it was the perfect way to stay active during my trip. All of the staff were so friendly and welcoming, Alicia especially was a great trainer and made the effort to remember my name which I find really makes a difference in a class like this.
I've been a member for almost 1 year now. Great service and equipment - I like being greeted at the front desk each time I walk in. iF there was something I needed, my requests and concerns were always acknowledged and handled in a professional manner

I enjoyed the great variety of classes very much. They provide an option for every age group, well organised and the staff members are kind and funny. I will return hopefully soon, once I have recovered from the mistreatment of a Pottsville based massage therapist, Anne Baker. Be careful who you choose to help you through the muscle pain!

This is a very friendly place. That is it's strong point. Whilst it may not have the latest and greatest of everything it will certainly get the job done in a friendly neighbourhood atmosphere. My shy daughter feels like she belongs. And perhaps best of all in this day and age is very well ventilated with an entire side open to the outdoors.
And you can swim in the 25m pool to complete your workout. Boxing also.

Even tho I’m a member of fitness passport, which this gym is associated with, they still wouldn’t let me use the gym without first paying for a $50 gym access card, even tho I only wanted to use the gym once( during staff hours). But the lady said I could use the gym without the need for a access card if I paid for a $15 casual vist. This makes no sense. Why can a casual use the gym without the need for a access card but a fitness passport members has to pay for it. I will be complaining to fitness passport as well.
Platinum has a wonderful range of classes and easy online booking system at a great price. All the staff are friendly and helpful. I love that EMF jnr is available most hours for the kids if needed. My only suggestion is SMS for waitliat rather than email. My favourite classes are Reformer Pilates, Spin and Hot Yoga :)
Fabulous group of likeminded souls who love walking, chatting and sharing cake. All ages and fitness welcomed. 🥾🌻🏃‍♀️
I call them my Soul Sisters as we walk from the heart. I have been a member for several years sharing so many experiences with these amazing women. We walk, we talk, we laugh but more importantly we always look out for each other. I am inspired by the passion both Jane and Donna have in maintaining this group and creating such a wide variety of walks and hikes to suit all levels of fitness.
I ❤️ Sole Sisters
I have been a member of Coffs Coast Sole Sisters since the creation of the group. I have enjoyed wonderful experiences with like minded women in a number of different environments. You never know what you are going to experience when you wander along with the Sole Sisters!
If you're looking for a friendly, supportive and fun group of women to walk or hike with then this is the one. A love of the outdoors, nature and fresh air is what unites everyone in this group. I've also received some great tips to improve my pack carrying skills.
Beautiful group of ladies who enjoy the outdoors hiking through the bush, or walking along our lovely beaches, some walks easy and some a little more challenging 😀 Come enjoy our beautiful Coffs Coast and beyond !
I’ve been a member of Sole Sisters since the group was created. We have walked talked and shared amazing experiences together. I’m truly grateful for being guided on these friendly inclusive walks with wonderful likeminded women.
I have been a member of this group for a couple of years now. Jane and Donna plan the most amazing walks here in Coffs interstate and overseas at times. The group of ladies are friendly and like minded hikers of all levels that embrace the challenge for themselves and that feeling of accomplishment at the end of each walk be it a day or a weekend or a week of walking. There is always a good variety of walks to accommodate all levels of hikers.
I am so incredibly pleased to have found this group and joined them on so many wonderful walks. I've discovered parts of the Coffs Coast which have reinforced how lucky we are to live here. Our walks are adventurous and challenging at times but always supportive. A group of wonderful women who have come together for friendship and fitness. I particularly enjoy the tea and cake afterwards.
Amazing facility and coaches, if you're in the area then this is the place to train!
Jiv and the team at EMF were SO amazing helping me get set up and inducting me into the gym. The classes are so good to keep me motivated, and it's so helpful to have the kids club where my 6 year old can hang out supervised and play. Such a good experience, would highly recommend.
Loved it!! Such a good mix of weights are Cardio. Instructor Jess is a gun, definitely coming back for more!
The team at Barry’s Kings Cross is amazing.
I haven’t been to a gym or done any real exercise in 20 years so the idea to participate in one of their classes was absolutely terrifying and completely outside my comfort zone.
However, I am so glad I did.
From the moment you walk through the door, everyone makes you feel so welcome and helps you get started and excited about the idea.
The facilities are absolutely gorgeous and spotless.
The classes I have attended so far are very challenging, but the entire environment makes you push yourself much harder than you ever would.
You get so much done too. The 50 minutes you spend in the red room have you work out non stop. I have to admit, it’s all a bit overwhelming when you first walk into that room, the music pumping and the lights go down. By the time the class is over, you wonder where the time went, but your knees will be shaking and you’ll be soaked in sweat.

The instructors I have experienced so far were incredible and really keep the energy going. Despite the number of people in the class, you never feel disconnected and you have the feeling you have the instructors attention when needed. They are amazing at what they do.

The team thought Barry’s Kings Cross engages with you in a way that feels very genuine, and at no time do you feel like you are being sold any memberships or any pressure to sign up.

Also, be sure to order one of their delicious Shakes/Smoothies before your class. They are a great healthy reward to look forward to after class!

I have just finished a 7am class and can’t wait to get back in a couple of days time! And that’s a really surprising statement from someone like myself who really hasn’t ever enjoyed any exercise regime.
The best gym I have been to!
Amazing atmosphere and a great range of classes. There is so many different kinds of reformer classes from (my favourite) athletic, traditional and intermediate. The Prama room is also really cool.
The best part is that there is creche and EMF Jnr for the kiddies!
Massive CLEAN facilities, friendly staff & members. Plenty of classes to choose from, my personal favorites are the boxing classes Tuesday night and the stretch/trigger ball class Thursday nights. Personal trainers are also friendly and always happy to help you if you need some direction or feel like changing things up a little. On site physiotherapy and exercise physiology is also available for anyone with an injury that may be holding them back. Oh, and some pretty cool massage chairs.
It really is the best HIIT and cardio workout in the world! All the instructors are awesome and they will push you to your best in their own way, but I can’t go past Nicole Christey’s workouts, they are AMAZING!!! Whether Nicole’s training at Kings Cross or Martin Place you will leave feeling energised and inspired. Highly recommend! - Barbs ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I joined ACTV about 18 months ago and it's been one of the better decisions I've made. I've always done a little gym and some running but never been able to stick with it. Joining the ACTV setup has changed that. I'd say the high vibes in the group workouts, the variety of training and mainly, the trainers themselves are the difference, for me anyway. Would (and have) recommended ACTV to anyone looking for a high energy, challenging group training environment. Keep up the good work guys.

Great place they have Veterans Health facilities. With exercise physiologist Physo snd psychologist. Heated indoor pool and full Olympic always clean. Grass area with modern equipment that has large open doors to let air flow also for outside training. Clean toilets change rooms. Aerobics open room with a separate but joined special boxing area. I found All equipment works and in good condition. Table chair under cover for a drink or waiting for someone. Classes for kids swimming from what I’ve seen the kids all seem to enjoy it and the teachers. Staff are great very approachable. With someone normally very easy to grab and ask any questions. As I have a service dog they are always welcoming with a great atmosphere. Other people working out or doing classes are all very easy going with a no pressure environment that is not always found these days. Parking can be a little problem but not always. Age groups are from the young ones up. One of the best places I’ve used and continue to use. I give this a top score as not only look after all the equipment and swimming areas. But also are happy to say hi or help in anyway they can. I think that is why the people that attend are always putting there equipment straight back or happy to let you jump in, and Hygiene with people bringing towels and using them is always great to see when using a bench or machine after someone else. Great choice of good machines but also great range in free weights and benches. To kettle bells and chin ups.
