I tried out a 6.30am Power Barre Attack with Renee. It's the first time I've tried barre…read more Renee was very lovely, exactly what you'd want in a fitness instructor; very friendly and approachable, offering advice when you're doing something wrong in a warm manner. Power Barre Attack is somewhat challenging, and definitely a great work out. From ballet moves to a few burpees, planks and squats it's really cardio as well as strengthening and lengthening.

I spent quite a few years slogging it out in gyms until I moved abroad and found it cheaper to run…read moreoutdoors but that wasn't as social or interesting. When I moved to Sydney I thought 'great weather, great beaches, great parks - I'm going to get me fit in the great outdoors. Enter Fruition Outdoor Fitness. Apart from being referred by a fitness freak I decided to pick this company above the thousands of other personal trainers because they had a strong focus on a having a holistic healthy lifestyle rather than just pounding your body for the sake of getting fit. The trainers read a lot about the latest research in the sports industry and usually have some pretty interesting facts on nutrition and techniques (particularly with the Pilates inspired exercises) so I feel as if there's a constant improvement and education theme happening with training. Group sessions, though pretty tough on even the fittest of bods are also social with regular catch ups outside of sessions. Though they train at different locations my pick is Balmoral. Getting up for a 6am session is easy when it's a good day down at this beach - and it's pretty perfect most days. They're about to start sessions at 7.15am on Monday, Wednesday and Friday and 9am Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

So, I've never been to Soul Cycle or Fly Wheel but as they're all the rage in the states I was…read moreexcited when a friend told me a similar version had opened up in Sydney- Don't think that this is anything like the cycling classes you'd take at Fitness First or something. The whole point of Scenic Cycle is to have a fun class (think the latest jams blaring as you ride) while you bike through a particular route (Hawaii, Switzerland, you name it!). There are massive screens set up in the front of the room that you follow along with as you ride- having the road in front of you somehow manages to take away some of the pain associated with exercising. New bikes, a great instructor, shower facilities, centrally located, class times that are conducive to people who work...this place is great.

The gym itself I wouldn't rate a 1 Star but unfortunately, the staff brings down the overall rating…read moredrastically at this location. When my girlfriend and I signed up for a 12 month contract we were told by Nat that we would be given the first 5 weeks free only to then be charged after 3 weeks. No problem right, after all it's just a simple refund. Originally when we were charged after 3 weeks we asked the staff to assist with this and they told us only Nat could help since she signed us up who was on vacation. A few days later and they eventually let me talk with Kurt who then passed me off to David. Not sure why I'm dealing with David because I don't think he knows how to issue refunds as I have been dealing with this issue for the past month. First I was told I would be given a refund to my card so I gave them my card info, which apparently they never used cause I never saw a refund so now thats just floating God knows where. Then I was told my account wouldn't be charged the next billing cycle. Yet, a month later and I'm still getting charged. However, every time I go into this location he reassures me that my account won't be charged the next billing cycle. Hopefully someone can fix this issue as I don't think the gym itself deserves a 1 star rating, unfortunately the staff is just not pleasant to deal with and tosses you around from person to person since no one knows how to correctly bill their customers.

These guys should understand that going to the gym takes a lot of motivation and initiative.

For the past two months, I haven't been able to login to their network and I know it has not been working for a while as I keep asking staff and there is nothing they can do to fix it (they say). It Is a "temperamental" connection, I don't know... Sometimes it works sometimes doesn't, SORRY! they say! This is not the best answer you or any business should give to a customer FF!. POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE. Even though I live steps away from your Mosman club, I will have to inconvenience myself travelling to a different club from now on. Not impressed at all.
