I have been a member for about 6 months, suitable time make a fair judgement call about Fernwood Camberwell.
Depending on what you want out of your gym, if you've got a clean, friendly and well equipped space you're going alright--this is Fernwood.
It's quite a big gym, there several separate areas including a cardio room, weights room with extra cardio equipment, group fitness space and a cycle room.
There are several classes to choose from with a mix of Les Mills classics like Pump, CX Worx, Body Attack, Combat and Balance, as well as their own mix of classes: Swiss ball, boot camp, yoga, reformer Pilates, step, core and cycle classes to name a few. Majority of classes are between nine and five, obviously to suit the mummy demographic, it would be nice to see a better variety of classes around 6am and 6pm.
The facilities are good, probably a little tired looking if anything. The change room is huge, with several showers, steam room and sauna. If you're going out post-workout there's deodorant, hair dryers and several other nice touches you might need to get ready.
Weekday morning they provide breakfast basics including toast, cereal, tea and coffee, there's also a fridge if you prefer to take your own to eat before you dash off to work.
Staff are friendly and helpful, exactly the kind of people you need welcoming you. The trainers are great too, I've not come across a trainer or instructor who wasn't having a great time and doing their best to make you bust your butt. read more
