So if you're sick of the fitness firsts (finance first) dotted around Sydney, this is a solution…read morefor you; an UnPretentious GYM - Yep, it exists. I'm so happy to be able to share such a great gym with you, it's so local, and not built to be a massive organisation - more like a close friend who helps you active your fitness goals. If you're thinking twice about it - go for a 7 day trial, and they'll let you in for a week to try out the facilities totally free of charge. They have group fitness classes included in the membership, unfortunately they're not at the best times - but it gives you a reason to try to get out of work early. They start around 6pm, and they also have morning classes if you're conditional to yawns. They just went through a big renovation, so all the facilities are schmick, polished, and brand spanking new - Love this place (just wish I went more often)

I have tried a few gyms in Sydney but I settled on this one even though it is a bit of a commute…read morefor me. It is not cheap but the equipment and facilities are top notch. There are 3 classrooms, one for Crossfit type workouts, 1 for spin classes and 1 for all the rest. Then there are the cardio, weight and stretching areas and there is a sauna too. The thing that won me over was the blue lighting in the yoga studio with the sounds of the waves in the distance on very windy days. The instructors have been great and there are heaps of classes throughout the day. I also love the equipment they have. To compare it to the other gyms, it is more expensive but way better. I have been to Plus Fitness in Alexandria and the CBD. The CBD has great classes (Alexandria has none to my knowledge) but it is quite small and the equipment is not great. I also went to a gym in Marrickville that was taken over by fitness playground so no point in mentioning it as I am sure it must be different now. In conclusion, you get what you pay for here. Hint, look for someone trying to get out of their membership on Gumtree or wait for a promotion to avoid the sign up fee.

The actual worst gym I've ever been to. The equipment was SO old. Yes, they were "updating it"…read moreslowly... but they still don't have mats, which I requested over two years ago. They're always "coming," apparently. One of their biggest "updates" was taking the main area where all the women did their sit-ups and stretches and turning it into a weight-lifting zone. Every time I went, there were maybe two people using it, compared to the ten or so women who used to stretch and do core/arm work there. Makes no sense. Another huge issue: the trainers hog the machines. They'll have two machines going at once, in a tiny gym, even when it's not peak time. So half the time you can't get on anything because trainers are camping on them or members are hogging them too. DO NOT JOIN. It sucks, and there are so many better gyms out there. I was miserable the entire time I went and only stuck with it out of convenience.

This gym has been given the fitness first face lift recently. Converted from the blue image to the…read morenew and trendier sexy and fit Red look. The gym now contains a lot of new stuff like plenty of squat racks and some new cool cardio equipment with new gym equipment friendly floors. The overall look of the gym has improved however I do feel as though this gym could do with replacing some of the machines as they are a lot older then the ones I have seen in other fitness firsts. Staff are friendly and the reception area looks great. The gym also offers a wide range of classes for people to attend. Changing facilities are very clean and include a steam room. The gym is a very good one and doesn't get overly crowded like some fitness firsts can be which is very good. Little more improvement with the equipment and would be 5 out of 5.

My favourite is BikeAsana which is 30 minutes of hectic bike work followed by 30 mins of stretchy, relaxy yoga. Perfectly balanced. The music (especially Shannon's iTunes) is actually stuff I enjoy working out to and the trainers are great. Also, I think these are the first spin bikes that haven't given me the post-spin bum bruise. They're actually comfortable! Like Ying says, there is a community vibe here. They throw Xmas parties, put on movies, have a progression sticker chart and also a lounge area where you can use Wi fi and sip coconuts. If you want to do your own training, you'll be disappointed because its classes only. This suits me fine 'cos that's all I do. The only drawbacks are that it's expensive and maybe not great if you get a bit bored of spin and yoga. All in all its 4 stars from me.

And if you're looking for some low-key, no pretense, hot 'n' sweaty gym action, this is your spot. Not only is this gym as humble and anti-GloboGym as you can get, but it's a complete mixed bag of clientele - from the dirty hipsters who clearly come to the gym strictly for ironic purposes, to Bondi beefcakes of both sexes, to surfers, to yummy mummies, to Hugh Jackman. A few treadmills, a few cycles, a few ellipticals and enough strength training equipment that would all fit inside of one of the mega-gym's group exercise rooms. And this is exactly why I love it. Speaking of group exercise, they have a few classes a week of boxing, TRX and beach bootcamps. Monthly rates depending on your commitment range from $150 to $80ish.
