Really awful service. Was told upon joining I would have no…read morecancellation fees as it was the only way my roommate and myself would sign up that day and they are now making me stay in the contract and refusing to talk to the person that signed me up about it. So I either have to pay $245 to leave or continue paying for a total of around $600. They are basically calling me a liar even with a written statement from my roommate

Today I joined Goodlife in Ashgrove. Even though I just wanted to pop in, sign up, and get to work,…read moreI liked that they sit down with each newcomer to understand why you are joining, what you are trying to accomplish and explain a bit about all that the gym offers. Its like the beginning of a beautiful friendship... with a gym. The group classroom is massive and they have a good number of cardio and exercise machines - however they are missing a few of my favorites that were available at my past health clubs. I think I can make a few recommendations. I will report back on my thoughts on classes after I have had a decent sample. There is a discounted rate for Bupa members (and other private health insurance I assume) if there are any other expats in the crowd!

Awesome. Just awesome…read more Anchor offer boot camps, yoga and PT. Their boot camps are great because they are as tough as you want them to be - so they are perfect for the absolute beginner and for those who are already really fit. The trainers are all really great and never forget a name so it's a great environment. I've also seen they offer more specialised training when it gets close to an obstacle course being run in Brisbane - sounds like great fun but I would rather be in bed so I leave that for others. But it sounds great :) Definitely recommended.

The owners and trainers are friendly. Remember your name. The facility is small enough not to get…read morelost and have a great community feeling and big enough to get your work out done. The only facility I've come across where you can do yoga as well as metabolic conditioning type classes.

I love my gym! I've been a member here since January 2014, after joining at my local Snap. At some…read morepoint my membership transferred over to the city location - apparently it's based on the location you attend the most. I was super happy with the transfer because it means I get to use the awesome classes. Body Balance is my fave and they offer a number of different sessions each week. Apart from the fantastic staff, people who attend here are pretty low key and I never feel out of place in the free weights area. There are also plenty of treadmills, bikes and elliptical thingies, so I've never had to wait. My only criticism is that there's only one set of light weights (1-10kg dumbbells). You would think for a gym this size they'd get a second set. It's a minor criticism and doesn't detract from my 5 star rating. Best gym ever!

I just did the Muay Thai class at Gym Nation last night and it was friggin awesome! I used to do…read moreMuay Thai many years ago in Sydney but gave it up when i moved to Brisbane because all the places i checked out werent very professional and were quite rough. The guys at Gym Nation are total pros - they have all NEW equipment, expert trainers that care about technique and push you to train hard. Im pretty sore - but im definitely going back for more!

Sometimes in the quest for finding the right fitness venue, it's right under your nose, blocked by…read morethe lingering smell of linament. So, forget about finding something in the city - if that's where you work - because the best time to work-out and get in the zone is far earlier than when the bus calls, if you're a fan of public transport, or when you're trapped outside of the T2 lane. Dial up a work-out time of around 6 a.m. at The Gap Health & Racquet Club and you'll find yourself in a sensational sweat and near solo as you work through the static and free weight machines and get that metabolism up to Mach speed that will kill any kilojoules consumed during the day - and even into the night for that matter! The Gap Health & Racquet Club has been the site of other health and well-being venues over the years, but seems to have found its followers in this incarnation that offers the traditional gym work-out plus tennis and racquet ball as alternative cardio sports. The facilities - and I was just there yesterday - are clean and hygienic - with a robust and friendly feel that evokes and encourages a comfort level of camaraderie that's often lacking in traditional gyms. And you won't find any gaps standing in your way when it comes to that experience!

There's a wide mix of people that come along to the classes and it's a relaxed and friendly setting focusing on your individual needs.

So you won't just be relegated to working on the reformer in your studio classes like some other pilates studios. You get personal and attentive guidance from the teachers here and they cater to your body so if you've got an existing injury and want to try pilates definitely try this place out.
