It's official! Anytime Fitness has opened at Walkerville in the old IGA location at the corner of…read moreWalkerville Terrace and Smith St. I was completely blown away when I walked in. It is such a different space of course and I have to say I'm impressed with what they have done. The facilities are fantastic with individual unisex shower/toilet rooms. The staff are extremely friendly and the prices are more than affordable. I noticed most of the cardio equipment is the Life Fitness arrange which means you can download an app and login with a QR scan and track your fitness regime. Great to see their security measures - being a 24 hour fitness centre, you can wear a security tag that links directly to security if you feel you're threatened when there on your own outside of normal business hours. Definitely a place to consider for your fitness needs!

Finding the time to exercise is a challenge in itself; it doesn't need to be any harder by gyms…read moredictating what time you need to be there. As a person working in hospitality, my work hours are very unpredictable. Naturally, I was pleased to hear the opening of 24fit - a gym I could go to at any time I wanted to fit my own lifestyle. As the name suggests, the gym is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. There are personal trainers and staff in the gym at particular periods of the day, but it's open to members whenever they wish to access it. The equipment is state of the art and brand new, with a range of weight machines, free weights, treadmills and much more. They also have cycling simulators with which you can race with someone adjacent to you. It's like playing a videogame, only you have to put in all the work that the cyclist is doing on the screen. It's a great way to rule out the dread of exercise and turn it into a fun activity. The security is top-notch and is a necessity for a gym that is unmonitored by staff for the majority of the day. Members gain access using an electronic keyfob, and a camera armed with face recognition software will alert personnel if the keyfob is being used by anyone other than its owner. Emergency panels are also ready inside in the case of injury or danger. The other week my girlfriend and I used the same keyfob to get in, as I'd forgotten mine at home. The next day she received a call from security staff, informing her that someone had entered the gym with her device. Despite the false alarm, it was incredibly reassuring that the security personnel is on its toes!

And I've gotta say, it's quite an experience. I'm between gyms at the moment. I've probably sunk a small fortunate in testing out gyms with which I have no membership. I guess I'm afraid of making a commitment, or I'm waiting for one to jump out at me. So far, I'd say 24fit is dancing quite happily at the top of my list. The facilities are great. All the equipment is in mint condition and very easy to use. I've a friend who has a membership here, and I heard about the place from him. I've so far attended twice and have had a huge amount of fun racing him on the virtual cyclist races. I've a feeling if I had a membership at this gym I'd build up my legs quick-smart. A great, fantastic gym. If you're looking around for one like I am, you might just settle on this one, as I'm most likely to do.

I've been going to Your World Fitness since it opened its doors last year…read more It gets an A+++ for appearance. It has to be one of the most glamorous places in SA to go to the gym, complete with chandeliers and works of art adorning the walls. The place is massive and the facilities are state of the art - you never need to fight for a space to exercise. The class times are a bit awkward and don't really suit city workers, who I'd assume would be their biggest clients - so I'd recommend checking that out before you join. I'm hopeful that as they grow they will have more classes (especially yoga!) available. The biggest downfall is parking - unfortunately they have no designated parking and the car park across the road closes at 7pm which doesn't help those of us wanting to train after work. Street parking is the way to go but often difficult - unless you are doing a 6am class. Overall, a great gym and can't wait to see how it improves as time goes by!

This is a great gym, go and check it out for yourself. I want all my friends to go!…read more There are 5 levels to this gym, including at wet area (sauna, steam room and spa etc). The staff are friendly, always saying hello and goodbye when you leave the gym. The people who have set this gym up have a keen eye to detail, they are interested in providing an innovative gym experience. I have started with a Personal Trainer recently and it has been one of the best things that I have done. We have been incorporating a few crossfit exercises into my training and he has been able to make the training specific to my strenghth building needs that compliments my other activities. The gym boasts lots of great activities such as pilates, gravity yoga and pole conditioning. There is even a cafe on the ground floor with a wide selection of goodies for gym junkies. And if you have children, there are childcare facilities too. I haven't had a problem with carparking before or after hours either.

The pool is not undercover so slip, slop, slap or at least go when the sun isn't at it's fiercest.

North Adelaide Fitness Centre has won a plethora of Adelaide awards as an independent fitness…read morecentre and gives the bigger, more expensive gyms a really good run for their money. North Adelaide runs a fully equipped gymnasium with separate weights and cardio room. In addition, they have two rooms allocated for fitness classes. They run all of the popular Les Mills classes and a couple of their own including Pilates, Yoga and Kickboxing. They also offer RPM in the cycling room downstairs but I cannot tell you what it's like because RPM is the worst kind of pain ever invented and I rather poke my own eyes out then go. The staff are super friendly and will sit down with you and work out what they can do for you to help with your weight loss and fitness goals. They will also create a personal fitness plan for free and they go through all of the exercises and movements so they can be performed and safely and correctly for the maximum benefits. They also run boot camps and fund raising fitness classes which make for an exciting and uplifting atmosphere, where you really feel welcome. Because of its location there is limited parking which can be a pain in the butt, and the street is also used as a shortcut for traffic coming from the city. So try to avoid peak times and there will be less traffic, more parking, and less sweaty beefy men filling the weights room!

Shane White runs a private gym at his home which consists of a fully equipped weights room, a…read morecardio room, and shower and change facilities. This gym is open to clients when they are receiving personal training from him. His setup is very good, and I like the experience of training at a private gym because you are never waiting for equipment to become available, so the intensity of the workout is much higher, and therefore more effective. Northgate Personal Training has been running for some time, and I had seen his adverts since I moved into the area over 8 years ago, but thought that personal training wasn't for me. Then ironically in a hot chicken shop on a day where I was not feeling happy as none of my attempts to get back into exercise had worked, I saw his adverts again and decided that I should give it a go. Shane manages to strike the right balance between being firm but encouraging, friendly but not so chatty that the intensity of your workout suffers. He offers his clients many forms of motivation, I travel frequently and so often get an encouraging text to ensure that I am eating correctly or following the programme he wrote for me at the hotel gym. Shane makes me feel like I am in safe hands and so will go that extra rep or try that new exercise with more confidence. He also makes sure that my workout is never boring - it is always changing, so I never quite know what he is going to get me to do, and I like not having to think about it, but just doing what he tells me to do. Sure enough in just a few months I am seeing far better results than when I trained on my own, and I am more diligent at attending sessions because I feel encouraged and also because there is something in making an appointment that makes you keep it more than if you were training off your own back. I was very unfit and I must admit that the pre-concept of what a personal trainer would be like put me off. I had visions of a military style guy, and of feeling inadequate and self-conscious. Shane is not one of those old-school trainers that shouts and uses humiliation, he is smarter than that, using well placed compliments and respectful encouragement to get you to achieve your best. He also gives you lots of advice and information along the way with many printed hand-outs, and frequently a new product or two to try out. Since starting to use Northgate Personal Training, I have lost 8kg and put on muscle. Friends and work colleagues are now noticing the changes and I am feeling more healthy and confident. If you live in the area and you are looking for a trainer, then I recommend that Northgate Personal Training is on your list of options to consider. I am glad that I gave it a go, and found that the idea of having a trainer wasn't nearly as intimidating as I thought it would be.
