I have been going to this place since it opened a few months ago, I'd have to say it's probably the…read morebest gym I've been to (for me anyway). It's pretty big, it's always clean & it has a huge women's only section! They allow for casual visits as well, so on the weekends if I want to train with a friend I can.

Great gym, great staff in a great location! Huge free weights area with more squat racks than you…read morecould ever need! Staff are super friendly and helpful. You can train freely without having to worry about being too loud or dropping the weights. All other members are super respectful and I've only ever had pleasant interactions coming to this place. Overall a solid 10/10 gym with everything you could ever need if your goal is to get some serious lifting sessions in!

I'm really surprised at the review that was left here and I can understand how they might feel…read moreabout this place. It has been several years since they wrote theirs so I hope this clarifies things. I used to be a member here for a couple years a few years ago and loved it and I'm returning this year because I've moved back to the neighbourhood. This gym is an incredible affordable gym with specials of $399 a year (changes every month or so) or a $10 a week with no lock in and leave anytime membership. With little marketing, glitzy signs or fancy embroided towels; you really get so much here with out paying for a corporate head office or CEO. It is very well equipped! Although some of it might look a little old, it's purpose is clear and built to last. Your not paying to constantly get shiny new 'do the same thing' equipment. You pay just the right amount for access to everything you need and more and when a new peice of equipment hits the market that revolutionises that is worth investing in they bring it in. Recently they invested in an Iron Edge Cage for lifters and a Helix lateral trainer. They also have a machine to single out any muscle group which is great for those who want to do self rehabilitation and all the free weights and benches to do more broad muscle group exercises or the regular gym type stuff. They have the conventional cardio machines and a nice stretching area with all the equipment you might need to do as well as a small boxing/kickboxing room. This might not be a virgin active and honestly I'm grateful it isn't. As for their staff, they are happy to help you with any exercise if it's quiet and are happy to put together routines for you but there is only a couple of staff available everyday so their job is to tend to regular business chores and make sure there is always someone around to be safe. PTs are also available to make the most of your membership and to guide you through every exercise or goal you want to achieve. This is my gym I can't have at home for less than what it would cost to have at home.

Don't bother. This…read moregym is basically a collection of untalented footballers, tradies and wannabe gym junkies who don't know what they are doing but like to walk around in a singlet and flaunt the muscles they don't actually have. It was a terrible crowd to put it nicely. Looking around, no-one showed good technique when exercising and the staff just stand around dumbfounded watching them. Staff you hear? They are ridiculous. I was just there with a mate to have a look around and do a cheeky little session if they let me, and you bet they didn't make it easy for me at all. To cut a long-story short I ended up paying the day rate (which is also the week rate) to workout for a day, but not before throwing a mini tantrum and nearly walking out. When they had my money they tried to play nice but I wasn't really up for that. Atmosphere - 1/5 Equipment - 1/5 (there's nothing there, and the oldschool bits of equipment that are there, you have to wait-on because of the crowd Hospitality - 0/5 Price - 2/5 My advice - go somewhere else

I would strongly advise against joining this gym…read more My experience was marred with unfriendly, unprofessional receptionists, very limited yoga classes and highly inconvenient opening hours (even to simply use the gym area). I asked to cancel my membership during the peak of covid as I had lost my job. I was met with very little sympathy and a $300 cancellation fee. I could only commit to one calendar year of a membership, regardless of covid closures, but my membership was extended because apparently the closed months did not count - I did not sign up to have my membership delayed several months and should not be expected to pay for a gym I physically could not attend once the year had passed.

The Fitness Lab is a cool little boutique style gym. It's extremely small and has very limited…read moreequipment, so not for any gym junkies, but good for anyone just wanting something for general health & well-being. They seem to heavily rely on personal training - and for that the place is great. As I kinda need my equipment and a bit of space, this gym isn't for me, but it's perfect for anyone wanting a PT or just to do some general exercise. The staff here are extremely friendly and welcoming - because of this I decided to join for a Month. That's the other great thing - NO CONTRACTS, you can just pay Month-to-Month, and it's CHEAP - $55 per Month. Definitely a winner.. I hope this place does well

This gym has just changed its name to Goodlife from Genesis (to repeat what Kelly said below)…read more Asides from that everything else remains the same. With that in mind, I'm pasting my previous review here with a couple of minor adjustments. Conveniently situated in The Well, Camberwell. This large gym has a lot of equipment, loads of classes and a friendly bunch of trainers. It even boasts city views so you can admire the Melbourne skyline whilst shedding the pounds. The gym has recently adopted a high intensity interval training approach to its classes and personal training, and has included GRIT and RPM cycle classes to their timetable. All round this is a great gym. The only drawback is the price, at $44 a fortnight for a standard membership. Goodlife Camberwell is hard to beat though, so the price is definitely worth it.

Changed from a Genesis to a Goodlife. Same gym, same staff, same classes. So here's my same review…read more- a simple cut and paste if you will! Friendly staff, spacious change rooms with hairdryers and straighteners, big studios, great instructors - and a kick ass view of the city to distract you while slogging it out on the cardio machines.

I float between this Jetts and a couple of others. The only downside to this one is the cleanliness, always seems to have bins overflowing or no paper towel. Maybe its just my horrid luck.

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.

I love the classes here, so many different options including Reformer Pilates, Body Pump and Yoga…read more Staff are friendly and very helpful. A lot has changed for the better since the new owner took over mid last year.
