So, I've never been to Soul Cycle or Fly Wheel but as they're all the rage in the states I was…read moreexcited when a friend told me a similar version had opened up in Sydney- Don't think that this is anything like the cycling classes you'd take at Fitness First or something. The whole point of Scenic Cycle is to have a fun class (think the latest jams blaring as you ride) while you bike through a particular route (Hawaii, Switzerland, you name it!). There are massive screens set up in the front of the room that you follow along with as you ride- having the road in front of you somehow manages to take away some of the pain associated with exercising. New bikes, a great instructor, shower facilities, centrally located, class times that are conducive to people who work...this place is great.

The classes were always full of sweat & laughter. Especially Ruben's stories & dance moves. LOL The time slots really worked for me, so you end up training With allot of the same people, so it becomes like having a PT w your bestys. I love SFX, POUND FOR POUND (boxing) & PILATES. Sandy has a special place in everyone's heart. Love these legends. TanTan x

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.

I came here for a BikeAsana class with Kate while staying in Paddo for a few days on holiday…read more Absolutely beautiful studio space overlooking Oxford Street in a charming area full of high end Australian shops. The class was just the challenge I was looking for and I hope to try another before leaving Sydney. Highly recommend!!

Tried to find this place two days in a row and succeeded on the 2nd try lol! There's literally no…read moresignage, only in certain locations near the galeria (not their corporate red/white signage). I walked around the galeria and finally stopped to ask a kiosk owner where the gym was located. I came across some escalators and saw the gym hiding away upstairs. Was wanting to take a group x class, and after paying the 25.00 AUD day pass fee, the employee did not see anything on the schedule for 7am (come to realize I was at the wrong location). He directed me to the other location nearby, but I told him I already paid for a day pass and wasn't going to pay for another. He was not rude, but he was not friendly, either (he just appeared tired and not a morning person). Group X room was old with old equipment, flooring, etc. but it was very clean & small). Overall, the gym appeared to be very small for a platinum club and surprised that it was dubbed so.

People here are inadequately trained. Poor customer service and completely useless. Try and cancel…read moreyour membership and they will not make it easy! Never again will I ever join a gym on this basis alone. Thanks for ruining the gym experience for me to the team at Park Street. You'll never find better jobs if you can't even do this one properly. To the branch manager there, you need to go back to school and learn basic common sense.

If you're looking to give yourself a serious body-image issue, move to Bondi immediately. Everyone…read morehere is fit, (and beautiful, and tan, and happy - but more on that in other reviews) so I'd highly recommend finding a gym and finding one fast. 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.

Hiscoes is probably the daggiest gym in Sydney. And this is why I love it…read more At Hiscoes it's highly unlikely that you will come across any young, beefed up, oiled and muscley men doing bicep curls in front of a mirror, throwing you side glances to see if you're watching. It's also highly unlikely that you will feel the need to update your work-out clothes every month in order to maintain the trendy look of the gym. And whilst Hiscoes does have a committed community of regulars, it's highly unlikely that you will be running beside rippling 'Biggest Loser' trainers or beautifully toned film stars that make you want to close your eyes whilst running on the treadmill (not advisable). The gym is small and family based with a distinctly local scene. The downside of this is that if you prefer to be anonymous when you're working out, it's hard to go by unnoticed here. The staff know you by face and name, which means that they also know when it's been a while since your last visit. Also, don't think that just because Hiscoes' team of regulars fall within the 45 - 60 bracket that they're not intimidating too - it's tough standing beside any person that can run for hours without breaking into a sweat or bench-press more than three times what I can, let alone if they're twice or three times my age. Hiscoes has everything you need to try to get fit, including Spin, Boxing, Pilates and Yoga classes. Plus added motivation comes in the form of that cheesy, crusty pizza aroma that wafts across the road from Crust. And trust me, there's nothing like the smell of pizza to make you work harder.
