Australian Combat & Exercise - Banksia (NSW)

Chloe Chambers I recently joined Phoenix Martial Arts and felt very comfortable very quickly! I had been looking for a place for a while and did a trial session pack, knew after my first class that this place, the coaches and the other members were a fit for me! Whether you want to kick out some excess energy or find a social place where you can learn self defence, I would definitely recommend Phoenix!

Kevin Wan I chanced upon Quantum Physique as I was visiting my cousin who was having a training session there. I was impressed by the quality of the facility and the trainer Adrien. He is a cool bloke and obviously very passionate at what he does. He was extremely welcoming and invited me to try some of the very sophisticated looking pilates machines. It was fun and I felt muscle pains in every inch of my body for the days to come which was a sign of an awesome workout. Free parking at the front is also worth mentioning.

Mark Condello After the move to the new building this gym is great. It has everything i need and theres often available equipment for my session.

KZ I joined Zap in Adelaide in December 2022, moved to Zap Carlton in January 2023, and had my last day with Zap in September 2025. Somehow, after all this time, I don’t have a single photo of the gym — so I’m just going to attach a screenshot of my first ever successful pull-up instead. Overall, I enjoyed my time here. The equipment is decent, the place is clean, and it served me well for years. But after moving to another gym (Training Day Burwood), I realised just how tiny Zap Carlton actually is. Honestly, if they could just expand into the Australian Tours Management space next door (which I’ve never seen anyone enter in three years), it would completely transform the gym. Zap is a huge company — extra space and equipment wouldn’t be hard for them. Daniel, the personal trainer I worked with at Zap Newton (Adelaide), was outstanding — extremely professional, and his physique alone was convincing enough. Unfortunately, I didn’t see the same calibre of trainers at Zap Carlton. Now, the reason I’m not giving 5 stars: the membership cancellation. I paid the most expensive tier ($16/week) for 1.5 years, then switched to the $10/week option in June 2024. When I tried to cancel in August 2025, I was told I still had 1.5 years minimum term because I changed plans. No flexibility, no consideration of my loyalty, nothing. I even referred two friends to this gym — and this is the treatment you get on the way out. It’s all fun and games when you’re signing up, but this is what you get when you part ways. Despite that, I had many great memories here, and I genuinely hope others enjoy their workouts at this place.

Kate Gniel I can highly recommend Laura and Pinot Pilates. Having never done Pilates before laura has helped guide me through each session with confidence and makes it fun. Laura uses her magnetic personality and sound Pilates knowledge to help bring the best out in everyone during each season. I always look forward to my session.
