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 donāt have a single photo of the gym ā so Iām 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 Iāve never seen anyone enter in three years), it would completely transform the gym. Zap is a huge company ā extra space and equipment wouldnāt be hard for them.
Daniel, the personal trainer I worked with at Zap Newton (Adelaide), was outstanding ā extremely professional, and his physique alone was convincing enough. Unfortunately, I didnāt see the same calibre of trainers at Zap Carlton.
Now, the reason Iām 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 ā and this is the treatment you get on the way out.
Itās all fun and games when youāre 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.
