Boroondara Sports Complex - Balwyn North (VIC)

1 /5 Steven Chen: They have badminton people playing on basketball courts, and then they say court 3 is free, when there’s literally 30 on there playing there, making you waste your money and you can’t even play. They are scamming you.

4 /5 Hala Allabadi: This place is top noch, very clean areas for exercise, swimming, with a cafe, basketball courts, and a creche/childcare facility. There is a school holidays programme being run by the YMCA also

1 /5 Jámes T: Do not bring your kids here if you want them to learn gymnastics. Classes go for an hour, yet they spend 20 mins talking / doing little games. So you’re paying for glorified babysitting after 5pm. When they finally decide to start teaching, the attitude of some staff is appalling. They look like they’d rather be elsewhere / talk to other coaches instead of helping kids. Serious waste of money.

5 /5 Bill Beruldsen: Wowie what an amazing sports complex - incredible place. And the staff are really nice people, especially at reception - friendly, approachable and will go out of their way to help you. Wish this place was in my suburb!

1 /5 Dylan Tran: Got told off for "resting for too long" on the hamstring machine at the gym which is funny because I quite literally time my rest breaks to make sure I rest enough in between sets (I had rested for LESS than 2 minutes). The bloke tried explaining to me that I didnt need to rest for that long because hamstrings "arent a large muscle group", I didnt say anything back because I was just so confused as to why he felt the need to talk to me. Keep in mind that this was like 11am on a weekday, so the gym was pretty much deserted. Anyways, because of this and other instances of flat-out annoying staff members (recollecting it now, it was just that one white guy, maybe 510, kinda chubby), Ive switched gyms - Best decision ever.
