Carlton Baths - Carlton (VIC)

5 /5 BackpackingAndy: Great gym, small but has everything you need from a free weight perspective - squat rack, free weights plates, dumbbells etc. Would return Day pass is around 20 AUD

1 /5 john sinclair: Diversity hire was at the reception when I came in and had an error with my scanner. Told me to scan it at the desk and said I hadnt paid my membership before turning back to her own thing. It was only when I showed them my payment confirmations that they called someone else to help me. She fixed the issue and told me the system had experienced some problems earlier in the morning. What was the point of having someone manning the desk when they either didnt know about, or couldnt care to explain a system issue affecting multiple people? Gym facilities themselves are alright, a few machines could have an extra one to cater for their increased use. The fitness sessions are annoying as they take up half a room of equipment just to use a few ropes and bands. Pool is also way to hot when it is open. Still a good gym with decent equipment, questionable staffing choices, and pricey memberships.

3 /5 T F: I live locally & love coming here - the equipment is fantastic & a big shout out to Jamal, Eliza & Aston -really friendly staff who are welcoming, smiley & love having a chat. Sadly, the reason for this review is this place is really dirty- see pics. It needs a massive deep clean. I’ve discussed with staff previously & even messaged the manager who advised the place is cleaned every night with several hours allocated. I would honestly love to see this as it’s not apparent when coming here.

5 /5 Chu-Lynne Ng: Have been coming here just for Mary-Jane’s Zumba class for 3 years— have checked out many Zumba classes, and hers is unlike any other. SUCH a workout, and I feel like I’m in a music video with her sassiness and enthusiasm. she creates a community around her!

5 /5 Georgia Vermeer: Carlton Baths is a fantastic spot with a real community feel—the atmosphere is always great, welcoming, and never too crowded. I joined the gym late last year, and I’ve loved it. There’s an excellent variety of equipment, all high-quality Technogym, so everything feels smooth and well-maintained. There’s always plenty of space to move. I also love the pool and its grass area. It does get busy, but it never feels overcrowded, and it has a more laid-back atmosphere than the Fitzroy Pools. The whole place is well-run, and it’s a pleasure to be part of. I highly recommend it for casual swimming or joining as a member!
