Club Lime Williamstown - Newport (VIC)

1 /5 Sophie Bullen: I’ve just managed to recover a year’s worth of silent direct-debit payments from Williamstown Club Lime, but only because my bank stepped in and initiated a direct debit recall. Williamstown Club Lime themselves were not helpful in resolving the issue. I had been unknowingly charged every month for a membership I wasn’t using, and despite contacting the gym, I couldn’t get a straightforward answer or refund. There was no notification from them about the ongoing payments, no courtesy check-ins, and no clear communication around the contract terms. After going back and forth and getting nowhere, my bank finally processed a full recall of all the payments, which was the only reason I got my money back. If you join Club Lime, triple-check your contract, monitor your debits closely, and don’t rely on them to be transparent about ongoing charges.

4 /5 Macadamia: The space is enormous! Easily one of the largest gyms I’ve seen. With some renovation and updates it could be THE flagship Club Lime club, capable of hosting national competitions and expos. There’s also heaps of equipment! Though at the moment it’s all a bit mismatched, worn, a little broken and in need of some maintenance or replacement in the near future. Still, everything is mostly functional, just showing its age. Club facilities are similar - tired, but serviceable. The club would definitely benefit from a thorough clean, though given the sheer size of the space I can appreciate that’s no small task. The floor plan could also use some rethinking. Itd make more sense to put cycle studio into the pin-weight room, with pin weights moved out onto the main gym floor. The main challenge is a cohort of members who leave weights and equipment scattered around the club, which must be frustrating for staff to clean up each day. Not sure how you fix a culture like that. Finally, it’s not 24 hours yet, but I understand that’s coming once security and electrical upgrades are in place. Overall: a fantastic space with huge potential. Right now it’s a solid 4/5, but with some updates and culture improvements, it could be a real flagship club.

2 /5 Tomo McKinnon: Poorly managed gym. Simple tasks not done. Most of the lockers dont work. Half the showers are out of order. General hygiene poor. Mens bathroom in particular is falling apart. Still not 24/7 hours, despite displaying this on the front of the gym for months. On a good note, the reception staff are lovely, esp Leanne and Alfie.

3 /5 Ant Box: The facilities are good enough for an old gym. Would appreciate a clean up. Receptionist with black and nice makeup is the best and actually cares about members, like chatting with her
