DeakinACTIVE Burwood Fitness Centre - Burwood (VIC)

3 /5 Sara Vargovic: The space in nice, staff friendly, not too much equipment choices, especially if you come during the peak hours. The working times during the weekend are disappointing. And the gym is not open during the public holidays. It’s a shame as it would definitely bring a lot of people in. Sometimes the cleanliness of a common/ stretch area is not up to the standard which for a gym and that amount of visitors is not healthy to say the least.

4 /5 Isobel Georgeson: Great equipment (uses Technogym), but at certain times (4-7pm especially) the gym is so packed that sometimes you can’t even use a treadmill. The classes that are run here are amazing and inclusive to all fitness levels. Unfortunately the gym is only open for short hours on weekends, but it makes sense as it is on the university.

2 /5 Karen Silva: At first glance, this gym seems like a good deal — affordable price, friendly trainers, and decent equipment. But after spending some time here, I realized that no matter how kind the staff is (and they truly are amazing), it’s just not enough to make up for the chaos, overcrowding, and lack of hygiene The trainers deserve full credit — kind, professional, always ready to help. They’re truly the heart of the place. But sadly, the environment they work in doesn’t match their quality. The gym is far too small for the number of people they allow in. Peak hours (especially around 7pm) are a nightmare: machines are always taken, there’s barely room to move, and when group classes happen, you’re forced to cut your routine short because there’s literally no space left. And then… the smell, uggghhh. With poor ventilation and so many people, the air gets unbearable. Even the stretching room ends up reeking of sweat What’s really frustrating is that some members clearly break basic hygiene and safety rules, like working out in jeans, flip flops, or even barefoot —and nobody says anything. It’s hard to understand why nothing is said when it’s so obviously against gym standards and it really lowers the overall quality of the place. Lastly, the bathroom setup is just… no. They smell like moisture and teenagers. Having the toilet and shower in the same small space is a terrible idea. I’ve walked in too many times to find the entire floor soaked because no one cleans between uses. I truly hope they make improvements — the staff and the members deserve a space that reflects the effort they put in. But for now, I’d rather pay more for a gym where cleanliness, space, and basic standards are actually respected.

3 /5 Wezza M: I been going to this Gym for nearly 2 months . Very large space , has plenty of core equipment . peak hours are busy . There are plenty of staff around but they don’t appear to be doing much supervision around the equipment itself . Efficiency of usage around weights will be much improved if users are instructed not to hold on to equipment during rest periods. For example on the row triangle machine it is not unusual to see some one doing 2 sets over 15 mins. Which means they are seated and blocking other users for the majority of that time . A simple prompt or a sign will fix this problem and make the experience so much better for for all.

2 /5 Sacha Draycott: The gym is clean and the staff are great, but the opening times are horrible and dont justify the price point at all.
