Derrimut 24:7 Gym Port Melbourne - Port Melbourne (VIC)

3 /5 Christopher Currie: Facilities are great, you wont find a gym with a more extensive range of workout equipment. It does get quite crowded so fortunately there are a lot of options for the popular machines. Theres heaps of space for bicycle parking, which is often easier than finding a car park. My issue is with the cleaning and maintenance. Theres some stretching mats in front of mirrors that seem to get neglected when cleaning, they can get pretty gross. The other recurring issue is the sauna in the mens changeroom. Its had a sign saying "temporarily out of order" for over a month now, which is starting to seem a bit more permanent Great gym with a lot of potential, just needs a few tweaks

2 /5 Michael D: I visited Derrimut 24:7 Port Melbourne while travelling from interstate Queensland as a Fitness Passport holder, and unfortunately, there were several issues that stood out during my visit. Parking First off, there is no allocated parking for the gym. You have to find street parking, which can be quite difficult in that area. For a gym of this size, I was surprised there was not at least some dedicated parking available. Cleanliness and Hygiene This was one of my main concerns. I noticed that more than half of the people training were not using towels, and there were no sanitation or wipe stations anywhere to clean the equipment between use. In this day and age, that is disappointing. On a positive note, the bathrooms were modern and clean, so credit where it is due. Floor Space and Layout The gym floor felt quite cramped. We struggled to even find a section to do walking lunges, which says a lot given how big the building is meant to be. There is certainly a lot of equipment, but it feels like quantity over quality. The brands are all mixed including Hammer Strength, Life Fitness, and a couple of others which makes the setup feel chaotic. There is no clear organisation, for example, all leg machines grouped together. Everything just seems scattered around randomly. Cafe and Protein Bar We tried to buy a protein shake after training, but the ladies behind the counter told us they had run out of nearly all ingredients, except for two very basic options. For a large modern gym, that is not a great look. Payment Options Another downside is that there are no cash payments allowed. You have to pay by card only, which I personally think is un-Australian. It is something that really annoys me when businesses refuse to accept legal tender. Crowd and Atmosphere We attended at about 3 p.m. on a Tuesday, which you would think would be off peak, but the place was absolutely packed. I would hate to imagine what it is like at 5 p.m. It was difficult to move around or get access to certain machines. Staff and Management Staff were okay. I would give them about 7 out of 10. They were polite but did not seem overly engaged. I asked if there was a manager around because I wanted to share some constructive feedback, but I was told the manager finishes at 2 p.m. For a busy facility like this, that just adds to the feeling that there is a lack of care or oversight. Fitness Passport Holders One positive I will note is that as a Fitness Passport member, I appreciated that they do not charge a tag or key fob fee. A lot of franchise gyms charge exorbitant prices just to access the facility, so credit where it is due. It is nice to see Derrimut not doing that. Overall Impression The gym looks good on the surface and has plenty of equipment, but the layout, cleanliness, and overall experience were disappointing. I was not impressed, and I doubt I would return.

4 /5 James Cassar: Derrimut Gym in Port Melbourne is a fantastic facility with a fresh and modern vibe. The neon-lit entrance and greenery wall make for a great first impression, and the design inside is sleek and inviting. The spacious cafe is a definite highlight – perfect for a post-workout smoothie or coffee. The equipment is high-quality, with plenty of variety to suit all fitness levels, and theres heaps of space, even during busier times. I also love the greenery and natural light, which give the gym a welcoming, relaxed feel rather than the usual industrial look. One of the best perks? Being so close to the beach – there’s nothing better than a dip in the ocean after a good session.
