Fitness First Victoria Gardens - Richmond (VIC)

5 /5 Marlon Lucas Dias de Souza: One of the best fitness first. Never crowded, enormous gym floor, amazing variety of machines, fast maintenance of machines, clean gym, only fitness first that I have seen extra stuffs like lift weight belts and back protective belts. Friendly staffs. The only thing that o don’t like is that the gym could have more natural light but I don’t think there is a way to change it.

1 /5 Marina Sokolovskaya: This is a money grabbing service rather then a healthy lifestyle provider. After have a big injury to my knee and having major surgery they refused to pause my membership. Even after providing a doctors note stating above , they would only pause it for a small amount of time. As anyone who had major injuries knows , you can not predict when you will be comfortable to go back to excercise. I spend hours on the phone with the gym trying to pause my membership. The staff were rude and unhelpful. Then when I did go back and my bank card was stolen and I was having it replaced, within 4 days of my payment delayed , they were ringing me threatening to send depth collectors after me! Even before above issues, I was regretting signing up to this gym. The facilities are outdated. The cardio machined ( bike and treadmill) turn off by their own accord in the middle of the workout so you lose all your progress. This happened on multiple machines at the facility. The classes times are for people who do 9-5 jobs. The classes are scarce for people who do shift work .

1 /5 James Gaskell: Unstaffed from 7pm on a Monday? Absolute joke of a gym. For someone who works theres about 4 hours a week when you can have a steam. *reply: Its unsafe to have a steam with no staff around? but OK to bench press heavy weights? That makes sense.

5 /5 Lauren Reardon: Fitness First Victoria Gardens are fantastic! Have been using their facilities for over 6 months - working closely with PT Gabrielle Ballard who is amazing. Close to public transport, great equipment, great classes, friendly team, and plenty of parking.

1 /5 Paul G: You walk in, and whether you like it or not, you are forced in to a mega-loud fitness class, blaring both music and a screaming trainer on a microphone throughout the gym because they refuse to close the wall length folding doors - that combined with the gym rooms music, you walk out with a headache. People have politely closed the doors to the fitness room, but the rude trainers embarrassed them over the microphone and them just re-open the doors. To be honest, its an old gym anyway so youd be better off finding one of the newer and better priced options around the area.
