Greenwich Reserve Outdoor Gym - Newport (VIC)

Lisa Tran Before joining TSF, I trained on and off at commercial gyms, mostly following programs I made up myself. I was constantly changing things around, which meant I never really stuck to one plan or saw consistent progress. Walking into TSF for the first time was definitely intimidating. Everyone looked so strong and experienced, and I wasn’t sure if I’d fit in or be able to keep up. I started Barbell Club in June 2024, and that’s really where everything changed. Over the eight weeks, I learned how to lift with proper form, how different variations target different muscle groups, and how exercises can be adapted for different body types. One of the biggest lessons was realising that strength isn’t just about muscle size or appearances — it’s about technique, consistency, and progression. Since then, training at TSF has had a huge impact on my confidence. First, confidence in my body’s ability to keep pushing and achieving new goals. And second, confidence in knowing that consistent hard work, dedication, and effort really do pay off — something that has carried over into my work, social life, and family life. The coaches are fantastic. They’re genuinely invested in my success, always taking the time to help me improve, and their excitement and energy are contagious. The sense of community at TSF is something really special. I quickly noticed that no matter how experienced you are or how much weight you’re lifting, if someone’s going for a PB or celebrating a win, the whole gym gets behind them with encouragement and support. Another unexpected benefit was being convinced (thanks Minh Duong and Pam Alcantara!) to join the Tuesday run nights. I never planned to run more than a 5km fun run, but with their encouragement I now run 5km every week and have even completed my first 10km. The environment also makes it easy to connect with people from all walks of life — friendships I wouldn’t normally have had the chance to build. TSF has become so much more than just a gym for me. It’s a place where I’ve grown stronger, built confidence, found community, and been pushed beyond what I thought I was capable of.

Immanuel Amalraj I started my PT sessions with Jared as a complete beginner 2 months ago, and now I can confidently say training with Jared has been one of the best investments I’ve made. Jared is not your average PT, as he will do a full deep dive on various topics related to body transformation with you, that go beyond only form/exercise. He’s also very skilled at delivering that knowledge onto you so it sticks with you, by gradually bringing in concepts with each session as you become ready to absorb more information. What truly sets Jared apart, is that he’s highly experienced and knowledgeable on nutrition, recovery and diet in addition to the workout exercises. So when you train with him, he gives you everything you need to know to achieve your goals at the gym. Since I started training with him, he has given me a tailored workout split and meal plan that is specifically designed for my body and goals. By following that each week, I have already made significant progress in 2 months than what I could have done on my own. Whether you’re new to the gym or not, Jared will provide the appropriate level of nuance based on your experience level. Would highly recommend.

li jiawen My baby girl absolutely loves Shelby (her first ever teacher). Shelby had taught my 4month old how to kick and blow bubble in water. Seeing them play, giggle and chill in the pool melts my heart. grateful for such a wonderful experience and Shelby!

Sahani Gunathilake I’ve seen Cece twice now for neck/back pain and plan on visiting more frequently. She spends the first part of the session taking a thorough history and then starts working on the muscles. I always feel so much better and plan to come in more regularly for maintenance.

Claire Drew Its a very good gym. It was my first time at a gym but the staff and even the other members in the gym were so non-judgmental and helped me get comfortable in working out. Every machine you could need is here. If I could give this gym a higher rating I would.
