Higher State Melbourne Airport - Melbourne Airport (VIC)

5 /5 Richard Woolford: My partner and I have been attending Higher State for almost a year now. Given the opportunity to have a membership being a Melbourne Airport worker. We find the gym and pool facilities to be very clean and new. The array of equipment suits our workouts and the gym is often empty. The sauna can be disappointing at times due to its size and inconsistent heat, however, when available it’s a good option. The pool area, when not used by guests and children, is also a great alternative. We are now using the facility via the Fitness Passport App and Riley has always been able to help us along the way with any issues. He replies promptly to any text messages and solves any access or membership problems easily. Higher State is a fantastic facility for members and guests of the hotel. A couple of side issues, the lockers are too small and very few are available and the change rooms lack a space to change.

5 /5 Alyssa battagila: I’ve been really enjoying my time at this gym. The facilities are always clean, well-maintained, and everything is in proper working order — which makes a huge difference to the overall experience. It’s also never overly crowded, so I never have to worry about waiting for equipment or changing my workout plans. As someone who works frequently at the airport, the location is super convenient for me to pop in for a workout either before or after a shift. Having reliable access to all the equipment I need, in a calm and tidy space, really helps me stay consistent with my training. Highly recommend this gym for anyone looking for a quiet, well-kept, and accessible fitness environment.

5 /5 Samantha Lippiatt: Love this! Booked a casual visit during a 5 hour layover here and enjoyed the lap pool, infrared sauna and massage chair. Great 24 hr gym and shower facilities as well. Small lockers to store cabin baggage. Pool and infrared sauna open 6am until 8pm.

5 /5 Lou Kelly: Such an awesome spot to work out, stretch, swim, reform, and truly decompress. The facilities are so well thought out — there’s a pool, infrared sauna, and three separate gym spaces: one for conventional training with all the machines and free weights you’d expect, a compact functional fitness room complete with a virtual personal trainer, and a virtual reformer Pilates room. The bathrooms are modern, with showers and complimentary towels, and are open to everyone — even if you’re not staying at the Novotel or Ibis. We had a layover and it was honestly the perfect way to spend a few hours — cheaper and way healthier than sitting in the airport lounge all day. Walk in and you’ll be greeted by Riley, whose super welcoming and friendly, gives you a quick tour, and helps you get your ticket sorted online in about two clicks. Thanks for having us. We’ll recommend this place to all our travel buddy’s heading overseas from NZ!

5 /5 Mia Goreng: Wow! Very impressed with the facilities at Higher State. Such a great venue concept to be able to go to the gym, do Pilates, use the pool or infrared sauna or get spa treatments before or after a flight. Big shoutout to Ilknur - such a gem, who did both my facial and massage. Will definitely be back
