Matthews Hill Reserve Outdoor gym 3 - Sunshine (VIC)

sharona Ive tried many different types of exercise but KX lve stuck too. All the teachers at Forestville are friendly, really supportive to beginners and ready to push you further once you hit intermediate or advanced.

KZ I joined Zap in Adelaide in December 2022, moved to Zap Carlton in January 2023, and had my last day with Zap in September 2025. Somehow, after all this time, I don’t have a single photo of the gym — so I’m just going to attach a screenshot of my first ever successful pull-up instead. Overall, I enjoyed my time here. The equipment is decent, the place is clean, and it served me well for years. But after moving to another gym (Training Day Burwood), I realised just how tiny Zap Carlton actually is. Honestly, if they could just expand into the Australian Tours Management space next door (which I’ve never seen anyone enter in three years), it would completely transform the gym. Zap is a huge company — extra space and equipment wouldn’t be hard for them. Daniel, the personal trainer I worked with at Zap Newton (Adelaide), was outstanding — extremely professional, and his physique alone was convincing enough. Unfortunately, I didn’t see the same calibre of trainers at Zap Carlton. Now, the reason I’m not giving 5 stars: the membership cancellation. I paid the most expensive tier ($16/week) for 1.5 years, then switched to the $10/week option in June 2024. When I tried to cancel in August 2025, I was told I still had 1.5 years minimum term because I changed plans. No flexibility, no consideration of my loyalty, nothing. I even referred two friends to this gym — and this is the treatment you get on the way out. It’s all fun and games when you’re signing up, but this is what you get when you part ways. Despite that, I had many great memories here, and I genuinely hope others enjoy their workouts at this place.

Justine Frost I have been going to Cinch for a couple of years now and absolutely love it. Nikki and her team have created such a welcoming environment that it is impossible not to feel brilliant when you are done. All of the trainers are lovely and also invested in helping you reach your full potential, which with their expert guidance and tuition is often far greater than you would have imagined for yourself. Progressive strength training was new to me when I joined Cinch, but I have always felt very confident to push myself because the trainers keep a very keen eye on what is happening and are quick to correct form or technique as needed. Nikki puts a lot of effort into her programs each term to ensure that we are always doing something different and fun. Her online spin classes are wonderful, she manages to squeeze an awesome cardio workout into a half hour session that is super convenient being able to do it from home while the rest of the household is getting ready for their day. Following actual cycling events keeps the classes interesting and lively! Brilliant gym, highly highly recommended!!

Chris Guilbaud-Oulton James’ expertise in the field and commitment to the program has allowed me to continuously achieve fitness goals that I thought would not have been possible some time ago. I am forever grateful that he has provided me with the tools for me to become the best version of my self. James is both professional and personable. I would highly recommend his business to any person looking for a physical change.
