Packer Park Multi-Sports Area - Carnegie (VIC)

Lauren Russell RFC is the best gym in town! Ive never been to a gym that is so supportive and treats not only their members but casual entries so well. The team at RFC are so friendly and want to make sure all of their clients are getting the most out of their experience. They go out of their way to get to know you and make you feel comfortable! During my time at RFC they have helped me achieve my goals and have supported me throughout my fitness journey. If you’re looking for a gym this is the one for you. With classes in both Morning and Afternoon that are always different and challenging as well as one on one PT sessions. I’ve loved every minute that I’ve spent at RFC and love going to the gym now. Amazing gym and so affordable.

Tiffany Muirhead Haven Wellness really is a haven of body positivity for female-identifying bodies of all sizes and abilities. I started with Anna and the team before COVID, I took a little hiatus, and came back because its such a great place to move my body. To be in a female body living with disordered eating and a history of body issues, its a joy to move my body in a space free from judgy looks, rude opinions, inaccurate information about exercise, trainers who dont consider female bodies, diet talks, and harassment. The best bit is... there are no mirrors! Ever been to a gym with no mirrors? Its a joy! All female-identifying bodies are truly welcome at Haven Wellness. You can wear size 38 clothes, be non-binary, gender fluid, gay, trans-female, bisexual, blind, deaf, in pain every day, introvert or have a physical disability. You are welcome even if you have never moved your body, a history of trauma, are in peri/menopause, know nothing about exercise, have an eating disorder, multiple mental health issues, ADHD, sensory challenges, POCS, endometriosis, and are recovering from injuries. I know I sound like an info-mercial, but it truly is a safe space for women to feel joy moving your body.

Scott Jenke & Zoe Maud Love HealthyFit. As the name suggests, it’s a place for people who train to stay healthy. I was a regular pre-Covid and I’m so glad I started attending regularly again this year. The trainers are lovely and knowledgeable- I appreciate Frank’s low-key friendly vibe at my early morning sessions as I don’t want any over-the-top loud rep-counting encouragement at that hour! After a few months attending regularly, I realised how much progress I have made when moving a large, heavy piece of board with my husband recently and I could manage easily, feeling my core and arms working without having to think about it. Every day life is just easier when you’re stronger - thanks Frank!

Justin Lloyd Great gym and amazing coaching

Shane Wallden Krazd Fit is awesome. Ive lost all the 25kgs that I wanted to lose in the first year and kept it off by consistent work with the team. Great personal & motivational trainers.
