Tarneit Lakes Circuit Outdoor Gym - Tarneit (VIC)

Siobhan Dang I’ve been to many BFT studios, and Hawthorn is definitely one of my favourites. The trainers here aren’t just there to cheer you on (though they do that too!). They take a genuinely scientific and thoughtful approach to both training and nutrition. It’s so refreshing to see, especially when a lot of gyms can feel like they’re focused on membership sales rather than an individual’s health. Sam and Jakey are methodical, passionate, and realistic, particularly when it comes to the 8 Week Challenge. Their approach makes the process feel manageable rather than overwhelming, and I feel supported as I make changes toward a healthier lifestyle. There’s also never a shortage of trainers here and even when the classes are full, the ratio of trainers to people in the class is maintained which is exactly what you want. Thanks guys and keep it up!

Elissa Epstein Gelbarts Gym is an inclusive personal training studio I have had the privilege of attending for around 10 years. I have always found their trainers to be informed and up to date with their knowledge. The gym provides a fantastic environment where you can train with like minded people to achieve your personal fitness goals. Every age and stage of fitness is catered for in a caring and supportive environment.

Charkway Teow Great gym with solid equipment and an efficient layout. The staff here are super friendly and helpful too. For the price, it’s incredibly efficient and offers everything you need for a consistent training routine. Highly recommend if you’re after a no-fuss, well-run gym in the Waterloo/zetland neighborhood.

Ryan Jackson I absolutely love this gym! The equipment is top-notch, the space is clean, and the vibe is incredibly motivating. Emily B is a special shoutout – she’s an incredible CSR who always goes above and beyond to help everyone achieve their goals. Her energy, knowledge, and encouragement make every workout so much better. If you’re looking for a gym where the team genuinely cares and pushes you to be your best, this is the place!

Geoff Leach Great 25m pool, and kids pool. Love hate relationship with swimming. Did it when injured and couldnt run, and when doing triathlons. 1500m. On a clear sunny but not hot day water clear as crystal and can see from one end of the pool to the other. Inviting. Hot days though, busy and water start to make me imagine, broth :) Its not of course. Under pressure now with all the extra people. And I hear difficulty getting staff.
