The Australian Strength Performance Centre - Brunswick East (VIC)

5 /5 E Parr: I moved to Melbourne recently and ASP instantly made me feel like I was at home. As a powerlifter, gyms with good equipment can be hard to find, but there is everything I need (and more) at ASP. The environment is great and the staff are so welcoming and lovely. I would recommend to anyone who is coming to Melbourne.

4 /5 Ilia Slobodchikov: Had good experience trying it out. Everyone is friendly and welcoming. However, it is not for me, chose another gym nearby for the following reasons: 1. Its expensive compared to usual prices in the neighbourhood even on a contract. 2. The gym packs certain features e.g. a machine for doing flys / rowing machine (important for me personally). 3. There are no weights near the free weight area and its a bit of a hassle to bring them to do deadlifts and then bring them back. Also, not enough weights on the leg press rack. 4. There are not enough mirrors to look at your technique when performing exercises. 5. No climate control. I understand the space is large but still, cant imagine working out during heatwaves in summer. 6. Not enough bench presses, which is an issue almost everywhere nowadays. There is one standard and one quirky one but they get busy. 7. There is a selection of dumbbells with wide grip but not enough ones with standard grip. I have wrist problems and using the wide grip ones is a bit of an issue for me. 8. Limited opening times, many gyms these days are 24/7 which works better for me.

5 /5 Kirsty Gover: I love this place - great people, great vibes, always upbeat. Having a great experience with personal training. Femur bone density up 5% after a year of strength training! Not bad for a middle-aged novice.

5 /5 Amalia Buckerfield: This is a new gym so the trainers have a nice vibe and energy. I did one class here through class pass and it was decent. Close to Lygon street trams (it is in the old temple street location).

5 /5 Tom Montfroy: Ive trained at a lot of gyms around Australia now, and I can honestly say without a shadow of doubt that training at ASP has been one of my favourite places to train. They have built such an inviting community open to any level of fitness. The trainers all take a vested interest in your health and wellbeing and take time to get to know you on a personal level so they can assist you in smashing your goals. Amazing gym run by even more amazing people.
