The Boat House Gym - Rye (VIC)

1 /5 Eden Bates: I was hesitant to post this as a small business owner myself I sympathise with the difficulties in running one however…. I was working for an undefined amount of time down the peninsula so I signed up and was assured by the owner I could “cancel anytime”. Therefore when the time came to cancel my membership I thanked the team and tried to do exactly that but to my surprise I was told for the first time I needed to give 4 weeks notice! After offering 2 weeks payment and putting it down to a misunderstanding I was pursued for the full four weeks and hundreds of dollars in “late fees” and threatened to have “debt collectors” set upon me. As far as the experience of the gym itself goes, I believe they are having disputes with their neighbours over noise levels, throughout your workout therefore you a constantly “shushed” as if in a library. Needless to say left with a very sour taste in my mouth after what felt like a straight up money grab. Users beware and read the fine print.

4 /5 Jessica: Despite the small size of this gym it’s well equipped with the equipment you’d need for your workout. Taking Olympic barbells + plates from inside to the outside area was a tad risky/safety when it’s busy and you have to re-enter your passcode to the door every single time but there isn’t another option as the indoor space can’t accommodate with the tight space. Super clean facilities, highly recommended.
