Zest Total Fitness - Narre Warren South (VIC)

Hudda Rudda Just just about everything associated with sports and Physiotherapy... fine-tuning your body is catered for at Pursue Health, even massage. Paul and the crew have been really incredible with my recovery from my large posterior extrusion spinal damage to my L4 and L5 touching on the S1 nerve which caused sciatica, numbness and loss of muscle movement to my left leg and foot. Paul’s no waffle approach is great, straightforward, plain speak and supportive and at no time do you feel like you’re being taken for a lend - that happens so often in less ethical practices, stringing you along forever. The service is a comprehensive detailed physio work on my injury that leads to one-on-one training in the on-site gym if you’d like to have support during your recovery. It was not insisted upon, only suggested if I struggle to do my own recovery they can help and it was really affordable - far more so than I had imagined. I have private health cover which helped and made it a no-brainer. I mean it’s hard to knock back a 30 minute personal training session specifically designed to aid my recovery for an out-of-pocket that’s under $20 bucks let’s face it! Incredible. Tash has been great in the gym, strength conditioning, without pushing me too far, but still stretching me to get results. Sally in massage has been incredible, It’s fair to say however if you just want a tickle and relax head to the local shopping centre, but for real massage that does you good and feels great, she’s amazeballs and so knows her stuff. It’s really an all in one physio destination, is how I would put it, with a sports physio focus. I don’t think I’ve ever heard a physio or chiropractor say “look I don’t think I need to see you for awhile, your doing well on your own, maybe in a month let’s check-in”. “Of course you’re welcome to visit with me more if you want and can afford it, but I don’t think regular set weekly appointments are required presently”. How refreshing is that so hear, it’s almost unheard of. These guys are great and the real deal. I couldn’t recommend this team more highly

Mahadi Hasan We left Melton Wave in 2019 because of issues with mis-management and poor service. However, under new management, everything has significantly improved. The swim teachers are of high quality, the pool maintenance is excellent, and customer service has also seen remarkable improvements. Give it another chance—you might be pleasantly surprised!

Sara Miller After having some time away from exercising after having 2 children I was in desperate need of something for myself. I feel so lucky to have found Jess at Vikara. I honestly feel like she has changed my life! Jess is so much more than a pt. She has given me so much support and guidance to achieve my goals and become the best version of myself. Vikara is more than just a gym, there is a beautiful community feel, the environment is so welcoming and comfortable and the level of care that Jess gives to every person that comes through is phenomenal! I couldnt recommend Vikara enough!

Jennifer Liepin Wow. This place is buzzing on a weekday morning. I got there around 6:30 and the weight room was packed. There’s enough room for you to rotate onto different equipment, but if a little bit more packed than I’m accustomed to. Mixed demographic of all ages. Friendly front desk. Lovely that there’s an indoor pool. I’m glad to have taken advantage of the one day trial. Plenty of three hour parking right outside.

Stephanie Spence BFT Freshwater is a great place to train. There’s a good variety of classes throughout the week, a good group of people and all round vibe. An array of class times makes it easy to fit into your day. Coaches are knowledgeable and friendly. I always feel like I’ve had a good workout and have noticed my fitness and strength improve considerably. There are regular challenges which give you the ability to test yourself and track progress. If you’re looking for a gym with an inclusive, encouraging and fun vibe with a great community, then definitely check BFT Freshwater out!
