Where Locals Work Out: Best [13] Gyms and Fitness Centers in Doncaster, VIC

Oldouz Shirinzadeh Next Gen Doncaster is a fantastic club with top-tier facilities. The gym is spacious and well-equipped, the pools and spa are clean and well-maintained, and the tennis courts are in great condition. The amenities are very clean and equipped to hairdryer. The overall atmosphere is welcoming, and the staff are friendly and helpful. The cafe is also a nice spot to relax, offering good food and a pleasant setting. However, one small issue we noticed was that our coffee was dripped into a saucepan before being served, which seemed a bit unusual. The person who was surveying it also noticed, but didn’t attempt to fix or apologise for it. It didn’t take away from the overall experience, but it was a bit unexpected. Despite that, Next Gen Doncaster is a great place for fitness and social activities.

Maman Khoshgele I’m really disappointed with the lack of maintenance at Next Gen. The steam room and sauna have been in terrible condition for over a month now, and nothing has been fixed despite multiple complaints. The tiles are broken and coming off the walls, the wood panels in the sauna are damaged, and the overall area looks neglected and unsafe. For a gym that charges premium membership fees, it’s unacceptable that essential facilities like these are left unrepaired for so long. It’s not just about comfort — it’s a clear safety and hygiene issue. The “temporary” cones and warning signs have been there for weeks with no sign of progress. Next Gen really needs to take responsibility and maintain their facilities to the standard they advertise. Right now, it’s far from it.

Arvin Mohtashami I am writing this review based on our very frustrating experience. We initially signed up under the clear understanding that it was for a 3-month membership. We were extremely surprised to find that the membership was automatically renewed after the 3 months ended. In our experience, we did not receive clear prior notification that this would happen, nor did we consent to an extension. We are now also facing unexpected fees related to this. The most difficult part has been trying to resolve this and cancel the membership. We have been asking for a clear cancellation path but have not received a straightforward solution. It honestly feels like we are stuck in a confusing loop just trying to end the service. Based on our experience, I would strongly advise anyone considering this gym to very carefully read and get clarification on the contract terms, especially regarding auto-renewal and cancellation policies. Honestly, given the headache and financial stress weve faced, I would personally recommend avoiding this gym altogether.

Pouria Very disappointing experience with Fitness First. When I signed up, I was promised 4 weeks free as part of a promotion. It’s now been weeks, and despite coming to reception four times, sending multiple emails, and being told the issue would be “resolved soon,” nothing has happened. The staff have shown a lack of professionalism and responsibility — no follow-up, no accountability, just repeated excuses. It’s honestly frustrating dealing with a team that doesn’t take customer concerns seriously. It looks like this gym cannot even deliver on what they promise their customers, which is embarrassing for a brand that calls itself “premium.” I expected far better service and integrity.

Corey James Would not recommend friend to sign up. Gym closed for renovations so I go to box hill then the system automatically transfers you over to box hill then transfers you back again and they up the rate from your original fees due to the “renovation” the gym looks the same just the Lou is updated and moved some equipment around? Poor customer service from sign up date

Jamal Elamsy Extremely Disappointing Experience. Poor Communication & No Support I’m extremely disappointed with the experience I’ve had at this Anytime Fitness Doncaster. My wife recently underwent surgery and could no longer attend the gym, so I reached out multiple times to cancel her membership. Despite following up, no one has responded since 5th August, and no action has been taken since the original request. Rebecca stopped responding entirely, and Josh has not provided any help or resolution. To make things worse, my own membership access was revoked without any notice or explanation. No communication. No support. No accountability. This experience has been incredibly frustrating and unacceptable, especially given we’ve been long term members. If you’re considering joining, be aware that when something goes wrong, you may be ignored.

Milly Graham I joined BFT Doncaster 4 weeks ago and have had the best experience. Not only do I love the structure of BFT in general (the variety of classes, the facilities, the simple booking system, etc) but Doncaster in particular is amazing. Each coach has been super friendly, motivating and helpful. They’ve created an environment where everyone supports each other and it’s actually something to look forward to. I’ve never enjoyed gyms very much until I became a BFT member :-)

Josh Richardson The BFT crew work you hard! Modern facility, seamless integrated technology, heart rate tracking. VERY impressive set up, great culture and a friendly group of people

Ivetta Avramidi Beautiful, modern, clean, spacious studio! The instructor was polite, attentive and experienced. Small complimentary details like a hair-dryer, deodorant and pads impressed about the care of clients in the studio. Clean showers, changing rooms, lockers. Just impressed! Highly recommended!

Stephen Low I was a bit skeptical about bikram yoga will fixed my back pain (after golfing). After doing yoga practice for a while here, I never go back to Physio...

A A No hoards of high school kids, easy sign up, no contracts, excellent price, Matt the owner is a good bloke, locally owned. Do yourself a favour

Soraya Rojas Matt is very professional and highly recommended as PT! The gym has an amazing friendly environment and makes you always feel welcomed. The gym equipment are been constantly renovated, and you will find everything you need in a boutique set up.

Jonathan Ngan This is a fun place to spend time. Nice view with nice pinic and rest areas. The course can be challenging if yiu take it seriously…. You can also enjoy it as a fun activity.

Ilias Panayi Kids had a ball, even i had a go lots.of fun for kids of all ages

Ema A.T Fatima is an amazing personal trainer! I’ve been training with her for two years and have seen great results. She’s professional, supportive, and always brings positive energy. Highly recommend her!

Meysam Kia Dr Fatemeh is friendly, easy going and thorough. She is a solid communicator; she enquired about goals, injuries and pre training assessments highlighted a holistic approach to health - Scientific knowledge and sensory processing- For example, she was able to identify how proprioceptive learning would help my performance - Reassuring, pragmatic and clearly walks the talk- she looks fit and strong and as such this increases confidence in her abilities to lead fitness change .. she comes across as have integrity- she respects your time, is strength based esp. when you could barely do a push up!

Stella M Hands down best training club in Melbourne. Amazing facilities and the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Atmosphere is awesome - highly recommended!

Square Root Amazing community. Great facility. Cant say enough good things about PHIIT CLUB!
