Where Locals Work Out: Best [15] Gyms and Fitness Centers in Albert Park, VIC

Riley Davis basketball stadium is shocking service, there are not enough seats anywhere, staff were rude, not allowing us to sit anywhere but the few chairs they provide. Refs were terrible and rude, and completely bias in a FINAL game. Asked for a supervisor and no one would come and watch. Just terrible management. Such a nice stadium and they can’t afford good staff or refs? Absolutely shocking. This lady I’ve meet many times and is always so terrible. Fire her please

Jordan I recently joined MSAC and signed up for a membership, and so far my experience has been excellent. The centre offers a wide range of facilities, classes, and different areas to access, making it great value for money. I highly recommend the Coach by Colour cycling class, for all fitness levels. Anna is incredibly motivational and welcoming, especially if you’re new to cycling or just starting your fitness journey. Anna’s class strikes the perfect balance between challenging and fun. My first visit to the gym was a really positive one. Artu completed my initial body scan and program—he’s knowledgeable and thorough, and clearly knows his stuff. Mikaela guided me through my program for the first time; she was professional yet approachable, helping me feel at ease as a newcomer.If you choose the right times, the gym is a pleasure to use—not too crowded, with modern machines that are easy to work with. Overall, almost every staff member I’ve encountered at MSAC has been helpful, supportive, and genuinely invested in looking after members. It’s been a great (re)start to my fitness journey.

Edwin Chong First time playing Pickleball here, Sun 11 to 1pm. Located upstairs on wooden floor. Lines are good; not mixed with many other sports. Clean floors. Be mindful of the low ceiling which limits the lobs. Also no side barriers for stray balls. Well attended, people do mix around. Social wise, its great. 3 stars for the facilities, which can only improve. Lots of paid parking in front.

Hezekiah Stratton Great courts in a perfect location! I always have a great time playing pickleball and the netball and futsal courts are perfect as well. Lovely facility and kind staff who are happy to fill your water bottle for you if needed, would recommend!

Bawi Piang First time doing an ice bath and it was awesome! I visited Nomadic Recovery for my first ice bath and had an amazing experience. Laz was super informative, calm, and really helped me push through to stay in for a few minutes. I felt supported the whole time. It ended up being a fun and surprisingly enjoyable experience. Highly recommend!

Theresa West Incredible experience. It’s hard to find a sauna that feels the same as the true Finnish Sauna experience - but Nomadic has nailed it. The different temperature ice baths are a good touch as well. Was a good way to end a run around Albert Park.

Peta Rose Arjan is one of the best practitioners I’ve ever worked with. He is such a wonderful diagnostic physiotherapist and has helped me with many issues over the years. He is the only person I trust to really help me heal from injuries or issues. He also is very knowledgeable about piriformis syndrome and was a huge part in helping me manange my symptoms. Thank you Arjan for all your help over the years!

Sarah Ridley I had experienced lower back and hip pain and discomfort for some time. After working with Arjan on targeted strength and conditioning training and dedicated physio sessions I am stronger, more agile and no longer have pain or discomfort. My weekly sessions with Arjan are invaluable.

richard paley I spent a few weeks in Melbourne in April of this year. I was fortunate that Yogareal was in the neighbourhood I stayed in. I have practiced yoga for many years, but have rarely been to a studio that offered as whole a practice as Yogareal does. I would leave every class feeling lighter, more open and just "better with the world." The classes are a lovely blend of the physical and more spiritual. The teachers are welcoming and their teaching is warm but precise. So glad I found this place and I know I will return when I next visit Melbourne

Lorence Folino What a great studio and environment to practice breathing and yoga. Robert the instructor was very welcoming and full of knowledge to guide us through the basics. Fully recommend for peace of mind..10/10

Shanae Portelli Ciara is an outstanding osteopath, she is highly knowledgeable, thorough, and compassionate in her approach. She takes the time to understand the issue and provides effective, targeted treatment. I always leave feeling significantly better. Couldn’t recommend her more !

Leonor Ordonez I can’t recommend Ciara enough. I’ve been seeing her for the past few months, and she’s been a game-changer for me. I initially came in with a strained arm, likely caused by repetitive work movements, as well as ongoing neck and lower back pain. After just a few sessions, I’ve noticed a huge improvement in all of these areas. Ciara is incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to fully understand my issues before recommending a treatment plan. She’s not only effective but also takes a holistic approach to care, explaining everything in detail so I always feel confident in the treatment I’m receiving. The clinic itself is also fantastic, friendly staff, great atmosphere, and easy to book appointments. I’ve been to a few different osteopaths over the years, but none have given me the relief and results that I’ve experienced here.

Suzanne Walker We moved to the area a few months into my first pregnancy. I wasnt sure how to move my body safely, or how best to stay healthy and active. Andrew was great, he got me feeling stronger and we maintained a regular training regime up until my last workout (at a week overdue!) He always devised programs that felt challenging and energising, rather than training to exhaustion. Unfortunately we moved again when my daughter was born but Ill always be grateful to Urban Workout (and Andrew specifically) for supporting me during such an important physical transition.

Raelene Hunt I find the Urban Workout experience to be fantastic. It’s small group personal training, with everyone working at their own pace. The trainers are great instructors but also friendly and supportive, and they are very knowledgeable when it comes to rehabilitation exercises. Finally, Urban Workout is a fun and social place to get fit.

Sophalline Meas Gorgeous studio with experienced instructors. I’m quite self conscious but always feel really comfortable when I’m at Harmony. One on one is great for those who may be a little self conscious like myself otherwise the group classes are small groups of 6. Great friendly community with an intimate feel.

Kate Glynne Absolutely stunning studio space. With access to lots of equipment, the class is so varied and interesting and a small class size meant everyone got the corrections and personalized support they needed. Love it! Will be back!

Jo B The biggest of the Melbourne-area parkruns. Well organised, flat course around the lake.

Tara Beattie Lovey parkrun! Huge numbers but really well organised.

Sarah Taylor I have trained at Phoenix Fitness for many years now and would highly recommend them. Tom is brilliant at tailoring exercise programs to the need of his clients whilst still making the sessions fun. I am so pleased at how my fitness has improved and the cm have dropped off

Lisa Deramond I’ve been training with Tom for two years and my strength and overall fitness have dramatically improved. The training is convenient and just the right amount of time so it’s easy to commit to. Tom is good at adapting to different age and fitness levels. I think it’s his experience which enables him to give you the best workout for your age and fitness. It’s easy to stick to and my daughter has been coming to and finds she can stick to it. I would definitely recommend him.

Lesley Gilbey This company is very poor at answering calls. It would be nice to talk to a human when you phone them.

Clive Pedersen Asked some questions about a comp on the gold coast as we are travelling over from NZ - no reply in 1 week. Not difficult questions. Seems they are as poor as Gymnastics NZ.

Mk W I’ve had a number of trainers over the past 15 years and none has been as knowledgeable or reliable as Zach. As a time poor professional I need to optimise my efforts at the gym and Zach knows hows to maximise our time together and utilise the MSAC facility for the best results. I have never been stronger. I thank Zach for his patience and for always being fully present in our sessions.

Greg Hocking Training with Zach for six years says it all. His encouragement and constant motivation has kept my training goals on track. Professional and knowledgeable Zach makes every session worthwhile. I am pleased to recommend Zach as your personal trainer. His easy going nature and engaging personality is a bonus.
