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

Sayali Sawant Both the unisex and female-only sections are well equipped. The huge size of the facility makes it less chaotic when multiple people are using it. The staff are good and the washrooms and bath areas are clean. There is also a well-functioning sauna. Overall, I am very happy with my investment.

Nazanin R The best gym in Mount Waverley and near by suburbs. Great selection of machines and equipment. They have all the equipments that you need. Some said that the toilets are not clean. It is difficult to clean the bathroom after each person. Part of it is on the clients to take care of and part of it is the gym staff responsibility. The staff cannot follow everyone to the bathroom to make sure that they don’t make a mess and clean that up after them. Members are also responsible to keep the bathroom clean. I’ve added photos that show you how people leave their trash in the gym.

Obie Hui Been at this gym a year now. AF MW is not just ran by nice staff, it is filled with friendly members as well. Equipment and space is well maintained. Carpark right next to the gym in never full and ample space to move around inside the gym during rush hour. 10/10 recommend as commercial gyms can’t get much better.

Mandy Train Visited with a friend over the weekend, staff were extremely welcoming and helped me out using some equipment I haven’t tried before! The natural light and spacious layout makes this gym feel like a very comfortable place to train at.

Dean Hescroff Such an awesome gym. The owner is so genuine and the space is filled out with such unique pieces of equipment. I’d be proud as if this was my club! If you train hard and take lifting seriously defs the best place to come!

Catherine Kitching This is the best gym in Melbourne by far. This gym has a really strong community and culture, the equipment is impeccable and each piece is the best of the best. The environment is incredibly welcoming, and everyone is there to work hard. This gym has changed the trajectory of my training journey and is truly the best, would recommend to anyone anyday. Husla Gym, you are a vibe, thankyou for such a special community and place

helen douros I’ve been absolutely loving my Pilates classes at Leap Pilates Studio. With only up to four people in each session, the classes feel really personalized, and Liv, our instructor, makes sure everyone gets individual attention. Liv has such a warm, positive energy — she’s genuinely made exercising fun again. Every class feels engaging, supportive, and tailored to what we need. I always leave feeling stronger, motivated, and looking forward to the next session. If you’re looking for a fun, small-group Pilates class with an instructor who truly cares, I couldn’t recommend Liv and Leap Pilates Studio more highly!

Purni Mathi Daniel is very good and knowledgeable. I visited him for a second opinion- since 10 sitting with another physio didnot work for me. He listened to all my issues and was able to find the root cause within 2 sittings. His exercise plan is effective. Also, It is amazing to have reformers pilates at the clinic. Liv makes sure that the recovery is smooth while attending reformer classes. They also have group training to support different needs. They are a very friendly and caring team. Thank you and good luck!

Megan Rogers Skylark is amazing sporting venue catering for kids of all skill levels. They have super encouraging coaches and provide an array of classes. My daughter has been attending for many years and loves going to her squad classes. Her skills and confidence have grown in so many areas of her life. During lockdown, they have kept in touch with all their squad kids and have run zoom training and sent out home training sessions for the whole family to keep. They have donated many of these services to those who could not afford them and are all about the kids not about the business. Could not recommend more highly!

Jacqui Gibbons Our daughter thrives at Skylark. She looks forward to her kindergym classes every week! The instructor is amazing, gives clear, concise and age appropriate instructions, is so knowledgeable and helpful and caters for all abilities. Every class is so much fun for our energetic and social 2 year old. Thank you!

Damien Lane As a swimmer it is very comforting having somewhere you know you can rely on for any physio needs! I’ve been seeing Gary for years and Jim aswell, whether it’s rehab exercises for an injury, treatment or general loosen ups before competing. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Tania Kapetanovic I started seeing Evan for a Hamstring injury 7 weeks out from running the Melbourne Marathon. When I hobbled into the clinic I didn’t believe I would complete the Marathon. Thanks to Evan’s extensive knowledge on running, training and particularly running injuries he got me back on track. The rehab was very realistic and Evan was always supportive and encouraging! Thank you Evan I couldn’t have done it without you ❤️

Laura Liu Just had an amazing workout at this gym! The equipment is top-notch—always clean and well-maintained, with plenty of options for every routine. The trainers are super knowledgeable and friendly, always happy to offer tips. The vibe is motivating, not intimidating, whether you’re a pro or just starting. Plus, the locker rooms are spotless. Hands down the best gym in the area—highly recommend!

carina wang This gym is amazing! Clean facilities, modern equipment, and friendly staff. Great atmosphere for both beginners and experienced lifters. Highly recommend!

Hitesh Kukadiya Tom is competent trainer, highly recommend if you are looking for sports related training. Within few weeks I have seen great change in my 15 year old boy.

Lucy Lee Poor customer service and inflexible refund policy Our son attended only one session of the school holiday program before injuring his previously fractured toe and being unable to continue. We notified ACE Performance immediately. Despite three emails and three phone calls over several weeks, we received no response until we mentioned escalating to Consumer Affairs. Even then, they refused a refund despite our son attending just one session and us relocating interstate (making a credit unusable). The lack of communication was extremely frustrating, we were left chasing them repeatedly while receiving marketing emails asking us to review their service. We understand policies exist, but the complete lack of responsiveness and unwillingness to show any flexibility for a genuine injury after one session shows poor customer service. We expected better, especially when dealing with childrens programs. We cannot recommend ACE Performance based on our experience with their administrative handling and customer care.

Stacey This studio offers a warm and welcoming environment, perfect for beginners. I was nervous before my very first class, but my anxieties quickly disappeared thanks to the supportive atmosphere. Avelyn and Sara were wonderful, warm, intentional, and gave clear, direct instructions that made everything easy to follow. Im so glad that Ive found this place!

Robyn Allen Just finished week 1 at Reformer Factory in Mount Waverley. As someone who is completely new to Pilates I have found the studio helpful, welcoming and incredibly kind to those of us who are just starting out. The excercises are tailored to help you achieve whatever is most comfortable for you, always with an opportunity to extend and the instructors have been clear and helpful in explaining the machine so you don’t feel overwhelmed. I would highly recommend this studio and can’t wait to continue my Pilates / Yoga journey and build my strength.

TOBY Cai Matt and Allen are definitely the stars of this gym! They are incredibly professional, approachable, and always go above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome. Their expertise and dedication create an encouraging atmosphere that makes every workout enjoyable. Highly recommend!

CONIE KANG I broke my ankle 3 months ago and my physio recommended PT Allen to help me with my rehab. It was one of the best decisions I’ve made. Allen has been rly patient and professional and he really helped me got back to walking and running again.

Miss Mi I would highly recommend this personal trainer. She was professional and highly skilled in her knowledge and expertise. Her instructions were easy to follow and she was able to tailor a fitness program to fit in with my time and that was catered to my needs. I was able to see results quickly and I am thrilled with my fitness journey with Victoria.

Navindi Dissanayaka I recommend Victoria, the owner, who is knowledgeable, supportive and dedicated towards her clients fitness goals. I observed her plans are highly practical to improve personal fitness of who she provides her service to.

Dianne Louey Ive been going to Fit My Soul for over 10 years. The trainers are knowledgeable, motivating, and supportive in helping me to reach my fitness goals. The boot camp sessions are challenging but fun, and the PT sessions are personalised to my ability. Trainers ensure that Im using proper form and making progress. The atmosphere is positive and encouraging, making it easy to stay consistent which key to getting fit.

Sarah Jane Such a Special Place! Fit My Soul is hands-down the best gym experience I’ve ever had. It’s a beautiful, welcoming studio with an amazing vibe—and the trainers are next level. They truly care about you, support your goals, and make every workout feel empowering. You’re not just a member here, you’re part of a community. Love this place!

Anna Speranza I am so happy to see improvement in my flexibility, pain reduction and sleep! Lindy works with me each week , tailoring the program to my needs. I am so glad to report, less fatigue, more energy and much better sleep :)

Tim Minturn With lockdown, I was so afraid I miss out on the classes I looked forward to every week, but with Lindys Zoom classes, i feel i have never left the studio! Im still getting personalised tuition and adjustments and it keeps the lockdown blues at bay!
