Where Locals Work Out: Best [16] Gyms and Fitness Centers in Ascot Vale, VIC

kibret Messalea ​I’ve been a member at Ascot Vale Leisure Centre for nearly five years. On the positive side, its a wonderful place to catch up with friends, and I’ve always enjoyed the sauna facilities, which are spacious with two rooms. The 8 PM closing time on Sundays is also a major convenience. ​However, there are some significant downsides. The centre closes for maintenance very frequently, and Ive found it extremely difficult to get a response from customer service. My biggest disappointment was when I cancelled my subscription; after five years of loyalty, they charged me a two-week fee, which I felt was an unfair policy.

Bolortungalag Ganbold We’ve been having a wonderful experience so far with instructor Kayhan. He is fun, passionate, and patient instructor who makes every class enjoyable and engaging. Highly recommend this swim school for little learners!

: D What an awesome gym. I felt at home from the moment I started training. Lots of equipment. They have everything. Lots of space. No weaving and side-stepping around machines. Excellent facilities. Great staff. Even the crowd DJ played great music. Well done team. This has to be the best Snap Ive ever been to.... and Ive been to lots.

Madeline Globan Welcoming gym with clean equipment. I’d been nervous to join a gym - but Snap Ascot Vale has been so friendly! The gym has everything you need and is a great environment.

Daniela Abril L. I’ve been really enjoying Upstate Studios. The classes are always good, the instructors are friendly, and the energy in the studio makes it easy to stay motivated. I always leave feeling great. The team has also been super helpful whenever I’ve had questions. Definitely recommend it if you’re looking for a place to stay consistent with your workouts.

Georgia Herdman Love Upstate! The classes and instructors are incredible, and the membership options are such great value. I also love being able to mix things up with all the different class types they offer. Definitely recommend.

Petra Hansby Core Plus Ascot Vale is very best, I’ve tried multiple Pilates studios in the area but nothing beats this one! Bridie & Ward are so warm and welcoming and it truly feels like one big family. My classes with Greta are my favourite! Thank you to the team for such a beautiful ongoing experience x

Anastasia Mavronas I have been coming to CorePlus for a very long time now. Bridie and the team are very accommodating. This studio is very clean and all the staff are very friendly, I highly recommend coming here. I have even got my daughters coming here because I love it that much

Katie Hester Brent, Reece & Caz have created such a great community gym! So welcoming, catering to all levels and abilities. The energy is high even at 6am classes, and I love their focus on functional fitness. Their support of community groups & organisations is also amazing, and I love seeing how many members have been there since day 1 - a testament to the culture of Paramount.

Tyler Mulholland The ‘Mount’ was such an amazing find. The facility is great, as are the trainers and its members. It was the first gym I trialled in the local area after returning to Melbourne and I didn’t need to try anything else. A common sentiment noting some have been here for 20+ years and travel across Melbourne for classes. I’ve been here for a bit over 12 months now and am loving it. The gym has everything you need as does the weekly program of classes to build strength, general fitness, endurance and mobility. The trainers (Brent, Reece and Caz) are all legends; safely motivating everyone to their limits and keeping us accountable in a positive way. They have routinely helped me back from injury and beyond. There are different memberships to cater for everyone and at all levels (fitness and financial). The flexibility and affordability is simply a bonus given the quality of the gym and team behind it. Paramount really lives up to its moto of Real People, Real Results and an Unreal Culture!

Danielle Bryant I have been a member at Lime for about a month now. Super convenient location for me, easy to access from street or car park, really clean, weight plates are unloaded from machines making them easy and ready to use. The gym floor is free from leftover equipment so people pack up their own stuff. There is plenty of choice regarding equipment with plenty of space to train the way I want to. Friendly people and Thomas (club manager) has been super helpful. Happy I made the switch.

Grace Carew I have been attending Club Lime Ascot Vale for almost 18 months and found the gym to be friendly and easy to access. There is never a shortage of equipment or wait times to use any of the machines or weights with the two levels well laid out. More recently there has been a massive improvement with the level of cleanliness,and the staff are extremely friendly and always willing to assist. The price point and facility tick all boxes for me. Also a big shout out to Tom and Marc who are super friendly and helpful!

Lucy Crawford Highly recommend. Very professional. I saw Naomi, she talked me through my diagnosis and muscle release, explaining how I probably got the injury in the first place and how I can avoid it in the future. She made the whole process very easy and stress free.

Natashia Radford I had an outstanding experience with Emily at In Stride Health Clinic. She was exceptionally attentive, knowledgeable, and caring throughout my physio treatment. Emily took the time to thoroughly understand my specific issues and clearly explained each step of my treatment plan, which made me feel completely at ease. Her practical advice and personalized exercises have significantly improved my recovery and overall well-being. The clinic itself was welcoming and professional, creating a positive atmosphere for healing. I highly recommend Emily and the team at In Stride Health Clinic to anyone seeking quality physiotherapy care.

Melanie Lobb I joined LTYB two months ago and have seen a great transformation! I’ve lost weight , become stronger and feel amazing . The trainers are supportive , encouraging and make every session enjoyable . Highly recommend LTYB !

Nicole A I’ve been a member of LTYB Ascot Vale since Feb this year. I have been so impressed with quality of care, the flexibility and volume of classes that are offered every day. I don’t enjoy exercise normally but I’m loving this place. The workouts are quick and effective I notice progress quickly and this all came down to the personalised plan I receive every day that I show up. The members are all very welcoming and I’m running my own race and feeling amazing. I would highly recommend LTYB they have helped me overcome long term injuries to get me back in shape. Marco Monteiro is fantastic the staff there Mary, Liam and Deane are great always watching and correcting technique to keep me feeling great and without injury. Give it a try you won’t regret it

Arthur Steph Armstrong We (my husband and I both go) have been going to Fitstop for over a year now and love it. There is a fantastic community and the trainers are all knowledgeable and super friendly. Working full time means that some days, being able to come to the gym and have the sessions programmed for you means I can get so much more out of them. Rather than wasting time staring aimlessly around the gym wondering what to do next, each session is well designed to progress your fitness. There is plenty of variety and the schedule suits ours! Thankyou so much to the team - keep dping what you do! X Steph

Anita Musca Ive been hitting up Fitstop Ascot Vale for a few months now, and the results have been awesome, both in how strong I am and how I look. I LOVE the community and the trainers, especially Coach Megan and the 5:45 am crew – theyre always killing it! Im so in love that I signed up for another six months, and Ill probably stay even longer..

Mya Vo My sons love going to their gymnastic classes here. The space is spacious, bright and colourful, very kid friendly. Class timetable offers a wide variety to choose from. Online booking system is user-friendly. Staff are friendly and helpful. Most coaches are enthusiastic and work well with children. I like the coaches who actually perform the actions at the start of each station. A few coaches only talk with minimal demonstration, which is a bit hard to follow. All in all, an excellent gymnastics for children.

Xuan Wang How is this (your makeup policy) fair for consumer? Silent from the reception staff. I filed a complaint to their management. Got a call back from someone called Dan. He did not ask if I can speak, or who is he from the company, asked me to explain what happen and then tell me that his staff felt distressed and felt I was rude and when I asked the above question. Later on any email correspondence also have very delayed and poor customer service manner. Sure you can keep a waitlist for other parents and kids to sign your current unfair, unclear and misleading terms and practices. Then I finally understand the reputation twisters gym has in the community. I would discourage anyone from joining when this companys name is mentioned.

Shalini Pehrinparaj I have been training with Steph for 8 months so far and she’s the best PT I’ve had. She is knowledgeable and able to cater the session to suit your goals and abilities. She motivates and pushes but is mindful of any injuries or concerns. She is a very genuine person who makes exercise fun!

Samantha Coates If you have been thinking of starting or returning to fitness absolutely jump in and do so with Steph. Training with Steph is the right balance of being coached to do more than you thought you could , but also not going so hard that you hurt yourself or want to give up. Steph has a good eye and can see when you can do more or you need to step back a little. Brilliant.

Atif Koshyar Absolutely love this boxing gym! The trainers are professional, friendly, and really push you to do your best. Great atmosphere, top-quality equipment, and a supportive community that keeps you motivated. Highly recommend for anyone looking to get fit, learn boxing, or just challenge themselves!

Christina Trinh The idea of joining a boxing class/gym class has always been intimidating for me but the trainers at Hooked have always made an effort to go that extra mile to make it welcoming for all people no matter what experience/level we come in with. I especially appreciate how knowledgeable the trainers are and how the classes hit the right spot between challenging and fun. Thanks to all the coaches who have been nothing but patient and encouraging in my boxing journey!!

Jared T Ive been working with Tammy and Sebastien for the past 2 months, and its the best decision Ive made! Their knowledge, expertise, and approach to your well-being are second to none. The progress Ive made with them after my injuries has been incredible—Im starting to do things I never thought Id be able to do again. Along with their invaluable skill set, theyre also super friendly, engaging, and motivating. I couldnt recommend Tammy, Sebastien, and the Longevity crew highly enough.

Jannine Barnes I can’t recommend Longevity enough! I have been working with Tammy for several months now and she has been incredibly supportive and motivating as I work through some health challenges and try to become more active. Her positive attitude, deep knowledge, and genuine care make a huge difference. Tammy really takes the time to understand what I need and always encourages me in a way that feels empowering. I always leave our sessions feeling better. If you are looking for a great EP then Tammy is the one.

Clarisse Sangana Such a lovely place. In MEL for only few weeks and found this place on google. Great, spacious, clean studio. Instructor BECK was absolutely accommodating, attentive and very friendly. Her class was almost full and I can see how she connected with her students, paying attention to each one of them. Music was upbeat and not blasting. Would def recommend this studio and her as an instructor. One of my MEL highlight ! Thank you.

Alex Mariotto Have been attending Beginner classes regularly on Wednesdays through ClassPass. The instructor Jewel is always energetic, kind and every week is different exercises which keeps it fun. The facilities are always well maintained and clean and the studio is great.

Mirianthi Giftakis Walked in and couldn’t believe the quality of the equipment in this gym. Will definitely sign up and bring my friends.

Haylee Great new space!! Clean amenities, friendly staff and welcoming environment. Definitely give it a go!

Luciana Veloso A few months ago, I started taking classes with Laís and i just have to share my amazing experience! I’ve been doing pole for 3 years and have had great teachers, but we all know how hard it can be to get individual attention in a big class. With Laís, it’s completely different. She has years of experience, used to compete in Brazil, and owns a studio there. The classes are super personalised (just one or two people max!) and tailored exactly to what you need — flexibility, acrobatics, static or spin pole — whether you’re a complete beginner or looking to level up specific moves. I’ve seen so much progress in such a short time with things I never thought I’d be able to do! If you’re after a class that’s really focused on you, I couldn’t recommend her more!

Ingrid Fernandes Lais is by far the best pole instructor I have ever had! She is patient, kind, and very positive. Every time I have a private class with her, I learn something that I thought I would never be able to do. Shes amazing, and I highly recommend her.
