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

Brigitte McGregor The Yacht club is always a safe choice especially for a bigger group. So easy to book online, great service. Orders can either be placed at counter or waiter can take the order. Works really well for everyone to pay their own share. Menu seems to have been updated since we were last there and some great choices offered. Will definitely be back soon to try some of the other options. Food comes out quickly too. Very happy with our experience at RBYC!

Kevin Ma It should be said that the dishes looked very delicate. But the portion size was not for adults. Maybe because of the beautiful seaside, peoples attention was not on the food. The beef fibers were very coarse and it was not from a good part. The sauce had no flavor and was not made with care, as if it was directly squeezed from a supermarket bottle. The seafood noodles looked and tasted okay, but the portion was like a dessert. In short, we wont come again.

Jan Kirsch Bruce Gilmore was extremely professional and knowledgeable. He took time to explain things thoroughly. The office staff were also excellent.

Frank Pasutto I can’t speak highly enough of my experience at Brighton Spinal Clinic. From the moment I arrived, I felt completely at ease. Dr. Lynette Kiers is truly exceptional — her beautiful bedside manner and warm, calming presence immediately made me feel comfortable and cared for. She took the time to listen attentively, explain everything clearly, and was incredibly thorough in her assessment. I never felt rushed, and I really appreciated how she tailored the approach specifically to my needs.

Earney Olivia (Liv) Such a great studio! They have a wide range of class times and types, with early morning to late in the day, seven days a week. All of the instructors are very friendly and keen to help. There are heaps of lockers and also showers and change rooms. I’ve always been able to find the dumbbells I need for the mat classes, which isn’t always the case at other studios. The intro offers are a great way to try out the studio and classes without locking in! If you’re going to a hot class for the first time, make sure to pick a mat closer to the door

Constance Appelman Kaz and most of the team are great. However (Shannon B) was unnecessarily and extremely rude when I arrived one minute over the class time (parking is often impossible even within Coles car park, particularly caught out due to grand final day) and whilst I understand their ‘Community commitment’ this staff member made it difficult to even do a later class, being so militant in trying to prove a point.

Leonie Karagiannis Warrior One Yoga is truly a sanctuary. From the moment you walk in, the space feels calm, uplifting, and welcoming. Every instructor brings such intention and authenticity to their classes, whether it’s a slow flow or a strong vinyasa, you leave feeling grounded, centred, and reconnected. The community vibe is beautiful, and the studio is always spotless and serene. Couldn’t recommend it more!

Hayley Sparshott So glad to finally be a member of this studio! Ive watched from the side lines and now living in the area, this is my new local. The experience is incredible, as are the teachers. Really interesting practitioners, who run really fun/dynamic classes. The space is inviting and offer a wide range of classes for all levels. I cant wait to continue my yoga journey here.

Kye Goldstein Best gym in Melbourne. Huge layout, great range of quality equipment and awesome team. Highly recommend.

Adrian Merrick I really enjoy going to this gym. The equipment is great and the crowd is diverse. Some reviews say its full of gym junkies taking selfies. I disagree - there are some like that, like all gyms, but the crowd is diverse in terms of age, gender and ability. Its often quite busy but without being overly full, which is a good balance if the energy of others helps motivate you. The pumping music is exactly the right tone and TBH its better when its louder. People who want to listen to their own thing can still do so. Personally I often listen to an audiobook or podcast so I can get both gym music and content at the same time. The only things Id recommend changing would be to somehow try to keep the spin music shielded from the rest of the gym (hard without a ceiling on the spin room I know) as it can mean you hear a bit of two different songs at once. And the fishing shows on the TVs kill me, mainly because I hate myself for actually watching them. Overall a highly recommended gym and beats the others Ive tried in the local area hands down (eg First Fitness on Nepean Highway which looks like it was last updated in 1988).

Melita Nick Sharp is very funny and fun to work out with. His upbeat personality and high energy helps make the training sessions very enjoyable. Nicks gym is relatively small but clean and organised with lots of light and a lovely vibe. Its a friendly space with a community spirit and people working impressively hard. Recommend.

fiona clark Nick is the most knowledgeable and wonderful trainer. Fantastic motivator and fun sense of humour. Best decision I made to invest in my health and fitness in a a supportive and well organised studio. Highly recommended.

Rochi Pamamull I like the positive guidance and encouragement of the BFT Brighton crew. The variety of exercises and the positive energy from each session has fueled my enthusiasm of my weight loss journey with BFT Brighton. Recommend to everyone.

Tania Thompson Ive been a member at the BFT Brighton studio since it opened 3 years ago, and honestly, I cant give it enough PRAISE! Training here has completely re-energised me - turning my middle-aged, tiring body and mind into a stronger, more motivated and energetic version of myself! Each workout is brilliantly designed (love the heart-rate PXI-goal based system!), and pushes me just beyond my OWN limits. My "life-fitness" has improved so much - Ive got more energy, real strength, and its made a huge difference both at work (as a PE teacher) and keeping up with my family. The Coaches are next-level. Des, Sez, Dan, Bella & April & Gabby all give 100%+ every single session. They fine-tune technique, check in personally, and share valuable injury-prevention advice that keeps me safe, strong and consistent. The BFT Brighton community is the cherry-on-top! Everyone is so warm and welcoming - full of amazing, friendly, non-judgemental people. I’ve made some gorgeous new friends who now motivate me even more to bounce out of bed for those 6:15am classes! Highly recommend BFT Brighton for life-fitness goals!

Jeni Wallwork I am a part time member at Brighton Baths Health Club whenever I visit Melbourne. I’ve made great friends and adore the outdoor classes on the deck with the water lapping below and the sun on your body. Swims, paddle boarding, steam room and ice baths have been fun too, and always a coffee and snack afterwards in the cafe. Brilliant!

Jacob Swierc I had a fantastic experience at Brighton Baths Gym today, and I want to highlight the exceptional service provided by Millie. She truly went above and beyond to ensure I was comfortable and informed throughout my visit. Her communication was clear, friendly, and professional. She asked thoughtful questions ,attention to detail and genuine care she showed made a real difference. Top class service—thank you, Millie! Highly recommend Brighton Baths Gym for anyone looking for a supportive and welcoming environment.

Adam Kahlberg Yash and the team have been amazing at every step of the way of my knee rehabilitation. His insights, support, calm and focused approach has provided me with confidence as I try and reach my goals.

Gary Gabriel Having been diagnosed with Hip Osteoarthritis 6 years ago now and seeing many different specialists/ hip surgeons one strongly advocated to strengthen my muscles around my hip and core. Having now attended Movewells physiotherapy led rehab sessions 1-2 times a week for more than 2 years, I have noticed significant benefits with my function and movement, and have far less pain. I definitely feel it when I am not consistent with my exercises at home and in the clinic. I highly recommend Movewell for any rehab work - each and every therapist is fantastic! Thank you

Meekee Dee have to say, I am blown away by Kieser and their incredible team! Every time I go to the gym, it is such an enjoyable experience. The facilities are always clean and well-maintained, which is so important to me when it comes to working out. But what truly sets Kieser apart is their fantastic team. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and always goes above and beyond to provide the best possible service. They make me feel welcomed and supported, and I always leave feeling like Ive had a great workout. I cant say enough about the culture at Kieser and how much I appreciate the effort they put into making the strengthening process and the gym a fantastic place to be. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a permanent fix to any issues such as back pain or other injury that is impacting you!

Mina Blass It’s clean and safe . Staff are friendly but find that it’s probably more suited to people wanting to increase fitness and strength that don’t have issues with chronic pain and inflammation. It’s a case of 1 step forward 2 steps back for me !! I’m committed to giving it a go for a year and hope that things turn around for the better and I can feel less pain in my day to day activities . I’ll definitely update after 12 months .

Charli Dempsey I cant recommend Dr. Simone and Brighton wellness group enough! The clinic is clean, modern, and the staff are always friendly and professional. Dr. Simone is incredibly knowledgeable and takes the time to cater her approach to your needs and preferences. Her adjustments have significantly improved my neck and lower back pain as well as my overall well-being. She is one of a kind and I cannot recommend her more if you’re in need of a Chiropractor! X

Steve Castledine My family and I have been regular patients of Scott Maginness for 10 years and have always received amazing treatment and advice from Scott and his team - whether its Chiro, Myotherapy, or injury recovery and pain management Scott and his team of healthcare professionals have helped us achieve and maintain optimal levels of physical wellbeing. And theyre fantastic people too!

Anna Sewell F45 Brighton is an excellent studio to improve your fitness. I been going to their classes for 2 weeks now and theyre varied and challenging and you leave feeling like youve really worked hard! The trainers are all lovely and helpful (Mike, Kostas, Tasha) and they push you to make sure youre doing your best in every session! Couldnt recommend this place enough.

Niketa Archer Did a trial here and I cant say enough good things about it! The workouts are intense, varied, and challenging. The trainers are knowledgeable, motivating, and genuinely care about your progress and form. Every class feels like a community, and the energy is always high. Ive seen amazing improvements in my fitness levels, and the supportive environment keeps me coming back. Will be signing up for an ongoing membership here :)

Helen Beasley I attend Sage for exercise physiology twice a week. It has been the catalyst attributing to positive change for my health and well-being. All of the staff are extremely experienced, supportive, pleasant, welcoming, engaging and enthusiastic. I highly recommend this clinic.

Keith Francis Wonderful staff, a small but well equipped room and a friendly atmosphere all combine to turn the SAGE experience into a most positive exercise program.

Tennille Liebig Issy and the team are wonderful and made me feel comfortable and welcome from the moment I walked in. Issy was always there to answer any questions I had and she was incredibly supportive. Everyone is lovely and supportive. The class sizes are small and I like that I can achieve so much in the short amount of time.

Kurt Gibkcid Excellent way to get a good workout in 20 minutes. It feels like I’ve been at the gym for four days after one session. Isabella is excellent, she is a great trainer and makes all the difference I’ve been to other EMS studios and they can’t compare to this one.

Duncan Pittard The best gym I’ve ever been a part of… small group training at its finest and just what I was looking for at my age, not having trained a a gym for decades. Kari, Ryan and the team are experts and find the right balance between pushing and supporting you. Very happy to be a part of the MVMT team!

Alexis Edmunds I’ve been training at The MVMT for years and I wouldn’t go anywhere else. It’s so much more than a gym — it’s a true community. The training is fully customised to my needs, and my trainer Ryan is fantastic at keeping every session both challenging and fun. Since being introduced to deadlifts and hip thrusts, I’ve seen my strength improve dramatically. If you’re looking for a place that genuinely cares about you and your fitness journey, this is it.

Rithear I being working on my hand with ACTIVE ONE BRIGHTON with Rebecca for about 6 months. Rebecca hand being really help me on my journey to get my hand recovered. All the program that Rebecca being giving me has being relly good and now hand has being improving so much that now I can go back to my work duty much faster than I expected. I would definitely recommend to everyone to use ACTIVE ONE BRIGHTON. Thank again REBECCA for helping me recovered.

kathy paterson I am very grateful for the opportunity that ACTIVE 1 provides. I really missed exercises during the long lockdown. The instructors are patient and supportive and I like the variety of exercises. I am now enjoying the sessions with Patrick, but have appreciate all the other instructors I have had since I joined the classes.
