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

salina lee where do i start? this place is amazing, it was my first time and the place was gorgeous. i went with my bsf and we had so much fun for pools i rate it 5 stars. they were so clean and the perfect temperature for a hot day and a cold day. the slide is so fun, im 5’8 and i could still go down it, the water guns we’re fun too, me and my bsf kept shooting each other. now for cleanness not so good. there was random clothes outside and inside, some wrist bands and stains etc. i’d rate cleanness a 3.5 stars. over all 5 stars

Darren L Its below average Id say. I mostly use the gym and occasionally the pool. Not sure Ill keep the membership long term. Firstly, this place is not a good option if gym is your priority. It is quite small with limited equipment, and during busy times the wait for certain equipment is long. They have all these cardio machines that not many people use. It would be better if they got rid of some of these unused machines and replaced it with more gym equipment. The change rooms often get manky. Something that happens everywhere I guess, but the hygiene of some of the toilets are a test of endurance during busy occasions. Third issue is with the lockers in the change rooms. The amount that have faulty locks and dont work is ridiculous. The matter has been brought to their attention before, but it seems to me they dont give a .... and no Im not wasting my time sending an email to some generic address only for it to be ignored with no reply when you already know its an issue. Instead Ill let the public here know that its a problem.

The Mog Champ The Mog Champ sends his regards. First time visiting as a casual boulderer, staff are friendly and so are the guests. Its a great workout for those forearms so expect to the sore in the coming days after visiting especially if you only boulder casually or as a first-timer! Had a good time with friends. Thanks Northside. Mogliest Regards, Your Mog Champ

Aqtp Friendly staff, chill co-climbers, great atmosphere. The wall doesn’t change as much as I thought, but could be because of competition they have at this moment. I’m still very satisfied with options and developing my bouldering skills here. 5/5

Maria Coco I had a very positive experience . I went to Brunswick clinic and my osteopath was Brendan. He was very professional and knew quickly and effectively how to treat my condition. I am hopeful that my neck issues will finally be properly treated. I have another appointment soon for further treatment. Overall can highly recommend. Maria Coco

Louise Absalom I had a fantastic appointment with Lilly Winters. She was extremely thorough, taking the time to understand my injuries and guiding me through exercises tailored to aid my recovery. Her expertise and attention to detail have given me confidence in my journey back to fitness. Highly recommend!

natalie Matti This gym has been in poor shape for as long as I have been coming here. Sometimes havnt returned for months and condition is still the same. Rusty ventilation, rusty equipment, lack of care and hygiene. The standard regulations that you need to run and gym is defiantly not met here.

Mr Fx The employees Arion and Lola are truely amazing. I had an incident while working out and those 2 worked so well to help me out and took great care of me.

Conor McCutcheon Ive been to Reload a few times for physio and a few times for remedial massage. I have a prolapsed vertebrae in my neck which contributes to alot of back pain, I went to Mia for a remedial massage and she worked wonders. She listened to me when telling her where it hurts and how it hurts and knew where to work on that would help ease my pain. I will definitely be back

Nigel Sutherland The physiotherapy practice offers a warm and welcoming environment from the moment you walk in. I received a thorough assessment with a clear explanation of my injury and a well-structured initial treatment plan. Special thanks to Physio Rachel for her professionalism, care, and excellent guidance throughout the session.

Johana Burgos The gym is good overall. As feedback regarding a staff member at the Brunswick location, I believe that offering a free personal training session at the beginning suggests that clients are free to decide whether or not to continue with the service. However, it seems that the staff member took it personally when I chose not to proceed with the personal training sessions and has since ignored me, including basic greetings. I believe it would be more appropriate not to offer services they are not prepared to handle professionally. This leaves me with the impression that clients are treated well only as long as there is a potential sale involved.

pierre Well maintained gym with great amenities. As my first time going to the gym, the staff was extremely helpful and friendly, helping me when I felt unsure about using the machines or recommending solutions whe. It really helped the inertia of getting familiar with the gym and being confident in my routine. Thanks, Nesto!

Drew Rodman I had been coming here for 4 months now with my boyfriend, and really love it. The staff are always so lovely and friendly, they have efficiently helped out when needed. The gym is very well stocked and is kept in tip top shape. The other gym goers are a great bunch too, it’s a very queer friendly gym and we’ve always felt very comfortable.

Marko Jeremia Kalalo A very strategic place in brunswick. Walking distance to restaurants, train station, tram station, commbank, and every other places you’d like to visit before after tbh. Facility is good, a couple of toilets and showers. Equipments are quite varied, one each tho, but rarely have to wait for very long as there are also other types of machines targeting same muscle group. Staff are really friendly and helpful.

Tamara Im in Melbourne right now and a bit sad. I went to a yoga studio to practice. Yoga studios are generally welcoming places back home. Summer healing yoga in Brunswick was awful. They said in order for me to go to a class with my registered assistance dog, I need to send an email to them, and their board of trustees would consider the request. Also, they only allow assistance dogs to accompany people on memberships, but I paid for a two week trial. Their reason was because there might be dog hair left behind, which they would need to vacuum. The picture below is a dog sitting in the waiting room, and he is a pet belonging to one of the teachers. I said their requirements arent reasonable, and that the law says i have to be able to go in with my assistance dog. Then i got threatened by an angry man over the phone who said he would arrest me if he caught me near the building. I paid $50 for a class that i was forebidden to attend. Also, i left my yoga mat behind and now i cant get it. Anyone know of a friendly yoga studio in melbourne?

Paula I cannot recommend this yoga and healing studio highly enough. If I could give it 10 stars, I would! From the moment you walk in, the energy is warm, grounding, and deeply calming. The space itself is serene, and inviting. Every room is designed to make you feel supported and at peace. The instructors are not only highly skilled but incredibly intuitive and compassionate. Each class feels thoughtfully guided, with a perfect balance of physical movement, breathwork, and mindfulness. Whether youre a beginner or an experienced yogi, you will feel seen, welcomed, and encouraged to connect with your body and spirit on a deeper level. The healing breath work sessions offered here are truly next level. The practitioners bring a wealth of experience and care to their work. The self defence classes are incredible! I always leave feeling lighter, clearer, and profoundly renewed. This studio is more than just a place to practice yoga. It is a sanctuary for healing, growth, and self-discovery. Thank you for creating such an empowering space. I’m so grateful to be part of the Summer Healing community.

Jawad Ali I’ve been training at this gym for five months now, and I’m really happy with the experience. The staff are friendly and the environment is welcoming. Even when I first joined as a complete beginner, I never felt out of place or judged. People here are supportive, and if I ever did something wrong or needed help, there was always someone willing to assist.

Angus Johnson One of the best gyms I’ve been too with an great environment, great equipment and super friendly staff. Would definitely recommend.

Chetan Bhasin BFT Brunswick is more than a regular gym. Ive been a member of this studio for almost four years, and I cant imagine being anywhere else. The studio itself is top-notch, and the trainers are simply amazing. They create a very welcoming environment for new members and a fantastic community for long term members. Head coach Davey and all other trainers are friendly, incredibly motivating, and always happy to lend a hand when it comes to tips on nutrition and training. The classes are also well resourced, so you dont feel as if the trainers are spread too thinly and there’s plenty of floor space for everyone to work out comfortably without feeling overcrowded. Highly recommended !

Anthea Goh I LOVE BFT BRUNSWICK!! I was sceptical about gym before (scared and shy) but the trainers made the classes so fun and exciting. Every session is new for me and they keep making me want to continue going! Been here for 6 weeks and I can see changes in my physical & mental health. I never been to gym before and the trainers are very supportive. They are always beside me and show me patiently when some of the workout are hard for newbie like me. They will continuously encourage me when I was talking myself out of it :)) I love the support from other team members too. My favourite is CARDIO :) Thank you BFT!!

Juliana Frazer Urban Athletic has been a fabulous personalised gym. It is open very long hours, almost 24/7 with card entry. The manager, Enzo is there at peak times and more, always ready to answer questions, including specialised suggestions for best exercises following injuries. His guidance is thorough. They have great classes and specialised boxing classes. Also, considering the extensive opening hours, this is value for money. I highly recommend this gym.

Pham Linh Great gym, very clean and spacious. I really like the welcoming atmosphere here and everyone is nice and polite. The place is well maintained, trust that management team put a lot of effort to create such a great place for exercising. Many functional training gears can be found: steel mace, sled, rope climb, power bags, wall balls, TRX,… UA is a gem in Brunswick! Another highlight is the membership options, very reasonable prices for gym and group classes. Highly recommend!

Christine fan I love this gym! The people are lovely, my trainer goes above and beyond to help guide and encourage me. Everyone helps you pick up the routine at your pace, which makes me feel comfortable. Love my boxing at this gym and I can’t stop talking about my experience to everyone.

J Bones I’ve never boxed before but I’d always been curious and finally at age 41 I’ve decided to give it a crack. I’ve been training privately with Adam for a few months now and I’m stuck in — he’s a great coach and always pushes me just that one step further than I thought I could go. As a woman in a mostly male gym, I’ve never felt any different or uncomfortable in any way. There’s no egos or d’heads. Just a lot of shared passion for an incredibly addictive sport. They work with people at every age and every level of experience. I can’t say enough good things about this gym and the crew who run it. Props to Steven for building a great gym with a great team.

Tee Mckenzie From the first class I was hooked. Hi-Brid has built my knowledge, confidence and strength through its class format and attentive, knowledgeable trainers. There is a strong community energy here. I feel such a sense of belonging as someone who often feels out of place at a gym. It is a very sensory friendly space with low lighting and no smells!! because the high altitude controls the air. The little high you get when you leave the gym and all the oxygen comes rushing back to your brain is just an added bonus.

ellie dobson This gym has it all! Its a great vibe as soon as you get through the doors with super friendly trainers. Workouts are never the same and they keep them really fresh and also challenging. The recovery area is also a great add on and very clean.

Lou Anderson I don’t usually leave reviews but pop gymnastik is bloody awesome. So fun and a solid work out. Love Jessie, she’s amazing. Keep it up! Can’t wait to watch this grow!!

katherine stacey I cant explain how happy this class makes me on so many levels! If Im feeling crap and exhausted (which is often tbh) a class with Jessie will change my entire day for the better. Ive also met some amazing humans in the Pop Gymnastik community, which is so diverse that everyone is welcome! So if you think this class isnt for you, youre wrong! Just give it a go, whats the worst that can happen?!

Meredith Prime I started at CrossFit Moreland last year and I wish it was 20 years ago! One of the best decisions I have made in relation to improving my strength and overall functional fitness. Everyone is so supportive and makes it an enjoyable experience! I get smashed most classes but love it - thanks to the coaches who are always positive.

Matt Howley CrossFit Moreland has had really positive impact on my quality of life. Ive used both physio and Crossfit classes on a journey that started with fundamental rehab and then into strength training. The team and clientele are a wonderful group of people to be around.

Sarah Coleman I regret signing up at this location. The upkeep is extremely poor, equipment and facilities are neglected and the cleanliness just isn’t there. Even after a short time, the lack of maintenance is obvious. What’s worse is the atmosphere: Ive witnessed many men sit around behind the cardio machines just watching women exercise, which makes the environment feel uncomfortable and unsafe. I’ve also noticed mould on the roof and walls, and have felt its started to affect me while training here. It’s disappointing

Amaris B Dont sign up to this gym. The facilities are pretty standard but the service is terrible. I moved to a new area and tried to cancel but their team is completely unresponsive and untimely, leading me to pay hundreds of dollars in membership fees extra despite trying to cancel the membership for WEEKS. Very frustrating.
