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

Trevor Childs Ive purchased several strength equipment items from WFA over the years, and theyve consistently delivered on quality. Most recently, I picked up the Body Iron Commercial Weight Storage Rack—its extremely well built and solid. Definitely worth paying a bit more for something that lasts. Highly recommend WFA.

adele geddes Great service, were too happy to accommodate my change of mind and upgrade to a different all in one gym station, even covered the extra in shipping. Arrived within the week. Definitely recommend :) thanks team WFA.

Christian Klopfer Excellent range of classes. Just turn up on time to be guaranteed a place. The building is old but does the job just fine and cleanliness is good. Service is very good too, when staffed.

Jeremy OConnell Have been trying to cancel my membership, called multiple times but cant get hold of anyone, submitted a contact us form and Im still being charged for my membership. UPDATE: Contacted via the form below and still no response. Do not join this gym.

Jordan Shulman I joined AF about 3 months ago and have loved every minute of it. I started coaching with Theo (fortisfitness)not long after and have seen a huge difference in such a small time with fitness and health! I have started with Ella as-well now focusing on lower body and core and couldn’t recommend her more she’s incredibly friendly and easy to learn off and has great recipe ideas. The new manager is also elite…. Funny guy and easy to get along with. Can’t wait to keep training

Chris Aga Fahey I’ve been coming here for a few months and have always felt such a welcoming vibe from the staff here. Ella and Theo are fantastic trainers and you can tell have so much passion for what they do and a genuine care for their clients and members. I’ve also noticed in the last few weeks a huge effort by the gym to make the floor area incredibly clean and tidy. Makes this gym such an easy one to attend at any time of day / night !

Nadiya Salim Handy place only 5 min walk from home. Smaller than all my previous gyms I’ve been a member of but has all the equipment I need! The staff are so lovely. It’s always very clean and tidy. Other members are so lovely too. It’s nice seeing a variety of clients. Very glad my partner and I decided to join here!

Sharon Shaw Ive been a member here for 3 years and I highly recommend Rec Xpress. The facilities have a great range of free weights and pin loaded machines as well as a variety of cardio equipment. The gym is always very clean and the staff are super friendly and helpful.

Clint Collins BFT Cheltenham is a great place to get fit and meet new people. I joined nearly 6 years ago not having done any type of CrossFit / indoor workout routine. BFT Cheltenham has great, informed enthusiastic trainers that help you set and meet you health targets, keeping you accountable but making the workouts enjoyable and interesting.

Meghna Dasgupta Really enjoying my BFT experience so far. I’ve been with the Cheltenham studio for about 3 months now - such a great community of trainers & members. I usually do the 6am classes - love the energy & vibe of the classes! Room full of like-minded members who are there to work hard, great music, and trainers who are always there to guide & correct your technique. Really motivates me to get there and give it my best!!!

Vitalii Lukianchuk I had a great experience with Physio Plus. Matthew was incredibly consultative, efficient, and identified areas for improvement that I wasn’t even aware of. As someone who is active in sports, I’ve found his recommendations extremely helpful, and I’m looking forward to continuing my work with Physio Plus. Highly recommended — excellent service.

Tanuja Jayram I worked with Melissa to treat my runner’s knee, and her assessment and recommendations made a remarkable difference. After seeing many other physiotherapists with little improvement, Melissa’s empathetic approach and ability to tailor an exercise plan around my busy schedule truly stood out. She accurately identified which muscles needed strengthening and explained every step clearly, which gave me the confidence to stay consistent. I’m genuinely amazed by the progress I’ve made and highly recommend her to anyone seeking lasting results.

Doggy Big Excellent facility. Excellent staff. Have classes for all levels. Love the presence of the Thai trainers feels like a home away from home. Great family run gym. Jake is an absolute legend and he will set you on the right path for where ever it is you want to go on your Mauy Thai journey.

Adam Rama 1 is easily the best Muay Thai gym in Melbourne. Some gyms lose the tradition or westernise it too much, but Rama 1 keeps it real and authentic. The trainers know their stuff, they push you hard but make it fun, and the vibe in the gym is like family. Whether you’re brand new or looking to fight, this is the place.

Dayna Elizabeth Awesome gym! Great size, not so big that you get overwhelmed by machines, the machines are always in working order. Super clean and tidy, and quiet during the day so there’s no need to wait around for equipment. All the staff are lovely and friendly, and the manager James is awesome, always up for a chat! Really makes you feel like you’re more than just another face through the door. 11/10 recommend would go back again

verboten Been coming to this gym for over a year. Josh who looks after the gym has been meticulous in keeping it spotless and well maintained. After returning from a trip from Sydney and visiting its Pitt St counterpart. Gym culture in Southland and Mentone was more healthier than its Sydney counterpart. That said this is my go to place when the mentone counterpart becomes a crowded house. Sure its a tad bit smaller but with lesser amount of people it feels like a small private universe. Thanks and keep up the good work team. Update 20/04/25 The culture with this gym is consistent with its Mentone counterpart. Staff are extremely dedicated in maintaining the quality and cleanliness of the gym. Latter pic attached portrays Josh the gym manager despite being injured being meticulous in cleaning the gym during off peak times. Update 21/4/25 I have said it in multiple reviews but as a gym..the manager or front desk is essential in setting the culture of the gym. Very impressed to see Drew behind the counter yesterday with excellent customer service skills engaging each enquiry and our members. Along with Josh, and Morgan ... Drew is an imperative asset to the Revo brand Update 3/12/25 I was thrilled James has taken over as club manager at this gym. Consistent with his immaculate standard of cleanliness I took this candid shot of him cleaning the mirrors during the quiet moments at the gym. Great work James

Alex Rodriguez Sandringham Family Leisure Centre has everything to keep you fit and healthy in a quiet bush setting. Highlights at present are the Goodlife Health Club/Gym and the King Club Cafe where Kim can prepare a delicious treat after your workout. I recommend the schnitzel and bacon roll heated up, yum!

M Starr APPALLING change rooms , dirty, flaking paint and mould everywhere, unhygienic carpet walk from pool area ( which is almost ok) to the worst toilet and change rooms I have ever seen. The people of Bayside are being ripped off- I’ve never, ever seen a worse presented pool area. Disgraceful. The other reviews must be from people who are happy with the lowest of standards. Astounding.

Laura Russell When a gym has an average membership of over 5 years you know it’s doing something right. The Fit Shop is different to any other gym. You will find a safe welcoming space with excellent trainers, equipment and members. You’ll always get a smile and a high 5 while pushing yourself. With bootcamp, personal training, Pilates and events to step outside of your comfort zone the Fit Shop really is a gym that will move you no matter your age or fitness levels. Cone along and make moving more with friends part of your routine.

Kirsten Friend A gym for everyone. Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been in the gym zone for a while, there is a program or class to suit you and your needs. The trainers are professional and experienced and will help you get the most out of your visits. I personally get a lot out of private PT but there are also boot camp style training opportunities for those wanting the group motivation environment. And of course the fit shop community is second to none! Give it a go today ❤️

Claire Emanuel Highly recommend Inner Strength Bayside! Excellent team with expert physio’s and wonderful, helpful staff. With 1:1 sessions along with the clinical lead Pilates classes my back and hip issues are being extremely well cared for!

Chas H EDIT: regarding the response that they dont sell multi pass, they do for reformer and my physio had me doing her recommendations in the reformer classes. They are supposed to oversee the reformer process. As mine left and no one could see me and I had to start my whole process with a new physio I requested a refund which was given. This review was not written in error. My physio didnt tell me she was leaving and had given her notice. Instead, she let me pay for a multi-visit pass and began a complex treatment plan with me of one-to-one and reformer. Then I got an email that shed been planning to leave for a couple of months and had now departed. The other physios were too busy. Getting an appointment was hard. I ended up getting a refund for the remaining sessions. The studio really didnt care. I was in a lot of pain and had to start again finding a new physio. The way I was treated with such little regard showed me that all the words about caring for their clients health outcomes was just... words.

carla fode Great Authentic Muay Thai Gym! Everyone is very welcoming, the atmosphere is amazing. You can tell a lot of love and effort has been poured in to make it a special community for anyone who walks through the door. Would definitely recommend!!

Gerry C Like many of the other reviews, this is a great place for beginners up! Its extremely clean and well setup. The trainers are fantastic and skilled and bring an authentic Muay Thai to this. I kinda feel like its a second family for me and there is complete respect and humbleness in all people here. Started with my son going and I eventually joined to get a few cardio sessions in-between normal gym workouts. This has now completely reversed where i now train more often here and slip the occasional gym session in at home! My cardio has massively increased, I have changed my health routine and stretch often. Really love this place and all the team there.

Davide Tomassoni I’ve been coming to Pick it up fitness for about a month now, and I’m keen to share my experience - they certainly deserve a shout out! Firstly, I’ve started noticing early results - spanning beyond just getting stronger and increasing lean muscle mass. I’ve noticed I’ve started to enjoy working out again- after stagnating for years in low cost, low accountability gyms. They have fresh workouts every week and push you without compromising form. They check-in regularly, and can modify workouts/exercises to account for any concerns or existing injuries. Secondly, when you join PIUF, you truly join a community. The friendly trainers all know you by name, and have built a safe and supportive environment for everyone to thrive! This is clearly reflected in the positive energy and the bonds we form with our working-out team! Lastly, but certainly not least is the flexibility around workouts. This refers to both the timing of classes, which can accommodate varied working hours (including night shifts), as well as the option for a more HIIT/cardio workout or more strength based training in each session, as well as a weekly running club. Definitely worth a look and/or a trial - Michael, Kath and the team are awesome, and very accomodating! Cheers guys!

Andrew Delfinis I’ve been training with Pick it Up Fitness for a few months now. Have really enjoyed the classes, the people and the coaches. The coaches have also been able to modify exercises to cater for some pre existing niggles/injuries. I also opted for some 1:1 coaching with Coach Michael. We have weekly check in and Coach Michaels explanations have been really easy to follow. He has been very understanding/supportive! So far, I’ve lost 5kg of fat in 9 weeks through training and diet. Looking forward to continuing this journey!

Arthur Drosas Luis is the real deal! Very knowledgeable in what he does and has really made me up my game. Great atmosphere, really makes you want to push hard. Highly recommend this place for anyone interested in boxing or muay thai!

Nick Irving I couldn’t speak highly enough of Fit Impact. I’ve been here since I was 14—now 25 and it has been amazing the entire time. Luis’ boxing knowledge is second to none, and the family vibe he’s created is something you feel the moment you walk through the door. Whether you’re looking to compete, get fit, or just find a place where you feel supported and welcome, this is the spot!

Sam G I’ve never felt so encouraged and supported to do formal gym classes or regular exercise outside of daily walking - Matt and his team have transformed my well-being and fitness levels, so much so I cannot believe I am so keen to get up and go to group classes almost everyday. My child and my dog are both welcome, which helps me with my work/life balance AND we love the resident pups too. Thanks for bringing a sense of belonging and well-being Great Shape Bayside team ❤️

Aoife McCann Great classes and instructors. Very inclusive and understanding of your goals. The team have worked hard to tailor to my needs and helped me through pre-existing injuries- very experienced and friendly team. I have tried many other gyms and classes in the past and for the first I have achieved my goals and continue to improve.

Panagiotis Karamalis Amazing place. Has everything you need and beyond. Friendly staff Really really good value for money Doesn’t get any cheaper Doesn’t get any better 24/7 Seriously best investment you can do for your wellbeing

Kitsune All the basic equipment you need but is lacking in several other areas. No sanitizer or paper towels to wipe down equipment before/after use, drink fridge is empty with no plans for them to refill it (but there is a water fountain), lots of dust and dirt under the equipment feet. Wouldnt want to train here during extreme heat or cold as the roller door just makes it the same temp as outside. The free trial is helpful to see if this gym is a good fit for you, not sure how busy it gets during peak times- during the day on a weekday there wasnt many people so didnt have to wait for machines
