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

Mariana Fuhrer What an amazing experience we had with Arie yesterday at Aquanation Ringwood! I went with a friend who has Parkinson’s and needed information. Arie was sooo patient and helpful!! We felt there was no pressure at all. Thank you very much Arie! My friend can now weigh up what will work for her. I myself have ‘found’ a new place to go to! (All the staff we met were lovely too!) Keep up the good work and great atmosphere⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Mariana

Hollie Heyenga If I could give the learn to swim program zero stars I would. If your child has challenging behaviors this is not the swim school for them. The instructors here are not equipped to deal with these types of children. If your child is afraid to get in the water this is not the swim school for them. Water safety day was an absolute joke, the young girl ( I dont know her name but she had the face of a horse if that helps) that took the water safety class did not bother to learn any of the childrens names. Each child was only allowed to do each of the activities once and if it was not done to her liking the children were just told "if you are not going to do what I ask then you can get out of the pool" She also failed to notice that one child was terrified and was in tears. Water safety day was just a bunch of kids sitting on the side of the pool cold and frustrated that they were unable to swim. The grading process for the 2 weeks swimming program organised through schools is a complete joke. Kids who are accomplished swimmers that do lessons outside of their own school swimming program are placed in levels lower than their actual abilities. my sons frog kick technique had to be corrected by his swim school as the instructors at Aquanation taught him the wrong technique. I have no idea why schools choose to do a swimming program through them as it is a complete waste of money . I would not let them teach my dog how to swim.

Elisa McKenzie This was the best party we’ve ever attended! Our host was incredibly attentive and kept everything running smoothly for our five-year-old. There was an abundance of food, and our daughter truly had the best day. I would highly recommend this venue for a fun, stress-free celebration.

Rebekah Jardine I was so happy with the party host. She was helpful, provided support at every turn, got coffees, moved things along for the kids. Brilliant!

maya taylor Great place and an amazing variety of equipment, staff are super good besides this older blonde lady and this darker man of colour with a buzz cut. who were extremely disrespectful both interactions with both me and my family i do not recommend this place if you have a fitness passport since they are so disrespectful towards you and will refuse to let you in, the Blonde older women gave me an apparent “permission slip” which I read over and it was a not permission slip at all it was a blank sheet with empty boxes giving a promotion to the gym. Other then that it’s a good area

Jump Jet Excellent group fitness, aqua, yoga classes and coaching zone. Staff are friendly, nice sense of community, start your fitness journey here and continue at any level. I am a personal trainer and I highly recommend Genesis Ringwood.

Alexander Major Got a tour & casual session for Stronghouse Gym in Ringwood, if you’re interested in getting stronger & want varied workouts then this gym is for you. A lot of different machinery & attachments for all needs. Open 24/7

Numan Salam Stronghouse is a great gym that caters for beginners with no experience you dont need to already be strong to start here and they have all the professional world competition level barbells plates benches stuff you wont see in any other gym

Alisdair Olav Horgen I cannot speak highly enough about the care and professionalism shown by Andrew Erzen. He carefully assessed my shoulder issue and went through what I needed to do before he set exercises for me to follow using the app. I was seen by him last year and I have noticed a considerable improvement in strength and mobility as well as pain reduction due to following the exercise regime Andrew set at that time. The office staff were very friendly and professional. Such a nice atmosphere to encounter when walking in to reception. Thank you.

James Bedford Great experience at Physica so far. High level of care and expertise from Lachlan, taking into account my injury history and recovery goals. The provision of VALD testing and an app with my exercise plan is really motivating and helps me keep on track. The clinic as a whole has a welcoming atmosphere and appointments always seem to be running to time.

horsham horsham Hired a top range elliptical from Prime. Brad rang me back immediately on first contact. We discussed best options, it was delivered when arranged. Brad followed up couple days later to see if any problems or queries, excellent customer service. I recommend Brad and Prime Fitness.

Susan H. Brad was prompt in arranging me to look at bikes and delivered it next day. Bike is lovely and clean and easy to use. Note that need to ring Brad to organise time if you want to view what he has. Not a shop front as such. Very easy process. Thanks Brad.

Thomas For the price, this gym is honestly the worst gym I have ever been to. The key fobs never work, I usually go workout after hours and the fob always declines and I have reminded the staff and they never fix it. The worst part of all is that 95% of the machines are extremely rusted and dangerous to work with due to the fact that they have not been replaced in years. The owners cheap out in not maintaining the equipment, if a payment fails once, guess what, you’re paying $10 extra for any instance, they won’t bother waiving the fee either. The parking is also extremely terrible due to the fact that the gym is located next to 4 different building sights, so if you come in anytime before 5-6pm, you won’t be able to park anywhere. Overall you can’t charge people $25 per week when you’re not taking care of the gym equipment, why pay so much when your gym has no premium to it compared to other private gyms or even cheap franchise gyms, you usually get what you pay for, but not here, here you’re donating to charity with no cause.

Tiki Manu Nice quiet side street location. Plenty of parking. Easy access during staffed hours. Probably has every machine under the sun, plenty of space between machines, modern, clean facility. Also stock supps if you dont have any.

Riley Nikolich Love this gym! Equipments is great, community is the best always able to work in with others even when the gym is busy, so no matter what time you can get your workout in. Staff are also the best, always super friendly Especially Hayley always has positive Energy

Valentino V I love anytime fitness Ringwood!! This gym layout is so perfect the space feels very comfortable and the staff who work here make it the best environment to train in! Will be telling all my friends to sign up here!

thanh tâm trần thị I had so bad experience here before, because of the customer service. But the center still kept my deposit, I had to come back to complete the course. But there was a surprise and gave me a completely different perspective on the centers customer service. I thank Cassidy staff for guiding very enthusiastically, cheerfully and gently. You gave me a different perspective on this center. I feel more sympathy and sharing. It helps me change my mind and will stick with it for a long time. Thank you so much Cassidy. You deserve to be rewarded

Nick Palankay I have all 3 of my kids having lessons here and have done from when they first started. The staff are all very friendly, the teachers are amazing with the kids and the facilities are always clean. It can get quite noisy when busy but you get that at every pool! The kids are always excited to come for their lesson!

N J Worst Customer Service: Dealt with Lil at customer service , by far the worst experience I’ve had. Rude, dismissive, and completely lacking basic customer service skills. No respect, no professionalism, zero attitude for helping customers. I was just trying to get my membership sorted with Billy, but since he has moved out, Lil made the entire process frustrating and unpleasant. Absolutely unacceptable.

Tim Sprigg Venue and machines are Always clean and well maintained, staff are friendly and all have a positive vibe making it such a pleasure to complete a class or workout.

Mitchell Cumming I’ve been coming to Pivot Sports Performance since January’24 and must say it’s the best decision I’ve made as an athlete. I have Cat as my coach and have learnt so much from her, she has helped make me a stronger/ better runner and has helped me grow in confidence within the gym as well as continuing to build towards my running goals. I’ve also been dealing with a foot injury which Jordon and Yianni have been incredibly helpful in working through it and getting me back to running pain free. I couldn’t recommend Pivot Sports Performance Ringwood any higher, incredible gym but even more importantly, better people.

Jake Elliott I’ve been dealing with a pretty decent back issue for over five years, and Pivot Sports in Ringwood has been the first place where I’ve genuinely felt hopeful again. The team consistently shows an incredible amount of care for my wellbeing, and they’ve helped me feel ‘relatively normal’ from time to time, which is something I haven’t been able to say in years. Yianni, the main man running the show, is unreal. It might feel this way for everyone, but I truly feel like he goes the extra mile for me, and I want him to know how much I notice and appreciate that. His team under him are great, supportive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping people get back on track. Some days are hard to get there but once you walk in all the outside noise is gone and you can get to business, which is train / rehab. My day-to-day life has changed massively in a positive way since starting here. For the first time in a long time, I can honestly say I see light at the end of the tunnel. I’m grateful to have Pivot Sports guiding me through it. Highly recommend to anyone dealing with pain or long-term injuries, this place is different. Give it a go !!

Gerard Lim Never felt better. after a health scare, I had a chat with Max and immediately felt at ease to try a few classes and I am hooked. I usually hate gyms but TPH is quite different. Max, Sam and Lauren are amazing, their approach to coaching is personal but also leaves no space for bullshit, just focussed on your goals. it also helps that the community they have built are the friendliest and most welcoming bunch. I have missed a few sessions now being overseas, but I cant wait to be back.

Emma Bato Such a welcoming gym that really emphasizes community and sustainable health goals. I love coming here. I feel encouraged to train hard, and also have fun and be myself. The trainers demonstrate expertise as well as great people skills to make it a positive, effective and enjoyable place to train.

R M I recently completed the 10-week Fascia Reconstruction course (or, Foot Yoga, as I told my friends) at Phoenix Yoga Studios, and I highly recommend it, especially for anyone looking to improve their foot health. This course has been an absolute game-changer for me. Before starting, I was experiencing persistent issues with my feet, but the targeted exercises and deep understanding of fascia presented in this course truly made a difference. Over the ten weeks, I noticed a significant improvement in my foot mobility, stability, and overall comfort. Its incredible how much better my feet feel now! A huge part of this success is thanks to the incredible instructor, Sanjay. His expertise is evident, but what truly sets him apart is his ability to motivate and inspire. He consistently offered clear instructions and, crucially, provided excellent alternatives for exercises, ensuring everyone in the class could participate effectively regardless of their current flexibility or any limitations. His encouragement made even the more challenging movements feel achievable and rewarding. If youre considering a course or class here, particularly the Fascia Reconstruction with Sanjay, dont hesitate. Its an investment in your well-being that truly pays off!

Junjun Luo After 10 years of my yoga journey, I’ve found a solid home here at Phoenix Yoga Studio. Towards the end of my sessions, I often feel grateful to my instructor, Sajay, who is such a wonderful and inspiring leader. He not only guides us to refine our poses but also nurtures the wisdom that grows within us. I truly cannot recommend this place highly enough!

Nelson Wu Thought about starting BJJ for many years before stepping through the Immersion doors. Wish Id started earlier! Awesome, welcoming team. And they do well in competition so you know the coaches arent teaching junk. Glad they have 6am morning classes now and coach Max is excellent.

Abbey E I take my son here for BJJ classes and all of the coaches are so great with the kids and keeping them on track, which is hard given the age young group of the class but they do a really good job and keep it fun and safe. Loved seeing his development over the last 8 months here.

Leena Maller Legacy Health and fitness is a warm and inviting place with a strong community feel and a positive vibe. It is a safe space for all fitness levels and ages. The trainers are v knowledgeable and ensure that I perform the exercises in the correct form to help me gain maximum benefit and remain safe and injury free. I love that they also teach about food, nutrition, portions sizes, healthy recipes and products to perfectly complement my fitness journey. I had never done strength training prior to Legacy but now after joining Legacy I have gained so much confidence in strength training , noticed a marked improvement in my energy levels and health. I feel stronger and happier since now I am learning how to take good care of myself. Legacy Health and fitness is a top notch fitness centre and I would highly recommend it!

Donna Bright I never thought I would be a gym person, but Legacy isnt just a gym, its a community amd a support system. All the trainers are so knowledgeable, kind and approachable. You dont feel like you are being judged. Perfect gym for everyone but particularly middle aged women who just want to get it done without the fan fare. Give them a go, you wont regret it.

Linda Nguyen Love BFT Ringwood! Have been a member for a few months and have really enjoyed working out here. They have a great great team of trainers who really focus on form and technique - they are also super friendly too! Gym is clean, nice and spacious and parking is easy peasy.

Nathan Pollitt I’ve been training at BFT Ringwood for a while now, and I can’t recommend it enough! The coaches are incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and always bring great energy to every session. The workouts are well-structured, challenging, and varied, which keeps things exciting and helps with real progress. The community at BFT Ringwood is also amazing—everyone is friendly, encouraging, and makes working out so much more enjoyable. Whether you’re a beginner or experienced, there’s always a way to push yourself at your own pace. The facilities are clean and well-maintained, and the atmosphere is motivating. If you’re looking for a results-driven, fun, and welcoming gym, BFT Ringwood is the place to be!
