Where Locals Work Out: Best [7] Gyms and Fitness Centers in Parkville, VIC

Throwaway1 Loved this place until yesterday, and I hate having to write this, but I feel the need to complain about it. Im writing as a throwaway account because I dont want this humiliating experience linked to my name, as someone who works at the university. What started as a minor issue quickly turned into one of the most degrading experiences I’ve ever had. My clothes were locked inside a faulty locker; not uncommon. Usually, a staff member comes quickly to help with a 30-second fix. But not this time. I was left stranded in my bathers for over 20 minutes. I asked the pool lifeguard to radio the front desk about my clothes. No response for 10 minutes. Freezing and wet, I had no choice but to walk out to the reception - basically naked - just to ask again. The receptionist told me to “be patient” because he was helping new customers. No urgency, no empathy. It took him 20 minutes to finally show up. And then like always, it took just seconds to open the locker. It was so quick, I couldnt even get his name because he seemed to be in a rush. How ironic. That means no apology, no recognition of what just happened. I used to really enjoy going to this place, but after what happened yesterday, I dont feel like ever attending again. If you are planning on using the services here, be aware that if something time-sensitive or vulnerable happens, you might be left out in the cold like me, literally.

Ella Fullerman Not well maintained. The leg machine has looked like this for several months. Huge HUGE health code violation, genuinely festering with bacteria. This is only one of the many machines that is worn down and rusted. No-one wipes their equipment either, wouldnt be surprised if ringworm or staph made the rounds at this gym. Otherwise, the gym and the staff that work there are excellent and the selection of machines is great. Management needs sort our their priorities - this is disgusting.

ryan c Ive only had good experiences and workouts at The Gym! I started out as a complete beginner and had a free first consult to see which plans would suit me and what my goals were so they could support me. Other than private and semi private trainings, they also offer classes in the mornings and afternoons. 24 hour access is also a bonus as I tend to be a night owl. The trainers Ger, Mitch and Lonnie have all been super friendly and supportive and Im always looking forward to my next session with them. :)

Janeth M. Mendoza The Gym Melbourne is a great place to work out. The facilities are in excellent condition, clean and the staff is extremely helpful. I have had the chance to take PT classes with Jer, Mia and Mitch. I enjoyed the training sessions with each one and felt very comfortable and satisfied with the workouts provided. The last few months, I have been training with Mitch and it is always a fun time, he helps a lot to improve my form, and gives great tips. Highly recommend this gym!

Cody Dent been going here for 4 months, the gym has okay equipment some machines broken the whole year. Often see roaches especially in the bathroom. Overpriced and crowded

Ritu Devi Its a good size gym, group sessions are fun as the people are very friendly. I would recommend Beaurepaire Centre Fit to anyone who needs a place to start or a change in their potato-like shape. Best place to become fat to fit!!!

Lucy Bracey EFM Parkville is a great gym. With super friendly trainers and clients, I have fun every time I go to the gym - definitely a first! Every day there are different programs to choose from and the trainers will customize any and all to suit your needs. This is the perfect gym if you like working out with friendly faces.

Mehdi Nadji Tehrani Best gym Ive ever been to. Friendly environment and amazingly nice trainers make you want to take as many sessions as possible. So basically its not just good for body. Maybe not as equipped as some other gyms, yet good enough to meet the needs of one who wants to exercise to stay fit and healthy. May be a bit more expensive than a few other gyms, but having not been to many other ones, still I prefer EFM health club considering all the positive points I have found in it.

Miha Černe Best outdoor gym for professional athletes. Has everything you need to train your muscle!
