Where Locals Work Out: Best [8] Gyms and Fitness Centers in Kensington, VIC

Vini B For $70m I expected more. It should be a 24/7 gym but for some reason it isn’t (it should be coming but no one knows when). There’s a small gym with limited equipment which makes access difficult when busy (to make it worse they run classes in the gym that take over some equipment further limiting access). The new treadmills are buggy (go into error mode or offline before or during use). The treadmills are situated in front of floor to ceiling windows with no blinds so that you are blinded by the afternoon sun. If you need to talk to a staff member they are seldom available. Forget spin classes ther’s no cycling studio. There’s no sauna or spas. Speakers in the centre repeat a no cellular signal message all day which is quite annoying. The few cycles in the gym have some recorded classes but the videos resolution is so poor you can’t see anything. To top it off the membership is more expensive then the nearby Ascot Vale Leisure Centre that, though older, is far better equipped, has spin studio, has saunas and spa, a larger cafe and keeps open for longer and the staff are always on hand when needed. The Kensington Recreation Centre needs to significantly improve or cut its prices to reflect its more limited service.

Mimi Green Melbourne I was so excited to be a member to the Aquatic Centre. Its only 5 min driving from my area. Very disappointed there is no spa, sauna and stem. Even the pool is very small. It is not inclusive for the ppl who are looking for all community swimming centre.

dean campbell Courtney was patient , thorough and knowledgeable with her work. I’ll definitely be back again and highly recommend anyone to book in an appointment. Thanks

Leanda Chia I’ve had pain in multiple joints on and off for a few years, and decided to give osteopathy a go after not getting the results I wanted with physio. In the space of just a couple of months, through treatment sessions and prescribed exercises at home, James has helped to get me feeling the closest to normal in a long time. I appreciate his explanations of why my body moves / hurts the way it does, this deeper understanding helps me just as much as the physical therapy.

Seonaid Clifton I’ve been at Bond now for over a year now and could not speak more highly of it! The classes are well structured, and seeing our progress over the training blocks is really motivating. The coaches make us feel supported and are proactive in providing advice, adjustments and encouragement. What stands out most about Bond is the wonderful, friendly community that Adam and Tania have developed. I’ve never felt so comfortable and welcome in a gym and it’s a pleasure to walk in every day.

Eva It has been about two years since I joined Bond Performance. My main goal was to get stronger to support my dancing classes and to reduce discomfort related to weaker muscles and poor posture. I’ve achieved that, and so much more. The Bond community is friendly and inviting that not only supported me every step of the way but also motivated and pushed me to strive for more. This supportive environment made it easier to stay consistent. Adam, Tanya and the entire wonderful Bond coach team - thank you for all your guidance and support throughout my fitness journey. Your professionalism, encouragement, and genuine care have made a tremendous impact on the way I approach fitness and how I feel in my daily life! Highly recommend Bond Performance to anyone looking for a transformative fitness experience both for your mental and physical health.

Trent Bassetto Jamie and the team at Renegade are amazing. Super nice and helpful, always up for a chat and has a really solid BJJ program being ran with a lot of support from other higher belts.

Julian Montebello I was on the hunt for a place to train BJJ at, and there were so many places to choose from. I had been recommended to many schools across Melbourne and after a few trials at some, I carefully picked Renegade even though it was a little bit further away for me. But with heaps of classes, a fun and friendly culture, plus the genuine care and dedication shown by Jamie, John and the rest of the instructors makes Renegade a fantastic place to call home.

Verica Jokic I can’t believe I’ve found a gym that I like. Motus is amazing. It has small strength and conditioning classes where everyone follows their own program under supervision from terrific instructors. Everyone is friendly and down to earth. The class choices include mat and reformer Pilates, yoga, stretching, as well as the terrific strength training. Because the classes are small, everyone gets plenty of attention and help to ensure we are exercising correctly. This is not a show-offs or a poser’s gym but a very welcoming place committed to good health outcomes for people of all ages.

Kat Smith After recovering from an injury, my experience at Motus has been outstanding. The team’s expertise and support have helped me return to the gym feeling stronger, more mobile, and genuinely motivated. Their friendly and knowledgeable staff create a positive environment that builds both physical strength and confidence. Highly recommend Motus to anyone committed to improving their health and performance.

Pip Maloney One of the best fitness and lifestyle experiences ive had! Emily cares greatly for all her clients and members. Having a dedicated program and constant guidance has helped me immensely in my strength journey. I feel stronger, fitter and way more confident since starting with Everyday Strength. Thank you Em!!! Highly recommend for anyone - no matter where they are in the world of strength. I had zero experience, i now cant imagine going to the gym and not including weights in my workouts.

Claudia Quintela Amazing gym. Emily was one of the only personal trainers that has given me realistic goals and always encouraging. Never felt pushed to do anything I didnt feel comfortable with. Im always joining gyms and dropping out, but this place I went consistently and enjoyed every minute of it.

Amy Applekät Had an amazing session after a long hiatus from exercise due to injury. Unfortunately I have to give up my usual weightlifting for lower impact exercise, and my reformer class with Karen was the perfect introduction to Pilates; she is intuitive and gentle but great at communicating and breaking down the moves to a newbie. Great taste in music too! I’m now no longer dreading my transition away from my usual routine and into Pilates, and am really looking forward to coming back!

Amanda P-B Awesome pilates studio. So easy to get to and a great space to work out in. Love Rochelle and her playlist so much!!!

A R I’ve been seeing Alannagh on and off for years now and if you want results , she’s the one for you! Her knowledge and support are second to none, but my results speak for themselves always !!!! Highly recommend.
