Has been fully renovated and is better than ever. Great quality equipment, variety of classes in abundance throughout days and evenings with personal trainers everywhere. Clean, no idiots, I love this gym. Pool area has windows so the sun gets in! This is a good quality gym with excellent facilities including spa and steam room. Members are sociable I have made great friendships at this club! Highly recommend.

Under new management! Excellent facilities. Great staff and it has a pool as well. Very clean and spacious! Love the place

Very friendly staff and great facilities. I've been going here for about a year now and have had nothing but great experiences so far.

We are seeking legal advice. IT'S NOT YOUR JOB TO POLICE MASKS & QR scanning. Trainers do what you do best! Train members. IT'S NOT YOUR JOB TO POLICE QR CODES AND MASKS. my daughter was chased through the gym and Harassed by a staff member to QR scan. She suffered a panic attack and she had to call me to pick her up. know your rights as a gym/business your not to police it! You will loose members if this harassment continues. We are seeking legal advice.

While the entrance and pool facilities are wheelchair accessible half the gym floor is elevated up one step with no ramps. Such an easy fix to make this gym accessible to more people and no effort has been made.

Staff nowhere to be seen when help is required, cannot offer the flexible personal training I’m after. Staff(a particular male) at the front desk have a don’t care attitude as well. Forgot to add - No induction was given on joining, although they called up after weeks to see if I needed any help.

It's a good place but needs to cater more for rehab....very limited times available

Almost a regular now. Four or five times a week. I enjoy training there. Friendly staff, lots of variety and new machines to try out. I'm impressed...

After a long forced hiatus I returned to Windy Hill to do the Aqua class and was pleasantly suprised! Its Exceptionally helpful happy staff who added a good vibe. A new fresh enviroment and modern amenities in the change room The Aqua Aerobics instructor was joyous all the way through the class and gave us a great workout with a great mix of modern music, including plenty of Bollywood moves. Great for the soul!

New member here and I have never been to a gym with such kind, helpful and supportive staff. The facilities are great too, with plenty of machines available, not to mention the pool!! Windy Hill Fitness have actually made me excited about going to do a workout! Thanks team!

I have been very disappointed with Windy Hill Essendon on many levels. From; - Unhygienic toilet and water fountains, - to lack of knowledge and authority of customer service staff at the counter, - to my main disappointment - their swim school. I have raised all my concerns with Windy Hill management to no avail ever. There is no care or acknowledgement but rather -defiance. My most recent experience is with their BlueFit swim school. My 2 children have been going to Windy School for several years (at least 5-6 years). Before BlueFit took over, their organisation and the instructors was not great. Since BlueFit took over, these things seemed to be better, but over the long term- it was not. My youngest son has been on the same level for about 2 years. I tried to engage with instructors about this, but there wasn't much feed back until the very end when the coordinator said that it may have been because he missed the assessments they do every 5-6 weeks. I expressed my disappointment in this ( I acknowledge I should have attentioned this much sooner) as they should be on top of this and have some sort of process in place were kids who are not progressing are flagged. She suggested trying other instructors that may help him progress better, but I decided to cancel. I considered 1 on 1 lessons, but they don't offer it. My friend offered to assess his skills and improve his techniques before her swims at their facility (she is a swimmer). During this session, we were pulled up by the guards that it is against company policy to teach our kids how to swim in their facility even if you are family or friend. They said only BlueFit is allowed to teach kids to swim- it is company policy (perhaps even govt law/regulation?). Their swim school failed my son and as they don't offer 1 on 1 lessons, we resorted teaching him ourselves, which didn't work, so we then tried my friend. There was no money exchange with my friend, she was just going to help us every now and then before her own swims at the facility. The only reason I really gave Windy Hill a go ( and why I am still a gym member) is purely out of convenience, otherwise I would not continue to engage with them at all. I am so disappointed with them and would be very transparent about my experiences with them to anyone who would consider using them. Oh and the 3 stars I have given is purely for the gym classes, equipment and gym instructors running some of the gym classes there- they have always been great.

Love this place, Matt and Chris are absolute legends. Overall just a good gym. One thing tho the barcode scanner to get in isn’t to good and only works sometimes. One time it didn’t work for my mate so I scanned in for him because he’s a regular and everyone there knows him and this older lady went off at me. Which got me by surprise not gonna lie. But yeah apart from the scanning thing issue over all an amazing gym.

As a new member, the staff have settled me in really well. The range and quality of the equipment is excellent and atmosphere is very energetic and motivating.Thanks to everyone at WHFC for a positive start to my new health and fitness goals.

The facilities provided are great, pocket-friendly and kept in good condition

Avoid Blue Fit Swim School, inflexible, money snatching thieves. Loyal client for over 2 years will now be finding a better swim school for my kids.

Windy Hill Fitness Centre is a good place to keep fit & Keep in shape. There are all ages, male & females, plus all levels of fitness with a big range of different programs running throughout the day

Excellent facility - Gym, pool, steam & spa and the people who you meet as well as the staff.

Love the facilities but they need to update their website so that they reflect true availability of swim lanes. They could do a few things better like using the PA system to move people on at the end of swim classes to clear lanes as necessary. Whilst the staff are friendly they can be inexperienced.

The staff at Bluefit, Windy Hill have been fantastic. Curteous, friendly, and engaged. Super impressed to see Luke in action recently. As the first to observe an incident Luke responded promptly and comprehensively. The team followed Luke's lead with calm competence and care. Many may not have noticed the impressive response on a busy swim morning.

Great place for kids learn to swim classes. Helpful staff.

Great Envirnoment as well as large variety of equipment ! Very friendly atmosphere .Happy and helpful staff . Gym, Always clean . Look forward to workouts.

had a bad experience with the staff at the reception (Vanessa). Not professional and rude They need a better training on how to deal with and treat customers. I’m really disappointed

All the staff here are amazing, except Gabriel - a caucasian blonde female in a pony tail in her 20s/ 30s ish. When I tried to return my locker key this morning (19/4), she was talking on the phone in reception. I put my key on the counter and told her I was returning the key, but she just ignored me and left me waiting there. Previously in this situation other receptionists just took the key and returned my card while staying on the phone. At that time I was in a hurry to catch a bus, so after waiting there for 2 minutes, I asked if I could return the key behind the counter. She still ignored me then called another staff telling her to come to reception because someone coming behind the counter! It’s very absurd that she can’t do a simple task for just returning the key, and let customers wait for minutes then calling another staff to do it!

This place is fantastic. Everything is new and clean. Layout is perfect. Has everything one could need

We experienced bad service and handling the issue today, staff not helpful at all, neither face to face or over the phone , and their system or policy is not flexible at all. I would not recommend this centre for anyone Will do official compliant to the management .

Friendly staff, clean, functional equipment, good variety of classes. Really like this gym.

Not a bad centre. Has most of the equipment you need for a workout. Gets busy around work knock off time. Has a large number of cardio equipment (cross trainers, treadmills, bikes) but they aren't the latest, so you'll not be able to link them to any smart device (that I know of). The TV's are there for some entertainment whilst doing some cardio. Gym floor is a decent size - lots of weights, benches and machines. There is also a "stretching" area surrounded by more weighted machines. This isn't a Fitness First, and that's a good thing.

Windy hill is very good for swimming l just love it. From Jess

Great in door pool n great staff 👍

What’s happening with my refund? Cancelled on 8th April. Then you took another payment and I still don’t have it back Told me I would be refunded by early May. Pay refund owing please

Accessible, friendly staff, big shower rooms with a family room option

The gym is a bit outdated compared to the more modern gyms. Pretty no-frills to be honest, has all the basic gym equipments, barbell, and machines. Could definitely use a renovation update, as half the gym is still using carpets. Seriously, what kind of gym still uses carpet these days? Can't fathom the amount of bacteria it attracts. Secondly, the white storage cabinet area could be thoroughly cleaned. It always looks so dirty, especially with COVID around, you'd think they would amp up the cleanliness. Lastly, the gym has recently switched to 24 hours, however when you go during off-staff hours, the gym is quite hot on a 20+ degree day. It seems like they reduce the amount of air conditioning to minimal, and i'm sweating just doing barbell curls. I'm not even doing CARDIO. Definitely annoying. They really need to fix this, and/or adjust the humidity levels in the gym, because it's a huge turnoff. If you're advertising this as a 24 hour gym, keep the temperature levels the same for your gym go-ers! Other gyms can atleast adhere to this better. FIX IT.

Has all the activities including swimming, yoga, aqua classes, pilates and many more group classes every day. Just love this place to keep my self active and healthy.

Great variety with classes. OK faciltities. Friendly staff.

Windy Hill has improved and is being managed by outstanding team under Bluefit. Highly recommend the facilities, responsiveness to emails and friendly welcomes and farewells make it great community to be apart of. The cleanliness has stepped up and support to encourage and even provide you tips while working out is welcome. Keep up great work team.

Great place, great atmosphere and nice friendly staff. The centre also has enough equipment with little waiting time. The pool is also very handy.

It’s a great centre, nothing fancy but everything you need.. It’s a shame they’ve closed the crèche, as that would be super convenient for parents in the area.I have joined another gym as they allow you to take your baby with you.. Windy Hill could easily do this, as well as Aqua classes for Mums & Bubs {Particularly in the quiet early afternoon} Pool seems to irritate me… I’m always itchy after swimming (never happened to me before) Shower floors could be cleaned more often (there’s often a surplus of staff; I’d personally have them doing 30 mins cleans) The “Old Rec” would be an EPIC spot to get some Reformer Pilates beds 😉 Overall, staff are central to this centre and super lovely!

At Wind Hill Fitness Centre they have the best staff, so friendly and polite. Keep up the great work guys.

Very busy in the evenings when swim lessons are on, but very quiet outside of lesson times. Nice and warm in the winter

About to be upgraded. It suffered badly during the extended lock down but has now resolved problems with facilities and is starting to upgrade and modernise the gym. Staff are performing well and very supportive.

Facilities are amazing, the team are super friendly and very professional - when it's busy they are very accommodating. Clean - just a fabulous place

I have been a member of Windy Hill gym for 5 months. The equipment is great and the atmosphere is good. However, I have had multiple issues when signing up for a membership and using the 24 hour services. I have found that the communication between staff is bad due to different managers telling me different policies. At the start of my membership, the manager said that I was able to use the fob to access the 24 hour gym, however, today i was told by a worker and another manager that i was not able to use the 24 hour services because i am under the age of 18. This was a shock to me as my friends and I have been using the gym outside stuff hours many times and have not been told that this was not allowed. The fob was then taken off me which felt very disrespectful. If I was told this at the start of my membership, I would have considered another gym. I am very disappointed and upset with the action of the staff.

I have been a member of Windy Hill Fitness Centre for more than 10 years. If asked by a friend I would recommend that they join WHFC. The equipment has recently been updated, the staff are very friendly and knowledgeable, the change room/toilets are clean and there is 24/7 access.

Good place for gym and swimming

Very friendly staff and they know there job.
