James is an excellent trainer and a lovely guy with heaps of knowledge. The vibe at TRG is always friendly and respectful. Great place to train!

Joined 'The Richmond Gym' during my off season just after I had torn my hamstring and ever since, these guys have taken great care of me! Absolutely loved the place and the workouts. James keeps the atmosphere fun with his quiet dad jokes and easy nature. Trained with Ash a couple of times and loved our conversations about fitness. Finally, not to forget their support during lockdown. They helped me stay fit all through lockdown with continuous support. Highly recommend this place to all!

The atmosphere at this gym is awesome. I absolutely love going here to train with some excellent trainers - especially James - who come up with new ways to challenge me. There’s a really fun vibe among the community of people who go here. Love it.

The best gym/community I've ever been apart of. James and Ash genuinely care about you the individual and do all they can to share their knowledge/experience. Their strength and conditioning programs are founded in science and with purpose (so rare). Since joining the TRG 3 years ago, I've lost 25kg and gained more strength and movement than ever before. I'm sad to have moved away from them!

I have been going to The Richmond Gym for 4 years. They’re training program is the best. I’ve seen my strength and fitness improve exponentially with them. James and Ash are really dedicated trainers who put challenging programs together, but also cater to individual needs in the class. If I wasn’t moving countries I’d still be there 6 days a week!

The Richmond Gym is an amazing place. I started my journey 5 years ago and I can tell you that you will struggle to find a gym like this. It’s the perfect place if you want to experience professionalism, friendship, trust, honesty and much more. The equipment is of high standards and the trainers are highly competent. They would adjust the training program according to your needs, your age, your current fitness status and your goals. Several types of classes are available: functional fitness (the one I did the most), strength, conditioning, kettle bell training and other cool stuff (hand stands!). Prices and flexibility are great. I can only say thanks to James, Ash, Jeremy and the rest of the crew. 5 stars!

Ash and James are very high quality trainers, both extremely knowledgeable and happy to help out with anything gym or training related. The classes are really fun and well planned out, especially conditioning which was my favourite. The gym feels like a community were you can make a heap of new friends, or train with like minded people. I highly recommend The Richmond Gym.

I can wholeheartedly say I have never been to a better gym! Drawing on their vast knowledge base, James and Ash create the perfect combination of classes and programs that are inclusive for everybody, from beginner through to expert. Always fun, always motivating, and always the good type of tiring! They successfully coached me through a rehabilitation program whilst working closely with my physio, making sure I was included in classes, given my own variation of movements or given supplementary exercises. I have no doubt my quick recovery was aided by the team at The Richmond Gym. Above and beyond that, there is THE BEST atmosphere in the gym, a personable approach, positive vibes, fun and variable training sessions and loads of friendly faces as well. You may join with the intention of getting fitter (which you will) but I’d put money on you getting so much more too.

Great inclusive strength and conditioning gym without the ego. Ash and James are welcoming and personable and work with everyone in a class environment to help develop strength and technique. Great for anyone starting out or experienced.

My partner and I went to The Richmond Gym for a number of months. Ash & James are hugely knowledgeable, respectful and make working out fun. The gym seems to attract like minded people and it was a great atmosphere to train in. We would continue to go to this gym, but we are leaving Melbourne. Highly recommended :)

Such a welcoming gym and would highly recommend to anyone looking to join. The guys are flexible and happy to adapt to personal needs/injuries. They have well structured programs and you’ll get a good blow out during the conditioning classes! Sad to be leaving the area but they’ve set the bar high

James Ross has been my personal trainer over the last few months at the Richmond Gym. I came here after having issues with other gyms across Melbourne, the attitude of some staff working at these gyms and the ridiculous fees that they were charging. The Richmond Gym is a far cry from that and incredibly welcoming and supportive. I've enjoyed each and every personal training session I've had with James Ross. He focused on meeting my needs as a client and possesses a wealth of experience in the fitness industry, particularly as it relates to kettle bell. Personal training sessions where interesting and varied, and he was very open to my feedback and modifying exercises based on chronic pain that I experienced. I also had very interesting conversations about various health topics with James given my experience in health promotion. I would recommend this gym hands down for anyone looking to meet their fitness goals.

I wish there was a gym like this in Sydney! Last week I trained at The Richmond Gym while in Melbourne for a conference. As a kettlebell sport aficionado, I was impressed by the huge set of kettlebells and the spacious studio-style gym with everything a lifter needs - including a great view of the Melbourne skyline! Most importantly, James Ross and the other trainers are super knowledgeable and encouraging, and have created a friendly, fun and down-to-earth environment. Highly recommend!

Richmond Gym is one of the best gyms I've been to. Supportive & Professional Personal Trainers Ash and James are fantastic. They really make the small group classes personable and give you that motivation to show up. The programs are versatile and I love that they run different programs. Another bonus is you don't feel like another number, the facility is spacious and they don't over book classes. Highly recommend !

Absolutely delighted with my experience at the gym! What truly sets this gym apart, however, are the coaches. Their expertise and enthusiasm are unparalleled, making each session not just a workout but a lesson in fitness. They take the time to understand individual needs and tailors exercises accordingly, ensuring that you're both challenged and safe. I've seen significant improvements in my strength and stamina under James' guidance. Highly recommend this gym for anyone looking to elevate their fitness journey.

TRG is simply an amazing place. It has programs that are meticulously created by its very knowledge trainers. It's a great place to have a personalised training experience to achieve your personal goals.
