    Went to G.E.S.A.C With my mates earlier today, and was excited for the experience. Once we got there, after paying admission we thought things would actually be open, but no everything was closed other than two or so lanes in the proper pool, and the lanes weren't even a metre side. We were extremely disappointed and then after not even 10 minutes of being in the pool we dressed up and asked for a Refund, the service was horrible, "We can't offer a refund but can offer you a guest pass", even though we were oh there for 10 minutes, after going back and forth I was able to get a refund but none of my friends were. If possible I'd give it a 0 stars, not impressed.

    Gesac is one of the places that I have been to my whole life. I have always enjoyed how there is always a spot for everyone. The deep indoor pool for older kids and adults. Pirates cove is always a favorite amongst the kids. The little kids pool that is also very good adults. All these things make gesac the place to be for local swimming.

    We love this facility and it could be so great but the organisation and management of the swim school is well below par. Kids ready for promotion can’t find a class - there is no wait list. Busy parents have to call daily or visit the desk and just be in the right time/place to secure spots in higher classes. Kids get repeated notifications they are ready for promotion while waiting for a spot. Very difficult to manage positive feedback and progress of swimming skills and such an easy fix but they’ve persisted with this approach for years.

    Beautiful pool and great swimming schools for kids. Swim school teachers and support staff are really friendly and supportive! Kids enjoy their time here!

    Thank you to Ruby who helped us sign up with a 7 day free trial! She really helped us decide what gym to pick and gave us a great tour of the facilities! Highly recommend the 7-day trial if unsure if this gym is the right fit :)

    Hi All, Indoor pool is always filled with swim school and if someone is working from 9-5 and want to swim at 6pm it’s chaos with kids from 3 pm to 7:30pm and only one lane is dedicated for everyone in the 25m pool. Either you are forced to use the outdoor 50m pool or you don’t swim. Being a long term member their service has been degrading to an extent where it isn’t acceptable. Irony is last night which is a Friday I did try to get to the pool at 7:15 pm and they said they are closed at 8 pm and in which swim school was still ongoing. Hope they increase the lanes to general public during their swim school times or completely change their name to swim school and stop membership to general public 😠

    Took my 2 grandsons today. Oldest one loved the children's play area, pirate ship complete with lots of water cannons, slides and water fountains. Lots of fun. Has cafe with snacks, coffee and ice creams. Only thing l could fault was the tables were not cleared and very messy. GESAC also has swimming lessons for children, basketball courts and Pilates. Has a large water slide which is very popular. Also large outdoor pool, and much more. Definately worth going too

    Its winter and the pools indoor are freezing? I had to get out! My kids could somehow deal with it. Slides are fun for the older kids. Little kids have the play area. I wasn’t allowed to take photos of my own children without other kids in the picture? I wont be returning anytime soon..

    It’s a great facility but can get too popular and busy. The change rooms are too small for a facility of its size (felt this way before Covid). The indoor lap pool lane markers are out of alignment with the ropes, which is annoying when doing laps with others. Outdoor pool is nice. Lots of parking but it fills up quickly.

    It’s well equipped, but you will struggle to book the most popular classes. Still not sure how 25 spots can be booked on reformer 3 seconds after opening...If the parking was half decent, might have just done the gym, but it’s woeful. Gave a star to the staff, they were pretty helpful for the short time I was there...and avoid signing up to the cheaper lock in contract.

    Went last weekend - unfortunately pirates cove closed (my bad should have checked the website). We were told at reception but thought that’s fine there’s plenty of lanes to have free swim anyway. Got inside and the amount of swim lessons were excessive. There was 1 lane free for about 50 people and kids all packed like sardines. Tried to use the hydrotherapy pool (as other kids were there for lessons but nope, told to get out). More lanes need to be opened up as there just was not enough room for everyone. A really disappointing experience. Totally understand maintenance needs to happen but perhaps the pool should make more lanes available. Or publish on the website that only 1 lane is available to the public. Should have believed the previous reviews that were written.

    This place is great. Me and my family went down 2 big waterslides. It was fun. Stuff is very friendly, so many ice creams to choose. I am definitely going back there.I would very highly recommend this fun place. 👍

    Great pool with a kids play area and two amazing waterslides. The green slide was the favourite for the kids and is certainly fast. Other facilities include a spa and sauna. Basketball courts have air conditioning which is a rarity in the Melbourne summer months and staff are always lovely. Outside pool is heated and 50m with the main indoor pool 25m. Nice cafe as well with a surprising collection of sportswear for sale

    I swim 2-4 times a week. As someone who works 9-5, they clearly prioritise swim schools over regular casual prices. They kick people out of their lanes mid swim. I asked why after they shut down the whole indoor 25m pool for swim classes, and then 5 out of the 8 lanes in the outdoor and then close a sixth. The lifeguard said "it's for the children, they take first priority, we never know how many will show up." And for a council run pool, the prices are outrageous, clearly they need to pay the 5 people who do nothing behind the front desk. I also went swimming today, and they took down the flags at the end of the pool. But due to ineptitude, the flags went into the water, and then they continued to pull the flags out against me. They didn't stop until I had to move the flags myself and untangle myself. No one apologised, no one asked me if I was ok, no cared. I asked them about it after my swim. And they said nothing, not one response. The "learn to swim" coach just looked at me as if I was just an obstacle for him and not someone who had paid their fee their to swim. There are children swimming in there, and if those lifeguards don't care if an adult is trapped. Imagine a child trapped (who isn't part of a swim lesson) I wish all parents there good luck, because you know those life guards don't care about anyone but the swim class participants. I suggest going to Kingston Wave Pool or Harold Holt Pool. At least they have better lifeguards who look after EVERYONE and care about people who pay for casual swims.

    Gesac is one of the BEST indoor pools I've ever been to! It has two water slides, a main pool, a play pool, and a spa. Along with that, it has two spacious bathrooms and a canteen! I would highly recommend going here for a fun swim with friends or family.

    I go there weekly and the facilities are great. Great for kids and adults. Parking is bit crazy sometime but you always manage to find it.

    Not too bad but a few things made it a little annoying to visit. Firstly, the family change rooms are WAY too small. You can’t fit a pram in the cubicle, or more than 2 people. The cafe seating was all taken by people just watching their kids, and not eating. It meant we had to leave to find somewhere to sit. Not that it mattered, the food was so over salted we ended up throwing it out anyway. The small learn to swim pool was great, however more needs to be done to stop kids jumping in. My daughter was landed on twice by the same group of kids. While it’s my closer than other pools, it won’t be our first choice.

    The kids always have fun here. I try to avoid the busy period after school or weekends as it becomes quite chaotic! Well setup and the staff are always friendly and helpful.

    Great design for young kids. The pool layout makes it easy to see them most of the time and the water is deep enough to have fun, but shallow enough to be safe.

    I have done multiple PT sessions with trainer Jess Hansen at GESAC and she has honestly helped transform my life. The way I approach my training and overall health has changed drastically for the better because of her. The space and the team at GESAC are really welcoming. It’s a great space to be in as people of all ages and abilities attend this gym. Special shout out also to trainers Tal, Will and TJ. Fantastic trainers to get advice and support from.

    Fabulous facility for kiddy swimming! But the café food is simply awful…I got a sample of nuggets, croissant and coffee and they all need work. Otherwise, a 5 star experience as far as suburban pools go…

    Ourside 50 m Pool was clean and an excellent experience. Shower and change rooms were a delight.however inside 25m was like bath water and felt unclean. But the price seem excessive compared to Waves and other pool complexes.

    Shocking service for cleaning tables in cafe area, all with left food, crums and cafe staff just didn't care that it's their job and business to provide a clean place/tables for customers to seat and have some food which they buy from them not just waiting for ages mythic cleaner to do that cleaning job for them.... Really it's absolutely disgrace!!! Ps. Mythic cleaner came, just did some floor clean and left all those food leftover on a tables unattended. Yes had a huge trolley for his cleaning tools but it looks like he doesn't have any idea who's jo b is it to clean tables and provide good customer service.... Ps. So much waiting for a new swimming pool to open up in Carnegie... Ps. Roof is leaking, suddenly with rain outside we got shower inside...

    Today was my first day at clube, I signed the Gold plan to access all facilities. I was expecting someone to show me the facilities. They just gave me my key access and wished Goodluck. I didn’t know where to go, I had problem to use the lockers coz nobody showed me how to set up the login. I waste about 30 minutes of my time trying to understand how everything works there. I didn’t have any support. Also the facilities are extremely dirty and smell terrible, the spa pool is cold. I already regret.

  • 5/5 Romaa F (. 3 years ago on Google
    Great place for kids. Smooth check-in plenty of room. Nice thing is water is warmish so if you are looking after little ones you can sit in the water and not freeze.

  • 5/5 Lesley D. 6 months ago on Google
    I went for my swim today A few bods floating around, but not overcrowded ....there is room for all to enjoy. Plenty of "floaties" to share . Life guards do a much appreciated job I love it there!🐋🐳🐟🐠🦈🐬

    Friendly and helpful staff, clean pool and showers. Love the outside 50 mt pool!!

  • 5/5 Alexandra N. 8 months ago on Google
    I love this place for the classes and the infrared sauna. The gym is very busy, but there are a HUGE range of classes in large studios. Some are "virtual," so just on a huge screen without the crowds and instructor. The facilities are awesome, the service is very good too. It's the best gym I've ever been to, going to be sad when I leave the council area!

  • 5/5 Lee M. 1 year ago on Google
    Gym is really well equipped. Friendly staff and there’s usually enough weights even when its busy. It’s on the pricier side but if you train regularly or take classes it’s worth it. Parking can get busy especially when the kids have sports on.

  • 2/5 U'Llynda 11 months ago on Google
    Last week when I attended the hydrotherapy pool was STILL not hot enough after weeks of many people complaining about it including my physio, there was white mould on the inside tiles in the spa, some of the globes in the infrared sauna didn't work. The disabled changeroom is always dirty. I hope they change all this soon.

    Just signed up yesterday and went for my first swim, a lovely guy at the front desk named Fraser helped me with my induction. He was so warm and welcoming, really appreciated his energy and enthusiasm. Loved the facilities, outdoor pool is excellent and membership price fare for an awesome experience. Looking forward to my next visit. Thanks Fraser, keep up the good work.

  • 5/5 Sarah G. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place! Great for kids of varying ages. They offer swimming lessons for all ages. There is a kids pool with slides etc. Also indoor 25m pool, outdoor 50m pool and hydrotherapy pool, plus spa, sauna and gym. Great facilities and nice little cafe.

  • 4/5 Rajaee R. 1 year ago on Google
    Pretty good facilities but I have to say that in a hot day people are packed in like sardines so I have wondered if they monitor their capacity limit. I saw people sneaking through because one of the exit gates was just left open so I suspect they don’t know how many are inside at any one time. Happy to be corrected.
