    We had a 5th birthday party at Kids Zone inside Runaway Bay Performance Centre on the weekend, it's such a stress free experience, a great air conditioned private venue. The host is awesome and makes sure things run smoothly and on time. Highly recommended!

    We arrived on Saturday for a full day of soccer competitions. Car parking facilities are limited. You couldn't even get a cup of coffee or tea. Poor access, no wheel chair access, centre closed at Noon. The only access to the public car park is to walk around the athletics track from the grandstand. Just as well we had our food with us. Get there early if you want a car park and take your own food.

    After 5 weeks on crutches I came for a sauna and some laps in the pool. Then across to Two Brothers Barber shop for a hair cut and beard trim. Been a great day. Helpful staff at The Performance Centre helped me find the bicycle lock up rack and good chats with the locals by the pool. Back on two feet again, let's go!

    Very dodgy, would not suggest signing up with them unless you enjoy overpaying, being ripped off and poor service. Gym has been upgraded, but is still subpar, gym staff are not friendly or helpful. Change rooms stink. The one nice thing is most of the staff at the entrance are nice most of the time.

    So happy I joined here. Amazing instructors, huge range of group fitness classes, good atmosphere, outdoor feel workout gym, heated outdoor pools, just amazingly facilities. The sauna and spa in the members changing rooms is perfect after an intense workout. Only down fall is the weekend hours are too short.

    Great Gym , awesome customer service and trainers. Facilities are fantastic. It has everything you need. It’s a Gym anybody in any shape can feel comfortable being in and that to me is what makes it special.

    Incredible facilities, the gym has just been redone (they are always keeping it up to date) membership prices are very fair. They even have fitness passport which is amazing. It has everything you could possibly need in a gym (gym, group classes, 2x pools, track and field, sauna and spa). I've been to a lot of gyms on the Old Coast and this one is by far the best.

    Like to know who put the stupid rule that casual (non members) can’t swim between 8-4pm due to no life guard? What’s difference between casual and members needing a lifeguard?! Most dumbest rule I’ve heard to date. Taking my business to Broadwater pool.

    Best Gym around hands down! It has everything you could possibly need, want or imagine in a gym and more - I've been to a few gyms over the years but I'm at home here. The team here have helped me physically, mentally and offer so much encouragement, support and are genuine - really consider this place and the members as family.

  • 1/5 Nick P. 1 year ago on Google
    Terrible service, was quite excited to check out the facilities today & was turned away because I only had cash. I had called up earlier to confirm pricing and nothing was said about being cash only, wasted an hour getting there and back. Considering the circumstances, there was no effort or care to offer an alternative solution, perhaps a first time visitors pass or similar. Offered to pay double on my next visit, I offered my card details for it to be charged at a later time once I could deposit cash into my account. Zero help or care and we’re happy to turn me away. Highly disappointing experience before even using the facilities.

  • 4/5 Clint B. 1 year ago on Google
    Great centre, friendly staff and great facilities, some need more maintenance than others, & I hope the GCCC keep it upto scratch after the take over.

  • 5/5 Samantha M. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic party venue for all ages. Perfect for a more inclusive party when you have a wide age range. Great set up and amazing host! Could not have been better

  • 5/5 D J Marcus the S. 1 year ago on Google
    Great facilities. Just been refurbished. Very reasonable fees. Helpful staff. I use the facilities and classes at least 3 times per week. Highly recommend!!

  • 5/5 Clare B. 1 year ago on Google
    I held my daughters 5th Birthday party at KidsZone and had a great experience. Heidi was there to assist on the day and was absolutely brilliant! From start to finish all the staff have been excellent to deal with. I would highly recommend KidsZone to anyone wanting a venue for a children’s party.

  • 4/5 Barbara D. 1 year ago on Google
    I have been a member of GCPC for many years - in fact you could say we have grown older together! There is much that is positive about the Centre but the concern I have had for some time now is that the range of classes that are suitable for older members is very small. I have no figures but from observation I would guess that there is quite a large older membership and I do think that the Centre could provide considerably more classes that are within the ability of older members and that would encourage them to keep exercising.

  • 5/5 MK O. 2 years ago on Google
    Friendly staff who are always welcoming. Great gym area, partially outdoors so no awkward sweat smells. Pristine 50m outdoor pool and warm indoor pool. They have an awesome, indoor Kidzone/creche available on bookings, which the kids love. All has been thought at this Performance Centre making it an inviting place to have a no excuse workout!

  • 5/5 Kristie K. 2 years ago on Google
    We had our sons 1st & 3rd Birthday Parties at Kids Zone and it was the perfect experience! Having the venue exclusive for your party allowed the boys to run around and explore safely. It was so stress free! We will 100% be back and could not thank Lisa and Heidi for their help in making our kids birthday party perfect. Worth every cent. Thank you!!

  • 5/5 Lucy B. 1 year ago on Google
    We had an amazing party. The Centre is very accommodating specially with my son's needs as he is Deeply autistic. the child care attendant was super friendly, helpful and patient with the kids and adults. I loved it!!! everyone has a very good time and the feedback I was given by the guests was that this place was a world class location to hold parties :)

  • 5/5 Gateball S. 1 year ago on Google
    We recently attended the Australian Gateball Championships at the Gold Coast Performance Centre and stayed at the accomodation too. Natalie and all the staff were fantastic. Everyone including reception, security, event management and groundskeepers could not do enough to help us. The accomodation was fantastic, clean, close to the event and conveniently located to shops and restaurants.

  • 4/5 Detective H. 2 years ago on Google
    We went here for a school camp the staff were very friendly and helpful and nice! The food was very disappointing! The facilities were excellent but it needs some upgrades including a lick of paint. Very popular with locals! Cool spending time with the footballers!

    This place everything you need such as gym ,yoga ..the cafe has a play area for children if they become a member so parents can have some time out ..my 3 yr old has swimming lessons there and absolutely loves every moment i would recommend to any parent looking for swimming lessons

  • 2/5 Nikki Y. 1 year ago on Google
    I used to be a member here 2 years ago. At that time it was great, except the pool was often taken up by clubs and sometimes closed for events. But enjoyed the classes and excellent value. Changing rooms and sauna nice. However I came back recently for a casual swim session and was really dissapointed to see the facility looking filthy. It was gross. The indoor pool had grime on the floor. The spa was the worst though- it was smelly and the floor was disgusting. Saunas are good. Showers were also very unclean It was really offputting and as a result I am reluctant to come back despite never noticing an issue 2 years ago.

  • 5/5 Leanne H. 1 year ago on Google
    Hi I was a member from when this gym opened until last year when I moved overseas. Thats 20+ years! when I moved in Aus I still travelled to this gym as the complex is just amazing. The staff are lovely always welcoming they remember your name, helpful. I lost a diamond earing in the 50mt pool and they found it, incredible. The pools and gym are kept in top notch condition, they replace the gym gear regularly. there is such a huge variety of classes in the gym pool and studio also including a triathlon team. I cant say enough about how fantastic this gym is especially compared with the two facilities I use here in Spain. I am travelling to the Gold Coast in 2023 and will definitely drop in.

  • 3/5 Liezel 11 months ago on Google
    Sporting facilities are great. Spectator facilities not so great. The pool stands are in the sun most of the day and the metal stands get hot. We missed the ability to grab a cup of coffee since the shop seems to be open only Monday to Friday.

  • 1/5 Blair S. 7 months ago on Google
    It has become a bloated government run organisation with little to no care of client or community. They'll happily close of any part of the centre for the next big sports team or school while lumping you with an excess bill for missed Direct Debits. No longer the community organisation it was 10 plus years ago.

  • 4/5 Charlie H. 6 months ago on Google
    Seems like a great place. Staff friendly. Excellent gym and pool. Very reasonable membership cost. Diverse mix of people using the facilities. Gym is huge although it is semi outdoor so come the height of summer it may be pretty hot at times. Time will tell.

  • 5/5 Sergey B. 6 months ago on Google
    Best gym on the Gold Coast. Great facility, well looked after. Service is impeccable. Always friendly with a smile. I’ve been to a lot of Gyms on the coast and Management should be proud of the work they have done. Special shout out to Matt from Sales and PT Phil.

  • 5/5 Gonzalo C. 6 months ago on Google

  • 5/5 Peter I. 3 years ago on Google
    Well kept grounds and safe for kids

  • 2/5 Max A. 3 years ago on Google
    Parking and pathway to field is pretty lack lustre. No shade in their outdoor facilities which is a terrible oversite for any sporting facility in Queensland. The design of the sprinkler system for the hockey field fails to actually wet the whole field the majority of the time. The actual field is good, but without proper water it's going to get bad pretty quickly.

  • 5/5 kevin g. 3 years ago on Google
    Best gym in Australia

  • 5/5 George M. 3 years ago on Google
    A really good gymnastics school for kids in Southport on the Gold Coast. The instructors are also really good.

  • 5/5 Papataia B. 3 years ago on Google
    Dorms are clean and there are plenty of room settings for family units! Ideal for a sporting family getaway for those competitive families... volleyball court set in sand! Lights stay on after dark until 9pm! Fantastic lil getaway for the active family

    Booking for class was not done correctly by staff member - (through no fault of mine) - therefore, I missed out!!

  • 1/5 Alena L. 3 years ago on Google
    We’ve celebrated our daughters b’day on 10/10/2020 at Kids Zone -Hospitality at this place is poor. We all felt being watched over the time being there. -Poor signage 95% of our guests got lost on the way and came late + it was a sports event on the day making it even more difficult to find. -We was told they have table cloth. Likely we’ve had our own as the one that was provided was for the one half of the table, needed a wipe and size small then table. -Went to rinse fruits and found all 3 sink were dirty. No paper towels or wipes to collect water spills. -Were expecting a proper music sound instead it was just a portable speaker that you can’t hear once jumping castle went on. -15mins prior to finish time without warning kids were kicked out of play area and in rude manner we was told that we need to pack up as our time was almost over. We’ve had it in plan anyway but the way it was done make me completely disappointed of the venue hire. Considering we’ve paid $350 for 2 hours (+30mins set up) and lady who was constantly watching all of us just turn all things off assuming ‘we told you about it’. Really ?! When !? 30 mins that used to set up were used for the runs from car park and back as its no parking near by. Won’t use this place again and won’t recommend it to others. Better go and celebrate it at the park and spend those $350 for something nicer. You can get a better value/party time and place on the Gold Coast if search around a bit more.

  • 5/5 Stuart 3 years ago on Google
    I occasionally use the gym and 50m pool. This place has it all. From full open space gym, Olympic and indoor swimming pool, to sauna (very important), spa and multiple exercise classes including yoga. Additionally there’s a coffee place, units for rent and track and field for athletics.

  • 5/5 Kimberly M. 3 years ago on Google

    Has everything you could possibly want in a gym plus so much more!

  • 1/5 Annabelle W. 3 years ago on Google
    Second time I’ve cancelled my membership here and for good reason! Contact details were not updated when I rejoined so no communications were received to say they were reopen - and then the audacity to still charge fees when told of their error. Won’t be returning and advise others to look elsewhere for a more accommodating gym!
