🫤 Beautiful facilities. Some of the trainers are a bummer. They run the place after hours and pretty much do whatever they want with insanely loud speakers in disrespectful places, like right next to the cardio machines. The result isn't particularly safe for the ears, even wearing your own headphones... People often mention great, machines, equipment, facilities, friendly, sauna, classes, staff, time, wellness,

    Beautiful facilities. Some of the trainers are a bummer. They run the place after hours and pretty much do whatever they want with insanely loud speakers in disrespectful places, like right next to the cardio machines. The result isn't particularly safe for the ears, even wearing your own headphones doesn't block it out. Asked for a solve. Continued to happen. Moved gyms because honestly, who needs to feel rubbish when it's supposed to be an environment of positivity. Found another beautiful gym down the road.

    Well equipped for a commercial gym, with 3 power-racks, 2 deadlift platforms, and a rig with room for 6. Plenty of standard and bumper plates, barbells are of varying quality but there are enough. Up to 60 dumbbells. I was able to access the gym through my fitness passport. I didn't give the last star because of the unadvertised conditioning you get from all the plates and equipment left everywhere in a gigantic mess. You can't avoid all mess with a 24/7 gym, but not all the trainers set a good example by re-racking their weights and keeping things tidy.

    One word…wow!!! I think I have found my new favourite gym! Nice & new equipment (can’t believe how quiet the treadmills were!👌🏼), staff were very friendly, spacious, clean & loved the music so much I didn’t even need my headphones! Have yet to try the smart equipment & other machines (I haven’t seen before in other gyms) & look forward to trying out the wellness section also. Also great how they stock some items which saves a trip to the supplement store! Location is also opposite Marrickville metro in case you needed to grab some groceries on the way home etc. Am so impressed & definitely better than any gym I’ve been to 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

    ***Beware when signing up!*** On the 7 day trial, they’ll get all your payment information and automatically sign you up for a 12 month contract when the trial finishes… even if you have asked for a month to month membership! I was told “not to worry” about the disclaimer as they don’t have a 7 day trial agreement that accounts for people wanting to go on a month to month membership after the trial ends. After 2 fortnight’s I realised that the amount being deducted from my account was incorrect and didn’t have any invoice or payment receipt to reconcile the transactions against. After questioning them at the counter, I was told that the first few payments are different because of the starting charges and that the next payments will be ok. I wasn’t given a clear answer and the person couldn’t find any invoice for the charges made at the time. Again I was told “don’t worry” we’ll email the invoice. So I trusted that it will be ok. Another month passes and by the time I get around to questioning the charges, I end up breaking my wrist by accident and eventually place the membership on hold. Once I discover I’ll need a good 6 months of physio to recover, I go in to cancel the whole membership. I’m then told that I have to pay $419 as I was in a 12 month contract! The lady prints out the initial agreement and points to the disclaimer I was told “not to worry about”.

    What an amazing experience at Strive Wellness yesterday. The 3 hour packaged included 45 minutes of infrared sauna, 1 hour of the best massage I had for a long time and 1 hour in the floating pod. The place is very clean , stocked with fresh towels ,bathroom robe and drinks. Zuzana showed us around the facilities and thoroughly explains every session has been amazing. If you are looking for something special, pamper yourself or provide a gift for someone you love, this is definitely worth it. What a great experience. Thank you Zuzana and your team!

    Clean, friendly and nice ambience I did 11x sessions of legs compression here and each time gave me that "safe" feeling that let me to fall asleep during my treatment. I am fully recommended for anyone looking into joining the gym or spa treatments here. The friendly receptionists always there ready to assist; Kiarash & Angela, thank you for your services 🙏❤

    Beautiful Gym with exceptional facilities! I've done 3 pilates classes with 3 different instructors and all of them were fantastic, really lovely and made great accommodations for exiting injuries, still making sure l had a great and thorough workout. Tried our the infared sauna and the Nortmatec compression therapy yesterday, would 100% recommend

    4.5 Stars Sauna Review. Used the sauna (no other facilities) and it was actually one of the best couple sauna experiences I've had in Sydney. The room and infrared sauna were quite roomy. Both myself and my partner had enough space to lay down (albeit legs bent). Because we went off-peak (between 9am-3pm) it was also very affordable ($41 for both of us). There was water and tea provided and the amenities were also really impressive. The service was excellent.

    Bridget is such an amazing instructor 😍 Everyone enjoys her classes an much as I do. She's just so incredible in motivating everyone. Our sessions with her almost feels like we're having fun while every inch of our muscles is crying. Thank you so much for your motivation Bridget. You're simply the best pilates instructor there 🍀

    Gym is super tidy, staff are really friendly and helpful with information and the sign up process. Carla was great to chat to and the music makes a fun environment while working out 😄

    Have been twice for casual day passes with my son who is a member, the first time was processed by Costa and Savanah on the Sunday, excellent service. They gave me an in-depth tour and were very welcoming. My second encounter was with another female and unfortunately was not pleasant, she was on her phone the whole time. My son is a long time member who said the new staff are not welcoming and do not pay attention to members.

    Not just a gym, but a movement 😉⚡️💥 Vibrating cables, robotic spotters and setting your weight at the touch of a button are just the tip of the iceberg here. Not to mention the wellness center looks like something out of a dream 💫 Strive Fitness is an experience, the sooner you join, the sooner you step into the inevitable imminent future. ✨️

  • 5/5 Christopher D. 11 months ago on Google
    Very tidy gym. Came here to get fit. Results exceeded expectations. Owner is a very kind individual as well, always up for a chat. Wellness is a great addition that I use frequently. Amazing value for the membership.

    Best gym for sure always super clean and tidy never too busy as well and everyone in there is heaps kind and knowledgeable. The staff are also super friendly and help out with any problems you need! Would definitely recommend to anyone!

  • 5/5 Rob 1 year ago on Google
    Maybe I’m a lil picky but to me a gym is just a gym. You go pick up some weights & you do some cardio if you’re lucky but strive goes beyond that. They cover the whole fitness circle complete. Offering a lot of recovery, such as sauna, cold & hot spa(which is really important). If you want a complete gym than strive is where it’s at. More than just a gym I’d say. Check it out for yourself😉 you won’t be disappointed. Oh & did I mention…Staff are friendly & gym is clean & great music…haha. There you have it, my votes in…#strivefitness 👍

    Amazing staff, outstanding service. Jack is a great massage therapist. One of the best massages I've ever had. Definitively coming back again. Highly recommended!

  • 1/5 Ryan N. 1 year ago on Google
    Classes running during peak and smart machines always broken, eliminates 2/3 of the gym. The sauna has confusing instructions regarding usage and doesn't get hot enough, I don't even break a sweat in there. I will be leaving as soon as my contract ends.

  • 5/5 Hany A. 1 year ago on Google
    Signed up on a 7 day trial and had a great overall experience. The facility itself is the best I've been to in Sydney and you can sense the owners literally put everything into building this with no expense spared. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. Only thing is missing is another branch just like this near the South West/Liverpool. 5 stars well done 🌟

  • 1/5 Quynh T. 1 year ago on Google
    Classes run during peak hours so there’s never anywhere to work out. Smart machines are nearly always out of order so can’t use that either. That leaves only 1/3 of the gym available. Sauna doesn’t work either.

  • 5/5 Shane B. 1 year ago on Google
    A blissful afternoon of well-being. Tranquil setting. Informative staff. State of the art equipment. In this crazy world we live in, everybody needs an afternoon (or morning) at Strive Wellness to reset, recharge and relax. 5* experience. I’m looking forward to my next visit.

  • 5/5 Mel R. 1 year ago on Google
    BEST GYM in the inner west! So refreshing to feel welcome from the moment u step in, great facilities and equipment, a wellness centre, this gym has everything u need! The club manager sets the best culture and I personally love Bec at the front desk! Join now u won’t regret it ❤️

  • 5/5 James W. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing gym & facilities! Definitely don't sign-up though because then I'll have to share. Owner's, please keep up the good work & build more gyms like this.

  • 5/5 Ellen S. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic gym with fantastic reformer Pilates classes. Special shout out to the instructor Jaclyn - love her classes and teaching style. Very attentive, great at explaining everything and knows how to make the muscles burn!

  • 4/5 Kristie L. 1 year ago on Google
    Pros: Its a great gym considering the price, size and location. The classes I've tried have been great and the trainers and instructors have been friendly. Great that there's food and smoothie options too. I am yet to try the wellness side/saunas. If i was rating with comparing to other gyms excluding classes: - Layout of gym is intimidating and was hard to find attachment equipment for the cable machines. - Bathrooms aren't kept very clean - Smart equipment: Seems to not work for my height (i.e. squat rack) -Cardio machines difficult to connect to and can't seem to run basic system programs

  • 5/5 natasha s. 1 year ago on Google
    Great gym with friendly staff and excellent facilities. I particularly enjoy Lauren's boxing class and Ivan and Jaclyn's reformer pilates classes.

  • 3/5 Rosanna M. 1 year ago on Google
    A real shame about this one for me. I went in excited to check out the wellness facilities (sauna, spas etc) but left dissapointed in the weight room set up & the equipment. As a 5"1 woman lots of the equipment either didn't have great range of motion, just wasn't targeting the areas I needed it to eg all the glute machines hit more of my quads & in one instance couldn't be used at all due to poor design. This wasn't a dealbreaker because I enjoy using free weights until I realised there wasn't a practical area for me to set up benches & barbell's for a hip thrust for instance. Had some questions about the smart equipment also but was told by the lady working she didn't have time. A bit of a woopsy on a grand opening day in the late afternoon. There is a lot to love about the gym: - great open space - loved the playlist - great group class facilities Room for improvement: - wellness facilities lacked privacy - a wider variety of cardio equipment needed (eg they only had one rower) - definitely needed more weights for machines & attachments.

  • 5/5 GEORGE G. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is amazing! The quality of the wellness centre is something else! Experiencing these extra services after a gym session is comparable to being in a resort environment. I highly recommend this place.

  • 5/5 Monica 1 year ago on Google
    Special call out to Ricky the instructor who makes the class so lively and he gives much 1to1 to ensure you are doing it right. On one occasion, after class, he was leaving and he still stopped and corrected a member on his form while exercising. This is above and beyond kinda passion and attitude.

  • 5/5 Erin B. 1 year ago on Google
    An adults playground!! Classes and teachers are brilliant, they have all the equipment you would want and more. Convenient location and plenty of parking. The sauna and hot/cold spa's are the recovery I never knew I needed or just a brilliant way to unwind after a long day. Vee is an amazing trainer, love taking her classes and her general support on the gym floor. Definant value for money and so happy I joined this brilliant community! Oh and don't forget to grab a protein treat on the way out, delicious!

  • 3/5 Tommy B. 1 year ago on Google
    Average gym, the space itself is great but a lack of weight plates and the quality of the machines make it frustrating. Between the racks and plate machines you are constantly walking around searching for weights throughout the gym. A lot of machines (cardio included) have had problems or been out of service which is quite poor for a brand new gym. The space could do with a thorough clean a lot of dust build up seems they rushed to open without finishing the final touches.

😠 Be there very early or very late or it's like mother Ganges in heat wave. Majority of lanes are reserved for lessons and recreational swimmers must share 4-5 people per lane. Steam and sauna are great. Fix the congestion/overlay of swim classes!
