I wanted to like this place, I really did. But firstly, no prices or information on their site (year 2020, consumers need information). Therefore, I tried calling The Bunker...twice...left a message...twice... no answer and no returned call (Bear in mind this is January... The busiest time for gyms, surely all hands on deck)... I thought I would give it benefit of the doubt as it might be too busy, so I thought I would turn up in the morning... No one to let me in... No one to greet... Ghost town. I waited 15 mins and looked around where I could, only to find one of the staff members playing on their phone outside (by that point I was over the membership) I then find out they only open the office at 10am (Google listing only mentions 6am).. I was curious as to who is signing up for gyms at 10am? Not sure on this business model but seems money has gone more to fancy lights and marketing than actually getting the basics right. Better and more friendly gyms in the area that put their members first (new and existing) such as Enjoy Health Fitness and even Hiscoes. I would give this place 1 star as I couldn't get over the first hurdle, but I gave it an extra star as I haven't had a chance to see it. Think that's fair.

Love this gym and the people here. There's plenty of gyms where I work and live but I choose travel here because of the personal trainers, friendly staff, people and quality of the gym itself. I started off with 2 personal training sessions a week and now bumped it up to 3.

Have been using this gym for about a month now. I am really enjoying coming here; the equipment and facilities are great. The staff are helpful and there are so many classes to choose from. Absolutely love the bunker gym for sure.

The Bunker is the best gym & experience. Love being a member and training there. Have trained with Matt for 6 months and he’s the best trainer I’ve ever worked with.

This gym has changed my life this year. Joined straight after first lockdown and attend the group classes regularly, the variety of work outs provided has been better than any gym I've attended in the past and I've noticed much greater results than I've seen after years and years of gym training. The culture in the gym is fun and it's like working out with mates, music is always pumping and the trainers are great fun also.

Very clean, organised and the aesthetic of the gym is perfect for everyone. Will be a life long member. On another note the workers are very fire and keep you on track to reach your full potential and goals.

The entire 'Fitness Playground' franchise exemplifies high quality gym experience, posessing some of the best gym facilities across Sydney, and 'the bunker' is one of the best. Super cool location and rare equipment makes the entire experience both enjoyable and productive.

I am so happy I joined The Bunker. It is the first gym that doesn't make me feel intimidated to work out! Their treadmills are fantastic, the staff friendly, the facilities excellent. I opted for the highest membership which provides access to both The Bunker and Fitness Playground Surry Hills (along with all their classes!) and I am absolutely loving it! Couldn't recommend it enough!

Had a package with one month access and 6 PT sessions. PT didn’t show up at 2 sessions. Concierge only gave me 3 weeks access. Come on! Any work ethic!?!?

A absolutely epic gym in the center of Sydney. This place has everything you could ever need and more. It's insanely crowded in the mornings before work, but great at nearly all other times of the day!

The best gym I’ve ever been so far. Been searching for a good place to gym and glad to ended up at the Bunker. Not mind travelling from home to city just to gym here. Really love the vibe, friendly staff and trainer!

Great gym and atmosphere, everyone is really friendly and motivating, there’s one personal trainer in particular (Harrison) who always makes extra effort with his clients and goes above and beyond with customer service.

I don't like going to a gym generally but the Bunker changed that. The gym itself is not as thumping and frenetic as most gyms I've been too - the music is there but not shaking your ribcage, the equipment is modern and easy to use and even at the busy times early and after work, you can still get around and use equipment. The trainers are young, fit and clearly workout but you don't need to be the same. All ages and body shapes are welcomed as far as I could see and the personal training is great for learning correct technique (so many people work out hard and go with big weights but aren't actually working the muscle they are supposed to be) and also encouraging people to get the most out of what they are paying for. A really good experience. Highly recommend.

The Bunker it's a safe place for me. I've been in Sydney for 9 months and also in the Bunker. I've met a lot of nice people here. PT Harrison Lee, was the first person to make me feel welcome. I treasure that moment so much. Been in another country, different culture and language can be really overwhelming. I love the Bunker <3 and btw, I met my boyfriend here. So... The Bunker it's in another level :)

I have been going to The Bunker for around 10 months now and I love it. The guys do take care of the machines very well and the whole gym in general. They make sure they replace machines when they have had them for a while and they continuously add more equipment and machines which is great. Super happy! And absolutely recommended!

First of all, everyone is really nice, I always feel welcome in the gym. The facilities are really good, the place is beautiful. The bathroom is looked after and the showers are better than my own. I love working with my coach Connaugh, he teaches me a lot and I make way more progress than I would do alone

love this gym!! so clean, well maintained, not over crowded, and fantastic facilities. the instructors for the yoga classes are also really wonderful

Weird building layout. The only way to go to toilet / out is through small lift that fits only 3 - 4 people and only go up but not down. Locker / gym is not on the same floor, so if you go to toilet and forget to bring your key card with you, you have no access to your locker unless theres someone to help you go back down. Oh yeah not to mention locker malfunction as stated as other reviewers.

The gym is great in terms of gym equipment. They have the best equipments you can think of but I wish the gym members could be more considerate. 80% of people who go there are not for training but socializing. Most either on their phones or talking to friends while occupying the workout benches / equipments. Wasting other people's time waiting to use them. The gym should do something about this I feel.

Hands down best gym I've been to in Sydney! The Bunker is beautiful and aesthetically pleasing, with the best bathroom facilities i've seen in any gym. The moment you walk into The Bunker, you feel the energy of the space which really motivates, it's unreal! The equipment is clean and world-class and has every piece of equipment you can think of! To top off an amazing gym, the manager and staff are friendly and make you feel really comfortable. Highly recommend The Bunker anyone.

It's an ok gym but the sales pitch was nauseating and like something out of a comedy skit; I hadn't been pushed on a sale that hard for years. I just wanted to do a trial, which they'd advertised online and kept phoning me about, to see if I wanted to sign up for a membership while living in Sydney. I'm not sure if the staff are on commission or if it was some sort of a bet or competition - I'd usually extricate myself from any such situation but needing to train before a show I had to sit through it. Having 45 minutes of a planed 90 minute gym session was disappointing and I had to rush to the show. I'd rather have just paid for a day pass, which I only found out was an option after the fact. If you are remotely susceptible to pressure or value your time then this is one to avoid. It's very trendy and has a fairly large olympic lifting area although perhaps slightly too large as the rest of the gym is squashed into the other half. The benches are a bit awkward and too low to see anything in the mirrors. Some decent leg machines but nothing groundbreaking and slightly limited to perform a broad range of training. I was impressed to see a chest fly/lateral raise multi-function machine, but that alone was not enough to redeem the experience. I was chased down the street when leaving and offered a very special one time deal.

If your looking for a PT that will change the way you feel about the gym and support you 24/7 I highly recommend Ngoc. I’ve been working with her for almost 2 months and she has made such a positive impact on my life, not only in the gym but constant ongoing support. I cannot recommend her enough!

mid experience. a full membership costs around $60 per fortnight. one of the more expensive gyms for sure. lockers in the women's locker room malfunctioned at least three times during the short 8 months I trained with the bunker - malfunction not in the way that it doesn't lock, but that it doesn't open. if you train later at night around 8-9pm, then there is no help you can seek for the locker malfunction. One time in February this year I had to wait overnight for the locker to open so that I could get my stuff. At the time of the malfunction I wrote an email to the Bunker but I have received no response as of the time of this comment. the gym gets busy during peak hours, around 6-7pm. You will have to wait for popular equipment. The treadmills are sometimes fully occupied. This is also the time when the Bunker has classes. The classes occupy quite a lot of space, resulting in very limited area for stretching/cooling down. Not worth the price for the confined space in my opinion. You are here to exercise. You shouldn't feel you are in everyone's way (or vice versa) all the time.

Amazing clean and modern gym with incredible facilities. Love the classes and trainers here.

Great place where to workout, amazing staff abs really good vibes

Awesome Gym, been with the gym almost a year. Great equipment also the team is very professional and friendly. Frank, Benji, Kris, Amy, Allen, Tom everyone was very helpful. Would recommend to anyone who lives Surry Hills or close the area.

I’ve been training at Fitness Playground and the Bunker by Fitness Playground for over 18 months now. Apart from strength training, I’ve loved working on improving callisthenics skills with my trainer Dave Marsh. It’s really helped with mobility, movement and strength, and overall wellbeing. What I love most about the Bunker is the sense of community. All of the trainers help create a supportive and friendly environment that makes going every day an enjoyable and rewarding experience. Thank you Dave and the Fitness Playground family for helping me become a better, and stronger me.

Wasn’t expecting to like a gym bit this is a pretty good one. My main grip is with music but that’s just a matter of taste. Good, clean, well maintained equipment, fun classes.

The absolute best gym in Sydney. I'm currently living in Dubai but the second I return, I will 100% re-join the Bunker. The staff there were so insanely nice, really helped Sydney feel like home (I'm Canadian). They created such an awesome community vibe, not only in but outside of the gym too. Their classes were incredible, and their support around the gym was greatly appreciated as well. I miss you guys so much!

The bunker has fantastic trainers, great equipment and facilities. But what I love most about it are the challenging group fitness classes.

It’s a great gym, not too busy

Fantastic gym, top quality equipment, friendly staff and an all round great workout environment. Highly recommended.

Awesome ambience, professionals and members. Also love the décor and the vibe, and most of all its location :)

Very clean and modern facilities. Gym floor is sleek and clean, wipes readily available. On the small-mid size, but that's part of the intentional appeal of a "boutique" gym (no towel service). There's a member cap for the Bunker, but it can still get busy enough that you may have to wait for certain machines at peak times. Due to its size, there are also a few pieces of equipment you might not find here, so keep an eye out when you first visit to make sure it's not missing your favourite station. That said, there's a high chance you could find it at the other Fitness Playground location down the street also in Surry Hills, which is also nice and slightly more boutique than the locations in Marrickville or Newtown. (But it's kinda dumb to have to go to two gyms just for one piece of equipment so I'd recommend just subbing it out.) I'm not actually a member but I did trial it, the only reason I didn't go through is the distance from where I live.

I’ve been a member at the Bunker for a year now and couldn’t recommend it more. The trainers are amazing and so friendly, the equipment is sophisticated, excellent quality and clean, the classes are tough but adjustable and there is always a respectful, yet fun vibe in the gym. Always love my time here!

I’m extremely pleased I decided to join The Bunker gym at Surry Hills. I have scheduled weekly PT sessions, and access to the Fitness Playground gyms if desired. They send you reminders for PT sessions which is always helpful with a busy schedule. The trainers are experienced, the equipment is high quality, and overall it’s a great environment and a very well run operation. Highly recommended.

Bunker is by far the best gym I’ve been to in over 7 years of training and the equipment and staff are always well-kept and maintained to the highest quality. I couldn’t speak higher about bunker but if I had to pick some words to describe it would be amazing, world class and exciting. Especially the music!

Great gym, helpful staff and amazingly good trainers. Highly recommended.

Such a nice, clean and convenient location. The gym itself inside is a boutique feel with a smaller number of machines and equipment than the others but what it lacks in size is made up in the amazing team! Harrison is our PT and couldn’t be happier training with Harrison, very detailed program to whip is back into shape and to help us maintain our fitness goals. Having trained with Fitness First for over a decade we are so pleased we made the switch to this super funky, friendly and much better fitness community. Ditch the rest and join the best club in the Inner City! Thanks so much Harrison.

I just got to Australia and was searching for a nice gym. I had a free session with Sam at the beginning and she was the nicest person ever. Everyone here was very friendly and had a lot of knowledge! I would definitely recommend this gym. Eventhough my plans changed spontaneously, this would be the place I would chose for a workout if I stayed in Sydney!

Great floor layout and best equipment fitted… a proper gym designed with serious gym-goers in mind.

I have been training here for a year after trying 3 other gyms in the area and this was the first that made me feel comfortable and not intimidated. You guys have the BEST trainers working there, every time I am in they are saying hi always with a smile. Keep up the amazing work guys! xx
