    Hmmmm I dunno about classes but just dealing the gym, after doing extensive research and trials at nearby gyms, they definitely need to update the requirement AT THE LEAST. I am all got the nostalgia of the location and the warehouse style gym, that is great. But for a gym which is basically charging the same rates as competitor gyms, and let’s be honest it is a very competitive market; the equipment needs a serious update. I feel like the machines are from the 80s and before the time machines and equipment were designed for ergonomics and support of the body. Weight machines are limited and they don’t even have the basics that terribly equipped gyms even have. I mean they don’t even have short arm curl bars. You have to basically use bars as long as squat bars.. This gym definitely needs to update its equipment and it would become a competitive gym in terms of equipment. They need to fix the bubbling floors around a few of the machines also. Tripping hazard.

    My overall experience of this gym has been very positive. The amount of machines is average, however they are all still usable and get the job done well and additionally, all of the staff are friendly and willing to help. The only issue is the music that is played constantly, it is not too loud but it makes hearing ones' own music quite difficult, especially with average headphones. Lastly, the pricing is quite reasonable compared to other gyms in the area considering facilities and equipment.

    I have been training at this gym for 6 months now and it’s awesome. The retro and friendly atmosphere combined with a very well equipped weights area is everything you look for in gym. The staff and owner are all really friendly which makes coming down to the gym a highlight of my day! I high recommend this gym to anyone of any experience level😁

    Poor customer services skills. They offer a free 7 day trial online if you live in the area. The guy at the front was being that rude he was just trying to sell me a membership. He was super pushy, without even listening to me. They have another offer where you get a free 1 day pass if you aren’t in the area but he made me pay a $25 casual visit. Go look on their website and check. I feel like he was discriminating against me and he made me feel unwelcome. I have never had such an awful experience at the gym and I’ve been training for 12 years. I really think they need to reconsider who is at the front desk. I’m more than happy to pay but when you false advertise and make people feel like they don’t belong and try to just treat them like a number then that’s when I draw the line. Very disappointed, upset, hurt and embarrassed. By far worst atmosphere and vibe.

    Set in a warehouse. Has everything that you would need. Not over the top in price and still get the benefits. Space galore, we'll set out and busy enough. What's better is the owners are friendly and definitely make you feel welcome. It's a winner for me

    Very local gym in Rozelle / Balmain. Very lovely staff and the owners are lovely. Have soooo many classes, way more that the competitors. Open areas, huge space, clean bathrooms. If you live or work around the area, would def. recommend this gym for you. They have different rates depending on your needs, just explain to them what you are after and they will help :).

    The gym has poor ventilation - in summer it’s very hot. There isn’t much equipment especially machines and the membership cost (for what you are getting compared to other gyms) is expensive. I enquired about a free pass and staff were pressuring me (when I attended to have a tour) to join the gym without even trialling the gym once. The gym has potential but it needs ventilation and the equipment to be updated.

    Awesome facility with a heap of space. They have a relaxed style of on boarding that isn't the classic aggressive sales tactics. No lock in contracts and super decent weekly membership (not posted in case it changes). They have a heap of classes that you don't need to book into and the vibe is friendly. Not very crowded either and everyone who goes tends to be friendly. All types train here.

    Quality gym with full equipments to workout. Very very friendly stuff ever and good environment in the gym. I haven’t seen any greedy people in this gym. No need to rush to workout because someone will steal your machine.
