If you are looking for casual session, not the place to go. It’s too expensive. It was $10, price has doubled ($20) Friendly staff - equipment is in good shape.

$20 casual visit is a rip off. Good range of dumbbells but the machines are terrible. The gym smells quite bad, poor air circulation, water tap tastes like bleach is put through it regularly. Would give it a miss if you want quality machines in a nice environment.

Cheap $10 casual entry. Has everything you need, in an unusual environment (old banana vaults under a train line.) If you’re not a fan of dirt, grime, sweat and smells, I suggest you go elsewhere. This place is the real deal. No matter your level of skill, there’s something for everyone here.

Awesome gym, lots of facilities, friendly staff. Definitely recommend it. However, I had to leave as its no longer 24 hours. The reason for the review though is that the cancellation process is a borderline scam. Please only cancel the day after your payment or you will be charged for a full month but still lose access. The third party company, Debit Success, also has some of the rudest customer service providers out there and insane wait times. Kinda wild.

There is nothing fancy about this massive old-school bodybuilding gym. Having said that, it's clean and tidy and, more importantly, has everything you could possibly need. It's 20$aud for a day pass - and they actually bother to staff the place so you can get one outside office hours and at the weekend. It's a great place to train.

i canceled membership with this gym because it's no longer a good gym, not what it used to be and the recent new "upgrade" of cardio equipment is poorly chosen, it was better before..

Very cool "old school" type of gym. Casual rate of $10 is really reasonable.

The best gym in Melbourne if you are serious about training. No other gym has history like this one. No other gym in Melbourne has had so many world champions visit and train at. The staff their are the best. Next to the yarra river with beautiful Southbank views. What more can one ask for

Best gym I have ever been. Great atmosphere, old school but efficient equipment, no fancy stuff, no TV. Best place if you want to train seriously.

Great inspirational environment Supportive crew The original 24 hr gym Where beasts are made

I attended Doherty's gym from October 2016 to March 2018. During that time, I used a monthly membership and attended the gym for about an hour and a half every weekday, and sometimes weekends. The staff were pleasant and conversational, the gym offered a wide selection of machines and freeweights, and the gym was always open. Sometimes it's hard to find equipment at peak-hour but it goes part and parcel with being a gym in the city. I had to cancel my membership because travelling to the city takes too long for me, and I'm in the Eastern suburbs. If anyone is on the fence about attending - take the plunge. You won't regret it - you'll get in better shape, make friends, and have a great time like I did.

Great, great gym in Melbourne CBD. I dropped in on a Friday morning to get some training done during my long weekend visit. I got a casual pass, which was easy to do. Staff were friendly, helpful, and approachable. Amenities were clean, spacious, and bright. The equipment and space throughout were all top notch. As a powerlifter I was impressed by the specialised equipment on hand- rogue and eleiko bars and plates, plenty of excellent racks, benches, and platforms. Body builders would be happy here too though with plenty of dbs, lots of equipment, and reminders of visits from Coleman and Schwarzenegger. Super interesting architecture also being in the banana alley vaults/ viaduct buildings with trains going overhead. 10/10 would recommend and I'll be visiting again when I'm next in town

Fantastic spread of equipment across the four vaults. I love going there during peak hour to get inspired by other people's extreme discipline wrt training, nutrition and pushing through the pain barrier. I also enjoy going later at night when it's quieter, for a chill reflective run. Hoping they extend their opening hours a little bit further, and get them closer to pre-COVID times. 10/10 would recommend.

Most staff are rude and uninterested. Gym space is small, smells mouldy and there aren't ample amounts of machines. Hard to have a good workout when it's busy. On the plus side, a good range of machines, always open (even Christmas day) and relatively cheap monthly rates. Wasn't enjoyable to visit but did the job for a month.

Excellent staff. I can't complain. Some barbell should be changed because are broken, tough.

Great well equipped gym with friendly staff and lots of space. Doesn't have luxuries as sauna or pool, but very accommodating for casual visitors, not crowded and good selection of machines and weights.

A very old school gym. If you want to train like Schwarzenegger and Co, you should train here. The devices are solid and certainly as old as Schwarzenegger. There is everything your heart desires. The gym is very large, dumbbells can weigh up to 55kg and the equipment can easily withstand any large (up to very large) load. The staff is friendly and helpful. It consists of 3 large tubes in which the devices are divided according to muscle groups. The day ticket costs 20AUS, there are also monthly and annual tickets.

It used to be $10 casual.Not affordable any longer for $20.

Good atmosphere and chilled staff members !

Good gym with everything you need. Cool place as well under the trains. Cheap membership and open 24/7

Gym has got everything I need. It's really wonderful. I will refer everyone I know It's really wonderful. I was amazed at the quality of gym.

Awesome gym, great selection of apparatus to suit bodybuilding training. The Melbourne Mecca.

UNIQUE LOCATION WITHIN THE BANANA ALLEY VAULTS The gym is actually one of the vaults (with the characteristic arch ceiling. It is always popular and has an "al fresco" feel with the front of the gym open to Flinders Street.

Love this place. What an amazing f#$_king gym in the heart of the city. The branding and image seems exclusive but the staff are awesome and accept anyone. Get on it. This gym has what you need to stay fit / get fit.

Gym over there it's alright I guess I only been there once the weight equipment are alright to use but do not use the treadmills over there they are so garbage so old I wouldn't recommend using any of those cardio equipment over there it's more like a old school weights gym" I'm not too sure about stuff over there and I I had some of the stuff over there are rude C*nt's but there was one guy working there and he was cool but I'm surprised he was overweight when I just walked into the gym and I told the bloke if I could just have a look around why was just in looking around the gym I'm talking to myself saying I can't believe there's a fat guy working at a gym especially a gym like this but it doesn't matter if your skinny fat or muscle as long as you get paid doing your job that's fine"

Very good gym at decent prices! I'd sign up if I was living in Melbourne. Highly recommend.

Great gym! Definitely put the Brunswick and Dandenong branches above this one in terms of equipment and space but it does the job...

The Staff are amazingly helpful and kind. Dylan is the gentleman who helped me today and I can’t say enough nice things about his customer service. 10/10 would recommend getting a pump and a smoothly while you’re in Melbourne CBD!!

Has everything you need plus old school bodybuilding vibes, love the atmosphere

Sick, clean gym with a chill interior in an accessible location. Shout out to the beautiful receptionist Chloe who was super helpful and friendly, excellent representative of this organisation 🤙. She makes a mean choc smash 😂. Will defs be doing my morning reps here!

Great gym. Good pricing.

Such a great amount of equipment. 1 of the best body building style gyms I've been to in Australia

Great bunch of clients and staff. Love being a part of the community down there.

Fun, old school, great atmosphere. Can't wait to get back there.

The only gym that really motivated me in my life and brought me there how i wanna to be miss you so much?

Fantastic gem to find in the city! (Visiting from QLD brisbane) The lady at the front was amazing and helpful! Was in the powerlifting section and has great equipment and the people there friendly also! Went for a casual visit will be back when I'm back in Melbourne for sure! Thank you!!

Great gym to got to, friendly trainers

Great place to be and Katie is a superstar! Going to be doing PT with her from next week. :)

Great gym. Great equipment. Great staff. Absolutely love this place

Great gym, lots of room and everything you need for a good boxing session. Some of the equipment is a little dated but nothing wrong with old school.

Convenient because it's so close to the house, but some of the equipment needs to be upgraded.

Awesome gym, open 24/7, good $ and plenty of equipment. only con would be the open showers.

Decent pricing. It can get pretty crowded in the evening though.

Excellent gym... Very very friendly trainer... Love this place a lot...

Went here for two months while working in Melbourne. I absolutely love this gym and the price is excellent value.

$10 for a one time workout. Good old gym with pretty much every machine. No AC but you'll get a good workout. You pay for what you get.

i got big mussels

Amazing old school gym Lots of free weights and equipments If you thebone who like old school gym, there you go

CafeLeon across from the gym 350 flinders street. Open 7 days a week. Coffee on your way to the gym we will discount your coffee 50 cents hows that guys Smoothie bowls$ 10.00

They finally fixed that awful smell in the women's toilets. That was going on for months. Now it's actually a pleasant experience going to this gym for the $10 casual visits.

(Translated by Google) Excellent weight room located under the rails just before Flinders station. The equipment is old school but of good quality, very wide choice of dumbbells, many benches and not a crossfitter on the horizon. $ 10 a session in walkin. The only negative is the cleanliness of the room is passable. (Original) Excellente salle de musculation située sous les rails juste avant Flinders station. Le matériel est old school mais de bonne qualité , très large choix d haltères , beaucoup de bancs et pas un crossfiteur a l'horizon. 10$ la séance en walkin. Le seul point négatif est la propreté de la salle c'est passable .

The treadmill are really too old, making lots of noises, it’s really annoying people, and most of them are out of order too, didn’t see any replacement or repairs recently few months time.Running a business are not like this.very disappointed.

Great gym Great equipment Great rates

Great gym to workout seriously

Awesome vibe and top quality equipment. This gym has everything to cater for all training levels.

Proper no frills gym. Always open, great staff.

History History - this old style Gym oozes it - with the bunker style long rooms, the art on walls and a cast of characters passing though the doors all hours.... they don't make them like this anymore.

High time for an upgrade of equipment. Seriously, not a pleasant place to train. Dirt and grime all over the benches, decrepit machines going through discolouration. Some will say that all goes with a territory of a serious bodybuilding gym- Not the case, look at what they're doing at Muscle City in Mount Waverley. A serious bodybuilding gym doesn't need to be dirty and decayed.

Great gym for serious workout

$10 per visit and everyone is more ripped than I am, so this gym must be doing something correct.

??

Top gym with old school touch

been Going Here for the last 6 years since I moved to Melbourne and still my go to Gym when Times Are tough .

Excellent gym. Great atmosphere, excellent range of machines. Comfortable environment for women with other patrons focused on their workout (I’m yet to encounter any leery guys at Dohertys). Staffed 24/7. Very reasonable rates. Women’s bathrooms are recently renovated and consistently lovely and clean.

cool gym

Great range of equipment. Staff friendly and helpful

A convenient gym in the CBD especially for casal go-ers between work or university breaks. Only bad thing is they upped their casual rates from $10-$20 :(

A gym with pictures of Olympians plastered around is always a good gym. 88/100
