    Do NOT recommend coming here or signing up. Be careful of their contracts. Itโ€™s one of those things that they hide important details in the fine print. Called up to enquire as I started suddenly being charged even though I had called up months prior to cancel. Lady was very rude on the phone, asked for her name so I could follow up- wouldnโ€™t give it to me. Asked for the bosses name- wouldnโ€™t give it to me either. I was told โ€œif you want to speak to the boss come in and speak to him yourselfโ€ Do not sign any contracts with them as they will scam you! The person on the phone was very misleading and her response to the bad treatment and losing a longtime member was โ€œweโ€™re only losing one member itโ€™s not a big dealโ€. These people donโ€™t care about you- they just want your money. Honestly donโ€™t give these people your money. The lady I spoke to at the front desk worked 24/10/2022 at 9pm. So unprofessional & extremely disappointing considering I had been a member for so long.

    The gym is actually nice. There are a lot of machines, including same muscle group and different muscle group. The equipment is quite good but not very new, they do the job though. The daily pass is $5 now and around $300 a year. I recommend this gym as it is located on the highway so it's easily accessible, the machines are good, it's spacious, and the ceiling is high. Only I found it uncomfortable that the air conditioning hits some machines directly, which can be uncomfortable.

    When it comes to affordability/gym equipment this gym has it all however, the reasoning for my one star review is very simple and important. The culture of the gym and the people specifically the kids that the gym owner allows inside his establishment is horrible! By far the worst gym culture in Melbourne, if you can get past that welcome to unsanitary toilets 24/7 while the cleaners work very hard but again the people there do not care and show no respect or manners to anything or anyone around them. Avoid this place if you want to keep your sanity.

    Toilets filthy and music way to loud, got there at midnight to have a relaxing workout and the music is pumping like there's no tomorrow, asked the guy at the desk to turn the volume down two times. It seems like he turned it back up as soon as I walked back into the gym area No common sense...

    This gym has everything you need as well as the best meals, variety of pre workout drinks and remain to keep their entry prices low. Best value of money in Melbourne. Separate girls section that you can enter without passing through the main section. Girls section is large and has recently been extended in size.

    Big gym best range of equipment when working correctly. Toilet smells in cardio area seems like no ventilation duct work exiting the building. They really need new cleaners who know how to clean & use the correct chemicals to disinfectant the areas .

    Really good gym, its not only massive, but everyone is so nice, especially the employees. The boxing ring is also nice for sparring, it makes it really enjoyable. Edit: Sadly they removed the boxing ring a while back, but they do seem to be adding new machines, but still wish the boxing ring was there.

    Great Gym, Clean and well organised. Just wish it wasn't so loud in the mornings. Need to tone down the music. Most people wear headphones anyway and not paying attention to background music.

    The best gym withink a 50km radius from where i live, it has literally got any machine you need to workout every centimeter of your body. The customer service is very great and the gym is usually always clean. Really nice people all around, never had a bad experience here. The prices aren't really high as well, very decebtly priced for all the machines you get to play around. Although it's very vast with all the machines, however, it does get really busy after 3pm, I would reccomend going in the early morning. Overall a great place to go to workout and many parking spots there as well to utilise.

    staff are super friendly and helpful, owner is a gem of a man, the gym itself is very spacious and has ever single type of equipment you can think of, hence you won't be waiting for a machine even in busy periods, I've been going here for about 5 years now, and I can definitely say that they're the only gym that is always adding more and more equipment and consistently doing renovations to further improve the gym to satisfy the members and their experience. They're definitely undercharging for memberships and casual entry, in my opinion, the membership shouldn't be any less that $1k per year. So yeah, super happy with this gym, keep up the good work universal team ๐Ÿ’ช

  • 4/5 Angry 3. 10 months ago on Google
    In general, it's a good gym. - Equipment takes a while to get repaired. - Idiots parking in the entry and exit driveway as they are too lazy to walk a few extra steps. - Too many kids running around. - Toilets are kept nice and clean. - People at the front desk are friendly and polite, and the owner seems like a good bloke.

    Donโ€™t sign up to this gym!!! I tried to cancel my membership multiple times over the past year. The girls I spoke to on the phone said no worries we will cancel it for you or we will call you back. No call back and never cancelled it. I have lost so much money because this gym didnโ€™t cancel the membership when said to. I have had to go through my bank to block and stop the payments coming out of my account. Donโ€™t waste ur time signing up to a contract because all they do is steal your money.
