I've lived in the Carlton area since 2018 and I've been a member since that time. The gym and pool are good and the staff simply excellent. My trainer Emily is fantastic and has helped me on my weight loss journey (I lost 22 kgs in 3 years). They've been supportive through the lockdowns as well and very helpful for me to get back on track. I'm writing this review after all this time because this morning after a night of thunderstorms and a burst water mains led to a water outage in my apartment block, I called the Carlton baths to check if they had water for me to come shower - and they said absolutely! I said I was a member and they said even if you weren't, you're welcome to come and use the facilities. This was a young staff member called Mia. Really excellent values, LGBT friendly, warm and inclusive space. Much recommended! Only wish the pool was open all year around but that's a small issue. I'll be sad when I move away.

Looking forward to a refreshing lap swim on a warm afternoon to find the outdoor pool heated to more than 30 degrees. Is it a spa or a lap pool? Ridiculous temperature and needless waste of heating gas in an ever warming atmosphere.

Great gym, small but has everything you need from a free weight perspective - squat rack, free weights plates, dumbbells etc. Would return Day pass is around 20 AUD

Great centre with lots of new equipment. Good to see that local government is spending money where it is needed. Garry Aspect Property Photography https://www.aspectpro.com.au/

If you are an adult without children and want to enjoy a pool on a hot day, this is not the place for you. Kids spread out over the entire pool which is not big, no room for anyone else to enjoy.

Wow staff at the front desk are unacceptably rude. Customer service is severely lacking. Not hard to be friendly to customers simply paying an entry fee sheeeesh.

Haven't been there yet, but they r giving us homeless (but not Thx to launch housing) free use of the pool. How cool is that. Thx Carlton baths xx

I was going there pre-winter lovely pool to swim in. Lovely pool for the kids to splash around in - great gym and facilities and various classes. Friendly staff.

Good place to have a dip, sauna and spa in the heart of the city. While this place may not have all the flash and shine of a modern gym/pool/spa, it's a Melbourne classic. Very affordable for causal visits.

I attended a rollerskating group session last week and very impressed with the facilities especially the indoor gym! It was a lovely venue and easily accessible.

I've been trying to book a badminton court with them since 3 weeks now. Everytime I call, I am told the court is available. Always followed by an email from them changing availability. Multiple modifications from Carlton baths making it impossible to book the court!!! $58 an hour for a badminton court is apparently the rate now from 2 weeks ago when I was informed it was $27.90 an hour!!! Steep much?

Great pool! Shame that management charge you $4 to supervise your children swimming! Doesn’t make a lot of sense to me. Thought they would want to encourage supervision!! Makes life easier on pool guards and a lot safer. Money hungry Melb Council!

Very comfortable place and friendly staff!

Booked the stadium for volleyball. Found the courts clean, staff were helpful and kind, and there were water fountains available.

Good pool but often has capacity issues and no ability to track patron numbers other than random and lengthy head counts.

This place has done such a wonderful job looking after member needs with all the ongoing lockdowns. As a member, they consistently take care to manage services, and member payments, accurately whenever closures are in place. It must be hard and frustrating for the dedicated staff here, but when we’re allowed back after every lockdown, they are always so welcoming to their members!

This is such an amazing Centre, super clean pool, very friendly and helpful staff. My go to pool when visiting the city

Highly recommend Danny Wilson the original RoyBoy - awesome encouraging trainer. Great facilities for the best price in town

Very irresponsible staff allowing teenagers to come in with small kids to the water without parents Present I told the staff that there was a four year old in the water alone without a parent. teenage boy looking after five kids I just saw the danger and stuff did not kick them out of the water so Disappointed

Disgustingly warm water in the middle of a hot summer! Felt like we were swimming in a bath of thick soup. Little to no shelter. UPDATE 6 hrs later , kid has Gastro! What a 🤬coincidence!!

The pool is 25 metres and very well kept, it's a shame it isn't open all year around. The gym is very new but does clearly have an imbalance of types of equipment. You can easily stand about waiting to use weights in busy times, yet there are many running machines that aren't always used. There are some excellent staff in gymnasium that are always willing to help, but unfortunately there are some that are not so helpful who would rather hide in an office and act busy rather than trying to help and offer advice on techniques when you have requested them to do so. If you live locally it's worth giving it a go to see what you think.
