This gym is fantastic. I've been boxing here for nearly six months after numerous recommendations from friends. The staff are very knowledgeable and make a real effort to make everyone feel comfortable and welcome. As a trans person who has a complicated relationship to food and exercise, I'm extremely selective with gyms and trainers - but Justin and Enzo have always made me feel respected and safe. I ride from Fawkner past quite a few closer gyms to train here.

It’s like someone built the garage gym you could never hope to afford or have the space for, and then that gym had a baby with an old school fight gym. It’s a truly unique and wicked space to train in. Enzo is a legend.

Best gym and management

Super friendly and egoless gym with everything you need including some great classes. And all incredibly affordable. If you don't want naff motivational quotes/protein shakes/heart rate competition vibes but still quality service and equipment, then this is the place for you

As somebody who has never been into going to the gym, urban athletic has felt like a home. The owners Enzo and Alex are always around and available for help. They have both given me some sound advice and I have never felt intimidated in this gym. They have a wealth of knowledge and you can tell because they themselves are in the gym lifting everyday. The boxing with Dan is amazing, he is so passionate and encouraging to all his students. He always takes the time to explain proper technique and is so, so generous with his time. I can’t recommend this gym and the boxing program enough!!! Love you guys!!!

The gym has the best friendly and inclusive environment I have ever experienced in a gym. Enzo, the owner, is very professional and always available if needed. Den runs his boxing class very well. it’s a great starting point to learn how to boxe. I highly recommend this place!!!!!

Without a doubt the best gym I have been to, the boxing and HIT classes are both great, and the entire gym has a great atmosphere.

Awesome gym to lift heavy in, Saturday strongman day is great. The trainer there provides a really great service and is one of the best personal trainers I have dealt with. Justin is really knowledgeable about boxing, posture and rehabilitation exercises. I drive an hour to Brunswick just to train at this gym.

A really nice environment to workout in! Ivana and the other trainers are super helpful and knowledgeable, facilities are great and the group classes are challenging (ugh). The perfect place for experienced and new gym-goers alike :)

Great gym, i've been to a lot of the other main stream and plenty of smaller gyms in the area and the vibe here is 10/10. The staff are always smiling and are happy to check in on your progress. The other gym goers are also equally as welcoming to each other. I love being able to go in during odd hours and get the whole place to myself at times. There are showers so you can head straight from there to somewhere else if need be, and people put stuff away after use! Peak time can get busy like most places, but its never stopped me from being able to finish a workout.

I LOVE this joint! Practical and down to earth, Justin is the best personal trainer I've ever trained with! He's patient, encouraging and always incredibly helpful, and amazingly generous with his time. I can't recommend him or this gym more! I used to be a member of one of the big chain gyms, and trained with the PTs there. I would never, never consider going back. I love the personal attention I get working here, and the knowledge that Justin cares about the health and fitness of every single person he trains, rather than just trying to get more names on the books. Best little gym in existence!

Favorite gym so far! Totally non-judgmental environment and both customers and the owner, Enzo are really respectful. You can just go and do your thing and be left alone or ask for guidance if needed and Enzo is always so friendly and willing to help. The place is always so clean, great set up and all the equipment is super good quality. My favorite part was having access to the punching bags whenever I needed

The most welcoming gym experience. Beautiful community vibe, extremely friendly staff, never crowded. Perfect for those who might be a bit weary of big gyms!

I’ve been working out there a few weeks and am loving it! Very relaxed vibe and helpful team of staff. I’ve tried PT, classes and working out on my own and can warmly recommend all. The staff are great and you genuinely feel like they enjoy it and want to help you. There’s a diverse crowd and zero judgement.

Great value for money. Friendly staff, all the equipment you need, fun classes and a really convenient location.

Great gym run by a very enthusiastic and knowledgeable personal trainer! Justin is very fun to train with even when he is making you work your ass off! Will definitely be training here in the future, being on Victoria street just adds to the extra excitement! Keep it up guys!

I signed up to Urban Athletic after being recommended by a friend and have no regrets! This place is easy to navigate and has many options for weight lifting, cardio or classes without being overwhelming or intimidating. Friendly and easy going kind of place which is what I wanted in a gym. Highly recommend Alex for personal training - Not only is he personable and attentive, he is brings a wealth of knowledge to every lift and gladly breaks down each movement in an easy to follow way. I've enjoyed my time at Urban Athletic so far and cannot wait to continue progressing my fitness here!

I’ve never enjoyed going to a gym until I joined here. It’s the most welcoming place, with genuinely kind people and a relaxed atmosphere where I never feel intimidated or judged. The playlists are decent and the place is always clean. I can’t recommend Alex as a PT highly enough. He’s been the most chill, supportive and encouraging trainer I’ve ever had, and I’m so happy with my progress over the last few months. I didn’t realise I was capable of enjoying lifting weights!

I've been training with Alex for over a year now and he's been absolutely terrific. He tailed my workouts to help me achieve my goals and it's fittest I've felt in years. The overall gym is very welcoming, no egos, just people on their fitness journeys doing their thing. Highly recommend
