    Really great function fitness gym for men and women! The coaches are extremely welcoming, knowledgeable and supportive and the culture is inclusive and fun. I attend the women's gym and have seen my fitness improve ten fold since joining plus I've made new friends and feel part of a great little community.

    Besides the comraderie and friendship, I joined Roark Gyms in 2013, aged 42. Eight years of consistent work later, medically I fall way below sedentary women of my age for bone density, resting heart rate, immunity from illness, muscle strength and blood pressure. These extreme health benefits can be picked up from any age. A toned, lean, strong body will be your bonus.

    I've been going to Roark for more than 2 years now and it has completely changed how I see my body and fitness. They have 2 guided classes in the morning (6am & 7am) and 2 in the evening (5:30pm & 6:30pm).

    Roark Gym is a great place to train. The Personal trainers are super professional allowing you to really drive towards your goals. While still being friendly and helpful enough that you can feel comfortable even if you have never been to a gym before. If you are looking to achieve any fitness goals, this is a great place to go. The personal trainers will tailor a workout to perfectly fit your needs and you'll find yourself smashing those goals in no time.

    It's a beautiful gym place, so hygienic and specious. They have classes meaning it would be more beneficial for beginners. They also have classes for women only.

    I joined Roark in 2014 and it was such a great experience from the start - the learning curve of moving in new ways (ball slams felt really weird!) and the daily stiffness, coupled with new friendships - Roark was home . After 4 years, I left Roark with a heavy heart in 2018 due to a minor shoulder injury and took a break to focus on rehab. I tried Virgin Active but it didn't work for me at all so I rejoined Roark in Nov 2020 and it was the best decision I've made. The Roark coaches are knowledgeable and class sizes are small enough (20 ppl at the moment) to get focused attention and corrections on form. One of the perks of an all girls gym is that everyone is going through the same, and the sense of community is real. The best part of the gym is arriving, someone telling you what to do (that is well programmed and manageable but also a challenge) and you'll be surprised at how much you can do. Classes are 1 hour at 6am, 7am and 5pm and 6pm daily (except Saturdays when they are at 8am). There are also new midday classes. I highly recommend Roark - for anyone wanting to get moving.

    I have been going to Roark Classes for 9 weeks to this date. There is so much energy and power formed from the workouts created by top class coaches. The vibe is consistent and continues to pull through every class I go to! Every morning, it's exciting getting up and knowing that you are going to have a lekker time at Roark! My life hasn't been the same since I joined. I highly recommend you go for a free class and test it out for yourself 👌🔥.

    Such a rad gym! A lot of thought goes into making each session different and effective - this is the strongest I have ever felt thanks to Coach Frik.

    Great gym that will help you get into tip top shape.

    By far the best gym I’ve ever belonged to:) Roark always strives to keep things creative and interesting!

    Great gym. No bells and whistles, just a great community, amazing coaches and tough workouts. Extra great for training during pregnancy. 👌🏼

    I first joined Roark 8 years ago. The coaches and members are what makes the gym unique. The only thing that matters is that you show up and work hard. No one cares what number you hit or how fast you run. Roark offers a community to keep you on track and motivated. There's always someone to encourage you when you start feeling the fatigue. This is a welcoming space, whether you are starting out or at your peak.

    Roark is an excellent training community with the best trainers who are always supportive of every member. I have been training at Roark for four years. I love having only to focus on getting myself to the gym and not thinking about what workout to do or knowing beforehand what is on the menu for the day. And, of course, you push yourself harder when training with people than on your own!

    Roark gym is the perfect balance of cardio, strength and conditional training. Coach Frik is always keeping the programming fun, new and challenging in the girls gym. You will guarantee leave the gym stronger, fitter and happier (addicted)! I highly recommend incorporating Roark gym into your fitness regime if you want to get strong, fit and stay niggle free (especially for the runners).

    I joined Roark gyms in August 2020, thinking it would be temporary until Virgin Active opened up again. Little did I know that I would be hooked from my first session, and decided to end my VA membership the following day and sign up to Roark permanently. Just over a year later, many fitness goals achieved (and still to go) and I could not be more in love with this place. The coaches and members are beyond supportive and empowering. Roark is more than just a gym- it is a safe space, a community for all regardless of one's fitness levels. Joining Roark is one of the best decisions I have ever made and I would highly recommend it!!

    I've been an on-and-off Roark member since 2014 and have never found another gym that quite feels like home as I feel with Roark. The environment, equipment, coaches, and of course ladies who I train with are honestly the most incredible bunch around. The workouts are designed to accommodate every level of fitness, and are adjusted to support any injury or skill level. You are encouraged to improve yourself, and never as a competition against others (unless that's your thing). Training at Roark has changed the way I see health and fitness, and has improved my overall athletic ability, but especially with long distance running.
