Overpriced for what it is.. very minimal/ old machines. I had a run in with one of the “trainers” there who was slamming weights onto the machine I was using while I was mid set and eventually I gave him an annoyed look as a sign to cut it out. He then tried to pull a power move on me and told me to re-re rack my weights on the lower bar - might I mention there are no signs of this anywhere in the gym and not a single person does that. After leaving the review I had a staff member call who was very accommodating with canceling and tried to address the issue with this staff member which is very appreciated. Hopefully that staff member can get some feedback on how to improve their behavior in the gym.

With the first few months, I was spending about $530 a fortnight for a pt and membership that included everything besides crossfit, It was totally worth it! Spending an average of 3 to 4 hours, 4 to 5 days a week. Doing two to three classes in a row, followed by the ice bath and sauna. Felt like another home, and everyone was really friendly and made you feel welcome. Would have definitely stood out in the gym as being less in shape than most but never once felt like that was an issue. Only tripe would be the steam room... developed a fungal infection, and it increased the size of a cyst but I was using it quite often, so just be cautious. If you're after a one-stop shop for all your fitness and health needs, this is the place :) Shout out to Lenell. she was beyond fantastic with her yoga classes!!!

I have a very clearly displayed "No advertising materials" sign on my letterbox. Please do not continue to put advertising materials in my letterbox.

This review is strictly directed at the infrared saunas. Those things stink... Like really bad. Truely revolting. The rest of the plunges and stream rooms are quite nice, but the infrared chambers truely don't hold no secret about what has happened in there. Each one individually held a different henious flavour profile but they group together like the power rangers to form potentially one of the most dreadful smells I have smelt in my life time. After some time spent still in there the smell fades away until you mistakingly move you head, to which the smell invades your nose similar to the trojans at the gates of Greece. Try it yourself 😜

I signed up to this gym after hearing such great things and how close to home it was. However 1.5weeks in my 24/7 access wasn’t working and none of my calls were answered, I was told it would be fixed on numerous occasions and 2 weeks on still nothing. 4 week in I was being chased by debt collection company with no comment from Function Well regarding any attempt to resolve this matter.

Please, stop harassing with ads. It's been a year and a half since I walked in and out the facility. Although I unsubscribed and locked the harassing staff calling me and texting me 2-3 times at week to know wether or not I wanted to join the membership, I still receive your emails with ads. Yes, I unsubscribed and already done long time ago.

I've joined many gyms over the years, and this is one of the best. The facilities are extensive, frequently updated and well maintained and include comprehensive recovery areas. Classes are varied and include everything from Crossfit (in the Athletic Zone downstairs) to yoga and pilates. The staff and trainers are also amazing. What really makes this gym stand out, however, is the incredible dedication that Darren and his crew have towards their community and its wellbeing. Function Well conducts a range of special events over the course of the year to support its clients and the broader community. During the COVID-19 lockdowns in 2020, the gym froze membership fees for clients but the crew still ran online classes and workshops to encourage people to stay active. Going the extra mile is what makes Function Well stand out in a crowded market. If all you are after is a fitness centre with a well maintained gym, extensive classes and good facilities then you can't go wrong, and if you're looking for a friendly, like minded community to train with then Function Well is definitely worth a look!

One if not the best gyms I've been to. The facilities are amazing and the classes are incredible. Highly recommend their body conditioning class. If I lived closer I would have stayed. Also, best of all they don't have dodgy sales people and tactics like other gyms.

I have tried several gyms over the years and this is by far the best gym experience I’ve ever had. The facility is world class, it’s everything you need and more. The community presence is certainly fostered and present within the gym, which I really like. And as such, the members are polite and encouraging to each other - there are no big egos here, and no judgement. All the staff are so friendly and welcoming - I even had someone offer to unrack my weights for me after my last set as they were walking by! My next move is to engage a PT to further my goals - I’m excited!

Function Well has exceeded my expectations. The CrossFit coaching team is exceptional, and it's a place where you can challenge yourself, grow, and be part of a supportive community. I've met like-minded individuals who share a passion for fitness, making it an inspiring and motivating environment. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking an outstanding fitness experience.

Very well run facility and fantastic place to train in everyday. I highly recommend joining. Thanks FW Team

The restoration zone at this wellness centre is a separate area from the gym. It's definitely worth a visit. The 10 degree stand up pool revitalised anything in my body that wasn't working before. A great place to interchange from steam sauna, dry sauna and the infer red sauna with 4 showers to clean between sessions. It's a small area to pass by everyone and unisex complete share zones. Its a little pricey at $55 a casual day pass however the $99 for the week is better value if you are local for a short stay. The friendly young staff members were bubbly and helpful. Thank you

This is an awesome gym. The facilities are top notch the staff are great and the infrared sauna and ice bath is awesome. Highly recommended

Great training facility that cater for all levels of fitness and health restoration needs that you won't find in your standard 24hour gyms. Great culture with friendly staff and trainers that are there to assist.

This an amazing healthy centre. The staff are really kind and professional, the classes are innovative and their equipments are perfect. Jackson sold me the plan and he has been really kind and helpful since I started here, he never changed his attitude. Jess is other member always is smiling, they are really nice crew.

Joined Function Well last October and have enjoyed every visit to the gym. The space is filled with tons of natural light and all the facilities have been kept immaculate. Staffs are always friendly greeting you at the door and all the trainers in the gym are very encouraging and helpful. Definitely would recommend the gym for everyone.

Easily the best gym in Brisbane! I shopped around before joining Function Well and they were by far superior for service, facilities, and community feel. I've since been a member for almost a year and I'm always greeted with a smile, the coaches make me feel so welcome whether I'm doing a class or on the gym floor and I feel very much part of the Function Well family.

I have been apart of the Function well community for more than 2 year’s and I’ve loved every bit of it. Walking into the doors the front desk team make you feel right at home, the performance coaches are the most knowledgeable and personable I’ve seen and not to mention the always updating and amazing equipment they have to offer. A true five star facility!

Staff and coaches really know their stuff. Function Well will guide you along your fitness and wellness journey whether you're beginning for the first time, beginning again, or already a high performer.

I am no gym guru so when I stumbled across Function Well a short three months ago I was ready for motivation, positivity and a wealth of knowledge to come my way! Not only has FW helped me build strength and nutritional knowledge, the team have really helped me maintain a healthy balance within myself! From the moment you walk in the door, you're greeted with a smile and positive attitude and that continues through the whole gym and resonates with every member, trainer and associate to the gym. Thanks team for being outstanding! I love our FW family!

Function Well isn’t just a gym, it truly is a community! I’ve been training at FW for nearly 3 years and really is like my second home. Incredible staff, encouraging coaches, awesome facilities and an amazing vibe. I’ve been lucky enough to make some incredible friendships within the FW community and there is always something happening – monthly challenges, workshops, events. Honestly, hands down the best gym in Brisbane!

It took me 6 months to realise that function well were debiting my account at $120 per month which is not what I signed up for at all (I’d elected the gym floor package only). They have a shady relationship with a 3rd Party that is responsible for the debits, which in my view has been deliberately created to create confusion and enable them to carry on with this sort of thing. My advice would be to find a more honestly operated gym, and there are plenty in the area. To clarify, I had another gym membership when I signed up here and have been a regular gym user for 7-8 years. So I knew exactly what I was signing up for. Incidentally, when I came in to sign up, I actually had a friend with me who can verify what I have stated here. Some of the staff are very nice, but I don’t think the owner or whomever is running the place is very honest and so I would not recommend it.

These sub humans that attempt to run an overpriced gym seem to think it’s their GOD given right to just ignore cancelation requests then keep attempting debits into infinity and then send you to a collections agency like they are trying to recoup a product they’ve sold you that you’ve stiffed them on. How about no guys. Stare down threatening emails for a month to month gym membership. Do you actually think threatening peoples credit records over a few hundred bucks of GYM MEMBERSHIPS is how to do business pooooor effort and I’ll fight tooth an nail and win if you try. Pathetic place to join Update. Since their reply they referred a $900 debt to a collections agency. Absolute snakes!! Haven’t set foot in here since November 2021

Best full service gym in Newstead by far. 24hrs with all equipment you could ever ask for, countless classes for all levels and then the only place in the area with a recovery zone that has saunas and ice baths 10/10

Here is another 5 star review for an awesome gym and to counteract the low test moves of people that leave negative reviews. Of all the people that should be hitting the gym….. it’s them!

Great gym. They really need to gurney out their steam room and sauna though.

Best holistic gym in Brisbane! I love combining CrossFit with Pilates, Yoga and 24/7 access to sauna, ice bath, massage chair and other Recovery tools. Darren, Tash and the team go out of their way to make your experience the very best a gym can offer 💪

I joined Function Well several months ago. I enjoy the community, I go to coffee after classes with a bunch of other gym people. I enjoy the classes and all the equipment.

Best gym in Brisbane. Love the holistic approach to incorporating health through fitness, community and recovery. Always feel comfortable entering the gym.

My 5 star review is purely a reflection of the variety of class options available for members at FW. The Reformer Pilates instructors and class options are excellent, please keep it up! My only criticism is the yoga classes. Don't get me wrong the yoga class options are excellent and the instructors are even better, but it's not ideal that the yoga room is right above the Cross Fit area and the cross fit/yoga classes seem to regularly be going on at the exact same time if not always especially on weekdays. The cross fitters are pretty loud from the weights continuously being slammed and the music (like a nightclub!!) playing which feels distracting from the yoga practice. I still go to the yoga classes despite this and try to tune it out as much as possible, but unfortunately it's not as good or zen of an experience as it could be having the cross fit classes/area below. Definitely an opportunity for improvement though. Maybe could consider optimising the class times a bit with an aim to not have yoga and cross fit classes going simultaneously which may eliminate the noise and distractions for those attending the yoga classes.

Did a strength conditioning with Boston and he was so nice, so knowledgeable with the exercises and explained it well. He made us feel comfortable and we had a lot of fun!! Pushed us to challenge ourselves to go beyond our limits. 100% would recommend! Such a beautiful boutique gym as well.

I have been a part of the Function Well community for over 7 years now, and their dedication to constant improvement of their facilities and service is second to none. The new gym that has opened is an incredible space and is testament to the hard work and vision the whole Function Well team has for years. I wanted to congratulate everyone on the smooth transition to the new space.

Just completed an amazing Reformer Pilates class with Dana… especially love the way she includes stretching and mindful intention setting to close the session. Leaving feeling grateful 🥰

This gem of a place is so fabulous I don't want to tell people so it becomes really popular but cannot help talking about how good it is as I am noticeably happier (and browner) since joining. I got the add on spray tan price per week. 25 dollars is a steal for unlimited tans 24/7 access. It has the best colours you can get in two hour tans and with unlimited tans you can get an extra cheeky coat on your legs etc. You can go late at night when an event pops up or if you just need a bit of a pep up and not have to walk around in shame brown after lol. The gym facilities are exceptional. It feels amazing driving into such a nice building. It is also super safe as I am a female who goes quite late. They have literally thought of everything. I got the yin and yang and you are crazy if you don't get the restore facilities - luxury worth every penny. Superior to any bathhouse, cleaner, and well set up with a private feel. It also has way more - the massage chairs are so good! I didn't even know such good quality ones existed! Even after a few days the difference in my well-being has been noticed by everyone. It is the only gym which has me actually motivated to attend and alone! I go because I want all the relaxation services but end up actually working out. I cannot wait to explore more. All the other people seem nice and the staff are so lovely. Best life choice in 2023 and that is a big call!

Having used the facilities at Function Well for a few weeks now including the group fitness classes and restoration zone this is definitely the best fitness facility I have used. The staff have been so welcoming and knowledgeable on their holistic approach to wellness.

Been here two years after my move from Total Fusion. Unreal experience. Staff, vibe and community are unmatched! 6 stars if I could.

I can honestly say that this is head and shoulders above any other gym that I’ve ever stepped foot into. I’ve been a CrossFit coach and trained at multiple facilities. But function well is incredible. An amazing community, well managed and such a great atmosphere. It has everything you could possibly want, it has things you need that you didn’t even know you need. Free hypervolts for use by members, a full restoration zone complete with a sauna, ice bath, steam room, meditation room, guided meditation headsets, yoga, Pilates and stretch classes. Epic group workout room with HIIT, metcon and Boxing classes that are run professionally and always have an epic atmosphere. A great CrossFit box with knowledgeable coaches and a full suite of really well trained personal trainers. Upstairs has a full 24hr gym with all the proverbial bells and whistles. 🔥 Love this place!

I have trained at Function Well/Athletic Zone for over 4 years, and now also use the Restoration Zone as well. It is a great place to train and be part of an inspirational community. All the coaches are very professional and welcoming, and push you hard within your limits; it comes highly recommended

Great gym wellness centre a real highlight

Without a doubt the best value for money gym I have ever been to. The facilities and equipment are second to none, with the most courteous and professional staff in the game. The Bain's have done a great job of instilling their values across the board. Well done guys.

Function Well is the epicentre of the wellbeing in Brisbane. It's a friendly environment where people reset and enhance their bodies, minds and spirts radiating the positive energy gathered in their work places, homes and every walks of life.

Definitively the most comprehensive health and wellness facility in Brisbane! Great team of staff and performance coaches, welcoming environment and the Restoration Zone takes my training to the next level.

I have been training at functionwell since 2015 and it’s been one of my staples for the past 5 years. I love the holistic offerings and the community that is there. Hand down best facility I have ever been to

Function Well is an amazing warming environment. You walk in those doors feeling right at home and not nervous. I could not recommend a better and more welcoming Gym

Function Well is a gym like no other! From the equipment, to classes, staff and the community, everything goes above and beyond your expectations. There is such a warm and welcoming friendly environment, you will never want to train anywhere else!

I have been a member of FunctionWell for almost 3 years and it’s completely transformed my relationship with fitness. The facilities, staff, coaches, equipment and community is second to none! The team put a lot of work into listening to member feedback to improve the class offering, facilities and events. As a result, it just keeps getting better and better. There is something here for everyone and you will find your fitness people!

Four years ago, after becoming bored and unmotivated at a local commercial gym, I received the “gift of health”. It was excellent value for money and I haven’t looked back. I feel right at home when I am inside Function Well with the friendly environment. I share the same philosophy which makes training fun. I am now stronger, fitter and much more flexible then I have been previous. I now live in the burbs with serval 24/7 gyms in walking distance but can’t imagine training anywhere else. I can’t recommend Function Well highly enough! It is more than a gym. The ice bath is the best!

I have been going to Function Well for 8 years and have never found a better gym anywhere. The atmosphere they have created is the most welcoming and comfortable of any gym I have been to.

Pretty good gym. Lots of variety of equipment and with multiples of popular equipment. Well equipped change rooms. Nice and helpful staff. The downsides, a good portion of the weight plates are old and falling apart and there is plenty of quackery pushed with talk of detox's and supplements as far as the eye can see.

Terrible customer service. Rude and poorly trained employees. Not s great experience and expensive for what it is. There are so many good gym options - go for a different one.

I have only been a member for a month now but I am loving it so much!! Great sauna and ice bath facilities, yoga and classes :)

Well equipped gym with friendly staff

This gym is the best I have ever been to! I have been a FW member for almost 3 years and the one thing I absolutely love about it apart from the amazing staff, trainers and friendly members is that it is ever evolving and improving. Darren the owner listens to his members and is always striving to improve and give us members the best quality health experience focusing on exercise for all levels of fitness with fun and challenging classes and also restoration of the body! Which is something many gyms lack on. It’s a truely balanced environment and my happy place! 😀

Was here in December 2019. I literally have no words for the attitude and treatment I got from the guy at the front desk. Basically looked me up and down and laughed at me. Was dismissive of my queries. Waiting for 10 minutes to ask for membership details and ended up walking out. Just stay away. There are lots of gyms in the area go ANYWHERE else!!!

Great gym to smash it out

I can’t say how grateful I am to be in such an energetic, friendly and creative space working on my health and fitness. I’ve been greeted with nothing but love and support every time I’m in the club. The class instructors are all fantastic, the amenities are state of the art and the fellow patrons a pleasure to be around. You should be proud of yourself and your team for running such a spectacular venue! Oh and the entire staff are always friendly and supportive too! It’s my pleasure to be a member.

Without a doubt the best gym in Brisbane. Inspiring, encouraging, challenging, fun. Made me the fittest I’ve ever been!

Hands down the best gym I have been a member of. Employees are all super friendly and helpful. Equipment is very well maintained and the classes are great!

One of the most supportive, friendly and encouraging fitness centres I've ever experienced. Function well is so much more than a gym, the amazing community, staff and facilities are second to none. Special shout out to trainers JP and Jack for their awesome classes.

Great place

Best gym in Brisbane.

Beautiful gym, in great location. Love everything about this place EXCEPT they aren't catering for my particular bent of fitness (powerlifting). And I don't have a problem with that, given they don't have to be a gym for everyone. Their business, after all. Even so, I would train here full time if my own gym wasn't closer. Fantastic place EDIT: Because I can't respond to the owner comments below, it would seem I may have misjudged them. I will have to try their athletic zone (A place I did not see) to give a more comprehensive review of their catering for strongman/powerlifting

Wonderful selection of equipment. Great bar set up if you are into calisthenics.

The first thing I found about this gym was I don't t feel anxious about going there. It is the one of the most welcoming places I've been and not just for gyms. The staff are all very friendly and helpful, making sure you feel comfortable using the equipment no matter what level of fitness you have. The coaches have helped pushed me to do things I would have never thought I could do before signing up her. Definitely can't recommend this gym enough.

I've recently signed up for this gym, it has been an incredible experience, especially with the restoration zone that has great YOGA classes and Pilates. Function well is a well-equipped gym with a different concept than average gyms around the area.

Watch the wirld go by while you work out

Fantastic fym right in newstead

I really love coming here great energy and staff

I've been a member now for about 6 months and I only do the classes (HIIT and MetCon). After a lifetime of flopping about in different fitness activities, the FW group classes are by far the best habit I've ever made. All of your trainers do a terrific job with no two classes exactly the same to date. JP and Isaac host most of my classes and they are both absolutely brilliant. I actually look forward the the beatings they dish up. As a result I'm no doubt the fittest I've ever been (now at 45yo) and loving it. Kudos for creating such a great environment to train in.

Poor gym for $40 per week membership. Rude staff. Weights are old and need to be repaired.

You can't beat their customer service. Absolutely amazing!
