Active Monash - Glen Waverley (VIC)

5 /5 Shaun R: Very, very good across the huge range of programs they run. We particularly like the swim school as a stand out in the area. Staff are generally organised, professional and pleasant throughout, membership is really good value.

5 /5 Graham Bennett: I have purchased a membership at the Clayton Branch of Monash Active. I only use the Gym. The place is very well equipted and clean and the gym coaches are excellent. This is a great service by Monash Council

1 /5 Anjelica Andy Woo: Here is a draft for your negative review: I recently visited the aquatic center and was extremely disappointed with the sauna experience. It appears that the management has completely disregarded traditional sauna practices, which are not only cultural but also enhance the overall health benefits. The prohibition of adding water to the sauna stones—an essential step for creating steam and increasing heat—undermines the entire sauna experience. Furthermore, banning the use of natural oils, which are known for their therapeutic properties, takes away another significant aspect of the practice. What makes this even worse is the replacement of these traditions with a questionable and frankly absurd practice: placing laminated plastic instruction sheets on the hot sauna machine itself. This is not only out of place in a sauna setting but also potentially harmful, as plastic exposed to high heat can release toxic fumes. It felt like a cheap and ill-conceived attempt to enforce rules while neglecting customer experience and safety. The aquatic center has turned what should be a relaxing and revitalising activity into a frustrating and unappealing one. I strongly urge the management to reconsider these policies and return to traditional methods that honour sauna culture while maintaining safety in a smarter way. Until then, I cannot recommend this facility to anyone seeking a genuine and enjoyable sauna experience.

1 /5 Matt: This place keeps getting worse. Its bad enough that a council owned and operated pool is so expensive to enter, but to charge $10.80 for 1 corn dog and 2 Potato Cakes is ridiculous. Oh wait, then there is another $0.80 for a tiny tomato sauce sachet. Soy sauce is free, but they charge for the most common one. The after paying these ridiculous costs, you cant use the outdoor pool after 2pm, swimming lessons are still going in the middle pool and the large pool indoor has private booking in all of the recreational area. Do you think the entry price is discounted when you dont have access to 60% of the amenities? Nope. Still full cost and dont tell you about any of the closed areas. So disappointing, and if my Neurodivergent child wasnt obsessed with the wave pool, we would never come here.

5 /5 nazanin akhaei: I’ve been coming to this gym for about nine months. I had sessions with another trainer before, but a few months ago I met Marjan by chance, and she kindly helped me learn how to use the machines properly. Since then, I’ve had several sessions with her, and they’ve all been excellent. I had a meniscus tear injury, and thanks to Marjan’s training and guidance, my muscles have become much stronger and my pain has significantly reduced. I highly recommend her — she’s knowledgeable, caring, and truly dedicated to her clients’ progress.
