Find the Best 15 Gym Near You: Top Fitness Centers in Altona North, Victoria

Daneil Doyle Rise MMA is hands down the best gym I’ve trained at. The coaches are legends – super knowledgeable, patient, and they genuinely care about helping everyone improve, no matter your level. The vibe is friendly and welcoming, and the team culture is awesome. The classes are tough but fun, and I’ve noticed massive improvements in my skills and fitness since joining. If you’re looking for a place to train Jiu-Jitsu, MMA, or just get fitter with good people, this is the spot!

Paul Harrison At the tender age of 46, I decided to join Rise MMA and learn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Without a shadow of a doubt, it was the best new venture I have undertaken in the last 7 years! Learning a practical martial art is awesome but what else Rise has given me is: - Access to a GREAT new community of friends of great character (as an immigrant to Aus, I didnt know a lot of people) - A hobby that keeps me fit but also allows me to train at my own rate - An ability to think clearly, even when under pressure - massive life skill. - A foundation for making more healthy choices in life, like eating healthy food and staying out of the pub on a Friday night - Helped me lose 30kgs! ...and a whole lot more. My only regret is that I didnt start with Rise sooner because I was letting all of the normal excuses get in the way ( like: "I need to get fit first", "I am too old" or "I am too busy"... etc etc) The people who train there are incredible, the connection you form with people from all different backgrounds and walks of life is brilliant and we all have the common goals of progressing and supporting each other. The coaches are extremely knowledgeable, supportive, have a great way of training the techniques, have great senses of humour and are very very patient ( which "Slow learners" like myself are deeply appreciative of!) If youre looking for a martial art, increased self-confidence, motivational fitness environment, new group of friends and community, I absolutely recommend Rise MMA. Its more than just a Martial Arts club, its a community and its the best decision I have made in a long long time. See you on the mats! :-)

Sandra Vargas Loving my classes with Cinz as it’s such a beautiful relaxed atmosphere the studio is immaculate and my body is feeling so much stronger, mobile and 100% more balanced The classes are structured so well that every class is different and exciting and so much fun Cinzia is such a beautiful professional inspiring Teacher love attending her classes

Vanessa Bell Three months ago, I felt weak and unfit, so my partner and I joined Cinzia’s two-person Pilates class. I didn’t want to feel overwhelmed, and the small size made it feel personal and focused. I’m now stronger, my posture is getting better, and the tightness is easing. Cinzia is motivating, clearly loves what she does, and knows how to challenge you without ever pushing too hard. Every session is different—and we actually look forward to the next one.

Janine Ponnadurai Supermovement is the real deal in supporting strong and flexible bodies. Head coach Janis approach to training for well-being and flexibility supported me through injury, pregnancy and post pregnancy. Additional Coach Jacqs functional strength programming Her program is interesting, her attention to detail is great even early in the morning and she is friendly but outcome focused and coaches to improve form and capacity in a supportive way that that works for me. I look forward to her sessions even at 6am and feel great for the rest of the day!

Anthea McQueen The Super Movement team have been amazing in building up my strength around injury. I was low on confidence with exercising before finding this studio but all the instructors are skilled in tailoring and continually evolving a program that is both comfortable and challenging. Highly recommend.

Trent Kennedy SRSC has the BEST community. Incredible equipment and even better coaches. Would recommend for anyone at any level (powerlifting, bodybuilding or just wanting to get strong for fun)!

Lily Riggs SR is a great place to be apart of! The community of the gym makes it worth going. Coach Ed has helped me overcome my issues with regular training and worked with my limitations from my battle with chronic illness. Not only is my coach Ed very knowledgeable and supportive of all goals around lifting, wellbeing and fitness, the other coaches and members of the gym are the biggest supporters inside and outside the gym! It is a very sensory accommodating and understanding place with several opportunities to be apart of the wider gym community at lifting events and social outings! Everyone should give SR Strength Collective a go because I guarantee they will have a different view on Powerlifting after it :)

Chris Nguyen Ive been attending this gym for more than a decade. They have a wealth of knowledge and are consistently eager to share it with their members, the instructors are not only highly skilled but are also passionate about teaching and guiding their members. The atmosphere is incredibly welcoming and everyone is friendly. If your looking to learn Muay Thai in a supportive and challenging environment this gym is definitely worth checking out.

Cindy Huynh Ive been training at 8 Blades for over 2 years now and Im so happy that I made the move. Boy and Dom are truley the best in the Muay Thai scene. They have built such a supportive and friendly community that push you to be the best version of yourself. Could not recommend enough!

Suheri Purnomo Matt is an outstanding personal trainer who has helped me achieve my goals of increasing strength and endurance. Despite having been going to the gym for many years, I wanted a more bespoke solution to target my specific needs. Matt’s expertise and personalised approach have been exactly what I needed. He’s pushed me to new levels, constantly challenging and motivating me to reach my full potential. Thanks to Matt, I’ve seen significant improvements in both my strength and endurance, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dedicated and knowledgeable personal trainer.

John Milker Working with Matt at Fortify Fitness has been an incredible experience. After 20 years away from the gym and dealing with serious injuries and mobility issues, I was hesitant to start again. However, Matt’s expertise, patience, and encouragement have been invaluable. He pushes me just the right amount, always challenging me to be my best self while being mindful of my limitations. Thanks to him, I’m not just getting back in shape, I’m surpassing my own expectations. I couldn’t recommend him more highly!

Jay Guillen Clean, Spacious gym, came down for sparring and enjoyed it. Staff are very welcoming with a lot of knowledge.

Tanya Molloy Great gym, great PT trainers. If I could I would give them 10/10.

R I have been training with Jared for 6 months and it is the best decision Ive ever made. In that time, Jared has made me not only a fitter and stronger person but also much more motivated and disciplined which benefits my life in so many ways. Jared has a passion and knowledge of fitness that is second to none. He has tailored a training program and nutrition plan specifically to my needs. The program is constantly updated, which provides variety and keeps me feeling challenged and motivated. In addition to all this, Jared is a great guy who is so easy to get along with. I cant recommend Bushido Strength Hub enough!

Lachlan Caldwell I’ve been training with Jared for almost 2 years now, and believe he is one of the most experienced & committed coaches in Melbourne. As an online client I really enjoyed the variety & challenge Jared puts into each program. Always taking into account my feedback from our weekly check ins, sculpting each 4 week block around that, whilst pushing me to get the most out of myself. Jared is focused on helping me achieve my goals and makes every session challenging (& somehow fun). My fitness, physique and strength have all improved noticeably and I’ve seen huge progression in my ability to lift heavier weights & generally push myself harder throughout each session. I find I actually look forward to my workouts. Importantly: - Jared ensures that my technique is always correct to avoid any injuries. (So much so that when I started training with him, i went back to absolute basics to adjust my technique in all compound lifts) - Jared is extremely reliable & punctual when I do do PT sessions– always set up & ready to start training ahead of time, with an exercise routine planned, as well as extremely punctual for our weekly check in calls - calling me at exactly 6pm each Tuesday evening to see how the weeks been/progressing - Jared is extremely passionate about what he trains and teaches his clients, going all in on each and everyone who train under him I am competing in my first powerlifting competition in 4 weeks, I would never have though this would be possible prior to training with Jared. I thoroughly enjoy training at Bushido Strength and would recommend Jared & his team to anyone looking to improve their Strength & fitness with a dedicated & knowledgeable group of coaches.

Laura Mundy Best gym in the west! I cant recommend Leo highly enough for training. He knows his stuff and makes you feel so safe and included in the amazing community hes created there. If you have a dog, partner, baby, all of the above that you want to train with, he welcomes you all with open arms. Definitely get into headstrong gym if youre looking for a gym in the western suburbs.

Michael Parker Headstrong is an excellent gym. Really enjoy working out here. The trainer Leo really knows his stuff and does a great job of breaking down exercises and focusing on correct form. Every day is a fresh workout which keeps it engaging and the community here is friendly and welcoming. Would highly recommend!

Krishna Reddy D Very big and all kinds of entertainments for kids

J J Building is like walking into a freezer and couldn’t access any bathrooms because the walkways don’t fit wheelchairs. Had to be driven to the McDonald’s up the road. It is pretty disgusting in 2025 not to have disabled or parent facilties. Step your game up Westgate!

Christopherthetummy My 5 year old daughter loves going to swim school here as the teachers are so good and really take time in teaching the kids as my daughter has really excelled in her swimming

Chloe Pretty good place could be a little better but overall a great place

D Nais Absolutely LOVE our Altona North Flex & Flow Studio. Really awesome instructors, where all classes have options/ cueing levels you can take, dependant on your experience . A lovely community. A+++.

Ariel Beninca Really great class! I enjoyed the exercises and movements—they were easy to follow without being too complicated, which made the session flow really well. I also love that class times are at 7am—that’s the perfect time for me, so I’m very happy. Highly recommend!

Robin Khalil If your new to the gym or looking at starting your fitness journey/or an experienced gym goer looking to up your game and needing guidance, coach Abs from Sphinx is the man to see! I LOST 60KGS AND ADDED A HEAP OF MUSCLE WITH THE HELP OF COACH ABS! From a PRIVATE clean, neat and tidy gym with all the equipment you need, to a great culture and loads of help from all their friendly coachs, I couldnt recommend them more to anyone. Thank you to the Sphinx team, especially coach Abs for investing your time in me and helping me achieve my goals. To many more sessions and goals to achieve!

Sam Barber Abs is the best in the business. Highly recommend. He is accomodating and friendly and I get a great work out every time. Thank you!

Lennon McGrath I’ve been training with Matt for about four years now, and it’s been an incredible journey. In that time, I’ve not only achieved but well surpassed my original weight loss goal. Matt challenges me to improve my strength, keeping each session engaging and rewarding. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a dedicated and experienced trainer!

Suheri Purnomo I’ve been working out with Matt since 2023, and it has been an amazing experience. He’s an incredible coach who has helped me with everything from correcting my form to gradually building up my strength. He’s always patient, pushing me to reach higher goals while ensuring I stay safe and maintain proper technique. One of the things I truly appreciate is how easy he is to talk to. He creates a welcoming, supportive environment where I feel comfortable and motivated to improve. I’ve made great progress under his guidance, and I’m excited to continue working with him!

Daniel Chang Bridget is a fantastic coach and knows how to push you towards achieving your goals and maximize your strength gains. She’s also a heap of fun and super chill as a person, so it makes training sessions lots of fun! 10/10 would recommend.
