Steven Diston Very welcoming atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff. It has a unique character that the franchise gyms lack. Shout out to all the awesome staff : Jack, Oliver, Mason, Bec, Amelia, Tony and Sav

brooke werner I started my journey with OB Fitness after locking in a Europe holiday for September 2025. I knew I needed someone to keep me accountable, guide me through nutrition, and help me build sustainable habits for a healthier and happier lifestyle. That’s exactly what I found with Jonte and the OB Fitness team. From day one, Jonte made the process feel effortless. We set a clear goal to achieve before my trip, and not only did we reach it—we smashed it. The support, structure, and encouragement made all the difference. One of the highlights for me has been boxing. Every session brings something new, and I’ve genuinely enjoyed learning and improving each time. Beyond the workouts, OB Fitness offers a strong community vibe that makes showing up something to look forward to. If you’re looking for a change and want to feel better inside and out, I couldn’t recommend OB Fitness more. Give it a go—you won’t regret it!

Nicolette Barberoglou Honestly the best Pilates studio I’ve been to in Melbourne. The music, the atmosphere and the work outs are top tier. Always walk out feeling better than I walk in! Highly recommend

Allin Habib I have been with Jay since 2018 which is a testament in itself. Ive tried others, but none have compared. She somehow helps me achieve results Ive thought impossible. Its not just her knowledge, its her overall demeanor. She encourages without pushing and supports you through whatever stage of life youre in. I so appreciate having her in my life and I highly recommend her as a PT.

Nicholas J I highly recommend anyone wanting to get in shape and learn about nutrition to contact steve. He has great knowledge both in training and nutrition.

Michelle Callanan I have been training ninja warrior at fighting lyons since the beginning on ninja with Paul Lyons 2018. Stopped for a while when the gym changed hands, but the new owners Michael and Katrina are amazing with myself and my children. We are all on the spectrum so sometimes the classes would be to overwhelming but with the support of staff and Michael head coach we now love attending and get the support we all need. We travel twice a week from Geelong and wouldn’t have it any other way. This gym is like a family to us and everyone that attends. The best community of people and the classes are so much fun with so much variety. Fighting Lyons also do sensory friendly classes and amazing structured classes. Thankyou for always being so kind and for allowing my family to be ourselves

Blake Ericksen Jay is an absolute legend - training with her has completely changed how I feel about working out. Shes super chilled, down-to-earth, and totally gets how to keep you motivated without any pressure or ego. I actually look forward to our sessions, which is a big shift from my usual search for excuses to get out of exercise! Highly recommend if youre looking for a personal trainer who actually makes fitness enjoyable and genuinely cares...

Sasha This is the BEST CorePlus location I have been to! I come here weekly; the classes are 10/10! The only small downside is the instructors dont really give corrections; today I noticed someone working out near me, and she had incorrect form that looked like it could lead to a back injury, and the instructor never helped her. I know the class is fully packed and its impossible to get to everyone; however, in cases like these where it seemed dangerous, it would be nice if they noticed so beginners could get the most out of the class and not have issues down the line.

Elise Aguado I have completed 40 classes at Studio Pilates Essendon and I couldnt be happier with my progress! From my very first class, Ive felt supported and motivated by the incredible instructors. Their expertise and personalized approach have truly helped me get stronger each session. The studio itself is clean, welcoming, and equipped with top-notch facilities. Thank you so much for a fun-filled and fantastic experience!

Rose P I was a bit apprehensive and intimidated about starting Pilates (being a bit older) but it has been a great experience. I did some individual sessions and have now progressed to group training. Liz and Kenny always ensure the exercises are done correctly and make the sessions enjoyable. They are so patient !
