Project Better West Melbourne - West Melbourne (VIC)

Kris Chandra Entry to the gym via digital access means now I have to take my mobile inside. Before implementation of digital access, I never carried my phone with me in inside the gym. The risk is that I might lose my mobile. In the event of a loss or theft, Goodlife does not provide any recourse. Who will compensate for the loss of all the data and the hardware? Will Goodlife take this responsibility? Now I cannot use sauna and steam rooms simply because the phone is away from me. Goodlife will come up with the proposition that they provide lockers etc. How safe is a locker? Many years ago I was a member of a different gym and they provided "safe lockers". Someone broke into my locker and stole my bag with all the gear in it including my mobile and wallet. They refused to take any responsibility. "All care taken but no responsibility". I am thinking of joining a different gym now where I do not have to take my mobile phone inside.

Monique Vella The best studio I have ever been to. Fun friendly and professional instructors, studio is clean and bright, and it even smells nice. Highly recommend

K S Sujith Ive been a member at fitness fit for over six months, and its been a game-changer for my fitness routine. The facilities are always clean, and theres a great variety of equipment, which makes my workouts so much more effective. I love that the gym is open 24/7, so I can fit in a session no matter how busy my schedule gets. The trainers are super knowledgeable and always available to offer advice or support when needed. Highly recommend this gym to anyone looking to stay fit and motivated

Poppy Dixon I found this studio on ClassPass and had hands down the best experience I’ve had at a Pilates studio after visiting about five. Athletic Reformer with Tania was amazing, challenging but in the best way possible. Facilities are amazing with great amentities and lovely products in the bathroom! I have never seen the option ankle and wrist weights at a reformer studio before and I can’t wait to try this out when I have developed a bit more strength. Will definitely be coming back!

Nari Saelim My absolute favorite Pilates studio! All three locations have the same inviting atmosphere, with slight differences in layout depending on the building. I prefer the Brunswick location because I like that the class is actually on the second floor. The reformers are relatively new, always clean, and super comfortable to use. The space is beautifully decorated and feels inspiring every time I walk in. They also provide quality products, which is a nice touch. The instructors are all professionals with great energy, each bringing their own unique personality but similar teaching style. Highly recommend.

Sav Best gyming experience I’ve had in a while. Staff is cheerful, motivational and inspiring. This gym is a communal gym which is very motivating of its own, no room for slack. A lot of exercises packed into a 50 min routine. Including pep talk, warm up and stretching. They do a 8 week challenge which monitors your diet too, which is assigned according to your set goals. Definitely worth a try.

Karina La Spina Extremely disappointing gym management — unclean, unresponsive, and unauthorized charges. This review is specifically about the gym side of Brunswick East Gym, not the Taekwondo program. My membership officially ended on March 6, confirmed by the staff — yet the gym has continued to deduct money from my bank account, even twice after cancellation. I’ve emailed multiple times and called, but no one ever responds. I’ve now had to involve my bank and am escalating the matter to Consumer Affairs Victoria due to unauthorized charges and complete lack of communication. It’s especially disheartening because my family were among the gym’s first customers when it opened. Back then, under Master Will’s leadership, we did both gym and Taekwondo. I stopped gym classes during my pregnancy after doing HIIT, and there were no issues at all with staff or admin back then — things were smooth and professional. Since Master Will left, only the Taekwondo side has remained well-run (now managed by Master Nora). The gym side however is now a complete mess. The facility is unclean and poorly maintained: There’s dust everywhere and cobwebs on top of cobwebs. No disinfectant wipes or cleaning protocols. Machines out of order for months, including the leg press which has been broken for over a year. The toilet is constantly black with grime — truly unsanitary conditions. It’s sad to see this happen to a place that once held such promise, especially one that’s part of our local community. Unless things seriously change, I’d strongly recommend looking elsewhere for a gym with proper hygiene, maintenance, and ethical business practice.

Ben What a great gym! All the staff are really helpful. The music is always great. The sauna is state of the art. Being able to do a cold plunge outdoors is great. They let you bring your dog in. The equipment is all high tech and easy to use. The group sessions on the weekend are awesome! Well done Project Better :)

Shane McSweeney No egos, no pressure — just a welcoming gym with heaps of equipment variety. Steve and his trainers are supportive, motivating, and make every workout fun and effective!

Julia Baglioni My partner and I have been training with Jackson for just under 12 months. Coming from someone who never thought they’d enjoy the gym, I can safely say that I am converted. Jackson and Dene provide a welcoming and inclusive environment, and truly want to help you achieve.
