Where Locals Work Out: Best [16] Gyms and Fitness Centers in Docklands, Victoria

Dan Watts This is a solid gym with a good location, decent kit and friendly staff throughout. Particular shoutout to Corrie who is always upbeat with a smile and full of positivity and a good sense of humour. A little gutted as the gym is shut at the moment due to flooding. Hopefully this gets resolved soon as I enjoy working out here.

Jarek It’s a crèche for young guys who want to do the minimum workout but take up the equipment while they concentrate on their phones. Seriously, so difficult to work out here. Walked in today for a weight session and absolutely everyone else in the gym were fixated on their phones while sitting at the smith machine and benches. I asked a few guys if they were using and they just said yeah and back to their phones. I know it’s a problem for most gyms but this one is particularly bad for it. Staff wouldn’t have a clue as they never leave the front desk to even check the workout space. If they did they would see the absolute vile and disgusting state of the chairs near the lockers. Been like this for at least a year now. Hygiene is not a priority here and no one seems to care at all besides management commenting on reviews saying how important hygiene is. If they bothered to step away from the front desk for even a second they may notice the filthy chairs. I’m fed up here. About to escalate this situation.

Raven Stevens Gym has a great range of different machines, the only gym in the area with a wide range of equipment. Great staff as well super friendly. Biggest downfall is the bathrooms. The toilet paper dispensers haven’t been used in a while, instead the rolls are just sitting on the hand rails or toilet? Very random but doesn’t make them unusable just does not feel like it matches the “premium” standard or price.

J Ayiomamitis Ive been to many gyms in my life and Ben is one of the nicest, most welcoming staff members Ive encountered, especially in Melbourne, where everyone is miserable. Gym equipment was perfectly serviceable, nothing spectacular; a little lacking in lower body equipment and 20kg plates and only one platform to deadlift but there was more than enough for you to get a great workout in. Highlights were the Iso-Lateral Lat Pulldown, Seated Cable Row, Plate-loaded Shoulder Press, and all the Barbells were in good nick plus nice, sturdy cages.

Quangaaa Been to over 6+ gyms in the last decade and this is by far the best gym I have signed up to. The vast variety of equipment and machines is perfect so you’ll be sure to hit every muscle group. You can do any sort of workout and sport in this gym, it’s spacious, clean and kept at a high quality. Behind this, the staff are genuine and nice so you’ll always feel welcomed. Special mention to Andrew who is an amazing person and what he’s doing to run this gym is spectacular. He’s a real, straightforward and genuine man with one of the best attitudes and shows great care and compassion. Looking forward to seeing this gym continue its progress and its achievements.

Murale Balakrishan Not only does this local gym offer a stellar workout experience with its upgraded equipments, but the fantastic customer service takes it to the next level. The owners and staff are always attentive, friendly, and ready to assist, making every visit enjoyable. Its the kind of personalized service that makes a gym feel like a community. The view of Yarra River enhances the overall experience. Highly recommended!

Carla Osses I’m glad to share my experience at Docklands Health. I went there to treat a back pain, and honestly, I felt much better after my first session with Umar Sikander. He gave me a plan with daily exercises and 2 more follow up appointments. I highly recommend him and the clinic for the professionalism and quality care.

Xavier Cotton I am just visiting Melbourne and needed a deep tissue massage (overdid the walking the city thing). Laura delivered in spades. I walked out of there in good shape. Usually I have to ask to go deeper. I actually asked Laura to ease up just a bit during a pretty intense section of the massage. Highly recommended. Masterclass. Thank you.

PLAYSHOP Ive been trained for 3 weeks during I was staying in Melbourne in my 45 days trip :) (Now I am back to Korea and training with F45 Korea.. and still miss it!) It is located in dockland so its harbour view after training is really beautiful! Trainers are super kind and I can be motivated every moment! The space including locker & shower is so clean and well maintained! I highly recommend here and definitely go back in next trip to Melbourne!

S H The trainers at F45 Docklands are consistently friendly and supportive. They take the time to check in, offer guidance, and make sure everyone feels comfortable and included, no matter their fitness level. The gym is clean, well-organized, and has a welcoming atmosphere. It’s a place where you feel encouraged rather than pressured, which makes a big difference.

Mary Masters I’ve been coming to BFT for a few years now and still love it. The variety in classes keeps things interesting, the trainers are always supportive and motivating, and the community vibe makes a huge difference. Great local people and a really welcoming atmosphere – highly recommend!

Lorraine Ann Velasco Hands down the BEST gym I have ever been to! I’ve tried other BFT branches, but nothing beats the atmosphere, the community, and most especially the coaches here. Every coach is extremely helpful, and their attention to detail is top-notch. They guide you every step of the way, and I’ve learned so much from each and every one of them. If I ever go back to Melbourne in the future, this will be the only gym I’d want to be part of again—110%! The community they’ve built at BFT Docklands is truly unmatched. This isn’t just a gym, this is home!!!

K41 Docklands Personal Training Studio is a small but really welcoming space. Bryan, the sole coach here makes tailored programs for everyone and creates an encouraging atmosphere. There are both individual and group sessions, plus the occasional fun challenge. I’ve only trained here for a month but I can already tell this is going to be a life-changing experience! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a place to train in the area!

Richard Fisher Bryan is an exceptional fitness trainer who truly cares about his clients and their well-being. I initially weighed 120kg at 183cm, which made moving uncomfortable. Bryan never made me feel judged or discouraged. Instead, he encouraged me every step of the way, genuinely celebrating even the smallest improvements. He consistently made sure that I followed his program but personalized his approach that I made steady progress each week. Although I had to discontinue our sessions only after three months due to increasing work commitments, Bryans training not only helped me shed some weight but also improved my overall mobility and my mindset(almost no negative self talk now), I can now move with ease, and Im confident if I keep up this momentum we kept up these past three months that Ill be able to run like I did back in college by next year. In fact, Im already planning to participate in a marathon this October, a goal that seemed impossible before I met Bryan. If youre looking for a fitness trainer who genuinely cares about your success, supports you through the challenges, and celebrates your victories, Bryan is the perfect choice, and I highly recommend him to anyone seeking to transform their fitness and overall health.

Shereen CL Tan After having phobia of previous PT trainings elsewhere and many years of not going to the gym, Anthony was able to assure and guided me through proper ways and techniques according to my strength. Modifications were made at each stage to scale up. Great coach and place! Enjoying my time here and looking forward to achieve my fitness goals

Yasmine Khalifa I can’t recommend Habitat Mind and Body enough! Anthony is absolutely amazing, super patient, supportive, and really takes the time to make sure you feel comfortable and confident, even if you’re a total beginner. He explains everything clearly, pays attention to form, You can tell he genuinely cares about helping everyone move at their own pace. The meditation is also a game changer for stress management I always leave feeling calmer and more grounded.

Maddie Apps Steph has been absolutely amazing to work with! She has gone above and beyond in helping me achieve my goals, and in teaching me how important self-care is. Steph really takes the time to listen and adjust her coaching support in line with needs, I could not recommend her coaching enough!

Melissa Czerkasow I have been working with Steph for 12 weeks. Stephs nutrition and training knowledge is incredible, and her advice and support have been the key to my success in transforming my body. The nutrition plan was enjoyable, and suited to my tastes and lifestyle. The training program is super effective with short workouts I was able to easily fit into my busy schedule with great results. Committing to a program with More Than Fitness has been one of the best things I have ever done. It has changed my life and given me back my confidence.

shanshan wang We were honoured to have Sifu Damien deliver a 100-minute Kung Fu workshop for our Year 8 students. His teaching goes beyond physical skills, bringing wisdom, discipline, and genuine passion to the session. He successfully engaged a large group of 70 energetic fourteen-year-olds, keeping them focused, respectful, and enthusiastic throughout. It was an outstanding workshop, and we highly recommend him to any school looking for a meaningful and engaging Kung Fu experience.

Xu Tracy Empower Tactical delivered an excellent Kung Fu incursion at our school! Sifu Damien and Leon were professional, engaging and fantastic with students from Years 4–7. The session was well-organised, energetic and focused on discipline, teamwork and respect, while introducing students to the Chinese culture in a fun and age-appropriate way. The lunchtime demonstration was a big hit, students were amazed and inspired! Communication and coordination before the event were smooth and efficient. Thank you, Sifu Damien and Leon, for your effort and passion. Highly recommended for schools looking for a safe, exciting and educational physical activity experience.

Christopher Valneris Really good pool with a sauna, steam room and spa. The gym has just about everything youll need from yoga mats and cardio to muscle building machines. I just wish the gym was 24hours.. other than that i would give it 5 stars.

Sakura Parker-Iida The facilities are good, however the staff have not been very welcoming. I am consistent with going to the gym, but feel I need to go later to avoid the staffed hours because of this.

David Premium quality equipment, unreal professional staff. Fantastic private environment. This place is a gem if you are REALLY SERIOUS ABOUT BODYBUILDING

Joe Berre Great vibe, professional equipment and plenty of weights. Wonderful location!

Promit Mallick Ive had an incredible experience training with Beau at Kinetic Fitness in Docklands. His expert guidance has helped me achieve significant progress—Ive gone from 108kg to 79kg and increased my bench press from 15kg to 40kg. Beyond physical improvements, my training has boosted my daily productivity and overall well-being. The team at Kinetic Fitness is highly professional and welcoming, creating an encouraging and supportive environment. Unlike conventional gyms, the facility offers a spacious layout with top-tier equipment, making workouts far more enjoyable. Its central location is also a major plus, making it easy to fit sessions into a busy schedule. If youre looking for a knowledgeable and experienced personal trainer without the crowds of a commercial gym, I highly recommend Kinetic Fitness.

Dina El-Hakim Ive had the pleasure of training with Beau for a few months and really appreciated the guidance I received and the progress I was able to make. Beau is extremely knowledgeable about the human body and weaves good values in during training sessions (consistency, daily movement, personal committment to health). The well-stocked gym is in a great, central location, very private and flexible with scheduling. Definitely recomment this gym if youre looking for 1:1 training and someone to focus on you!

Judith McDonnell Highly recommend the reformer pilates classes here. The staff are very friendly and welcoming at the gym. The instructors are very knowledgeable and explain the movements in detail. They make sure that youre doing the movements correctly, for maximum benefit. Ive been doing the pilates classes twice a week for the last 3 months. Since starting, Ive had more energy, better posture, Im sleeping better and Ive lost weight.

Sharu Gokaraju Push Fitness to me is more than a gym..not only it has the best state of art equipment it also has the best trainers that really care for you and motivate you to be a better version of yourself. This is what puts Push Fitness above other fitness centres. It is also the only fitness centre in Docklands that offers exceptional pilates reformer classes by the best trainers. Thank you Andrew, Jean and Micheal and all the trainers! You are the best! Thank you for keeping me consistent and motivated always.

Baran Rostami Very nice facility located at such nice peaceful spot in town. Good environment and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Alessandro did my induction and he explained all i needed to know. Highly recommend this gym.

G Gardiner Staff very professional

Dluxe Bling Alpa is an outstanding trainer who truly tailors a program to you as an individual. Weve smashed so many goals together and I look forward to many more to come. If youre after a coach that will bring out your best and have you achieving your goals, look no further.

Himanshi Goel Amazing coach. I use the word coach intentionally because she is far more than a personal trainer. Helping me sort out my goals and priorities inside and outside the gym! She listens to your needs and tailors her approach to ensure your success. Because she truly cares that you reach your goals! Thank you Alpa! Your support means the world to me
