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

JUAN HU Susanne is my sons first swimming teacher, who just turned three. Before getting into the water, he was terrified of it . After two lessons, he said he loves swimming and is no longer afraid of water. Im so grateful to Susanne; shes very patient and understanding, giving him a great sense of security.

Varun Bansal The place is okay if you’re just going there for a bit of fun or family time, but it’s really not suitable for proper swimming lessons. The setup feels quite unorganized instructors often take leave without much notice, and replacements are arranged last minute. This ends up wasting students’ time and disrupting the learning process. The coordination from the management side isn’t great either. Good for recreation, but if you’re serious about learning to swim, I’d suggest looking elsewhere.

Kailey Hlavacek Loved training with Simona! She’s super friendly, motivating and always made me feel comfortable in the gym. She explained things really clearly and kept sessions fun but challenging. Even in a short time I noticed a difference and felt stronger. Highly recommend Simona!

Jayde Nilo Absolutely love the new Reform Studio! All the instructors are great and make you feel very welcome. The boxing room is handy to do workouts in however other members leave a mess every time which is disappointing.

Kasia G I have been going to this gym for over a year and I am happy with the equipment. But during staffed hours if the air conditioning is on it is ok but for the last few 3+ months there have only been 3 functioning fans during staffed hours if the air conditioning is off. And as the weather is warming up after hours is becoming unbearable to work out. Is there a plan to manage the comfort of clients out side of hours better?

Hannah Bedford Today marks 1 year since I joined Fernwood Narre Warren. I signed up for 6 months at first and then after 6 months I ended up signing up for a further 18 months. I love Fernwood. I have not set foot on any equipment in the main gym area, I joined for classes and I LOVE the classes!! My favourites are Zumba with Reema and Marjorie and Group Active with Karina. I also enjoy Boxing, Tone, Pump and Power Bar. I really miss it when I cant get to my classes. And the community of amazing women is awesome, encouraging and positive. I did not join to lose weight primarily, I joined for my mental health and for some me time, but I have lost 22kg (of 38kg Ive lost so far) and am stronger, fitter and can do things I absolutely could not do a year ago. Thanks Fernwood Team!

Rueben Neelshan Sarvananthan New manager Harley is amazing. He has not only has amazing customer service and training skills, he works very well with the rest of the team who are also amazing Lhala and Emma. He has restored our faith in ATF after a couple of bad experiences. My family and love the time here now.

Thurbil Pouk Amazing gym!! I’ve been to a few anytime locations over the years and the Narre Warren location is outstanding. The current trainers and staff are top class. Shout out to Harley! he is an incredible trainer and has really helped me get back into my routine! The gym is very clean, the atmosphere is friendly and welcoming. I would highly recommend signing up!!

Juli E. Im quite disappointed with the gym staff and the lack of security. Today I was robbed. The receptionist only took my information. I told her I would call the police since they were withdrawing money from my account, but she told me that her shift was about to end and that the police werent going to do anything. Ive witnessed two robberies this week, and I dont know how the gym is doing to improve security. For example, investing in lockers would be a good idea. I hope my information will help in the investigation and provide the police with details about the people who are stalking us and stealing our belongings in this gym.

Bella B I’ll admit, the Google reviews initially put me off from joining, but I decided to visit the gym myself and I’m so glad I did! I’ve been a member since July 2025 and haven’t had any issues at all. I really love that you can check how many people are at the gym before going, it makes planning your workouts so much easier. I mostly use the treadmills, sometimes there’s a short wait, but it’s never too long. The only small downside is that a few people talk quite loudly on their phones, especially during quieter times. But during peak hours, everyone is focused and in the zone, which creates a great workout atmosphere. Overall, it’s a clean, convenient, and well-managed gym that I’m happy to be a part of. Its quite affordable as well which itself is a bonus. Definitely worth checking out for yourself instead of relying solely on online reviews!

Itsthatone Yep Was good a cpl years back now the spin classes are all but gone unless you can do morning, change rooms are below average at best, lots of maintenance required and its starting to attract a lot of people with very poor hygiene. The good, all staff Ive dealt with are great. Heaps of options available locally now so may have to check them out once this year comes to an end.

Dennis Xf Was bullied by a regular at XFC i brought up the incident with management. They told me they will check the cameras and then said, the cameras are on weird angles and they cant see what happened But There is 50 cameras in the gym?? Obvious that some people are protected. So I handed in my membership on the spot and was then told I dont get a refund because I paid for the whole year in cash. I really thought the gym was supposed to be a safe place for people to improve their bodies not to be body shamed by others

v Directz Great gym awesome people very exciting atmosphere with emphasis on technique, skill each session, coaches are very approachable and helpful when teaching and safety is a priority for everyone which is great as well.

Dylan I’ve been coming since April and honestly it’s been a new home to me. The coaches are amazing and I’ve been able to progress so much thanks to them. Would highly recommend to anyone interested!

Catherine Humphrey We have been with UAC for approximately 6 months participating in the basketball academy. The coaches have been friendly, approachable, knowledgeable, and strive to make the sessions both fun and educational for the kids. The facilities are clean, maintained, and visually appealing. The staff welcome the kids with enthusiasm and make them feel part of the UAC family. I highly recommend this facility for any players who want to improve their game and have fun doing so.

Monique Connolly Universal Athlete Centre is like a second home to me. The staff there are genuine and only want to see you improve and support you to be the best that you can be. There is nothing they wouldn’t be willing to help you out with. You will always be greeted by a friendly face (during staffed hours), and they are always willing to go the extra mile. I used to feel insecure going to gyms but this gym has genuinely been a safe space for me. The additional recovery and fitness areas are just a bonus. Thank you to Jayson, Brendon, Dylan & Ben for making this a safe space and for always being a friendly face willing to help and encourage me to kick goals and be the best version of myself that I can be. 10/10 recommend. I wouldn’t go anywhere else or trust anyone else. Thanks guys!

Jesse Cirulis Matts been great to have as our S&C coach for our footy club this year. He brings a lot of knowledge and utilises technology well to get the best out of his athletes and the program. Hes very easy to work with and is very precise with his preparation. The boys have taken well to having him on board and look forward in seeing where they can get to individually, with the guidance of Don Strong.

Megan C Matt is an excellent coach who loves helping his athletes. Matt has some great experience all round working with all different academy’s. Was really good to have Matt work with myself and my rep teams to help make sure we were good for game days and trainings with his strength and conditioning. Highly recommend Don Strong Performance.

Ash Bouyer Gym is fine, but not a lot of machines. If you are sick or on holidays it is ridiculously hard to postpone and they pin you for everything. Other gyms are way easier and better customer service. They also do not backdate suspensions…. Contacted them and they said no…

Tash Sgardelis Gym is always clean, tidy, and has a great range of equipment. It’s such a good space to train in, especially early in the morning when it’s nice and quiet. The only downside is the heaters – even at 5am it can feel a bit too warm and stuffy while training. Would love to see the temp adjusted slightly for comfort. Otherwise, highly recommend!

Shaun McGrath Highly Recommended - Corey and Sacha are awesome coaches and people. I was only there for 2 weeks sadly but my program was tailored to my injuries and coached through the exercises, I wasnt performing correctly. A welcoming community, from a variety of backgrounds, with many members bring there for years! I wouldve stayed but was only passing through - definitely get in asap, before the availability fills-up!

Jadon D’Souza Joining this gym has been the best decision I’ve made. As someone who’s tried three different commercial gyms over many years, I, as I’m sure you have, have found that they’re too crowded unless you’re there past 10 pm, and it’s not a welcoming environment to go alone. I considered personal training at these gyms, but the rates were too high. But here, I have access to trainers, sessions at times that suit me best, with fewer other gym-goers at once. The trainers are also available for guidance (and a spot, of course) and to do all the brainwork for me, from developing a training regime and setting goals to exercise form. For once, I’m convinced I can commit to training for the long haul and see actual results. If you’re second-guessing your yearly gym membership that you don’t seem to quite utilise, I highly recommend checking this place out and the boys, Corey and Sachin. 5/5 all-round.

Immanuel Amalraj I started my PT sessions with Jared as a complete beginner 2 months ago, and now I can confidently say training with Jared has been one of the best investments I’ve made. Jared is not your average PT, as he will do a full deep dive on various topics related to body transformation with you, that go beyond only form/exercise. He’s also very skilled at delivering that knowledge onto you so it sticks with you, by gradually bringing in concepts with each session as you become ready to absorb more information. What truly sets Jared apart, is that he’s highly experienced and knowledgeable on nutrition, recovery and diet in addition to the workout exercises. So when you train with him, he gives you everything you need to know to achieve your goals at the gym. Since I started training with him, he has given me a tailored workout split and meal plan that is specifically designed for my body and goals. By following that each week, I have already made significant progress in 2 months than what I could have done on my own. Whether you’re new to the gym or not, Jared will provide the appropriate level of nuance based on your experience level. Would highly recommend.

Sajjad Nasim I’ve been training with Jared for just over a month, and it’s been going great! He’s super motivating, knowledgeable, and really helps you stay consistent. Every session pushes me closer to my goal of staying fit and looking my best. Highly recommend him to anyone wanting real results and accountability.

Tiarna Martin Amish is an amazing trainer! His intelligence and motivation has helped me to achieve my goals and obtain great results. His devotion has guided me and completely transformed my life, I could not thank him enough. Highly recommend!

Ruchika Vohra Amazing coach! The training sessions with Amish are intense, well-planned, and genuinely effective. Makes personalised training sessions to achieve individual strength and fitness. Highly recommend! Well deserved and goal oriented COACH!!!!

Jessica Koum Pilates and Barre with Grace has been such an amazing experience. Coming in as a beginner, the trainers make you feel so comfortable and can offer alternate body positions and reformer spring strengths to accommodate your fitness levels/past injuries. It is such a welcoming environment with a great community feel. Everything is super clean and well maintained. I have had the pleasure of now having a reformer class with each trainer, and they have all been fantastic. Highly recommend this studio. Plus the socks are super cute!

Nuzrath Shazeen Started with Gracie’s Pilates from last year and it is truly one of the best decisions I made for my mental and physical wellbeing.I have been working with Gracie and Kristy and I must say am painfully pleased ❤️ much love and here’s to many more years of Pilates and Barre

Sandra_C Nieto Outstanding service. So professional and really targeted for any age. My son has ASD and through NDIS they formulated a Olán to achieve his goals. They have the right therapist, professional for anything you need. Cannot highly recommend enough, worth every $ hands down the best!!!!!!

Tarsha Jones I’ve been training at axis for around 10 weeks now since tearing my ACL. I have so much trust in all the coaches - particularly physio Michael who has been awesome helping me get my leg strong before surgery! Its great training with people in similar situations and where you’re constantly getting feedback on your workouts. Thanks so much to the Axis team!

Kris Malvenna Miss this gym so much hope to see yall again one day, everyone at bjj were family to me hope you guys get far in life ❤️

Missy B - -⭐️ Took son for a trial class at boxing, just little while back, And what a Horrible experience that was! barely made it through the class. Entered the building with barely a welcome. Couch/trainer didn’t Acknowledge us at all. When it came to going through punches He Didn’t run us through what was happening, We had to guess! When one of the experienced children were happy to help us. He literally told him, not to worry about us, to just punch, while ushering him back in to their group. My son had been getting bullied at school, so for my baby to ask to learn how to protect himself. I’m still pissed that’s what we had to experience. I Would never take my children there nor would I ever recommend it to ANYONE!
