Where Locals Work Out: Best [8] Gyms and Fitness Centers in Ashburton, Victoria

Raha H Had my little girl 6th birthday celebration there. Kids absolutely loved it. Staff were so nice and did everything to make it memorable for the little ones. Highly recommend. Thanks Ethan and Mozhde.

Heather Miller Aqua classes are great! Staff are welcoming and the swim teachers take a real interest in their students progress. The swim access program for kids with additional needs is highly recommended. If you want a community type gym and fitness class environment, then APARC meets this for sure.

Anna Burke This is without a doubt the best gym that I’ve been a member of. The trainers are all so conscientious and really take time to give great advice on my training and fitness techniques and so much encouragement. They push me to challenge myself and listen to my needs. I joined after recovering from an injury and they helped me with my recovery, building up my strength training, cardio and weight training so much that at 45yo I’m the fittest and strongest I’ve ever been and I’m so happy! and they I’ve felt so comfortable since my first class. There is so much variety in the workouts - they never get boring, and they mix up the music too! The equipment is well maintained and the studio is clean with lots of cooling in summer. The timetable offers a great variety of times with early to mid morning classes, lunchtime classes and evening classes. The location in Ashburton (very close to Mount Waverley, Chadstone, Ashwood and even Oakleigh) is really convenient right in the main strip of shops so I can get my post-workout coffee. And the F45 Ashburton gym community group is just great people who enjoy a laugh, support each other and love a really good workout.

Timothy Kentepozidis I’ve been attending F45 gym in Ashburton for over a year now. The 45-minute workouts are so fun. The owners Luis & Jo have built a very supportive gym community. You’re welcomed with open arms the minute you walk through the door. The trainers are very motivating & certainly love what they do. If your looking for a gym in the Ashburton area or surrounding suburbs I highly recommend F45 Ashburton.

Jacqueline Johnston I joined a month ago and it has been the best decision. It’s my first time ever in a gym and I have found everyone on staff to be knowledgeable, friendly, kind, encouraging and extremely approachable. The exercise classes have really motivated me and pushed me, which I 100% need! The gym is clean, well set out, bright and welcoming. I’m happy to say I cannot recommend Snap Ashburton more highly!

Ben Borgese I’ve been training at Snap Fitness for over 3 years now and it’s been a great experience. The gym is always clean, the equipment is in good condition, and there’s rarely a wait to use anything. The staff are friendly, approachable, and genuinely helpful if you need advice or assistance. I really like the 24/7 access — it makes it easy to fit workouts around a busy schedule. Overall, a reliable and comfortable place to train.

stephxou My fitness has improved significantly since I started training here. The coaches are really friendly and helpful, pushing you but also ensuring you are always safe. They have helped with my technique as I had done limited strength training beforehand. I like that every class has a clear focus. Whether it be heartrate target or strength. I highly recommend. It is also a great compliment to any competitive sport.

Vivek Rathi Commenced training at BFT Ashburton early March. This has been a life changing experience so far! The entire BFT team at Ashburton is very experienced, dedicated, switched on and super supportive. Sessions are available throughout the day and it’s so easy to book sessions on line through the BFT app as well!

Janet Carter Promitto is the best investment you can make for your health as you age and I recommend it to everyone from 60 to 100 plus. An exercise program is set for each person to cater for their abilities and their goals and each session is supervised. In the 18 months I have attended my strength, balance and energy levels have improved greatly. The program is assisting my 84 year old husband to stay mobile and we both enjoy meeting up with our gym friends before and after each session for a hot chocolate or coffee in the friendly environment of Promitto.

Mirella Maria, my 92 yr old mum, has been attending Promitto for tailored one on one sessions twice weekly for almost 2 years. Whilst we have seen some improvement in her mobility, she is definitely stronger and more confident now on the equipment. The environment is warm and welcoming and all the staff are so caring and attentive, from management to reception staff to all the therapists. To mum they feel like family and coming to Promitto always lifts her spirits, even when shes not feeling her best. After exercising Mum always looks forward to catching up with her new friends over coffee in the beautiful, inviting community space. She even coaxed me to join so we attend together and share a special bonding time as we each work on our own personalized program. We highly recommend Promitto.

Suzy Roberts Ive been training with James for almost a year. He is often amusing, always encouraging, laser focussed on ensuring correct technique and genuinely excited to celebrate (small) fitness wins. The gym is compact, incredibly well equipped and maintained and a safe place where you can leave any insecurities behind you. Highly recommend!

Vanessa Petersen I can’t recommend James highly enough. I have been regularly attending personal training with James for 18 months and through this process have gained strength, confidence in my movement, and a change to body composition/weight loss. What makes him different? He individualises his approach based on the person, their goals, but he also gets to know your strength and skills and is excellent at picking up when to give encouragement for a push, or when to let you concentrate and do your thing. It’s not like other places that ask about goals in the initial assessment and then you just go through the motions of progressive exercises that are rolled out in the same program across all clients. Each person gets their own tailored program each session. James’ flexibility extends beyond the program. Do you need to chit chat between sets? He’s there. Are you someone who prefers to focus on the exercise instead? He gets it. Gossip about bad TV shows? Yep. Are you up for a laugh? He’s your man. The gym has excellent facilities, and it is always spotless. Highly recommended Holistic Fitness and Health!

Jessie chen Donna is the best instructor I have ever met. She cares about everyone in the class and is always kind and supportive. I love her class but sadly I moved a bit far away from this studio. Highly recommend her to anyone lives nearby.

Katherine Loveland Donna is an excellent teacher. I am new to reformer Pilates, and I have found her instructions to be clear and responsive to my level of ability. She is able to modify the activity and rephrase the instructions so that I am learning how to capitalise on what this approach offers. After only three visits I was feeling stronger and straighter!

Tim Menting Training with Jamie Fitness and Benzi at Snap Fitness Ashburton has been exactly what I needed to get back on track. With a busy travel schedule and years of training behind me, I wanted someone to keep me honest, help work around old injuries, and build a solid, consistent program. Benzi’s approach has been spot on — structured, flexible, and tailored to what I need. Highly recommend Jamie Fitness for anyone looking for real, sustainable progress!
