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

Dusan Jovanovic I’ve been training with Ben for over two years now, and I couldn’t recommend him more highly. He’s really helped me understand my strengths and weaknesses, recover safely from an old injury, and stay motivated even when I felt like giving up. What makes Ben different is his holistic approach and deep understanding of the nervous system, he knows how to push you without overwhelming you, so training feels sustainable and effective. Every session is tailored, challenging, and supportive. I always leave feeling better than when I walked in. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, caring, and inspiring trainer, Ben is the best!

Mariam Mousa Ben has been an incredible support throughout my pregnancy fitness journey. His intuitive approach and deep understanding of the body meant every session was tailored to how I was feeling on the day, always safe, always effective. His training style is results-driven but never pushy, and I’ve genuinely felt stronger and more confident under his guidance. Highly recommend to anyone looking for personalised, expert support.

Karen Fennell Highly recommend !!! I have been training with Dermo since early this year, and have noticed the mobility on my injured hip has been much better. My body feels so much more stronger and flexible. Dermo has also helped with my confidence with going to the gym by myself. He is also a very nice person :)

Dana Mcgrory I have had the pleasure of working with coach Dermo for the past three years, and my experience has been exceptional. From the very beginning, he demonstrated a deep understanding of fitness and an unwavering commitment to my goals. Dermo is not only knowledgeable about exercise techniques and nutrition but also incredibly supportive and motivating. He always took the time to trailer my workouts to fit my needs and consistently adjusted our sessions to ensure I was challenged and progressing. What stands out most is his ability to encourage me to have a positive body image mindset. Over the years, he has played a crucial role in helping me achieve my fitness goals and build healthier habits. I highly recommend Dermo to anyone looking for a dedicated trainer.

Ed Browne Louise (Taube Pilates) has made a huge difference to my overall well-being. Thanks to Louise, Ive lost weight, my core strength has dramatically improved, and my balance, coordination, strength, and overall confidence are getting better class by class. Louise is professional, supportive, inclusive, and a wonderful, positive energy to be around. Thank you, Louise!

Daniela Di Fabio Louise is such a kind and generous teacher! I completed her Prenatal and Postnatal course online and discovered many exercises appropriate for women pre and postpartum. I met her when she was presenting at the PAA Conference in 2023. She is a fabulous presenters who will share everything she knows in order to help others further their knowledge. Louise has such beautiful energy - I highly recommend studying with her!

Alexander I have been a client of Davids for three years and have always recommended him to friends and colleges of all fitness levels. David brings with him and eye for detail and passion that is not seen with most personal trainers. If you are a beginner or even at quite an advanced level in your training I would definitely recommend David as if you are going to do something you might as well do it right! Good prices, Power lifting, Strength and Conditioning, fitness, weight loss & kickboxing the man does it all (ps Im pretty sure his the only Qualified Kettle Bell instructor in Melbourne)

Andy Zhang I’ve been David’s client for over a year. He’s the best trainer I’ve ever had. He’s really knowledgeable, passionate about training and love sharing his knowledge with others. He’s fantastic at strength training as well as martial art. I’ve recommended lots of friends come to train with him and all of them really enjoy it.

Gayendra Ive been training at Zero Point jiu-jitsu for about a year now, and its been an incredible journey. Not only have I gotten fitter, but Ive also learned so much. The community here is welcoming and supportive, making every class something to look forward to. From learning concepts, mobility lessons to rolling, the focus on flexibility and technique is top-notch. The expertise of the instructors shines through in every session. Highly recommend to anyone looking to start or continue their jiu-jitsu journey!

Derek Bardill Huge shout out and thank you to Zero Point Gracie Jiu Jitsu (Brookvale location) for having me in for their noon training session! I am visiting the Sydney area on vacation from the US and I was immediately welcomed by all. I didn’t pack a gi for our trip, but Chris hooked me up with a loaner gi, no worries (felt kinda good to be a white belt again lol). The level of instruction was incredible, and I’m extremely grateful for the opportunity to. Guys, if you’re in the Sydney, Australia area I highly recommend!!!

Michael Gory I have been going to Petes gym for more than 4 years. I am 66 and as fit and healthy as I have ever been. Peter is passionate and knowledgeable and I recommend him very highly Thanks for everything Pete. MikeG

Shaya Rubinstein Pete is a great trainer, very attentive and drives for results.

Ben Glazer Rodney and Luke have helped me immensely through my recovery process. They have helped reduce my chronic migraines and back pains to be almost non existent. They are extremely friendly and helpful. I could not recommend them any higher! Definitely go here!

G K After injuring my neck for the third time in 9 weeks, i took my friends recommendation and contacted her Osteo. Daniel was not available so I booked in with Rodney. The first thing he advised was to get an x-ray to ensure its not something more than acute wry neck. He also advised that I probably should have done this the second time the injury occurred so soon after the first incident. I took his advise and found out that I had a bulging disc. Something the 3 physios I saw before him failed to discuss with me. I was so scared to see an Osteo instead of the traditional physio what a mistake! Rodney is painfully good if that makes sense? Instant relief and I look forward to complete recovery hopefully very soon!
