But when I looked on body basics website and they say things that make you know you're already amazing but they help you become a healthier you. I didn't bother looking anymore... From their website...'passionate about living healthier lifestyles and you are treated equally regardless of shape, size, gender or fitness level' I've never had a gym make me feel good about myself and my choices before I even stepped foot in the place. They use a holistic approach, many people use this gym and it's nice to be surrounded by a variety of people from many backgrounds and different shapes & sizes. Not just your muscles Mary's! However, even many of them are friendly. I cannot rate this gym highly enough, thanks to all the amazing staff and even the other members who make this place what it is.

This place is great because you can come anytime and get your work out on. If you're a 9 to 5'er…read moreand a workout beginner, this probably isn't the gym for you because it's not staffed all the time. I go and work out there early in the morning and i've never seen a staff member during my session, though they are super friendly when I have seen them. Don't worry, their hours are posted and very visible. It's basically a gym-express. It has a little bit of everything and they do a lot with the small space they take up, but can't compete with a full-size gym. Basically one of every machine so if you go during peak time, you'll find it hard to get a workout in. Being from America, I'm used to having a locker room with showers, steam rooms, etc. This place has a common area with cubby holes and you put your things there, then you can have a shower. I guess the crime rate here is really low? lol... Americans have no shame. Your things are sitting in the middle of a room filled with people and your belongings will definitely disappear haha. I have to come here because of work and I do think it's a great gym for what it's for. Come early or late when you have the place to yourself and it'll be a great value for the money. Just know what you're doing and prob bring a partner so you don't hurt yourself. No one will find you until the morning :)

It was brutal getting out of bed to go to yoga this morning (6am in Canberra = hell to someone just arrived from Brisbane) but I did it. I signed up for the ten day pass for newbies ($30 for ten days for first timers). It was easy to get sign up though they place has just changed names (Previously Align) which was kind of confusing when I got an email form Align. The place might be a little hard to find as it is up a set of stairs but just follow the people with the yoga mats. I really enjoyed my first class. It had a good flow, the moves were good and the room was very big. My colleagues go lots of times a week and they really like the classes. Overall, I am going to keep going, though this weather might defeat me.

UNPROFESSIONAL. If you're thinking of signing up to Go…read moreFigure Women's Health Club, be sure before you sign up. The major term that the gym facility do not tell you or clearly disclose is the cancellation policy. In my experience with most cases and with any service, this is generally clearly stated, mentioned upon signing up to the service/contract and generally is only small cancellation fee. However, Go Figure Women's Health Club DO NOT allow you to cancel your membership. The only way to get out is to find another person to "take over" or "transfer" the membership - which is highly unreasonable, time consuming and sometimes difficult to do. This was not disclosed to me when signing up to the membership. This policy is a true reflection of how unprofessional the gym facility and Manager Tanya is. After contacting the Gym facility and the Manager Tanya in person twice, by two letter's and numerous email correspondence to advise them of my personal circumstances and that I wish to terminate my contract I was turned down with no empathy. After welcoming the opportunity to meet and discuss in person, this was dismissed. Not once was I contacted by phone call to discuss further and to offer assistance to resolve the matter. The only communication from Tanya was by email as if she was avoiding confrontation - another reflection of unprofessionalism. After this, I was threatened on numerous occasions by the facility debit company and then a debt collector to pay the FULL membership costs immediately which amounted to $1,120.00 and if I weren't to pay this the external company would be seeking recovery and it would affect my credit rating. A threading email, text message and phone call which is not ideal to receive two weeks prior to Christmas. From my experience the gym manager Tanya, is simply unprofessional and unfriendly in her manner and way she conducts her business. As a member of her facility and business, at no point did I feel that she wanted to assist me in anyway. I only felt that it was important for her to receive her money as quickly as possible by taking advantage of the debit company to continue the threats. You would think as a woman running a "Women's" gym she would have more care and respect for her members to ensure she maintains a happy relationship with her clients. Im not sure what type of professional business owner would like to run their business knowing from the start that there will be some unhappy customers. I know I am not the only member to have gone through this.

This gym offers 24 hour access and plenty of new equipment. I took a tour the day I moved into the…read morearea, but the club did not allow any form of trial access unless you fill out the online form and wait for the printed ticket. The sales rep. couldn't grant me temporary access on the spot, so I went home and filled out the online form for a free 3 day trial. I then wasted several days trying to go in to redeem my trial membership during what you would expect are normal business hours (say 12:00p.m. or 2:00p.m. on a Monday or Wednesday), but unfortunately found the doors to be locked while staff were off duty or away from reception. I could not get into the gym to speak to staff, as I was not already a member. Well, played peoples. Playing hard to get, I see. Eventually I gave up and joined another gym near by with larger facilities, a pool and a spa. Shortly after, I received a follow up call from a sales rep. asking if I wanted to come back in to join or use my trial membership. Ehhhh. I would have. Oh, well. I can tell you the gym looked clean and the equipment was nice, but service is difficult. Once your a member and have a keycard, I'm sure it is much smoother.

Sensei Steve and his team are supportive, personable and professional, crafting training regimes and curriculums for each student. I appreciate the zest the team puts in to each training session, and their good humour with the inevitable mistakes that I make as a novice white belt. More broadly, it's great to be surrounded by a community of fellow adult students, with a variety of abilities, each trying to do their best while helping more junior students. I usually train three times a week; some train more often, others less so - everyone is welcome. Thanks to my teachers and my fellow students for a great time. See you at training!
