Need I say more? The PTs can write you up a program and are always on hand to help when you can't quite remember how to do that burpie. Excellent boxing equipment and classes. Attracts a wide community (because of its great vibe and staff!), covering the macho dudes to the distinguished and refined. PT sessions are also available, which sometimes look more like bootcamp (fancy to pull a tyre anyone?)

The gym has practically everything you'll need, from free weights, to cardio machines to cables, to suspension straps, showers, lockers, a separate area for regular classes, and a room for their resident Osteo. I have been going to Healhy fit for a month regularly and never had to wait for a machine to be available once. The trainers are very welcoming and will make sure you will feel at home, plus the initial assessment I got was very beneficial and insightful. Whether you want to go to a place that has a large selection of classes, or, like me, want to have your headphones-in and hammer away like the lone wolf that you are, healthy fit is a great place to be.

It is quite apparent this gym is more tailored to those wanting to build muscle and in my time there today, the gym was dominated by men pumping their guns. Slightly intimidating, yes, but not at all off putting. There is plenty of equipment, especially weight machines. This takes up the majority of the gym. Personally I'm a fan of exercising using free weights and found this was quite limited. There is a good amount of cardio equipment available and a small cool down area in the back corner. The cost of membership seems decent and it's a 24/7 gym for members. Staffed hours are from 10am if you're casual. Overall a decent experience but this place needs air-conditioning and more staff on the ground. It was almost like it was expected you're just supposed to know what to do and if you're like me in a new gym it's daunting. I would recommend asking for a full tour if you plan on working out here and if you don't ask, you will be left to your own devices. Also, casual rates are way cheaper than the other gyms in the area so great if you plan to drop in on an ad hoc basis.

Staff also train and it is noticeable that they love what they do and are all happy to be there which has a huge impact on everything. When you sign up you'll get a gym tour and a program with a program run through so you know what to do when you start. Also, all the technology is modern so the touch screens on the cardio machines are really easy to navigate too. The gym itself has been recently renovated and all the equipment is new, smooth to use and shiny. The space smells and feels fresh every time and all the rooms and equipment are really clean and all areas well ventilated. There are pin-loaded machines, free weights, and a range of some of the latest cardio machines. This gym has something for everyone and is really well priced, especially for a 24/7 gym that can be used nationally. The reason I have put 4 stars, not 5 is because I really like group exercises classes and they don't have many here. Overall, the gym is great, not too big, not too small and has everything you need. Kind and motivated staff and on the whole, a good vibe. Happy to be a member here.

Located just off the main Bourke street shopping mall FF Bourke St is good for a quick workout but i find it sometimes to be quite crowded. A few times during peak period i will have to wait to use a treadmill, machine or bench press. A tad frustrating but as expected the popular facility doesn't hold that much equipment. On the main entrance floor you will find cardio equipment and some weights machines, upstairs some free-stretch area and free weights. The staff are friendly enough and are always happy to help you out with whatever you need.

The staff are great, they know their stuff and are very approachable and friendly. I find the floor size is huge, and I have never had to wait for a machine, ever! (even at peak times). They have loads of gear, and really good airflow (good for us runners). absolutely no complaints, and also the gym is augmented by the Melbourne Central gym for weekends (free parking for gym members too)..........................

Only set dumbells and set barbell weights available. Positives! The trainers are fantastic, the staff are all lovely and hospitable. They do have a good selection of kettlebells and also recently introduced Les Mills classes. The class sizes are also sparsely attended therefore it often feels like your getting a PT session. The regular attendees are also very amicable. Overall, friendly, affordable and great if u live in the vicinity. Oh! What I dislike is that , staff do not move the smokers further away from the entrance. Occasionally u can smell the tobacco from within the workout spaces

They seem to heavily rely on personal training - and for that the place is great. As I kinda need my equipment and a bit of space, this gym isn't for me, but it's perfect for anyone wanting a PT or just to do some general exercise. The staff here are extremely friendly and welcoming - because of this I decided to join for a Month. That's the other great thing - NO CONTRACTS, you can just pay Month-to-Month, and it's CHEAP - $55 per Month. Definitely a winner.. I hope this place does well

There are several gyms along the Johnston Street strip and Mind & Body is yet another one…read more There is top of the line equipment, and several pieces that you would not see in many other gyms (a rope that never ends?), and the staff/trainers are incredibly helpful and encouraging. They have a fantastic boot camp class that is run at night (awesome), and there is no shouting involved (even more awesome.) So if you are looking around for someone to kick your butt but at convenient hours, I can highly recommend you take one of Mind & Body's classes. The only thing that really knocks this place down a few notches is their windows. I look like absolute hell when I'm going to the gym, and I sure don't look pretty on the treadmill (think frizzy hair and a bright red face) so why on earth would I want to be in full view of every idiot walking down Johnston Street?! The equipment is literally pushed up against the front windows, perhaps I'm shallow but that's a bit of a turn off.

I noticed that there were a few gyms on Johnston Street, but By Design really caught my attention because of the 'no contract' status of your membership. I think that is so totally refreshing, someone who won't try to lock you in for a year or two. The gym itself is small, but i love that i can turn up at any time (even the dreaded after work period) and still have access to most of the equipment i need. Coming from Fitness First, i would honestly have to wait for machines to free up before i could do my workout. By Design is your cool local gym that you want to be apart of, Staff are genuine and machines are top-notch. As Jackie D says below, the windows are a bit of a turn off, but i just put my tunes on and tune out. Usually does the trick for me!

I was gifted a corporate gym membership; of which sadly had to be returned after six months of use. Although in saying this, I was fortunate to enjoy two casual classes two weeks ago as the company I used to work for had failed to cancel my membership here. An abundant bonus. The classes are exceptional, and so are the instructors - especially Brandon on a Friday afternoon when you join him at 5:30pm for Body Attack, and with him again at 6:30pm for Body Balance - two fantastic Les Mills workouts, and he is a great start to the weekend. The reception staff defy the service you would normally receive from chain stores - they actually know your name and thus greet you by your name the moment they see you before handing in your membership card to be swiped. And when you misplace your card; it is usually immediately ready to re-collect. The launch classes of new releases on the Les Mills workouts are always so much fun. There is a different theme for each new release where you might have to dress up in halloween clothes for instance, and sometimes instructors run special classes for fundraising purposes where you cannot get in without a gold coin donation. Something Brandon did on one of his Friday afternoon Body Attack classes which went for a marathon 90 minutes once; instead of the normal 60 minutes which is intense enough.
