Maybe UTS Fitness Centre doesn't have the biggest or most glamorous facilities, but it is a…read moredead-set winner: super friendly instructors and staff, a wide variety of classes, a relaxed atmosphere, & a feeling of community. It's such a relief to get away from nasty corporate gyms like FF and all the rest. UTS Fitness Centre isn't just for university students and staff - anyone can join, and the rates are much cheaper than corporate gyms. It's super cheap for me because I'm a student and a student union member (good tip to remember if you are a UTS student: join the union!) At UTS Fitness no one will push you to sign up for personal training, no one will come up and bother you about your weight or fitness goals (unless you want them to), and there is a wide variety of membership types (including 1 month and 6 month things). The change rooms are small and crowded, and this gym can be a little grotty at times. But to me it feels like home, so this doesn't bother me ... The equipment is generally of a very good standard. A quick run-down on the classes: anything run by Dian, Kirrily or Patricia will be ace. Carly's Super Circuit class is also great, and Carol does a relaxing (but sometimes quite challenging) yoga class on Saturday mornings. Guy's boxing classes are pretty solid, but Kashi's boxing classes freak me out. Suspension is an amazing class (using TRX cables and a lot of body-weight strength work) - turn up early because this one is popular. There is also a new(ish) kettlebell circuit class which is great. A lot of these classes really work on functional fitness, and can be catered to a wide variety of fitness levels, and adapted to take into account injuries, and the like. There is a bit of Les Mills (Body Attack, Body Pump), but it's not all Les Mills stuff. Oh, one thing, this is not a great gym if you like doing your training on the weekends. It closes on Saturdays at 3, and isn't open on Sundays.
