Macquarie University Sports and Aquatic Centre Like many things at Macquarie University, it's sporting and athletics complex has been recently renovated. Although universally refered to as «the gym» by students, the Macquarie University Sports and Aquatic Centre is actually so much more. The complex's facilities are extremely impressive; no matter what time of day or night you find yourself there, you rarely need to wait to use your chosen piece of equipment; a pleasant contrast to many gyms around the 6pm mark. The centre also offers its members free use of its multiple squash, tennis, basketball and netball courts, as well as its indoor and outdoor pools. Swimming lessons for all ages are available here, as well as squads and the ability to leisurely push yourself up and down the pool for as long as humanely possible. The cafe attached to the gym is widely considered to produce the best coffee on campus, and - bonus! - there's never a line. In case you've committed the rookie error of coming for a swim and forgotten your swimmers, the Sports and Aquatic Centre stocks a full range of swimming costumes and goggles, plus a formidable range of other affiliated gym gear. Plus, there is a carpark with two hours of free parking - happy days! The centrex also has an impressive range of classes, at a range of times deeply convenient to uni students on campus for the day. Wanna try Tai Chi? Now's your chance! Pilates? Body Attack? Body Pump? Spin? All the old favourites - plus some newcomers on the gym class scene, the most obvious being Zumba - are avaiable. Plus, they come at student (and working-professional, obviously) friendly prices; for the non-member, classes are only $10 a pop! Compare that with the Fitness First's of the world.... If team sport is your thing, then you're also covered; the Sports and Aquatic Centre's mind blowingly popular social netball is offered three nights per week, while social touch football and soccer are on twice weekly. For the less traditional, you can partake in weekly competitive badminton. (I'm not joking). The centre's staff are also always friendly and courteous, the bathrooms clean and the lockers available. Plus, the value is astonishingly good. A membership with the Sports and Aquatic Centre feautres no lock-in contract, no joining fee and a getting-started session with a personal trainer. Students, staff and alumni of Macquarie University are lucky to receive a discounted rate, but others will still find this membership won't break the bank! read more

It's as good as Fitness First, but cheaper. A lot cheaper, especially if you're a Macquarie student. There's a wide choice of group fitness classes with knowledgeable instructors. Gym is well-equipped with fairly new weights & cardio equipments. Other facilities include outdoor & indoor pools, squash courts, basketball / badminton courts. read more

Definitely not satisfied with their services. Made a booking a couple of days ago to use their badminton facilities from 5.30-6.30pm this arvo. It cost me $22.00 for which they wanted me to pay in advance (no issues). Called up in advance to find out if they've got rackets and shuttlecocks available. They told me that I'd have to spend an extra $10.00 on top to hire rackets for 2 people and that I'd have to buy shuttlecocks, but oh wait! They don't have any available for purchase. I told them hey! I'm driving 45 mins to get there and you better guarantee that you've got shuttlecocks available, else what am I going to do, look up and wait on the court? LOL. Next they tell me that I'm booked in from 6.00-7.00pm instead of from 5.30-6.30pm, which is ridiculous considering I had work commitments after this time. Basically, they've changed my booking without even letting me know in advance. I definitely won't be using their facilities again. Highly disappointed. read more
