As a girl of larger girth - the idea of a gym with men in it - and the idea that other women trying…read moreto impress those men might be in it - intimidates the hell out of me. Having a Women's gym eliminates the stress of everyone trying to impress each other and allows for a supportive, feminine environment which can cater directly to the female mentality and physique. Fernwood St Agnes is a little gym, but with a lot of knowledge and a good balance of varied activities. They have two rows of treadmills with individual Foxtel TV's as well as a giant TV (set to a music channel) at the head of the room. There are two cross trainers, two steppers and many different types of stationary bikes and there are a few rower machines. The small room next door is dedicated to personal training and the equipment looks quite scary until you know how it's used. They provide yoga, Pilates and the Les Mills training programs. Their weights room have free weights, machine weights, steps and bikes for spin classes. Fernwood provides a weight loss service, personal training a creche, breakfast supplies and nice change rooms with a massage chair. This place is small but quite well formed - I just don't enjoy - and never have enjoyed the business sales pitch at the beginning. Be very wary - Fernwood can be quite expensive. If you're motivated enough (and they genuinely want you to be), Fernwood has the ability to change your lifestyle.

If you are looking for a trainer look no further! Tyla is a…read moretrue professional and has changed my whole out look on exercise and diet from negative to positive. My partner says the change, in me, since starting with Tyla is nothing short of a miracle! I look forward to coming to the Train Station each morning. The workouts have made me feel more energetic, more co-ordinated, more able to focus and concentrate. Working with Tyla given me far more stamina and strength to deal with the stress of life! Tyla makes it great fun and the session flies by in no time. I am someone who used to detest exercise up until a few months ago when I started working with Tyla. In that time I have been away on two trips and Tyla supported me to keep exercising and eating well in that time by keeping in touch daily which was fantastic. Before meeting Tyla I had gained a lot weight that I am now losing and have dropped down two sizes in clothes, which is great for my self-esteem. I have learned new ways to eat well, which sustain me and are enjoyable. Tyla has outstanding knowledge of nutrition, diet and fitness and is happy to answer any questions I have both during the session or later that day by text. Tyla even went beyond the call of duty and sourced a Power Boxing Station Stand Gym Speed Ball Punching Bag for me, at a bargain price! Tyla is passionate about what she does and her enthusiasm is infectious. I highly recommend Tyla to anyone at any level of fitness.

I've been going to Your World Fitness since it opened its doors last year…read more It gets an A+++ for appearance. It has to be one of the most glamorous places in SA to go to the gym, complete with chandeliers and works of art adorning the walls. The place is massive and the facilities are state of the art - you never need to fight for a space to exercise. The class times are a bit awkward and don't really suit city workers, who I'd assume would be their biggest clients - so I'd recommend checking that out before you join. I'm hopeful that as they grow they will have more classes (especially yoga!) available. The biggest downfall is parking - unfortunately they have no designated parking and the car park across the road closes at 7pm which doesn't help those of us wanting to train after work. Street parking is the way to go but often difficult - unless you are doing a 6am class. Overall, a great gym and can't wait to see how it improves as time goes by!

The staff are friendly, always saying hello and goodbye when you leave the gym. The people who have set this gym up have a keen eye to detail, they are interested in providing an innovative gym experience. I have started with a Personal Trainer recently and it has been one of the best things that I have done. We have been incorporating a few crossfit exercises into my training and he has been able to make the training specific to my strenghth building needs that compliments my other activities. The gym boasts lots of great activities such as pilates, gravity yoga and pole conditioning. There is even a cafe on the ground floor with a wide selection of goodies for gym junkies. And if you have children, there are childcare facilities too. I haven't had a problem with carparking before or after hours either.

Finding the time to exercise is a challenge in itself; it doesn't need to be any harder by gyms…read moredictating what time you need to be there. As a person working in hospitality, my work hours are very unpredictable. Naturally, I was pleased to hear the opening of 24fit - a gym I could go to at any time I wanted to fit my own lifestyle. As the name suggests, the gym is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. There are personal trainers and staff in the gym at particular periods of the day, but it's open to members whenever they wish to access it. The equipment is state of the art and brand new, with a range of weight machines, free weights, treadmills and much more. They also have cycling simulators with which you can race with someone adjacent to you. It's like playing a videogame, only you have to put in all the work that the cyclist is doing on the screen. It's a great way to rule out the dread of exercise and turn it into a fun activity. The security is top-notch and is a necessity for a gym that is unmonitored by staff for the majority of the day. Members gain access using an electronic keyfob, and a camera armed with face recognition software will alert personnel if the keyfob is being used by anyone other than its owner. Emergency panels are also ready inside in the case of injury or danger. The other week my girlfriend and I used the same keyfob to get in, as I'd forgotten mine at home. The next day she received a call from security staff, informing her that someone had entered the gym with her device. Despite the false alarm, it was incredibly reassuring that the security personnel is on its toes!

And I've gotta say, it's quite an experience. I'm between gyms at the moment. I've probably sunk a small fortunate in testing out gyms with which I have no membership. I guess I'm afraid of making a commitment, or I'm waiting for one to jump out at me. So far, I'd say 24fit is dancing quite happily at the top of my list. The facilities are great. All the equipment is in mint condition and very easy to use. I've a friend who has a membership here, and I heard about the place from him. I've so far attended twice and have had a huge amount of fun racing him on the virtual cyclist races. I've a feeling if I had a membership at this gym I'd build up my legs quick-smart. A great, fantastic gym. If you're looking around for one like I am, you might just settle on this one, as I'm most likely to do.

It is such a different space of course and I have to say I'm impressed with what they have done. The facilities are fantastic with individual unisex shower/toilet rooms. The staff are extremely friendly and the prices are more than affordable. I noticed most of the cardio equipment is the Life Fitness arrange which means you can download an app and login with a QR scan and track your fitness regime. Great to see their security measures - being a 24 hour fitness centre, you can wear a security tag that links directly to security if you feel you're threatened when there on your own outside of normal business hours. Definitely a place to consider for your fitness needs!

I can't decide whether I need to pass out or throw up, so you know our workout was good... As soon as we met up with Ben tonight, started to feel less nervous about the session. He is friendly and encouraging; even though he put us through our paces and pushed us hard on our workout, I still felt comfortable enough to ask questions when I needed it and admit when I was struggling. Ben sets up the sessions outside in a park, which is a nice change up from the normal gym scene; if you feel like you're going to die, you might as well do it in the great outdoors. His prices are reasonable, especially if you want to train in pairs or small groups, and the payment options keep things easy (cash, direct debit, or EFT). I also appreciated how he took the time to get to know our exercise history and narrow down some of our important goals. If you need to whip your butt into shape or want to increase your strength or speed, I'd suggest getting in touch with B2R...if you dare.
