They are very slick and persistent when it comes to marketing so don't ever give them your details if you don't want to be continually harassed until you give in and join up. No, seriously the gym is not a bad gym. I have done some trial work outs here and my daughter is a member and loves going there. The good thing about the gym is that it is brand new and purpose built. The studios where they hold their classes are beautiful and state of the art. The change rooms are modern and well thought out with great lockers that you just have to put in a combination number to use. The weights and cardio areas have all you could possibly need and are very large. The only thing that stops me from swapping gyms is that I spend a lot of time in the cardio area and here it is so dark it is like a nightclub. As you may know, from reading the review of the gym I attend, I do like to read while peddling my stationary bike, which is hard to do when it is "nightclub" dark. So all in all this is a good modern gym suited to the more serious gym goers and if you want to give it a try they often have special offers where you can get a 10 day free trial.

I've been attending Genesis for about 3 months now. I've been a member of many gyms in the past,…read moreincluding Fitness First, and I think Genesis is very good. There's plenty of good, modern equipment. I mix between weights and cardio and I've never found I had to wait long for any equipment to become available. The changerooms are spacious with plenty of secure, PIN-activated lockers. I haven't used the classrooms yet (am planning to join some RPM classes in winter) but they look well equipped. The trainers and staff are very friendly, welcoming and attentive. Its a popular gym and busy at 6am during weekdays. The range of Genesis Glenelg's customers is broad, ranging from young to old. I see plenty of 50+ people attending, which is good to see. I also think that if anyone felt they were overweight and felt out of place they shouldn't. This isn't a gym for posers (although there are some very fit people who attend). There are quite a few larger people who attend, and good on them for taking the first steps to improve their health! There's plenty of parking in the top deck next to the gym, which is more than I can say for many gyms I've been to. Because the gym is located solely on the top deck of a relatively new shopping centre the gym is spacious and isn't split across multiple floors (I'm looking at you Fitness First Adelaide!) Genesis don't have any aquatic facilities but they do have steam rooms. If I had only one minor nit is that I wish they had a stretching cage and a bit more space dedicated to stretch out.

Let's just get one thing straight: I'm not one of those people who are all like "I just HAVE to…read moreexercise every day, or I just don't feel like myself, y'know?". Nope, I don't know. I've never experienced this so called runner's high, and if I never had to exercise another day in my life it would still be too soon. All that aside, due to some masochistic tendency (and the few booze related kgs that crept on over Christmas), I recently joined up at Jetts down at Glenelg and I love it. All the machines and weights are brand spankin' new, everything is clean, and the staff are helpful. And there are even little TVs in all the machines. Yay! I never thought I'd find myself gushing over a gym in the manner I'd usually reserve for, say, a bottle of wine, but there you go. Well played, Jetts.

I have been a member of this gym for many years and have seen it change names three times. what I…read morelove about this gym is that it is real. You get all different types of people from teenagers to pensioners, all different shapes and sizes, hard core gym junkies to the more relaxed type that come for yoga and Body Balance. It has a wide variety of different classes to suit everyone. Recently renovated, it still has a slightly "daggy in a good way feel". I spend a lot of time on the exercise bikes, usually reading a good book, much to the disgust of the serious gym devotees. The lovely airy windows overlook playing fields, a great view as I ride my bike and press my weights. The only downer is when there is a spin class in progress next door and the instructor is screaming at the top of her lungs interrupting my reading. Overall the gym is airy, modern and welcoming with something for everyone.

I have been a member here for about 3 years. I live closer to two other Goodlife gyms but…read moreconstantly find myself going back to this one for a few reasons. - It's clean, spacious and I've never had to wait to use the equipment I want to use. - The staff are consistent and super friendly. Yes, of course I've seen staff come and go but they always seem to leave for a location or career move. Not because they're unhappy at work. - The change rooms have been recently renovated and the showers have awesome pressure and are super clean. If anything, they can be a bit humid due to a lack of ventilation but really, it's a shower and kind of expected. - Cardio equipment is relatively new and easy to use which is turbo important if you just want to work out and you don't hold a diploma in IT. - The view. I hate nothing more than running on a treadmill while looking at a painted wall or the arse of the person in front of me. This gym looks out over Anzac Highway and the PHOS oval. Yes, the sales guys are pushy and you can't avoid being asked to buy PT sessions but "no thanks" is a perfectly acceptable answer.

Awesome new gym (or anti gym)!…read more The HIIT Centre is like a new home away from home. The trainers are friendly and motivating and everyone that goes is super friendly and encouraging. The training is unlike anything you've seen (or experienced) before. Sleds and battle ropes combined with traditional sprints and burpees.

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!

This is a great gym, go and check it out for yourself. I want all my friends to go!…read more There are 5 levels to this gym, including at wet area (sauna, steam room and spa etc). 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.
