Body Synergy, which used to be on Wheatland Street Seacliff has just moved to Balance For Health…read more The studio is bigger, and there is now more equipment. I attend the Body Synergy class once a week: 10 minutes cardio (usually on a bike, rowing machine or cross trainer), 10 minutes of one-on-one weight training, 10 minutes on the vibration machine, then 30 minutes Pilates. Classes are no bigger than 4 people, so the instructor is always keeping an eye on you (which means you can't slack off when you think no one is looking, ha!). My trainer Lesa is brilliant - the right mix of pushing you, but not going beyond what you should be doing. Body Synergy was created for people with back injuries in mind, but is suitable for all fitness levels. Highly recommended ... even for someone like me, who doesn't usually like exercise ;)

I have never been a member here, but I have taken a couple of classes and had a week free trial…read morewhich was given to my mum (who is a member). Overall the gym has everything you'd expect; treadmills (plenty), bikes, cross trainers, weights rooms, stretching area, exercise balls, etc. The rooms are well air conditioned and there are showers if you need them. The staff are friendly, helpful and encouraging. I took one class doing pump (with my mum) and one class doing pilates (with a friend). The pump class was good and you felt well exercised once you were done. The pilates class was meant to be a beginners class but I felt like I wasn't being taught very well and there were people in the class who were going ahead and knew what they were doing. I was a bit disappointed with that, but in the pump class I felt a bit more looked after. To be fair, I'd much rather do my own thing rather than be in a class, but maybe Brighton can work on their beginners classes for the future. Overall, if I lived closer to Brighton or didn't have a closer gym to me like I do now, I'd probably choose Brighton Fitness.

Started here about 6 months ago. We wanted to start our son so my husband took him along to his…read morefirst lesson and then encouraged me to take him the next time. The Sensei asked if I would like to join in and I thought "why not". Since then I have been attending every week and am completely addicted. Although my reasons for starting were to set the example for my son I now go because I love the focus it gives me. It really challenges me (mind / body / spirit) and I leave after 2-3 hours of training feeling absolutely invigorated and ready to tackle the week. The sensei and sempai at the dojo are really supportive and helpful and there is a real atmosphere of cameraderie and respect. In some ways I wish I had started years ago although there are definite advantages to starting as an adult in terms of maturity / learning / attitude. The only negative is that there is only training here one day a week. There are other affiliated TJKN dojos in Magil and Kensington though where one can go for extra training (although style slightly different).

Let it be known that I once was gloriously fit - jumping, bending and running with athletic grace…read moreand skill. Times have changed after a two year exercise hiatus due to sheer boredom with the whole shebang. After approximately a year of whinging to my loved ones about my unfit state (word to the wise that's what happens if you don't move at all) and pondering that I may need a personal trainer to re-motivate me, I finally got in contact with Jo Newman at Fit N Fabulous. I'm very glad I did and even though it's only been a month I am definitely on my way back to that glowing specimen of health (just give me time). Jo is a lovely blend of drill seargent and that workout buddy you always wished you had. You will be sore, but it'll be that good kind of sore where every painful move you make is a reminder of the body betterment going on beneath the surface. And most important to me Jo is a master of variety, so I never quite hurt in the same way after a session. I also think for this day and age the costs are reasonable and if you'd prefer to share the agony and payment in a pair that can also be accomodated. Throw in regular group bootcamp sessions and you'll be fabulous in no time dahling. My inside tip is to purchase a $2 house-made Apricot & Almond Protein Bar after your workout. It's delicious and natural, unlike the hideous ones I've tasted out there. Jo works by appointment only so make sure you get in touch to tee a time up. In a nutshell - work it baby!

I love coming to this gym, they have pretty much everything that I can work on including: classes…read more(variety: moderate, medium, to high), weigh room, cardio room, and a studio. Classes are offering different time during the day and weekend. I can easily choose different classes depend on my schedule. There are classes before 9am and after 5pm, so you can take advantage of free parking here. Classes usually run about 45 mins. Parking is free on the weekend. By far this ins the cheapest gym membership that I can find around here that offers all of these classes and more. Buy the one year membership, it turns out about $30/month.

The staff, and the service they provide are excellent. Always greeted with a smile and a hello…read more There is one downside to this particular club though - it's one of the smallest. It would be good, and if it were ever possible, to have a bigger free weights and stretching/cool down areas. It is in a convenient location - across the road from Westfield Marion! So if you have to go shopping before/after a workout, you don't have far to travel.

I first got involved with Move Through Life Dance School after they offered 10 weeks of Ballet…read moreclasses for $20 through one of those coupon discount websites. I went along with a friend and was surprised at how welcoming and friendly everyone was. The studio, located in Glengowrie, is used for multipurpose activities but has a complete dance studio with all the bells and whistles. The floor is sanded wood and there is a full wall of mirrors and a barre at the opposite end. We attended a Beginners Ballet class which was good, but I was worried ,as someone with dancing experience, it would be easy and a little boring after a few classes. However, after the first class the teacher was quick to say we would continue to work towards more difficult things and she would work more closely with new people that joined as we went along to catch them up to speed. There was a range of different sorts of people attending, school age, 20 and 30 something's and older, more mature women. There was also a mixture of abilities which didn't make you feel like a loser if you have never done ballet before.
