Healthy Fit

As far as the gym facilities and equipment go, this place is EXCEPTIONAL! Easily the best, cleanest and friendliest gym I’ve ever seen. The only downside is the opening hours are just far too restrictive. If they expanded their hours, they would be the best gym. Ever. In history. However, the rapid growth of 24 hour gyms is a clear indication that in this day and age, hectic schedules, 15 hour work days and rotating shift rosters are (sadly) becoming more common. In light of the above, closing your gym at 6pm on a Friday and at 3pm on the weekends is just teasing! I guess enough people in the area have civilised work schedules to make these hours work for them…
Other than that, if you work Monday to Friday 9 – 5, then I can’t recommend this place highly enough. They have a plethora of free weights and more squat racks than any other gym I’ve ever been to. Everything is spotless, and there is never a wait to use any piece of equipment. The trainers are all cool, knowledgeable and helpful. And there is nary a grunting meathead in sight. Outstanding.

Spotlessly clean, spacious, never overcrowded, attended by exceptionally friendly and helpful staff, and stocked with the most squat racks and olympic barbells I think I’ve ever seen in one place; if you’re serious about strength and barbell training, then this is the place you want to be (and there’s a wealth of shiny new cardio equipment, too, if that’s your bag). Easily the best Melbourne gym I’ve ever had the pleasure of training at!

Healthy Fit isn’t open twenty-​four hours, and it doesn’t have the huge array of group fitness classes you would find in your average mega-​chain. But the relaxed atmosphere, the friendliness and familiarity of the staff and members, and just the general vibe of the place makes me certain that I have made the right choice by being a member here.
As a normal member here, you get an initial health and fitness assessment and a suggested workout plan for what you want to achieve, with six week progress checkups. Basic membership is a no-​contract fortnightly direct debit, which you can cancel with a fortnight’s notice.
The place is never anywhere near crowded, and I have yet had to wait to use any piece of equipment in the gym. Lockers are complimentary and the changing areas, showers and bathrooms are well outfitted, unlike the poorly maintained mass cubicle messes you find in many large chains.
I look forward to making this my regular haunt!

This gym rocks — totally slays Fitness First.
Relaxed environment, clean equipment, super friendly PTs, inexpensive, good opening hours, no doof-​doof or TVs and, most importantly, no fixed term contracts and an accommodating suspension policy. Need I say more? The PTs can write you up a program and are always on hand to help when you can’t quite remember how to do that burpie. Excellent boxing equipment and classes. Attracts a wide community (because of its great vibe and staff!), covering the macho dudes to the distinguished and refined. PT sessions are also available, which sometimes look more like bootcamp (fancy to pull a tyre anyone?)
