Friends Health & Fitness: Opinions
Fantastic experience: Water temp is to cold for little ones
Fantastic experience: Love it. Clean, friendly staff and exceptional instructors.
Fantastic experience: Great facility
Fantastic experience: Fantastic staff working here good service good equipment good classes
Negative experience: Friendly staff, good but management not really good for customer care. I have plans to move the city in a month but want to use facilities for a while so I asked staff for any recommendations, the staff advised me for full access to pay up front for 3 months which most suitable for my case without giving another information about refund or other things but after registered for 3 days, I need to move urgently so I go to cancel my membership but they said nothing can do with refund because I paid up front also they don’t have any refund policies. They asked me to find another to replace the my course or just leave with nothing. So please improve your services about giving information other wise new customers will misunderstanding and lose their money without nothing. For swimming pool is too crowded with kids who come for swimming lessons that you can use with others only 2 lanes. If you go there too slow you will not able to use swimming pool and waste your time to wait.
Fantastic experience: Great gym with almost you could need
Fantastic experience: Change rooms are very clean!. Spa and steam room are a great way to relax after swimming laps. The pool itself is great and spacious with lanes. I find if you’re wanting to do weekly laps I find around 12:45pm during week days is the best time around school period as a member to go swimming as it is not very busy at that time which is good it’s not overwhelming for some people like me that don’t like being in crowded places especially when it comes to swimming centres.
Fantastic experience: Great spot. Always clean and staff are so friendly and accommodating. My wife and I went their frequently before having the little one and now she comes with also. Also good to see the continuous improvements. Great job team - thank you.
Fantastic experience: I recently started attending the Fit 4 Life class here on Wednesday mornings. It seems to gave just the right combination of exercise and balance training for me.
Fantastic experience: a comprehensive fitness experience for all levels. The spacious facility with a fully-equipped gym with top-notch equipment, a refreshing indoor pool, and a wide range of group fitness classes in a dedicated studio. state-of-the-art equipment and spacious facilities.welcoming and supportive environment for all fitness levels. The only con was the fact that it's not 24*7
Negative experience: Aqua aerobics instructor said they'd need the lane soon, said no dramas, (no other lanes available due to swim program), figured we'd be told when a lane had opened up. Carried on swimming only to have the lane rope closed on my head by the aqua aerobics participants - disgusting manners - a coincidence that they were all white, and I'm non-white. Instructor was seemingly unfazed by what occurred.
Fantastic experience: Small but well maintained gym with friendly staff
Positive experience: Friendly staff, nice spa and clean pool Not so crowded on weekend but very limited parking spots at the centre

Fantastic experience: Such thoughtful, helpful friendly staff. Safe environment. Love thus place!
Fantastic experience: Our children go there for swimming lessons and we’re very happy with everything. The staff are friendly, the lesson schedules are very well planned out and we’ve seen a great change in our children’s swimming skills.
Fantastic experience: Friendly staff with all sorts of classes ranging from spin to pump. There’s a decent weights room with a lot of machines as well as a good size pool. I highly recommend Friends Health & Fitness.
Fantastic experience: Excellent pool facilities, clean, not crowded. Love the lockers, spacey showers and hot water. The steam room trumps it for me.
Positive experience: Good fitness centre. They offer group classes, there is also a gym, and swimming pool. Wish there was a free trial option at some cost, for everyone to try out before signing up for a membership.
Positive experience: Not a bad facility! I used the gym. Still good equipment but not the absolute best. Very good selection of machines. I’ll still go back again
Positive experience: Friendly staff. Excellent learn to swim classes; small groups, ability to assess and assist my children to gain skills in water awareness. Clean facilities. The only thing I would suggest is the ability to have direct debit for the term.

Negative experience: Pool Instructor Sam got bad attitude
Positive experience: Good swimming experience with steam and jacuzzi under the same swimming price!
Negative experience: Worst Staff (Instructor Guy SAM). They start closing from 7:30, but in the website it says 8:00. The instructor guy has a cheap attitude with his rude face. He starts walking around the pool area from 7:30 pm keep starring at ppl in the pool area, he pours CHLORINE CHEMICAL in the swimming pool at 7:30 pm while the swimmers in the pool which affect the SKIN and EYES. I am requesting the authority to take a severe action please or I will take it to a higher level.
Hi Teena,We apologise for the inconvenience you experienced late last year that our closing process for the centre does have to start 20-30 minutes prior to closing. Like many other businesses it is a common practice as I am sure you can appreciate and the closing time is when all patrons must have exited the Centre, and does not refer directly to the time the front entrance will be unlocked and accessible.It can certainly be frustrating to encounter this sort of barrier when you had plans to visit a business and we encourage patrons like yourself to give themselves sufficient time to be able to access the centre for use, but also leave enough time for utilising any facilities such as changerooms afterwards prior to our closing time.Referring to where our staff member poured chemicals into our pool. You can be assured that chlorine and similar chemicals for our pool are all managed by a computerised pumping system in a specialised locked and security managed pool facility room. The computerised system is programmed to keep pool chemical levels in line with public health requirements and is also manually recorded every 3 hours.Lastly, we do not condone bullying and your attack on our staff members personal appearance. You may find it helpful to reflect on your attitude towards others and learning to spread kindness or constructive feedback.Hoping you have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.LeahMember Services Officer
Fantastic experience: Great front desk service and lovely swimming pool, usually good lane access, the lanes are well planned you just need to check school visit time tables. Good showers, lovely spa, the sauna can use an update like a lovely wooden nordic lined wall and nice smells, however the gym is very good, the best equipment, the best instructors, a great purpose built group fitness gymnasium with good range of very helpful rehab and other classes including most Les Mills programs. Yoga classes will make it absolutely the most perfect health facility (please?)! Clean!
Fantastic experience: Love the Friend's Gym. It has everything. Staff are great .
Much appreciated Jilly. We are pretty proud of all our facilities and the team. :)FH&F

Fantastic experience: Excellent
Fantastic experience: Great facilities and Staff. Beth and Cam excellent Exercise Physiologist. Tanya and Nat very friendly & helpful on front counter. Thank you & keep up the good work Mark
Fantastic experience: I only do swim here (doesn’t use the gym facility). I like the pool here as it is quieter than aquatic centre, but a bit more pricy. I guess you get what you pay for. Overall happy with the place - car packing can be a bit narrow, may need to park off street on peak timing.
Fantastic experience: Friendly people, feels like home. Would be great if they could change the classes around, same class has been on at the same time for years. A great gym, Wednesday spin class instructor is fantastic.
Fantastic experience: Great place to recharge your energy

Fantastic experience: Great place, great staff
Fantastic experience: Best gym in Hobart with the best staff
Negative experience: Dirty and packed and forget about parking
Positive experience: Interesting, I have not been to this place for many years, but I have heard good things of it.
Negative experience: I had a very poor customer experience in relation to one of their employees who was rude and inexplicably angered by the fact a 15 year old wanted to use the gym. There age policies are somewhat befuddiling and only allow 16 years old and above to access the gyms facilities in comparison to most places where it's 12 or at most 14. If you're under 16 you must be accompanied in pool which is ridiculous seeming as though in most places it's 10! 15 is the legal age to start working yet if you are under 16 you still need an adult. They should look at changing these policies and improving their customer service!
Fantastic experience: Great pool and steam room, plus a divine spa! Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Went for a casual swim. Great pool.

Fantastic experience: Great facilities and staff.
Fantastic experience: True to the name, this swim school is very friendly and the teachers are very good with the children.
Positive experience: Great
Positive experience: Friendly and helpful staff but no way is this Hobart's cleanest pool.
Negative experience: Well I have used the spa here infrequently for two years and today being Mothers Day I thought I would treat myself and my daughters. What a dissapointment the spas had half if jets working which was courtesy noted by a sign on the wall. I could have dealt with that if the spa had been clean! The tide line was clearly evident and the lining was filthly. Then we battled the showers three of the seven were not functional and not clean either.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic Gym with Pool, Spa and Steam Room. The staff are so friendly, they've made me feel very welcome.
Fantastic experience: I regularly go and use the Friends pool and spa. I believe this is the best swimming pool in Hobart. You swim in sunlight as the pool has a massive skylight above the pool. The Spa is hot and the jets work well. The spa even has two beds to stretch out on. Showers in the changeroom have heaps of pressure and are clean and hot.
Fantastic experience: Great facilities and staff who will push you as much as you need
Fantastic experience: Я хожу в бассейн со своей внучкой. Она занимается с тренером, а я плаваю для души. Очень приятное место, очень внимательный коллектив. И немного посидеть в спа так хорошо!
Fantastic experience: Well equipped and very tidy.
Fantastic experience: It is where I choose to swim
Positive experience: Great pool temp
Positive experience: Staff are knowledgeable and always friendly. The pool is clean and a good temperature. The other customers are welcoming and friendly too.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic staff
Fantastic experience: Friendly staff.Amazing body balance class by Nicole... suitable for any age or fitness level.
