Equilibrium Health & Fitness 24/7 North Melbourne

Fantastic experience: I have always felt quite comfortable working out at Equilibrium North Melbourne over the past 8 years. The gym itself has a great deal of equipment, Dean and the staff have always been friendly and helpful.

Fantastic experience: Modern sunlit gym. Friendly low key staff. Nice recent improvements. Good equipment. Ego-free 'I'm here to work out not to pose' members. Give it a try!

Fantastic experience: Friendly environment, lots of equipment. Very helpful staff, it's a great place to train!

Fantastic experience: A great gym with lots of decent equipment, friendly staff, and a relaxed and non-judgemental atmosphere. My partner and I were only in town for two weeks, and they generously gave us a two week trial, as opposed to one, which they didn't have to do. A gym with a good soundtrack too, which is very rare lol.

Fantastic experience: Extremely inclusive and welcoming atmosphere. No intimidating members or staff like some other gyms. I found it has all the equipment I needed for my sessions and more! Would recommend to anyone in Melbourne

Fantastic experience: Great gym! Have really loved training here during my time in Melbourne - gutted to be leaving but moving cities. When I went to cancel my membership, I found all the info in the membership handbook and it was processed easily so I had no issues. Hope to be back in the future!

Fantastic experience: Really enjoyed my 7 day pass at equilibrium. They have a good selection of equipment and the gym is always kept tidy. It didn’t feel too busy either! I am travelling around Australia so sad not to be signing up to a membership but will definitely be back if ever in the North Melbourne area.

Fantastic experience: Great local gym just a short walk from home. We joined during their March Madness promo and have been really impressed so far. The space is climate-controlled, well-equipped with everything you need for strength, hypertrophy, and cardio training. It’s never overly busy, making workouts efficient with easy access to equipment. Would love to see a seated leg curl added and a few updates to worn vinyl and cable attachments, but that’s just nitpicking. The gym is clean, secure 24/7, and the staff are fantastic. Coming from running our own fitness studio, the transition back to a commercial gym has been seamless. Equilibrium is a solid, no-nonsense space to train hard, get the job done, and move on. No jaw day here, just people putting in the work. Edit May 5: been over a month training here now and we’ve upped our review rating. Staff are great, and the gym has everything we need. Training here for us is perfect, location is unbeatable, and overall the atmosphere is pleasant.

Fantastic experience: Great gym - recently replaced old equipment with new. Good free-weights area, also has good group classes mornings and evenings.

Fantastic experience: "Such a positive environment to work out in. Always clean, never overcrowded, and the staff are always happy to help. I'm very happy with my membership!"

Fantastic experience: "Amazing gym with top-notch facilities, friendly staff, and a great atmosphere! Always clean, well-maintained, and offers everything I need for a great workout. Highly recommend to anyone looking to join!"

Fantastic experience: Josh is an awesome personal trainer - not only is he super lovely, but he’s great at what he does. He’s always careful about form, makes the workouts fun (but challenging) and keeps me engaged in my fitness. He also makes a mean fruit salad! Can’t recommend him enough.

Negative experience: I lodged a cancellation request on their app, and 30 days later followed up when I was charged again for the next month’s membership fee. They said they had no records of the initial request via the app, so the day I called (30 days after initially requesting to cancel) would be the start of my 30 days notice. I pled my case but they just stopped responding to my emails. Essentially robbed me of $70 because of their own poor systems. Avoid like the plague.

Negative experience: Besides having very limited machinery and equipment, very poor customer service. Staff unprofessional and quite rude

Fantastic experience: Josh is an incredible personal trainer! He brings great energy, tailors workouts to my goals, and pays close attention to form. His support and motivation have helped me make real progress. Highly recommend him!

Negative experience: Terrible. You pay for the whole month and they keep making arbitrary charges without knowing why."

Fantastic experience: Highly recommended. Lovely staff, clean and excellent equipment.

Fantastic experience: Excellent location, friendly staff and modern facilities.

Positive experience: Continually improving, good gym. Open 24/7, never a bad experience. Mainly going very early morning.

Fantastic experience: Super friendly staff and has a great location. What sets it apart from other large gyms is its absence of joining or key access fees. Additionally, their app is extremely user-friendly. They've recently renovated the space and upgraded several machines, making the experience even better. I highly recommend it!

Fantastic experience: Great club, great staff, very clean and well fitted out with great equipment.

Negative experience: Literally cannot get in contact with these people. I am straight up trying to give you money but y'all won't respond to email or calls to any of the various numbers you have listed.

Fantastic experience: A excellent good gym. Great facilities and warm friendly staff. This gym is an important part of the North Melbourne community.

Fantastic experience: Really great gym! Clean, with lots of good equipment and quiet in the day. Friendly staff and Dean the manager very helpful. Brilliant for a month stay in Melbourne whilst travelling. Cheers!

Fantastic experience: Great gym with awesome classes. Staff/personal Trainers are very knowledgeable and friendly. Always clean. Great environment to workout and train in , keep up the good work

Fantastic experience: Trained here while I was in Melbourne and absolutely loved it. The equipment was modern, well kept and there was plenty of it. I never had a session where I needed to wait around for anything, there were always two or three options for each exercise. The staff were great and all really friendly. They make a point of knowing your name and face which is always quite a nice touch. The place is well air conditioned and the water is ice cold which always helps, especially as an Englishman in the Australian heat. Top gym, top people. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a new gym.

Fantastic experience: The gym is absolutely stunning and there are pilates and yoga classes with special equipment.

Negative experience: Overcrowded and not particularly clean. Only a very small area to stretch out or do mat work unless you want people stepping over you. There were half-arsed rennovations going on for the last 6 months I was a member. Often equipment was broken and did not get fixed quickly. The group training area upstairs was essentially cut in half by this construction, so not really a comfortable space to do the class exercises and the equipment had no place proper places to be stored. Some of the instructors for these classes were pretty mediocre (i.e. just there to do the class themselves). When I left I was charged for 2 extra months membership fees despite leaving a request via the website, which I know they received. I had to keep calling, many times, to confirm that no more payments would be taken and that my membership had in fact been cancelled (and forget about getting a refund).

Fantastic experience: Signed up for Equilibrium for a month with friends whilst travelling and it has been great - Dean and rest of staff are very welcoming and accomodating, they have a wide range of machines, equipment and weights so always left the gym feeling like it was a successful session. Relaxed, non-judgmental atmosphere and they seem to have a good range of membership options to suit what you need. Best gym I've been to - if I am ever back in Melbourne I will sign back up again.

Fantastic experience: Open 24/7 affordable and clean

Fantastic experience: Nice clean gym with friendly staff. Overall good environment to train

Fantastic experience: This is a great gym; friendly staff, a large range of free weights, plate-loaded, cable and cardio machines.

Negative experience: Bad customer service, keycard didn't work and I was locked out and couldn't get hold of staff easily. Bad facilities, cramped and full of beef heads and barely any women. Rude staff. Go to Virgin, better value, they have a nice sauna, beautiful yoga room and change rooms plus pool. These guys are jokers who won't help you or warn you if your bill goes over $1000.00 if you were stressed about the pandemic or too busy with uni. Their contracts are shonky and designed to catch you off guard. At least Virgin cuts off your account so it doesn't become too high if you have life events happening, family deaths, illness etc and forget about your gym membership for a few months. Equilibrium does not respect it's customers. Virgin is worth the slight extra for an all around more comfortable and respectful, considerate environment. This place honestly just wants to crunch numbers and is overcrowded and not an appealing place to visit.

Fantastic experience: This is a great gym; friendly staff, a large range of free weights, plate-loaded, cable and cardio machines.

Fantastic experience: Super friendly staff, great location. Thanks for having me guys

Fantastic experience: Great gym, convenient location, extensive range of equipment and classes. Thank you for letting us use your gym casually while travelling to melbourne, we’ll be back!

Fantastic experience: Clean facility and good equipment and friendly staff. Best receptionist at any gym in Melbourne

Fantastic experience: Love this place

Fantastic experience: Great, well set up gym with friendly and very helpful staff!! :)

Fantastic experience: Professional and friendly team. Great instructors and excellent range of equipment and classes. Cleanliness A1.

Fantastic experience: ️

Fantastic experience: The best gym ever Dean the Manager is very very helpful and the facilities are clean. Also love the bowl of fruit on the counter as you leave. Highly recommend for a great inner city gym.

Negative experience: Great facilities, but they continued to take random deductions from my bank account for months after I cancelled my membership. After multiple emails, the only response I got was after threatening escalation to the relevant authorities - still no response on refunding the unauthorised deductions though. Very disappointed in the level of customer service - only writing this review because of 10 months of non-responsiveness. Edit 03/02/2021: The company owner promptly responded to this 1-star review, within a day (which is good), stating a refund had been processed and to get in touch. But after 3 weeks and 2 emails to follow up, still no response (which is bad). And no, despite their claim, after 8 weeks of waiting no refund has been received. Disappointed that it appears their quick response to this review was to moreso to save public face, rather than resolving a genuine issue. Get your act together Equilibrium!!

Fantastic experience: Great service and facilities

Fantastic experience: Great gym and friendly staff. Would recommend.

Fantastic experience: The best ever gym I’ve ever been to, friendly staff, accecible and cost-effective for the regular gym goer. Thank you for being my go to 24/7 gym for the past 2 years!

Fantastic experience: Had an issue and it was dealt with fairly and quickly by the owner. Good gym and lovely owner

Fantastic experience: The gyms recently had a massive refurbishment and is a great place to work out, with lots of equipment, clean and modern restroom facilities and easy to use booking system

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff and decent range of equipment for the space. Would love a safety squat bar if its on the cards for more equipment

Positive experience: Modern sunlit gym. Good equipment, packed in close. Ego-free members. The facial recognition access is a tad creepy though.

Negative experience: If you want to be shortchanged, ripped off and end up injured all in one go, Equilibrium Health and Fitness 24/7 North Melbourne is the place to be! Not only will their friendly staff make sure that you do not get the support you need (especially if you are a beginner), but they will squeeze every penny out of you for services they do not provide.

Fantastic experience: I've been going here for about a year now, I mainly go for the classes. The instructors are lovely and the other gym members are generally very nice and supportive too. I enjoy my visits here during the week. I can't speak too much to the facilities (such as showers, lockers etc) as I don't use them.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym, great staff. I always feel very welcome when I train here, and safe as well which is very important living in the city. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: No nonsense. No egos. Great equipment and brilliant staff. If you're looking for a place to work out, without posers with knowledgeable and friendly staff on hand to support....this is the place.

Fantastic experience: Great gym and atmosphere they let us in and we had very good workouts

Fantastic experience: Good 24/7 gym. The owner is really good.

Fantastic experience: Really good gym, 24h access, many classes offered and clean space!

Fantastic experience: Really good gym with all you need, always clean, and very friendly staff

Fantastic experience: 24/7 gym that has never been too busy after 8pm when I've been there. What's not to love.

Positive experience: Good, basic gym with everything you need. The classes are good and basic too, most in circuit format, nothing extraordinary.

Positive experience: If you want a great little Gym to train at whilst you’re in Melbourne this is the best place to go to Nick is a very good guy The gym is all hammer strength equipment and it’s only $10 for a casual visit win win and a great place to stay around the corner is the Miami hotel So from now on when ever I’m in Melbourne I’m hitting this Gym Thanks Nick for the great hospitality ️‍♀️

Negative experience: Was a member for a year and they recently jacked up the prices to the point that they're similar prices to chains like fitness first and anytime. No longer worth the money considering their equipment is all old and the manager that they had, who was great, has left.

Fantastic experience: the besr

Fantastic experience: I've been a member of Equilibrium North Melbourne for a number of years because it offers great value and tailored health solutions without the unnecessary frills. I recently received extraordinary customer service from Dean who went above and beyond to sort out a membership query. I highly recommend this gym if you want a venue to work out with friendly staff and patrons.

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym and very friendly staff. Specially the classes are real deal

Fantastic experience: Been a member for a couple years now, nice little gym conveniently located on the main street of North Melbourne. Friendly staff and members, always look forward to hitting the weights at Equilibrium!

Fantastic experience: Well equipped 24 hour gym. Staff are friendly and they have good equipment for free weight lifting.

Fantastic experience: Been a member at this gym for more than 2 years and couldn’t be happier. It’s got all space you need, never too busy even at peak hours, good air con over the summer and the staff are friendly and always happy to help.

Negative experience: Very poor customer management. All they are after is the money, they don’t care about their customers.

Negative experience: They don’t care about the customer I paid the year and I can’t wait to leave there

Negative experience: Incredibly poor communication skills from staff. They really need to make more of an effort with members old and new so that their business doesn’t get a bad name..

Negative experience: Hard to find good gyms in the area. This place is just taking advantage of it. Service was rude on phone and in person. If you are brown, you do not want to sign up with this place.

Negative experience: Poor facilities, poor staff, terrible Hygiene standards and forgettable surroundings. I can't wait to go back to a larger "chain" gym who know how to run and and maintain it.Best thing about EQ North Melbourne is its not busy like 90 percent of other inner city gyms......I wonder why?

Negative experience: Moved to North Melbourne and wanted to try the gym before I joined. Girl at the counter wanted to charge $25 for a single session, which she believed was pretty standard (been to many gyms in my time and never heard of a single session costing $25). Would not accept eftpos and had to have the exactly $25 as she as she didn't have any change to give me or a receipt (Kinda got a feeling she was looking to make a quick $25 for herself). So as I didn't have the exact change, I didn't even have the opportunity to try it out, however just being in the place I could see the gym was tiny with limited machines. Walked 5 mins down the road and tried another gym for $10 a session and then joined that gym for over 25% less than what this place charges, and the staff are so much more friendlier.

Fantastic experience: Love that there are 4 squat racks! Makes it very convenient and can always jump on one without waiting!! management very lovely as well :)

Fantastic experience: great gym, equipment for every exercise you can imagine! Staff so friendly and helpfull when you need help with an exercise!

Fantastic experience: So far so good. Smallish gym area but well equipped. Staff seem friendly. Got to make sure my access pass works for 24 hour access ! Members appear very friendly.

Fantastic experience: Friendly and accessible staff. Well equipped gym.

Negative experience: Had a friend get charged twice and rather than admit mistake and resolve it Dean decided to cancel the account using the second charge as cancelation, post promising a refund. Avoid.

Negative experience: Dean and the crew from equilibrium; the gym that cancels your account when you ask why you where double charged that month. PS if your signed up currently, check your account from February to march. It's called "quick pay"

Positive experience: Good weight variety. Cardio equipment a bit old and not all working. A few lockers in the bathroom are broken. But huge variety of classes. A lot more bang for your buck then gyms of comparable price.

Fantastic experience: Equilibrium health and fitness is a great gym to train at. The gym is so clean, the staff is so friendly and there's a spacious group fitness room with a great variety of classes and equipment. There's also no joining fees or access card fees! Would definitely recommend this amazing gym.

Fantastic experience: Stayed in north melbourne for a week and worked out here everyday. Very clean and friendly environment with plenty of equipment and trainers. Will try to come back on my next visit.

Fantastic experience: Great facilities, awesome classes (loving Yoga) and very friendly staff. Keep it up Equilibrium

Fantastic experience: Great gym with a wide array of services provided and good facilities for a gym if a smaller size. The prices are definitely agreeable and the staff are very friendly
