I used the South Side Gym over my off-season break to prepare myself for resuming AFL pre-season. The environment and facilities were great. I look forward to training here again soon.

I have been training with Leigh and the crew at Southside in the offseason. I love the vibe and layout of the gym. The lads help me with my boxing and fitness and I highly recommend South Side Fitness.

I train boxing 2/3 times a week with Leigh. He is a hard trainer and has really helped me develop my boxings skills whilst at the same time increasing my fitness. The gym has a great personality which is often lacking in the commercially focused  gyms.

South Side Fitness: Opinions

4.9/5 (40 Opinions)
Alana Chrisomalidis 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Great no fuss gym. Very competitive pricing. Owner is super friendly and so is everyone else I’ve run into here. Not a massive space but is everything I need for cross training/weights etc. Really great sounding classes on offer but a bit of a limited timetable if you (like me) have strange working hours.

Fantastic experience: My favourite gym in Melbourne. You can do things at your own pace or take part in the classes with the expert coaches, but either way you are part of this tight knit, supportive gym community. Get around it!

Fantastic experience: Neighbourhood gem, having used gyms across the globe this little sweat box rules the roost. Great trainers, better members, best chat - don’t waste your fee’s on a substandard membership anywhere else in the 3182.

Fantastic experience: I've trained jiujitsu, wrestling and general weights/fitness with Leigh at South Side for the past 5 years and I've really enjoyed the environment and facilities. Under Leigh's coaching and with support from my training partners, I've managed to win numerous jiujitsu gold medals including the Victorian Championship 3 years in a row. South Side is a great place train and I look forward to many more years to come of training and competing with the support from Leigh and the team at South Side.

Fantastic experience: Really love training at South Side! It’s a great community and everyone is awesome. The boxing and commando classes are my favourite. Since joining I have gotten fitter and stronger. No-lock in contract is a bonus and put me at ease in case I need to hold or cancel. It’s one of the best gyms I have been a member of. Thanks legends

Fantastic experience: I have recently had the pleasure of becoming a member of South Side Fitness in St Kilda. The gym does not only have state-of-the-art gym equipment but also their martial art classes such as Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), Kickboxing and Commando have all exceeded my expectations. I particularly enjoy training BJJ under the supervision of Leigh Impey. Leigh has the ability to bring out the best out of people in every class he teaches. Her achieves that by using carefully selected techniques and intelligently structured classes which are sure to leave you breathless at the end of every class. Leigh's passion and love for BJJ comes through in every class he teaches and is highly contagious. What this means is that if you train with Leigh you will acquire invaluable and life-long skills and knowledge in every class you attend. I would highly recommend South Side Fitness gym to anyone who is interested in improving their fitness while having fun and learning new things along the way.

Fantastic experience: Great gym! Really awesome vibe, and loved working out here! I only ever used the gym, but the boxing classes always looked really fun too. The gym had all the essentials, and I never had to wait too long for anything. Lenny was super friendly and helpful when I first signed up, and also was great when I had to (regrettably) cancel my membership as I moved out of the area. He made the whole process really easy. Would recommend this gym to anyone. And would rejoin again in a heartbeat if I moved back to St Kilda.
