Fantastic experience: This gym has an amazing atmosphere! Highly recommended the latin spin classes, Marta is an amazing spin class teacher, so much fun and so much energy. I've lost 8 kilos doing her class while laughing and enjoy every moment.

Petra Musa Jakšić 1 month ago

Fantastic experience: We are tourists who were staying nearby and wanted a daily pass and we encountered the friendliest staff member working on the reception. He is amazing! Great gym as well, good equipment, a lot of different options and a lot of free weights. The women’s locker room is also beautifully equipped with a lot of products which was so nice to see. 10/10

Tony Camargo 1 month ago

Fantastic experience: City Gym exceeded all my expectations! I’ve been training here for 3 months now, and it has been an amazing experience. I’d been searching for a gym like this for ages, and I finally found it. The location is perfect, the facilities are top-notch, and the atmosphere is exactly what I needed. The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, and Lee’s service in particular is exceptional — always professional, caring, and motivating. I also love that they have amazing shakes and great food right on the premises. It truly feels like a community-oriented space where everyone supports each other. Huge congratulations to the team — you’ve created something special. Highly recommend!

Rezi Mazi 5 months ago

Positive experience: Downstairs ventilation is not enough and you can feel the odours clearly. The locker key borrow system is also uneasy. The staffs are not always attentive and it usually turns to a stop point rather than a smooth check in experience

City Gym

Hi Rezi, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate you letting us know about the ventilation and check-in concerns. Your comments help us identify where we can improve, and we’ll be reviewing these points with our team to ensure a smoother experience moving forward.

Melissa Lea 5 months ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve seen a few recent reviews claiming this gym isn’t inclusive, and honestly, that couldn’t be further from the truth! In my experience, this place goes above and beyond to make every member of the community feel welcome, respected, and supported. The staff create a friendly, inclusive environment for people of all backgrounds, abilities, and fitness levels, and they genuinely care about everyone’s wellbeing. Safety is always a top priority, and it’s clear they work hard to make sure all patrons feel comfortable and looked after. I couldn’t recommend this gym more highly!

City Gym

Thank you so much, Melissa! Your words mean a lot to us. We’re thrilled to hear that you feel welcomed and supported at City Gym, creating an inclusive, respectful, and safe environment for everyone is something we truly value. We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and for being part of our community! - City Gym Management

Negative experience: Formerly iconic local gym , with a close knit , welcoming clientele. Unfortunately there has been no investment in equipment and the place is falling apart Also ; Jewish community not safe or welcome here. Luckily there’s a plethora of modern , inclusive gyms in the area that i can take my $ to. A

City Gym

zachary woody 6 months ago

Fantastic experience: My son and I were looking for a place to train for the week while in Sydney. This place had pretty much everything we needed and was within walking distance. DB up to 150lbs, free weights, lots of machines, and some cables. Had a plyo type area on second level as well as Locker rooms and bathrooms (which were clean). Pretty easy to work in even in the busy times. People were friendly and chill. The owner was a really nice guy as well encourage my kid to keep putting in work. I think it was $25 Australian (like $15 USD) per day which wasn’t too bad or $99 ($65ish USD) for the week.

City Gym

Hi Jason, thanks so much for your awesome review! We’re really glad you and your son enjoyed training with us while you were in Sydney. It’s great to hear you made good use of the facilities — and just so you know for next time, our dumbbells actually go up to 200 lbs for anyone looking to push a bit heavier!

We appreciate your kind words about our team and the atmosphere here. Hope to see you both again on your next visit to Sydney. - City Gym Management

Jason Green 7 months ago

Positive experience: Interesting selection of equipment, nice environment. Very abrupt man at the front desk, didn’t look happy to be there, defs didn’t feel that way when he was serving me. The older aged man could’ve been having a bad day, hope he’s alright. Other than that, nice gym. No where to pose as well.

City Gym

Hi Jason, thank you for taking the time to leave a review and for your feedback. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the equipment selection and overall environment.

We’re sorry to hear about your experience at the front desk — that’s not the standard of service we aim to provide. We’ll follow this up with the team to ensure all members and guests feel welcome and supported when they visit. Hopefully, it was just an off day, as you mentioned.

Also, just to let you know — we do have a room upstairs that’s dedicated to posing, and it’s available for use whenever there isn't a class running at the time. Feel free to ask our staff next time and we’ll be happy to show you where it is.

Thanks again for your feedback — we hope to see you back soon! – City Gym Management

It means a lot to us that you feel the inclusivity too. Creating a welcoming, supportive space for the LGBTQIA+ community is something we’re truly proud of. Can’t wait to see you back in the gym smashing your goals!

Bailey Pitts 8 months ago

Negative experience: Feel a bit like I was lied to. I specifically signed up to this gym because it has a steam room included in its membership. Steam-room doesn’t work from what I’ve gathered. Multiple times waiting almost 40mins in a lukewarm box filled with a bunch of guys standing around awkwardly clearing their throats. Not really the health and wellness you expect when looking forward to a steam-room sesh post workout.

City Gym

Hi Bailey, Thanks for your feedback — we really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.
We're sorry to hear the steam room hasn’t met your expectations. The good news is that it is currently working, but we understand how it might feel otherwise if you catch it during a lower cycle.
To explain a bit more: the steam room is designed to cycle through temperatures for safety and efficiency. It reaches its peak temperature, then gradually drops by around 7 degrees before heating back up again. This is a normal part of its operation, but we understand it can feel underwhelming if you're in there during the cooler part of the cycle — especially after a tough workout.
We’re doing our best to ensure the experience is as consistent and enjoyable as possible, and your feedback helps us improve. If you’d like to chat further or if there’s anything we can do to help, feel free to reach out directly.

Fantastic experience: City Gym is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, you can feel the positive energy and welcoming vibe. The staff are incredibly friendly, professional, and always ready to help, making you feel like part of a fitness family rather than just another member. The equipment is top-notch, super clean, and well-maintained, catering to all fitness levels—from beginners to seasoned athletes. What really sets City Gym apart is the community atmosphere.

Whether you’re looking to smash fitness goals, build confidence, or just move your body in a great environment—City Gym is the place to be. Highly recommend!

Marcel Denschel 10 months ago

Fantastic experience: My favourite gym in Sydney. You feel that the focus is on community and fitness. The team and members are always welcoming and friendly! The equipment has fantastic basics and machines for advanced athletes. It’s always clean and machines are well maintained! Only thing that needs improvement is the locker situation, sometimes it’s hard to find a free one.

City Gym

Hi Marcel, thank you so much for the fantastic review! We’re honoured to be your favourite gym in Sydney and really appreciate your kind words about our community, team, and equipment. We’re also grateful for your feedback about the lockers — we completely understand how that can be frustrating during peak times, and it’s something we’re actively looking into improving. It means a lot to have members like you who value both the vibe and the facilities. We’re so glad you’re part of the City Gym family!

Negative experience: This gym is ridiculous. They never informed me that the lockers are for one-time use. Without any warning, they cut my lock and removed all my stuff. The lock was the last thing my friend left to me, and they destroyed it. I canceled my membership straight away.

Fantastic experience: Great gym with a great sense of community and staff. Has everything you need, lots of variety. Disagree with any comments about it being too busy, it’s the most accessible gym on & off peak I’ve found in the city radius. Building has some AC & plumbing issues but they do their best!

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym. I had a 5 week holiday in Australia and frequented this Gym. Very good community feel. Everyone from staff to fellow members are great. Facility is awesome. You can tell that everyone here enjoys what they do. Protein Muffins and smoothies are A+++ too. I wish there was a Gym like this where I am from in the USA. I’ll be sending all of my friends from the USA to this gym if they visit Sydney. Thanks City Gym! I can’t wait to be back.

Jason Berkeley 1 year ago

Positive experience: How does this have so many four and five star reviews? This place may have been refurbished, but it’s still a run down, shoddy place outside of where they hold private classes. The locker rooms are falling apart, the equipment is old, they pack WAY too much equipment into the tiny bit of space they have, and whole place smells kind of weird.

Marielle Shan Albores 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: One of the best gyms located in the city! They have a lot of machines and space to do your dynamic stretches. Shower rooms are kept clean even late at night. Gets packed around 5-7pm though!

Ben Karl 1 year ago

Positive experience: City Gym is a busy gym that caters to a diverse range of gym-goers. However, it's worth noting that City Gym can get extremely busy during peak times. The influx of members often leads to crowded spaces and longer wait times for equipment, which can be frustrating for those looking to complete there set workout. Flexibility to your workout plan is key here. Another aspect that requires attention is the condition of the bathrooms. While functional, they often leave much to be desired in terms of cleanliness and maintenance. Broken lockers are a common sight, and the showers and toilets sometimes emit very unpleasant smells, detracting from the overall experience. Despite these drawbacks, City Gym still offers a solid fitness experience with its wide range of amenities and friendly staff. There is an also a sauna/spa hidden away in the bathroom facilities. Overall, if you're willing to overlook the occasional inconvenience, City Gym provides a decent workout environment with plenty of opportunities to achieve your fitness goals. Just be prepared for the hustle and bustle during peak times and manage your expectations regarding restroom facilities.

Kazusa Higashioka 2 years ago

Positive experience: I like the gym itself, there are lots of machines, staff are nice and most people there are nice too. The only thing is there are few aggressive guys who can get downright mean - they don't understand some people use their phone to track their workouts so they will actually yell at you for "sitting around" even when you are just recording stats and taking 45s rest between sets... and they will also be rude to other people who try to stop them. For beginners I recommend going really early or late to avoid these guys.

A M 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I love CG. The equipment and machines are top-tier (lots of niche pieces which are perfect for bodybuilders), atmosphere is great, and the community is fantastic. The front desk staff are friendly and welcoming. The cafe space is a great perk. Bathrooms are spacious and have all amenities that you need - including hair styling tools and an iron. Plenty of lockers and you can BYO lock or the desk staff will provide one for loan. Plenty of nearby street parking available too.

M SO 2 years ago

Positive experience: The gym is fantastic with excellent facilities and a great atmosphere. However, there's an issue with the personal trainers who often use two or three pieces of equipment at once for combined exercises. This practice can be frustrating, as it takes up the equipment for much longer than a typical workout routine, causing delays for other gym-goers. It's something that could be improved to make the experience even better.

City Gym

Thanks for the great review and for sharing your feedback, M So! We’re really glad you had a mostly positive experience at City Gym. We totally understand that music volume can affect the workout vibe, especially for those who like to tune into their own playlists or podcasts. We’ll definitely take this on board and see what we can do to strike a better balance. Hope to see you back in the gym soon! – City Gym Management

Грозовая Тучка 2 years ago

Negative experience: I was a member till today. It’s time to say goodbye to Extremely rude tattooed bold guy at the front desk. I don’t train much but as a Russian I love going to sauna and I have to set up my timer because I do 3 x 15 min rounds. Yes, there is a sign to not use the phone but also theres no watch to track the time, so I had to use my phone timer for sauna. Also there’s no sign for old perv to do their wanky-panky in sauna. And you better fix that because for the past 2 months that I go here I feel extremely uncomfortable when old dudes staring at you in GYM SAUNA and sneak-playing! I strongly suggest you to avoid this place

Hugo Ray 2 years ago

Positive experience: Good equipment and facilities. Only reason giving 3 stars is because of the music being much too loud. Background music is always good, but cant even hear your own music with earphones in.

C 2 years ago

Negative experience: A bit of an identity crisis I believe. Gym acts more like a club by blasting music down your ears. If you wanna feel like your in some den of a club, while occasionally being able to lift some weights on the side, go here. If you want to really work out, go to an actual serious gym. Completely understand if listening to obnoxiously loud poor music while working out is your thing, but save your money and bring your shake weight to a night club instead.

Paige Platt 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great gym !!! Everything you want/need is here, suitable for Olympic Weightlifting and Powerlifting.

Fantastic experience: Great independent gym, spread across three levels with a space for everyone. Lots of squat racks on the weights floor and even a boxing ring. Most people who go in the evenings are serious fitness fanatics, but everyone is very friendly and welcoming. Staff are very helpful and nice

Fantastic experience: Josephine from the Cafe is wonderful and provides really healthy fresh food. The cafe is a great addition to the refurbished gym. I had a massage from Sonny who was great. Very personable, knew what he was doing and even followed up with me a couple of days later to see how things were. Thanks.

Fantastic experience: Most iconic gym in Sydney for a reason. Billy & the team at City Gym are awesome. 3 levels, all the equipment you can think of and dedicate classes, yoga and pilates - it’s everything you need to achieve your goals and stay fit and healthy.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been at City Gym for 6 months and it has been fantastic! There is plenty of equipment (normally 2 of each machine) and space for you to workout. The people are lovely and there’s always reception available (which you don’t get with many other 24hr gyms). Would definitely recommend giving it a go!

City Gym

Hi Will,We are so happy to hear that you've enjoyed your time at City Gym. We look forward to seeing you around more!City Gym Team

Positive experience: One of the best gym in Sydney. It’s big enough (3 floors) so you can comfortably choose and do your exercises. All kinds of equipment & machines that you need for training. City gym team / staff are really nice and friendly.

Talei Smith 2 years ago

Negative experience: I’m currently a member Hi there I have a complaint to raise against your staff culture at this gym. I’ve been meaning to for awhile but tonight I’ve had it. We have had numerous troubles with signing up last year and not being processed properly by three different staff members, twice. That would have been fine had the customer service been good. But it’s not good at your front of desk. Sydney’s most welcoming gym it really is not. I’ve lost count of the number of times front desk staff haven’t bothered to acknowledge my existence even sitting at the desk because they’re too busy gossiping either with each other or with a passing customer. Tonight the person I was with got called over immediately after scanning in by the staff member working behind the desk at 739pm tonight. He was addressed as “hey! White t shirt guy!” Instead of by his name. This is an absolute gross lack of manners. He got told to leave his bag, despite the fact that four other people on the gym floor had their bags on them. At least be consistent if you’re going to try and enforce a rule. If there was another gym within 2 minutes I would have left last year. I have ignored all the trash things about this gym, including how messy the gym floor is how inconsiderate its members are with handles and pull bars and weights being left everywhere. Cheers

Jake Abrahams 2 years ago

Positive experience: Meant to be a serious gym for bodybuilders and power lifters but they make you leave your bag in a locker upstairs so that you don’t have access to your equipment. Plus there’s not always a good room to stretch/foam roll. whilst the lifting platforms are good it’s long past it’s hey day.

Dan Murphy 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: A Fitness Paradise in the Heart of the City! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ City Gym is a hidden gem that exceeds all expectations! From the friendly and knowledgeable staff to the inclusive community and top-notch facilities, this place is a game-changer. From humble beginnings in 78 it has adapted and kept up with fitness trends over the years solidifying its place as one of the best gyms in the city. The moment you step inside, you're greeted with a vibrant atmosphere and genuine smiles. The equipment and maintained workout areas cater to all fitness levels, ensuring you'll never have to wait for a machine. The trainers are exceptional and are always happy to chat. What sets City Gym apart is its commitment to inclusivity and community. People of all backgrounds come together here, fostering a supportive community that inspires and makes the environment feel like home. City Gym is a fitness sanctuary where aspirations are nurtured, limits are shattered, and you'll leave feeling rejuvenated. It's a must visit for anyone seeking a transformative fitness journey. Trust me you'll have a great experience. Tell Billy I sent you

Richard Cristina (Rich) 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: City Gym is listed as the most inclusive and welcoming gym and when I went in for a 3 day pass as a visitor from London I understood why. Enzo at the front desk was a star. He and his colleague made me feel so welcomed and really made sure I knew my way around and was OK across the 3 days. The gym has a great range of equipment and is quite large. The cafe at the front serves delicious protein shakes and meals that are reasonably priced too. Also served with a friendly smile . I’d highly recommend to join if you’re local or visiting make this your gym. 5 stars.

Fantastic experience: Easily one of the best gyms I’ve been to. It has a massive range of equipment which is regularly serviced by the owner - usually fixed within an hour or two if there’s an issue. The gym is always staffed and the people who work here are passionate and friendly (I’m looking at you, Enzo). Really great vibe, highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Just settling back into Sydney and this neighborhood gym has everything my husband & I need. Great variety of weight machines, free weights, squat racks, classes, functional space, etc. Membership pricing is very reasonable and has a good variety based on what you’re looking for. Staffs are friendly and helpful. Shoutout to Magnolia for the assistance esp on our first day in the gym!

Emma Brady 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: City Gym is an incredible gym and I feel fortunate that I found such a great community of people. If you're a serious bodybuilder/lifter then City Gym has you covered. The range of equipment is top notch and they recently invested in a whole array of new Booty Builder equipment. I always felt safe and welcome at City Gym and the environment that has been created is inclusive and welcoming. As a female lifter this was a real plus for me. Sadly due to moving away, I'm leaving City Gym, but I will continue to recommend it to people in the area. A fantastic gym.

Jaimie Baillie 3 years ago

Negative experience: Is it open or still closed as 15 people caught covid? So much for the double jab being of use.

City Gym

Hi Jaimie.Thanks and yes we are open and multiple deep cleans have been undertaken. We were never shut down. Doors are open for you anytime to come in. We are sorry for the inconvenience but 15 people didn't catch Covid in the premises, they caught it outside and brought it in.RegardsCity Gym Sydney

Bjorn Doherty 3 years ago

Negative experience: Very difficult to exit. I told them I was going overseas and suggested I cancel while I was away. They said I could just pause my account. But when I get back and found out they automatically un-paused while I was away 5 months ago and I've been paying since. Called twice to try and sort it and they said they will call me back. No one has called.
