Fantastic experience: No idea what the clown below is talking about, NO ONE is in this gym wearing anything religious or Pro Muslim, that's just crap!!, this a REAL gym with REAL equipment and I've only ever seen people dedicated and training hard, many women train there and are respected. Terry & Co. run a top notch gym and I've always enjoyed training there and will do for many years to come as I have in the past 4yrs. If you want girly backpacks and skinny Lycra clad plastic people everywhere, this place is not for you, normal to serious people train here even many in their 70's! Everyone has a great time and the staff are the best I have experienced at any gym.

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Marrickville. Amazing team, culture and trainers are excellent.

Caspar675 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Underrated for strength athletes and sports. ATX bars, calibrated plates, DBs up to 50kg, and there's always a platform free. I probably should be keeping this more of a secret...

Blake Engler 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I was quite apprehensive and self conscious about training and @Rubens has been the perfect fit for me. There is no judgement and there are people of all different levels of fitness working together. Ruben has been motivating and encouraging and made me feel at home from day one. I do PT and have trained with Silas and Ruben and could not speak highly enough of both of them. Their knowledge and dedication is unquestionable and they have motivated me to improve my overall fitness and health whilst also having fun. I 100% recommend @Rubens to anyone wanting a positive change in their health and fitness!

Fantastic experience: The best gym I’ve been a member of! Staff are fantastic. Equipment is kept neat and clean. The crowd is super friendly and positive (no gronks!). Highly recommend.

Tania Battello 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member at Ruben’s for over a year now & it’s been one of the best experiences. It’s the classes & the people that keep you coming back. The classes were always full of sweat & laughter. Especially Ruben’s stories & dance moves. LOL The time slots really worked for me, so you end up training With allot of the same people, so it becomes like having a PT w your bestys. I loved SFX, POUND FOR POUND (boxing) & PILATES. Love these legends. TanTan x

Madeleine Heath 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Great crowd, staff and clients. Good mix of activities. The only gym I would go to in the inner west of Sydney.

Libby Harper 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Really enjoyed my time here! Never felt unconscious or out of place even when I was starting my fitness journey & it's a genuine community of real people & solid instructors who are truly supportive to get you to your best. I actually love a spin class nowadays - who knew!

Lisa Kemball 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I thoroughly enjoy my time at Rubens gym. I’ve never felt confident at gyms but the energy and friendliness at Rubens certainly helped me feel part of the gym! You guys are legends.

Cara Grant 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Fab gym with super staff. Before joining Ruben’s, I never really enjoyed my gym experiences and rarely stuck with them. The classes at Ruben’s are fun and motivating. All instructors want you to do your personal best and push you to improve - in a really supportive way. It’s such a friendly place, not intimidating at all. I’ve improved my physical AND mental health thanks to Ruben and his team.

Alex Bilbie-Clarke 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Loved my time here. Positive welcoming vibe, not too busy and great classes. Recommend giving them a try!

Edward 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Quit my previous gym (big chain) during the lockdown and the thought of dealing with a slimy gym salesman turned me off. Wife and I took the plunge and joined Ruben’s as we wanted to get fit and motivated again and boy am I mightily impressed. Super friendly and energetic gym that welcomes you from day one, everyone in there looks like they’re having a good time even though it was clear they worked really hard. No posers or grunters, super clean place, wide open floor, and super friendly staff (who kept pushing you to work harder than you think possible). Classes are amazing and they motivate you to go as hard as you can. Playlist is brilliant too. I’m never a morning person, but I am actually looking forward to go in the mornings now, and gym never feels like a chore but felt like part of the day, just like breakfast. If you’re looking for a more personal, friendly, motivating, and rewarding gym, look no further

Karen Schultz 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I joined after the first CoVid lockdown. Being 70, I found other gyms loud and obtrusive. There are a variety of classes I can do, as well as more challenging ones for the younger set. The staff are genuinely friendly and amiable. I will continue as a member and Ng as I can.

Sean Davey 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: My wife and I are visiting Sydney for two weeks and we're spending ten days in Marrickville. My wife found @ Ruben's for me as they offer a $30/week full access trial pass. I applied (with full disclosure that I'm only here temporarily) and had such a great sign up process with a lovely staff member over the phone. They were completely okay with me joining for seven days at that great price. Since then I've been every day doing boxing classes, most at 545am and also at 930am. I've trained under Sandi, Mandy, Ruben and Silas. All the coaches are awesome and super friendly and encouraging. I love the atmosphere of the gym, real community feel, no fancy stuff, just good equipment, good bag area and lovely people. We're falling in love with Marrickville and @ Ruben's has been a great part of my stay. Highly recommended A+++

Sophie Harkin 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: The team @Rubens are incredible, knowledgeable, friendly and FUN! The quality personal training really elevated my fitness and the classes were amazing. Highly recommend training here!

Harriet Townsend 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: The absolute best gym I’ve ever been to. Have been going here with a friend for over a year. So accommodating when the pandemic hit and just wonderful classes and instructors. The place has such a great, non-judgemental, just do your thing, vibe. I used to hate feeling like I needed to be perfect to even sign up to other gyms. At Ruben’s everyone is welcome. The friendliness doesn’t just stop with the great, passionate, loveable staff. The other gym members have been just as fabulous. It’s not just fitness and health at Ruben’s but an entire community. A big thank you to the whole team, and Ruben in particular, for all the fun times.

Henry Carroll 2 years ago

Shanil Lal 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of gyms across Sydney including the CBD and Ruben’s is the best gym I have been to. No issues with equipment availability, gym equipment is clean and functional, no gym snobs, friendly trainers and atmosphere, Ruben is a lovely owner and has time when you need it. Highly recommend and save for moving suburbs I would still be here. Thanks Ruben and team. Cheers

Amelia Rickards 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I love this gym! Ruben and his team are incredibly friendly, professional and passionate about their work. I have always felt so welcomed and supported, and the staff have consistently dedicated themselves to helping me achieve my fitness goals, without pushing me to do anything I’m not comfortable with. I genuinely feel at home at Ruben’s gym and love being part of their community. Since becoming a member my physical and mental health has improved dramatically. The online membership has also been invaluable. Highly recommended!

Kirsti 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Friendly boutique gym that isn't super crowded or full of intimidating bros. Class schedule doesn't suit me personally, they're very big on the spin classes. Ruben takes the time to learn your name and say g'day.

Josh Weston 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Used this gym whilst my gym was still closed for Covid. Great equipment (bars especially), highly free weight based which is a positive. Friendly staff (favourite being Ruby) who were very welcoming and kept the facility very clean. Although I didn’t try any classes there seemed to be a wide variety, and I was pleased to see that the owner, Ruben, is an integral part of the gym, teaching classes and being on the floor. I would recommend this gym to anyone and I would have signed up if I didn’t already work at a gym and get free access.

Kelly Monisse 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: When my partner and I were looking to move back to the Inner West last year and he showed me apartments that weren’t within walking distance, my response was ‘...but... but... Ruben’s?’. When returning to your old gym, you question, ‘will it be the same!?’...It’s better. All the things I loved remained- the phenomenal instructors, the feeling of community, the great facilities with zero pretentiousness, awesome classes - and now, even more of them! Everyone is incredibly encouraging and the instructors really know the boundaries when it comes to pushing you beyond your perceived limitations of yourself, without putting you at risk of injury. I couldn’t speak more highly of this place!

Rebecca Colegrave 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Actually enjoy going to the gym felt part of the Ruben’s team from day one. Excellent selection of classes, at various times of the day (appreciated as a Hospitality worker who isn’t sure what 6am is!) Great equipment and guidance on how to use it all, with hygiene and cleanliness clearly a top priority.

K S 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: The thing I love most about @Ruben’s is that it doesn’t feel like a typical gym at all. You’re not walking into a simulated nightclub with a competitive vibe and pushy salespeople. You’re walking into a community of friendly people of all ages, sizes and fitness levels having a go and having fun. It reflects the Marrickville community as a whole – diverse, accepting and unpretentious. And the team is WONDERFUL. They know everyone by name, work their butts off and have an infectious enthusiasm. I recommend personal training sessions because it’s personalised and I learned so much. Tegan is the best!

Annika Hudson 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Absolutely awesome gym. Location is great - just on the way to Marrickville Metro. Parking is easy - making it super convenient. Coffee shops around each of the corners. Class timetable is suitable for when you're working and even if you're not working and want some later classes. Staff are amazing! Ruben is really personable and makes the gym a great place to visit. Favourite classes for me are boxing, cycle, hard circuit and kettle bells. Could not recommend this place enough. Not pretentious, great mix of people coming in which makes the early mornings easier to attend :-) I love my fitness and find you can make it work for your goals. Sign up and give it a go as I love it. Hope this review helps you decide.

Kane Wheatley 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I never thought of myself as a gym person. I like my lounge too much, however, three years ago all that changed. I decided to pop in and check out what was happening inside my local gym. I met Ruben and straight away had a great feeling about him and his business. We got chatting and like a ninja he signed me up. I rocked up the next morning for a spin class (thinking who am I). I had a great time; even if it did almost kill me. I stuck at it, and it got easier, and now the going to the gym is part of who I am. I don’t think I would have persevered if it wasn’t for Ruben and his fantastic team. The feeling of family at Ruben’s makes the early mornings so much easier. I highly recommended checking out what @Ruben’s has to offer!

Amelia Wood 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Whilst the gym I normally go to remained shut even after COVID restrictions on gyms were lifted, I decided to check out Ruben’s after a recommendation from a friend. I went to a few classes conducted by a series of different trainers including Ruben, which were enjoyably challenging. The gym facilities are fantastic, heaps of great equipment and plenty of space. I was super impressed with how clean Ruben and his team keep the gym, and not to mention they were all super lovely and welcoming. Will definitely be recommending this gym to my friends and hope to return soon.

Sarah Tonkin 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I've trained mostly with Ruben, Sandy, Lachie and Tegan and they're all a bunch of legends (shout out to Lachie for adding Missy Elliot and Timbaland to his playlist - real MVP). They mix up their classes frequently so it's always challenging and you learn something new every week. The gym is always clean, which I love because I've been to some gross ones, and it has everything you need equipment-wise if you're not into classes. Classes cover everything from cardio to strength to flexibility and mobility (Spin Bikes, Boxing, SFX, Yoga, Pilates etc) and the trainers don't slack off either. Membership is affordable too. You can go to any class as many times as you want plus have access to the gym and you don't need to sell an organ to do so.

Ste Casimiro 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: The staff @Rubens are fantastic and make this gym great. They are always friendly, helpful and extremely knowledgeable. Since becoming a member I’ve met some wonderful locals and made some great friends. Being a member of Ruben’s is like having an extended family... it was one of the things I missed during lockdown. The classes are fun, upbeat and challenging. @Rubens is a fabulous gym.

Christopher Moubarak 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: You know your're walking into a good gym when you feel the energy immediately. All staff and trainers are well mannered and always smiling and are well educated when it comes to exercise and training. Gym is spacious and always space to train what you like. Great local gym !!

Fantastic experience: Out of the 8 gyms I have been to, At Ruben's has been the most enjoyable experience. It does not feel like one of those larger commercial gyms, the environment is super friendly and accepting. I regret that I will not be going here anymore as I am moving out West. I will surely miss it. Thanks

Monika Lovgren 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I've never been a gym person until now since joining At Ruben's 3mths ago. I actually love going to the gym the environment, the classes and the energy of people who work out here. A HUGE thank you to the whole team At Ruben's for their support and encouragement!!

Leonie Sinclair 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: The whole team @Ruben are working at my fitness level to improve my health. Highly recommend this gym to others looking to get fitter. Loving the spin classes - huge call out to Lauren who manages to bring a smile to my face though the workout (so much fun) & to Ruben for his encouragement & expertise. Wish I’d joined sooner. What are you waiting for?

the bean 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Thankyou @Rubens, I always feel welcome here. The staff are professional, down to earth, kind and very, very good at their jobs. I have enjoyed excellent classes with Tegan, Ruben and Lachlan. @Rubens is a small gym with enough machines so you dont have to wait. Always clean. For the introvert- they have group classes with all solo exercises here so if (like me) you prefer not to pair up, its a win here. Its more expensive than some gyms but for me its worth it as a treat. I drive 4 suburbs past a lot of other gyms to come here, I highly recommend.

Karen Taylor 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Such an awesome gym! Ruben and the team are fantastic trainers, highly motivating and always pushing you to achieve your best result. I have also done the personal training sessions with Tegan and she definitely encourages and challenges me to achieve things I didn't know I could. @rubens is a great gym and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great to place to workout, make friends and have fun!!!

Dionne Hunter 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I love At Ruben's! I don't say this lightly as I've never been a fan of gyms but Ruben and the team are amazing! All the classes are great and I have at least 1 of each in my weekly routine. The PT sessions with Tegan are great as she takes the time to understand what my goals are and then pushes me when I need to. The recent introduction of HIIT sessions with Baz are a hit with me! A smaller group session allowing me to focus on my boxing technique with a professional trainer breaks up the larger class sessions. But mostly it's simply the people. Both members and trainers. It's like a family that genuinely cares for your well being. You know you want to join up! :-)

Ami Robertson 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend this gym as the entire @Rubens team are extremely friendly and helpful. They are all about working with you at your speed to improve your fitness and health. The team have created a fantastic culture and environment that makes you feel very welcome. Of all the gyms I've been to, this is by far the best!

Heather McDowall 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: One of the most welcoming gyms I have ever been to. Really relaxed vibe I love the variety of classes on offer as well. Boxing and SFX classes are my favourite. The trainers are genuinely friendly and approachable, and great at what they do. Feels like you are part of a family when you sign up with this gym!

Naomi Prindiville 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have always disliked the typical gym atmosphere...but @Ruben’s I felt comfortable and welcome from the very first moment I walked in. The group classes are great! There is no feeling of competition or judgement regarding your fitness level. Everyone of all ages and sizes is treated the same at this gym!(the way it should be). If you’ve given up on gyms, I would encourage you to give it one more try...@Ruben’s

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love At Rubens! I live in Lewisham and I have got a gym within 2 minutes walking distance of my house, but I was never really motivated to go as many times a week as I go now to At Rubens (which is 2 kilometers from my house). My friend and I were looking for boxingclasses on google, and that is when we found At Ruben's. We decided to take a free boxingclass to see if we liked it. It was so great we signed up for this gym the day after! Next to boxing you can enjoy other classes like SFX, spinning and yoga, which are all great classes with amazing ambitious trainers. If you rather want to work out on your own with weights, this gym has all the equipment for a good workout. They also offer sportmassages. When you sign up you get a free 30 minute massage, and I really felt that massage helped me. I have been going to many gyms over the past 6 years, but never liked one more than this one, so you will not regret signing up to this gym!

Colleen Cunningham 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Went from hating every gym I'd ever joined, and just using gyms to walk on a treadmill, to being actually excited about attending! All the trainers, in particular Ruben, Teagan and Lachlan are so attentive and helpful, everyone is always willing to help you, and I've never felt lost or awkward there! So happy I found this amazing, friendly gym with a great atmosphere.

Clare 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Love this place, so inviting and friendly especially to the gym newbie like me! The yoga classes are amazing, with a great space to clear the mind. The PT's and Massage Therapists are very dedicated and awesome at what they do! Thanks to the team at Rubens :) I fully recommend this place.

Charlotte Michonneau 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve never really been into gyms before but since joining At Ruben’s almost 2 years ago, I wouldn’t be able to live without coming almost every day now… Staff and members alike are friendly and know you by your name. The trainers are competent and the varied classes (cardio, strength, fitness, boxing, yoga, personal training, etc.) are of high quality and always offer different exercises. You’re working out in a clean and fresh environment where you don’t have to wait to use the equipment and where the ratio men/women is probably around 50/50 with people of different fitness levels, ages and background. On top of that, regular various workshops, events and social gathering are organised and you can even refuel with great coffee and fresh fruits provided by the owner. You’re not just a number At Ruben’s, you feel like you’re a valued individual and you’re part of a community. Coming here, you will definitely improve, get better, sweat and reach your goals while having fun and making friends. I would recommend At Ruben’s Health and Fitness gym to everyone!

Erica Mallett 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I would recommend Ruben's to anybody and everybody. My experience there has been nothing but positive. To being greeted with a smile every time I walk in, to the relaxed atmosphere, and the awesome equipment - this is the best gym I've ever been a member of.

Meg Anderson 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Had the pleasure of being a @Ruben’s member while living in Marrickville. Ruben is always about, and every staff member is super friendly and approachable if you wish. They also leave you to your own devices if you so desire as well. Great range of equipment so you don’t get bored, and plenty of character. I’m sad to leave (because we left the area), but would highly recommend to anyone.

Luke Poulton 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great Gym. Hardly any down time on waiting for equipment during your workout. Really helpful and friendly staff with an awesome atmosphere. Unfortunately I had to leave because of new life schedule. If i get a chance to train again there is no other gym I would rather be a member of.

Dominique Chevrant 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: Ok, where do I start…? I have been a member @ Rubens for just over 2 months now and I love it! How good is a gym: Where the owner brings in some fresh apples from his parents’ farm to treat the clients? Where owners, instructors and clients alike are all friendly and actually talk to you? Where instructors correct you and encourage you even if you are training on your own/outside a class? Where the group classes are challenging and fun at the same time? Where you actually look forward to the very first Monday Am class to see what’s in store? Where membership is capped so that you don’t become just a number? Where the Spin studio is absolutely fabulous? Where your opinion and suggestions count? Yep, @ Rubens is all of above and more...

Anna Ioannidou 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: First time ever I really enjoy going to the Gym: The people are genuine and friendly, the staff is professional but relaxed, the facilities are modern and the group classes keep you coming back. Love the SFX and Boxing especially. I very much like the IOS App for booking classes! Ruben also bring and shares the best fruit ever -from his parent's farm. Good work guys!

Lucy Roberts 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: At Rubens is without a doubt the best gym I have ever been a member of. With amazing, dynamic classes which are challenging and fun paired with the best results-driven personal training sessions I have ever taken, At Rubens is not just a gym it's a lifestyle. The staff are fantastic, knowledgable, enthusiastic and always there to support and encourage you and there is a great atmosphere of teamwork in the gym between the members and staff alike. I couldn't recommend Ruben and his outstanding team more!
