Behan Jiu Jitsu 1 month ago

Fantastic experience: Lachie is one of the most knowledgeable and uplifting blokes you can meet. The gym he has created is a no nonsense gym that gets it done right every time. After 17 years of Jiu Jitsu and neglecting my S&C for years, Lachie got me back into the gym pushing myself so I can turn up better for everyone. Can’t recommend this gym more highly.

Fantastic experience: The best gym! The trainers help you continuously improve your fitness, without being too intense. The community is welcoming and we’re always encouraging each other. No overcomplicated or repetitive workouts, classes are well rounded and scaleable. Trainers are knowledgeable and accommodating with adjusting workouts if you’ve got an injury.

Fantastic experience: I had never been to a gym before and was honestly pretty nervous to join; but from the moment I walked into The Bar, I felt completely welcomed. The environment is friendly, the members are supportive, and the trainers know you by name and genuinely care about your progress. They’ve helped me feel confident, stay consistent, and I’ve already seen real results — losing weight and gaining muscle. The encouragement and sense of community here is something truly special. If you’re thinking about starting your fitness journey, I can’t recommend The Bar enough.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been at the bar for five years after moving from gym to gym. After being welcomed into the bar community I’d find it hard to go anywhere else. Group sessions are tailored to fit a wide variety of skill levels so no one is ever left out or behind. Trainers are encouraging and push you to your limit without pushing past it. I can’t recommend the bar enough.

Fantastic experience: The best gym in the Toowoomba! Amazing community and atmosphere, everyone is welcomed from people who already have experience to beginners. No matter your shape, weight, medical issues or goals, they work with everyone to help them achieve their goals! Loads of different packages to choose from, 24 hour access, group classes (that suit all levels), small group personal training to really focus on goal setting, they can help with nutrition, your own workouts when you go to the gym on your own. Also with one package you can have the body scan to track your progress, seeing your fat loss, muscle gain etc. The Bar Toowoomba has changed my life for the better and so many others already, speak to the team and see how they can help change your life for the better too!

The Bar Health and Fitness

Thanks so much!

Fantastic experience: In my life I've been been a member of 4 different gyms 3 of which I didn't stick with. The 4th one is The Bar Toowoomba, it has such an amazing supportive community atmosphere. It's not daunting like other gyms because it attracts a clientele who are there for each other, that motivate each other and that celebrate each other. It's incredible.

The Bar Health and Fitness

Thanks Rory! It’s always awesome to see everyone supporting each other!

Yvonne Richters 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: The Bar was an amazing gym to be part of. You always felt welcomed and with no judgement of what level you were at. I made a lot of new friends. And a big thank you to both Danica and Conan the trainers. Without Danica to encourage and push I would never have improved my health and fitness as much as I did. Ever grateful to their support and everyone's friendship

The Bar Health and Fitness

Thanks so much Yvonne!

Fantastic experience: An incredible, community-focused gym, aimed at nurturing each persons individual approach to fitness and well-being. I’ve been a member of The Bar for over 5 years, and in that time I’ve learnt so much about setting (and achieving!) long-term goals. I could not recommend Lachie and the team more.

Thanks Nick! We appreciate the love!

Sheldon C 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: The Bar is the go to gym in Toowoomba! The atmosphere and community is welcoming and motivating. Unlike other gym goers, I've always struggled with gaining weight/muscle, training at the Bar with the support of the trainers, I've been able to crush my original gym goals and have kept progressing. The trainers are absolutely fantastic - knowledgeable, supportive, and truly invested in helping you achieve your best. If you're looking for a gym that actually supports you in achieving your fitness goals, the Bar is the go!

The Bar Health and Fitness

Thanks Sheldon! We love having you

Fantastic experience: The Bar is such a welcoming place, for gym newbies and seasoned pros alike! It is so motivating to walk into a gym where the trainers greet you by name, generously share their expertise and have a vested interest in seeing you achieve your goals. The community you experience when you join the Bar Fam is unmatched and truly what makes this gym so special. Could not recommend it more!

Fantastic experience: Great place to train, not egotistical, challenging yet rewarding and you feel like you're part of a family. I've been to a lot of gyms over the years and not seen one like this. The Bar trainers mix up the functional training to give you as much variety as possible while making it fun. I've been a member for 2 years... what more can I say.

Fantastic experience: The Bar is an awesome gym to train at everyone is so friendly and welcoming. The trainers are great and very motivated. They really take the time to help you out if you're unsure about your form when doing certain exercises etc. Group classes are amazing and they always switch it up. The classes are available during morning, arvo or night so suitable for anyones schedules.

Luke Hine 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: One thing I've learnt after years of training is consistency is king. Consistency requires motivation, support, accountability, flexibility and fun. The Bar with its trainer's and programs offer you all the tools you need to enjoy staying consistent. I spent years gym hopping, until I joined the bar. Now I've nearly been a member at The Bar for two years! I encourage anyone to come along and give it a try!

Floraboy 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: This is the only gym worth going to in Toowoomba. Sensational. Each of the trainers is 10/10; they're also really good at their jobs and highly professional. There are few things more satisfying than joining a group training session at The Bar. I would put it on the same level as waking up to the sound of a mousetrap going off - it gives you the warm and fuzzies for sure. I'm not much one for nutrition and healthy eating myself, but having listened to the trainers at The Bar and seeing the results of those who DO follow their nutritional guidelines (such as calorie tracking) I can definitely see the benefits. I think the results of members are testament to the genuine care that trainers at The Bar have for their clients, they really want to see you succeed. An anecdote: when I was younger my mother used to attend my swim meets and hockey games and cheer me on with unrivalled passion. As a kid you think it's more embarassing than anything, but as an adult you realise that more accurately, it's the unfulfilled dreams of your parents being lived vicariously through their children. The Trainers at the Bar aren't like this though, they don't push you to get results for their own glory, they really just want to see fitter, healthier, happier people walk through the door every day. So yeah 5 stars, couldn't recommend highly enough.

Fantastic experience: Been with the bar for just under a year. Not many places you go to the owner will know each person by name. The trainers are professional and have alot of knowledge in the industry. The training is focused to the individual during PT and also lots of fun. Best gym i have ever been to

Positive experience: The group sessions are great. Everyone is welcoming and encouraging. Very helpful. Trainers will personalise exercises if injured and recovering. Sessions go from 5.30 am to the evening.

Ken Denman 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Since starting in January 2019 i have now lost 16kg and looking good to hit my 12 month goal of 20kg weight loss. The trainers provide excellent support and the atmosphere is amazing from the moment you walk in. The support is not just in the gym either. There is continual support outside of hours with training partners and instructors. Would give 10 stars if it was an option

Rebecca Donaldson 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: I took a chance on a FB ad that was about a gym in Toowoomba. I had a phone from Lochie (owner) to run though my reason as to why I was looking into The Bar as my gym of choice. I was honest and said that I’d been to “conventional gyms” and had lost all motivation since moving from Victoria. I needed something different to peak my interest. My journey at the Bar has been nothing short of amazing. From my first walk through with Lochie and setting some goals and getting a good feel for the vibe, I signed up. It was only a three week challenge yet felt it was what I needed to get that kick up the butt to get myself moving again. A lot can happen in 3 weeks. My very first SPT session was with Sasha, now keep in mind is not trained a muscle since March this year and now were in to August. She was open and honest, easy to approach and tell her how I was feeling and going. I’m now with a different trainer Lachie and I’m loving his advice on technique and that he pushes me to my limit. All the trainers are super friendly and happy to help/guide/push you when you need it or they see you have the potential. The Bar is not a conventional gym. It’s a place to call home.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely loving this place. The trainers work you hard but still at your own fitness level. The classes have an amazing vibe. The community is the best.

Raj Bhullar 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: I started at the bar beginning of August a little skeptical about how much it would help, since starting I've lost 6kg is 2 months and I'm in the best shape that I've ever been. These guys push you hard every session, but also they've created a family atmosphere here where the trainers know everyone's name. Great business model and a great place to workout!

Miriam Spina 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: I've been a member of The Bar for a few months now and my health and fitness has changed dramatically in that time! I've progressed from maybe going to the gym once per week, to going several times a week, and upgrading my membership to include Personal Training, thanks to the knowledge and support of the trainers, and the wonderful community of other members. This isn't a gym you go to and put headphones in and block out the world. It's one that builds you into the family. You're greeted with a smile from the trainers, checked in on when you haven't been to sessions, and supported every step of the way, no matter your fitness level, age or gender! I'd strongly recommend The Bar. You won't be disappointed!
