Bentleigh Fitness Centre

Fantastic experience: Love this gym have been going for the past 3 years and it’s been great. Always have a good workout in the functional red room and by far the best sauna I have been too. Special shout out to Cian behind the desk, always very friendly and has great advice!

Negative experience: Very upset and I turned out to my trial today with a booked class and reception didn't let me in because I didn't have the physical paper pass. They had me on the system, knew who I was and with booked class. This was made up police they couldn't show where it was written. Manager could not be reached to resolve the issue. Totally ridiculous.

Fantastic experience: Really enjoyed this gym mainly trained in the women’s area. Unfortunately had to end my contract due to illness but will return once fit to exercise. Wanted to leave feedback because the cancellation request was the easiest process, staff were lovely, no questions asked which was so refreshing compared to other gyms where I’ve had to jump through hoops and chase up! Highly recommend.

Negative experience: Sauna and steam room are grimy and often stink. Sauna doesn't get hot enough, people sitting in there for hours like it's normal. Gym equipment is all old and wack. Place is only decent for old people and people that don't really workout.

Fantastic experience: Great place to work out.

Positive experience: Good equipment. Needs earlier opening hours and changed rooms need cleaning more

Negative experience: Rude management. Makes sense though, cheapest gym in the area. Gives them a “go on then leave” attitude. Kindness doesn’t cost a thing. Don’t work in customer service, if you’re miserable.

Fantastic experience: Great gym. Ample space. Different areas to train in based on your goals. Friendly environment. Great customer service. Just wish they had more strength equipment!

Fantastic experience: A terrific, friendly environment to work out! Staff are very approachable especially Nicola and Claudia at the front desk, and Crystelle and Michael who are always willing to provide guidance and advice about exercises. Thanks team!

Fantastic experience: Best gym! Such good value, especially for students. So much gym space and equipment, pool, spa, sauna, steam room and classes. The staff and PTs are also really helpful.

Negative experience: Not a bad gym but seriously rude and stressing staff. You don't need it when you just want to work out and go. If you don't need the hassle after work I recommend avoiding. Pool also is closed until 7pm for lessons and you need a staff member to open it up for you. She will sigh and tell you in a rude way after opening it that she thought "you would have known already" (even if it's your first time there). They have wall of lockers but no locks. I thought that was pretty funny. So bring a lock. Sauna was standing room only so also a no go.

Fantastic experience: Used this gym for a month while I am staying at my friends house near by. Good Gym. Clean, friendly staff, enough space, various machines and very good sauna. I will use this gym again for sure.

Negative experience: Why put up there closes at 10pm then underneath subject to Xmas times? Either your open till 10pm or your not. It's not hard to advise of the actual hours surely

Negative experience: Caution to new members: My car keys stolen twice. Other members valuables over the last few months have also been taken. The facilities and front of house staff are good. Although not a lot of atmosphere in the main gym area, equipment is OK for a basic trainer. Just a warning to patrons though - My car keys were stolen from the pigeon hole area never to be returned and then one month later my new set were taken once again. With ample security cameras and sign in sign out scanning of all members, it was disappointing that Larisa the gym managers gave little assistance to myself or the police advising that the footage had been erased on the first theft. On the second occurrence I was simply advised by a short email that ' the matter was closed' and no proper review of footage or even a quick email to the 20 or so members who had come in and out in the short time period the keys had gone missing occurred to query. I understand the apparent responsibility is with myself leaving property (along with everyone else's) in the common communal pigeon hole area but some assistance to a long time member would have been appreciated. Myself and several friends have had to leave the gym fearing the day my car will be simply unlocked and taken whilst we train.

Negative experience: A little disappointed. I joined the gym last week in effort to lose weight/get fitter after breaking my leg a few months ago. After joining, a colleague of mine advised of a gym they frequent, which is close to our work and easier for us to go before/after work. I called to see if I was able to cancel. Whilst I understand that joining with the special deal of saving a couple of dollars a week, means that you are locked in for 3 months (without a cooling off period), I would have thought that being a fitness centre, they may appreciate that working out with someone is better then alone. I was more than happy to pay an additional couple of weeks for the inconvenience. After the staff member chatted to the manager, my request was denied to cancel. I had joined this gym a couple of times prior, and ended up leaving due to lack of motivation (on my own), and was going to try again this year in the hopes of success. I understand that there would have been hard times due to COVID, and if I had been there a long time already, I would have understood - but we are literally talking about a week. I guess they are only about the money, not about changing lives. Needless to say, that after my 4 months are up, I will be leaving and will not return in the future. I had already tried to get other people to join, but sadly I was unsuccessful.

Positive experience: Good gym, standard equipment but multiple of each machine and weight so plenty to go around. Good range of classes. Great sauna. Only downside is the lack of classes at that 7am / before work time.

Fantastic experience: Not sure where the above reviewer was, this is an excellent, clean, fully equipped gym with something for everyone. The staff are very enthusiastic, approachable and knowledgeable. Additionally the price is incredibly affordable and is great value for money. Would definitely recommend coming down.

Fantastic experience: Excellent facilities, clean and friendly. Lots of classes, an amazing pool as well as your spa, sauna and steam room. All up everything you need for a great gym.

Fantastic experience: I've been a gym junkie for years but honestly this is my favorite gym in the area. The staff are always helpful and friendly and the gym has such a great variety of equipment. The boxing classes are amazing and really easy to book.

Fantastic experience: This is the awesome place hidden in the bushes. Once getting in, you’ll be surprised at firstly the spacious rooms and secondly the variety of its facilities. It’s got everything you need for your workout even spa and sauna.

Fantastic experience: This is the best gym in the area, the choice of classes is amazing and the fact they have a seperate ladies gym is really good. The reception staff and management have been supper helpful and friendly over the last couple of years since I have joined. I love coming to this gym as i feel really comfortable compared to other gyms I have been too.

Fantastic experience: Love them. Been going here for more than 5 years now. They make up and review your personal programs - no fuss.

Fantastic experience: lovely and clean facility with great classes i would like to have more zumba options on also fantastic to see the bentleigh staff wearing great masks. great alrownd experience team

Fantastic experience: Extremely helpful staff. Great facilities. Haven't been able to use Sauna, steam room or spa yet as it was always occupied.(covid rules).. Not bad thing to say about this fitness centre. I'm a senior and had plenty of equipment to use for my level

Fantastic experience: Very good.

Fantastic experience: Best gym and staff great pool

Fantastic experience: This is a great value gym with a pool, sauna, plenty of squat racks and classes.

Fantastic experience: Amazing variety of classes, heaps of different spaces to work out in, the staff are always super friendly and the overall atmosphere is amazing

Negative experience: Victoria hits 31 days of zero covid cases.... i am turned away from using facility for not having a mask upon entering.... Advised I have a medical condition, facility wants proof & documentation from my GP... Absolute joke

Positive experience: Good gym, good facilities and friendly staff. One thing that is missing is looking at a free gym assessment to help establish new members.

Fantastic experience: I'm a new member and i'm really loving the variety of classes. Can't wait to check out all the different areas - they look great!

Negative experience: Horrible customer service from Nina, one of the supervisors. Everyone else including us the PT’s are great and friendly people. After some confusion with promotions, Nina undermined me and spoke in a very condescending tone. I understood quickly that the supervisor is not someone very pleasant and for a place that prides itself on customer service I was very disappointed.

Negative experience: One of the worst gyms I have ever been to. Why have a booking system when all they do is cancel on you without even a phone call. I booked a Pilates class on Tuesday and was told on arrival that they cancelled my booking! Absolutely pathetic!!

Fantastic experience: Amazing facilities Friendly staff Beast trainer Covid friendly

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym, the staff and members are so friendly. Equipment is well maintained, readily available all the time and best of all its not full of meat head bodybuilders grunting and throwing weights around. I highly recommend this gym for peaceful and effective workouts. the personal trainers there are great too!

Fantastic experience: practical and affordable. staff are friendly. not fancy but a good local gym to go. ps. pool water are nice and warm.

Fantastic experience: Bentleigh Fitness Centre is more than a great fitness centre, it's an amazing community full of friendly members and a team that will support you along the way. They create such a fun and dynamic environment making you feel so welcome right from the start. I enjoy the different classes from meditation, hot yoga to reformer pilates. And my favourite is the cross fitness class which are high energy and even though lifting weights is tough, I love them! The best part is the ladies only gym which has all the equipment like the main studio and you have the spa and sauna to relax after your workout.

Fantastic experience: Been going to this gym for over a year now and no complaints. Staff are really friendly and helpful. The variety of classes that this gym offers is amazing especially for the price you pay. I might like to add the ladies area that they have at this gym is fantastic.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic value gym with superb offerings. Would recommend to women especially as there is a women’s only workout space without sacrificing anything- full class schedule, pool, spa and anything else you can think of!

Fantastic experience: The best gym I have ever visited. Access to classes like Zoomba,Pilates,yoga, Xtraining and the list goes on with 1 membership . Access to wet area which includes sauna,spa,steam and Pool. Got separate space for women to workout and always there is a room for everyone. Friendly staff - I would recommend this place as it motivates to workout more

Fantastic experience: Best gym I've been at hands down. The range of classes on offer is worth the membership cost alone. Great weights and cardio rooms. Friendly and helpful staff.

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym! Recently joined with my partner and we absolutely love it. It has everything you could need, a great range of classes and everything is super clean. All staff are lovely and welcoming, it has a wonderful atmosphere! Can’t recommend high enough

Positive experience: BFC used to have some amazing staff at the reception; warm, friendly and helpful. Since recently there is some new reception staff, who I note do not even take the effort to greet the members, even making some eye contact and smiling seem to be too hard for them. The facilities are so nice, but it would be nicer to have some friendly staff as we enter.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of Bentleigh Fitness Centre since January 2020 and have no intention of leaving anytime soon. Just love the sense of community there, everyone is so friendly and supportive, especially the trainers. The variety of fitness classes that BFC has is truly incredible and there is something or the other for every age group and fitness level. Truly speaking I cannot think of any other gym in the neighbourhood which offers the same or more facilities and amenities under one single roof. You have a main gym, ladies gym, pool, Spa & Sauna, and various studios to exercise based upon your interests. If you are looking for a starting point, a restart, a change or some fun definitely check out Bentleigh Fitness Centre

Fantastic experience: Great to get back to gym. Time to get the weight off again.

Fantastic experience: Everything you could ever need from a gym plus a sauna, pool and spa. No brainer

Fantastic experience: Pool, gym and spa altogether. Don't want anything else.

Fantastic experience: Amazing staff with very helpful attitude and smile on face. Nice and clean gym with many extra facilities like spa, sauna and steam room. Highly recommended. One must try at least their 5 day free pass. Thanks to the staff for providing a great service.

Fantastic experience: Love it! It has all the equipment that I need, a ’Ladies only’ section, spa, swimming pool, reformer Pilates, and a myriad of classes available - all in my gym membership!! The instructors are very knowledgeable and helpful - and it is cheap! Lovely, helpful reception staff too. I love this gym!

Fantastic experience: cheap weekly price for great access to facilities

Fantastic experience: My favourite gym - professional staff & clean!

Fantastic experience: Great gym, great staff, great value!

Fantastic experience: Great variety of newish equipment and good classes. Great price for a non locked in contract.

Fantastic experience: Extremely friendly place. A very wide range of classes and professional team. Feel blessed to be part of this place.

Fantastic experience: Best value gym with the newest and best facilities in Melbourne Niv Berkovich

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym... my personal favourite is spa section

Fantastic experience: Great facilities and equipment and the helpfull staff are super approachable. Highly recommended if you live in the area.

Fantastic experience: Friendly and helpful staff, great facilities, huge range of classes. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: So happy with the service and facilities. Since renovations it is seriously the best value gym going around!

Fantastic experience: I've been a member here for almost a year and couldn't recommend this place enough. Great facilities, the timetable that can suit any lifestyles and very friendly and helpful stuff that always go above and beyond.

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym! Love the sauna and spa too. Most reasonable gym around with a great atmosphere. Wife loves the ladies gym and classes too!

Fantastic experience: Such good stuff who are always helpful ! The facilities are great and so much space to move around and enjoy my workout, the instructors are super friendly and always explain what to do! Would highly recommend !

Fantastic experience: This studio is great value for little money! Very friendly staff, all in one place: pool, Pilates beds, gym, martial arts, ladies gym, physiology, spinning, wellness area, etc etc etc. I am very happy with what they have on offer!

Fantastic experience: Loving the variety of classes and training provided by the PT’s! High quality equipment, facilities and resources! Such a friendly and positive environment, wish I had signed up sooner!

Fantastic experience: Such a great gym. Clean, lots of equipment, friendly staff and opening hours accommodate well to my lifestyle.

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym. Great classes. I love reformer Pilates in particular and the ladies gym! Everyone is really friendly and helpful!

Fantastic experience: Great facility and good location. Staff are nice and friendly. I have attended several types of group classes and do feel the difference happened to my body.

Fantastic experience: This gym is the best in the area. The staff are friendly and down to earth. Ive been coming here for 2 years, moved suburbs and still continue coming here. Thank you guys for all the love and support.

Fantastic experience: I couldn't find a better place. The facility is huge and beyond the big (and quality) gym, you get access to a professional swimming pool, sauna+jacuzzi, and specified rooms for an endless amount of fitness classes -from pilates, yoga and meditation to boxing, muay thai, crossfit and power workouts. This all comes in amazing value. I would highly recommend anyone to just walk in and check it out. You'll be signed up in no time.

Fantastic experience: I have been coming for over a year now the staff are very friendly they have a huge variety of classes that are fun. The weight room is very large to accomodate lots of people. Love coming here for fitness. Lauren

Fantastic experience: Friendly and easygoing staff, and great facilities, where you can find almost everything under one roof ( have become even better after the last renovations). I used to live in Bentleigh, have moved to St Kilda 6 months ago, still going to the Bentleigh fitness centre and will do so!

Fantastic experience: Bentleigh Fitness Centre has not only helped me feel confident in my own body, but has made a mental change in my mind to become more happy and have more energy. Can’t thank the team enough for building my strength and making gym my happy place

Fantastic experience: I've been coming to this gym for 14 years and absolutely love it. I find it very friendly it's like a family gym. It also has changed so much very modern

Fantastic experience: 5 Stars! The fitness centre is the best in the area. It has numerous areas to work out including a huge cardio section, weights, functional studio, ladies gym and a pool! There are heaps of classes to choose from. I attend the the yoga, barre and pilates classes and they are excellent. It's open early and closes late, plus the gym is always staffed during opening hours.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of Bentleigh Fitness Centre for many years and I have no need nor intention to look anywhere else. The facilities are great, the staff are dedicated and friendly, but very importantly for me, it is laid back, not pretentious, and there is no need to wear anything new or fancy - shorts, tshirts and a good attitude.

Fantastic experience: My Me Time place! - Cardio, fitness, strength training, zen and wonderfully sociable members all in one place, and with the nicest caring and professional team led by the ever smiling Fiona. Where else can you smash yourself at Cross Fit, then calm down with yoga, followed by a steam or sauna and then a spa or a swim. Do them all in one day or take advantage of all the sessions (over 120 per week) and facilities available throughout the week like I do. This place is virtually a health spa for free at the price. Highly recommend. Did I mention Polly the Massage Therapist/Myotherapist too (for an additional fee but well worth it)

Fantastic experience: Great facilities and classes. Most of the teachers are amazing, with the exception of cycle who I found to be condescending at times. However, have had an overall amazing experience here so far and they have fantastic membership prices as well!

Negative experience: This gym is reducing the Mat Pilates evening classes even though the number of people attending is high. The management makes no effort to replace their instructors when they go on long leave and cancel classes instead of having replacement instructors. They increase prices and reduce the classes they offer. The management care factor is zero.

Positive experience: Lovely gym, fantastic PT's who are easy going and always ready to help! New gym area is superb (red room) specially lighting boxing area space to warm up. Gym has all the amenities that are important for all ages. Love the classes and spa as well. My partner can train comfortably in the women's area so that's gr8! Pricing is a bit high nowdays!!

Negative experience: Absolutely unreasonable recent price increase! Smelly jacuzzi, old dirty and unsafe facilities.

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love going to Bentleigh Fitness Centre as the facilities are excellent, there is such a great variety of group fitness classes (and lots of them), the instructors are awesome and experienced, the staff are super friendly, always helpful and greet you, there is a good variety of equipment and different areas/rooms to train in (including a large ladies only area), it’s large but not impersonal, good opening hours and it’s always staffed and the members are friendly. I especially love how the reformer pilates and barre classes are included in the membership, which is exceptional value. They are constantly improving the gym and listen to member feedback.

Fantastic experience: Have been a member here for about a month now- very happy here- it's very friendly, excellent variety of classes, the classes are really enjoyable, and the staff have been great. Excellent value for what you pay. A couple of friends have also joined up and are really enjoying it as well. The PT I have worked with at the gym has also been excellent.

Fantastic experience: Bentleigh Fitness Centre is fabulous. I needed to regain my fitness and have done so after joining more than a year ago. The modern facilities and recently renovated extended gym, spa, sauna and swim centre is very accessible, affordable, fun and inclusive all ages and fitness levels. The Teachers and staff are very professional, fully trained and welcoming. My first point of contact was with Chris who gave me a complimentary pass as an introduction to an extensive multitude range of classes and excellent facilities. I started slowly enjoying at my own level pace at swimming aerobics, Pilate's mat and ladies only gym. I joined up and now routinely pre book on easy mindbodyonline app to a large range of reformer Pilate's and barre classes. The other classes I recommend are cardio, tummy hips thigh, fatburner and water aerobics and yoga. Most classes do not require a booking and are available 6am up until after 8pm with the gym and pool opened until 10pm which allows you to plan your day and week ahead. I highly recommend Bentleigh Fitness Centre to all ages for its excellent mixed gym, ladies only gym, pool, yoga, Pilates reformer, barre, spa, sauna facilities. BFC has friendly happy members, staff, teachers and a clean environment to enjoy an endless selection of classes and equipment. Julia B

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member of Bentleigh Fitness Centre for the past five years and can’t imagine ever changing gyms. It continues to improve with new equipment, classes and fitness offerings - the gym only gets better and better. But what I love the most are the people - this is not a pretentious gym full of posers - just real people who want to improve their fitness and staff who want to help them achieve their goals.

Fantastic experience: This gym is worth every one of these 5 stars! The seperate gym areas offer so much space to spread out and do your own thing (uninterrupted) and the huge variety of classes are fun and really social. I love the crossfit classes for a fast way to work up a sweat and the Pilates classes for a different way to work on muscles you never knew existed. But the best thing about this place isn't the equipment it's the great people who work there. It's the type of place you get greeted at the door by name and where trainers will go out of there way to help you with an exercise query. Sign up to this gym if you need to gain motivation to keep going... Cause they will provide it!

Fantastic experience: 5 Stars! The fitness centre is the best in the area. It has numerous areas to work out including a huge cardio section, weights, functional studio, ladies gym and a pool! There are heaps of classes to choose from. I attend the the yoga, barre and pilates classes and they are excellent.

Fantastic experience: Such an awesome facility, it is equipped with everything you need for a great workout. Staff are friendly and always willing to help. Great variety of group classes. Love this gym so much!

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love going to Bentleigh Fitness Centre as the facilities are excellent, there is such a great variety of group fitness classes (and lots of them), the instructors are awesome and experienced, the staff are super friendly, always helpful and greet you, there is a good variety of equipment and different areas/rooms to train in (including a large ladies only area), it’s large but not impersonal, good opening hours and it’s always staffed and the members are friendly. I especially love how the reformer pilates and barre classes are included in the membership, which is exceptional value. They are constantly improving the gym and listen to member feedback.

Fantastic experience: I LOVE Bentleigh Fitness Centre. There is a fantastic array of classes too choose from and lots of different times that fit well with work, school drop off, evenings etc. All the staff and instructors are really friendly and know their stuff and as a result there's a strong community feel. Members range across all ages and abilities and no one cares what you can and can't do or what you wear - everyone just has a go and gets a great workout. And last but not least the value is insane! The price is incredibly reasonable and they continue to add classes, make the facilities better and always listen to members ideas and feedback. Can't recommend it highly enough!

Fantastic experience: Have been going to Bentleigh Fitness Centre for almost 2 years and love the experience so far. The instructors are extremely knowledgeable, highly motivated, and awesome people to be around. I've never been in a gym with a better vibe. Top of the range equipment used and all at a great price. They keep doing renovations to make the gym better and better! I enjoy this gym, and I am happy to be a member. I hope the reader of this review gives it a try and likes it as much as I do.

Fantastic experience: Great gym! Lots of classes and couldn’t ask for more on the gym floor! Staff is amazing and always helpful! Constantly making upgrades and keeping up with the industry. Wouldn’t go anywhere else!

Fantastic experience: Great gym. Staff are helpful and responsive.. and the equipment, whilst not super modern, is plentiful. The blue Room is great for anyone wanting to squat or deadlift and the restroom, when not occupied by a class is also fantastic !

Fantastic experience: Best gym ever! I have been the member of Bentleigh Fitness Centre for more than 4years now. I have to say this is the gym is the best gym i have ever been with. They always look for the areas to improve such as some big projects the new workout areas, new classes and some small things such as providing deodorant for the members. This gym does care their members. The membership fee is very affordable and staff are very friendly... I have been a strong advocate for this gym because i know people won't be disappointed! I also take a chance to say thank you to the team member at Bentleigh fitness centre, you guys have been awesome!

Fantastic experience: After letting myself go for many years, I decided at the age of 70 to get back into shape. I have been attending your gym for three months now and the results have been amazing. I did lots of research on the Internet and worked out my own program which I stick to religiously, and as mentioned previously, is certainly showing results. The gym is very well equipped, comfortable, and the staff are very friendly. I always come away from a workout feeling pumped and happy. The only criticism I can make, and the gym can in no way be held responsible, is the difficulty finding parking. Anyways, I shall keep attending the gym every second day until I look like Arnold Schwarzenegger!!!!

Fantastic experience: This is an awesome gym. They are constantly updating the facilities and provide such great value for money with all the services included in a membership. Classes are my favorite particularly the crosstraining and kickboxing. I have never had anything but great interactions with the staff. They are friendly and make it an enjoyable place to come and workout. I'll be coming for years to come. Well done Bentleigh Fitness Centre Team.

Fantastic experience: If you looking for a laid back friendly gym with a great range of classes with great amenities including boxing studio, steam room, sauna and swimming pool look no further. Just try not to cut into to much workout time talking to the staff at the front desk, who are always super friendly and good for a bit of banter.

Fantastic experience: Would recommend BFC to anyone (those just starting gym, or even for long-time gymers), the staff are so kind, super helpful, and always there to help!! The equipment is modern, and there is heaps of equipment. The new refurbishment has made BFC even more appealing than it was before. Such a welcoming and friendly environment!! The weekly fee is definitely worthwhile as it includes classes too!

Fantastic experience: Very friendly and helpful staff! Ridiculously clean and well maintained equipments. There are so many options to choose from, pools, spa, reformer Pilates classes. Great facilities for low prices! Good on you Bentleigh fitnesss, keep on like that!!

Fantastic experience: After years of not a great deal of exercise it is has been amazing to get back into feeling fit again both physically and mentally. The staff have been fantastic and the teachers in the classes that I have been involved in are committed and know their stuff. This is a gym that’s not lost it’s charm as some of the bigger gyms have that I tried out. Keep up the good work guys.
