QUT Gardens Point Fitness & Aquatic by YMCA: Opinions
Positive experience: Good gym but unfortunately the shower is pretty bad and ‘spits’ at you. Otherwise happy but would be good if someone looked at fixing shower situation
Positive experience: The Kelvin Grove gym has better showers and shower gel dispensers. This gym has those painful dagger spray showers and have removed their shower gel dispensers... Great gym if you don't mind stinking sweating on way home, I use Kelvin Grove instead lol.
Fantastic experience: My favourite place to swim. Membership is affordable. Staff are friendly and helpful.
Positive experience: Close when you finally have time for gym. Very good job
Fantastic experience: 자물쇠는 개인 지참입니다. 탈의실 겸 화장실에 로커 있습니다. 실내 수영장이라 겨울에도 수영하기 좋습니다
Positive experience: Entrance is hard to find the first time haha walk up the stairs then turn around and you’ll see the doors facing the other way, half way up the stairs. This is a great pool! I come when travelling here for work. I just wish the showers were better.
Positive experience: Good 50m pool. Didn't use the gym.
Fantastic experience: Best gym with long distance swimming pool.

Fantastic experience: very friendly and helpful staff
Thank you, Noah, that is so wonderful to hear :)
Fantastic experience: Very nice place for swimming
Thank Haicheng, glad you enjoyed it!
Fantastic experience: Good gym :)
Positive experience: Loads of room for more equipment so I guess they could expand. Price seems high
Fantastic experience: Nice place and all Bug no carpark so ready to pay $20 per hour even if you are a member there. $20 per hour really? :(
Positive experience: Excellent. Very few Meat Heads here. Every convenience and the Staff are very helpful. The Pool is pristine. Great.
Fantastic experience: Nice full sized pool in the middle of the city!
Thank you for the five stars, Pitchana :)
Positive experience: Closed from 10 am Saturday to Monday is crazy. Please open on weekends. It might need some thinking re more parking and some effective marketing
Negative experience: Since owner changed, no shower gel for 3 weeks. Ignore customer's request.
Positive experience: Nice place, open to the public for a casual swim within the city of Brisbane. Took a 10 to 15 mind from my hotel at Ibis along Elizabeth Street. After which, you can take a walk through the Botanic Garden next door back to the city centre.
Glad you enjoyed our facilities, Samuel :)
Fantastic experience: Great indoor pool available to all who want to get their swim on. Friendly staff. Aqua fit classes 3 days a week. Learn to swim classes just started on Saturday mornings.
Positive experience: It is a great gym. I wish it opens in Saturday afternoons and Sunday too. :( That is the only thing I can complain. The opening hours were even shorter during Christmas/New year holidays period.
Negative experience: I felt ill advised on my trial. No advice on parking, and part of my own fault, my trial cost me $30! Staff and facilities nice but please advice correctly directions and parking
Fantastic experience: Fantastic big gym. They have classes on frequently. Now in hands of QUT itself so will be interesting to see what they do with the place. Space means it’s not as intimidating as some gyms can be. You can hire a towel if you don’t have one. They have struggled to quickly scan me in recently but I think just transfer of ownership problems! 5/5 would recommend
Positive experience: Went to the gym on an evening, staff was great with a good walk around tour of the facilities. Good about of equipment to use and heaps of lockers, no make sure to bring your own lock Pool was clean with heaps of lanes. Only things that hold it bad, parking prices are $15 an hour for non students and no stean/sauna.
Fantastic experience: I would like to say a massive thank you to the Aquatic YMCA Manager Shiggy and his staff working at the 50m indoor swimming - pool at QUT Gardens. Since 2021 they have been looking after me in a very kind, professional and helpful way to use the pool. Thank you for assisting me in being able to use my equipment regularly. I would recommend this swimming - pool highly to other users in regard to staff and facilities.
Fantastic experience: Great place for a casual swimming workout
Thank you so much, Julia :)
Fantastic experience: Hi I’m wondering any locker in swimming pool?
Negative experience: Closed for convenience.. Had to look up their Facebook page to find out details of why its closed - they will take your details saying its the reason why they need them but don't send out notifications. YMCA showing how they care about students/members during difficult times exercise can help with stress - clear they are just using the weather as an excuse during these off-peak times.
Hi M S, we look forward to re-opening our gym as soon as possible following the floods - we understand closures are frustrating for members. In line with QUT campus closures, our centre needs to remain shut until Sunday as a campus safety precaution during this extreme weather event.In the meantime, our members and visit pass holders are welcome to use any other YMCA fitness facility in South East Queensland during staffed hours. More info can be found in our email update here: https://mailchi.mp/ymca/flood-update-gp-01-03. Please take care and stay safe, and we hope to see you in the gym next week.
Fantastic experience: Large, clean gym and 9 lane pool. The guys at reception are friendly and helpful. And qut shop and coffee afterwards and a stroll through the botanical is a bonus :)
Thank you for the five star review! It is fantastic to know that you enjoy the facilities and, even better, to read your kind words about our amazing staff!
Fantastic experience: Ample space Lot of equipment Ideal for squats & deadlifts I’ve been working out over there for almost a year. Love the vibe Great place!!!
Wow! Thanks for the five star review, Ashan!
Fantastic experience: Great gym and pool close to Brisbane cbd. Staff are always friendly and helpful. Pro tip, if you want to swim laps call ahead and find out if there is any squad training on at the same time
Thanks for the five stars, Tim! And great tip :)
Positive experience: It's a great pool. Pity it's not open for most of Sat and all day Sunday.
Positive experience: it was decent, there are also a few places where you can get food
Fantastic experience: Amazing friendly staff, clean and modern facilities. Pool water is very refreshing and perfect temperature to do laps, generally busy in the morning and evening when squads are on but good to go during the day.
Thank you so much, Aaron! :)
Fantastic experience: Large, clean gym and 9 lane pool. The guys at reception are friendly and helpful. And qut shop and coffee afterwards and a stroll through the botanical is a bonus :)
Fantastic experience: Good Pool + Great Gym. Staff are a bunch of legends, especially Anne and Emma. Huge thanks from Botanic Bar for taking care of us. Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: Amazing. Will be great when there is a body wieght bar star area provided.
Negative experience: Consistently rude and clueless reception staff. Not sure what their purpose / role is as unable to answer basic queries about gym or group classes. Might as well be unstaffed! Only using as part of Fitness Passport and closest gym to my work.
Hi Jade, we're sorry to hear that you have had an unfavourable experience with us. We're always looking for feedback on ways we can improve our service. Please contact us at [email protected] with any further feedback you have.
Negative experience: I had to leave because I wanted to move to a closer gym but leaving YMCA is so hard, its been three months since I left and they're still charging me all because of the COVID halt which I didn't even go to gym to, if you are leaving around this time do know that they will still charge you after wards because of the account holdings during COVID
Negative experience: Requires you to have a towel even if you don't use any equipment that would require a towel (ie barbell only workout). Staff come by in the middle of your workout to ask you if you have one and will kick you out. You can rent one for $3 though. Thanks for the $3 scam. Edit: Also the 30-day notice (+2 payments) is blatant scammer bs as well. There are way better way more honest gyms around. Avoid this place until their policies improve.
Hi Jared, we're sorry to see you weren't happy and felt it was a poor experience. It is our gym policy that a towel is always required in the gym. Our team always makes sure that all policies are communicated to our members. We're always looking for feedback on ways we can improve our services. Please contact us at [email protected] with any further feedback you have.
Fantastic experience: Really good gym for anyone In the city or close by, lots of room, new equipment, boxing zone, cardio, free weights, caged and lifting platforms. The trainers and staff are really friendly and helpful Great prices too, highly recommend you check it out!
Fantastic experience: Awesome Facility! can't believe this gem is hidden away in the middle of the city. Staff are really helpful and welcoming. Was pleasantly surprised to see it open to the public including the 50m Pool! Cleanest gym I have seen, refreshing to see a gym that actually looks after their stuff.
Fantastic experience: Modern Equipment. Alot of Space. No crowd.
Fantastic experience: Ye, nice temp. Friendly staff. No shampoo or soap in shower so byo.
Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality
Fantastic experience: Great. The pool is awesome and the gym it pretty cool. Pitty about the expensive parking.
Fantastic experience: Some of the comments here are odd, not sure if they are from irregulars or people looking to get free gym access lol, but this gym is very client focused and well-maintained by trainers who have had many years of experience in training. Academics and city professionals frequent this gym because of their well delivered classes, knowledge in training, state of the art facilities and popular trainers who are very approachable and engaged if you are. One of the great aspects of this gym, is that they are receptive to feedback - especially if you are wanting to have different types of classes (e.g. boxing, body pump etc.,). It isn't a student gym... some students do come and go, but from my experience, working professionals populate this gym :)
Fantastic experience: Great facilities, helpful staff
Negative experience: Decent equipment. Rude staff.
Hi Smith, we're sorry to hear that you have had an unfavourable experience with us. We're always looking for feedback on ways we can improve our service. Please contact us at [email protected] with any further feedback you have.
Negative experience: The lack of proper hygienic practices have been problem at this gym lately.
Hi Tim, we're sorry that you have a negative experience. Hygiene is the top priority at our gym. If you have time, can you please send us an email to [email protected] so that we can escalate further.
Negative experience: Required towel after workout was not allowed to use clean T-shirt as alternative
Hi Christopher, we're sorry to see you weren't happy and felt it was a poor experience. It is our gym policy that a towel is always required in the gym.

Fantastic experience: 24/7 please
Fantastic experience: It has always been good but now it’s become even better (new management I believe). The water was warmer than before and there was a hair dryer in the changing room.
Fantastic experience: Excellent and well maintained facilities, friendly and helpful admin staff, great gym environment and trainers. Could recommend highly enough
Positive experience: Good place for a workout...just check the opening and closing time not 24/7
Fantastic experience: Very well equipped gym and 50 m pool. Both usually very quiet
Positive experience: Not a bad gym I guess. Spacious and reasonably well kitted out. It has an all weather olympic pool, which is good. Some gym areas are over subscribed with equipment others are lacking. Not really at the same level as a good commercial gym, but most of the essentials are still there. Biggest draw back is the gym timings. It is geared toward the student and not a working professional. There is very poor weekend access and there is NO after hours swipe access.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic set up for both the gym and pool, and discounts available for students
