South Pacific Health Club St Kilda

Fantastic experience: Recently joined South Pacific gym and its one of the best gym's i have ever been a member of. It has undergone renovations leaving the gym very modern, stylish and tidy. The staff and PT's are very friendly and always happy to help and give advice. You get a free PT lesson every 8 weeks as part of your membership to keep up with the progress of your fitness. The classes also come with your membership. They have just bought out hot yoga and reformer pilates. There is more than enough equipment so you are never hanging around waiting. The location of the gym is awesome, its located right on the beach of St Kilda looking over onto the sea. What else could you ask for to keep you motivated while working out. The membership is reasonably priced and well worth the money.

Fantastic experience: Good club and location and i like the recipiention named Faaz so friendly and would love to recommend to friends. But only things the people who go for swimming not everyone shower before swim and stium sauna room always busy and bad smell and many old member with medical bandage in pool also. I saw the used band Aid in jakuzz pool. Its so bad. Please dont let those people who sick in when they have legs arms or skin problems

Fantastic experience: Amanda Lenny is an absolute superstar! Not only is Amanda passionate about health and fitness, she is an instructor and personal trainer that cares about you successfully achieving your fitness goals. Both her approachable and professional manner make you feel comfortable and keeps you motivated during every class and training session. Thanks Amanda for encouraging me to hit the gym floor and giving me the confidence boost to start strength training.

Fantastic experience: The facilities here are excellent. Plenty of treadmills, bikes and cross fit machines overlooking the bay. All well maintained and cleaned often. There is something for everyone with 3 high altitude rooms, good choice of classes, lots of free weights and pully machines so I never need to wait. Staff are very professional and friendly. Highly recommend South Pacific St.Kilda.

Fantastic experience: Steve is a really knowledgeable boxing trainer that goes above and beyond to ensure your techniques are on point. He is super motivating and encouraging!! Always a fun positive encouraging and motivating time with Kurt in class too! Really love their sessions!

Fantastic experience: Have recently joined. The gym is great, big, plenty of weights/machines and areas and never too busy/crowded. Amanda's Wednesday morning spin classes are probably the best spin classes I've ever done. Awesome level of guidance and instruction, push and challenge.

Fantastic experience: Love this gym... location, variety of classes, facilities and instructors. Amanda's spin classes are absolutely awesome, like a dance party on bikes before work. Fun and a great workout. Also love Deb's yoga classes and Katina's pump classes. They're all so good - best move I made starting at this gym. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I have been training at South Pacific St Kilda for a long time now, and love it! The gym has great classes, heaps of space, and cardio machines that look out to the sea and a vibe that is friendly and focused. There are a bunch of great trainers, especially Amanda Lenny, who has been a real pandemic bonus for me. She has got me to the gym, enjoying challenging work outs and provides fantastic pep talks in the gym class and in our PT - that everyone loves! Fitness has never felt so good!

Fantastic experience: Most classes at the gym are excellent - especially the Body Pump classes taught by Marisa Viola. Her classes are amazing, she is switched on and conducts her classes with utmost love and dedication.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely loved my time at South Pacific St Kilda - especially the body pump classes with Marisa, she was excellent!!! Super friendly, very encouraging, payed attention to injury prevention and educated everyone on how to complete exercises correctly. All round amazing. Big love.

Fantastic experience: I go three times a week. Truly a melbourne gem. The hot salt swimming pool and baths keep me healthy thru winter and all year round.

Fantastic experience: Nice place because it is on the shore of St Kilda beach and near to the City as well. It is also a nice place for relaxing after working whole week.

Fantastic experience: Been going here for years. Definitely the best gym I have been too. Good people, equipment, facilities and views whilst not being too busy.

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym with a great lifestyle The workout classes are fun and led by friendly and extremely qualifiedtrainers, the fellow members are inspiring to achieve my fitness goals. Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: After covid lockdowns & some serious iso weight gain I got in touch with Amanda at SPHC to help get me back into shape & she has been absolutely amazing! Amanda’s workouts are challenging, fresh & fun, and I’m already seeing results after just 2 weeks woohoo! With a lower back injury I was nervous about exercising but thanks to Amanda’s expertise & encouragement I’m now excited about working out! If you’re looking for some health & fitness motivation I’d highly recommend getting in touch with the fabulous & friendly Amanda!

Fantastic experience: Very good place. A lot of machines, spaces to train, classes... With an amazing view on the beach and the sea. The staff is also friendly. I love the fact you can access to the swimming pool and the sauna without any additional fees! I recommend it.

Fantastic experience: I love this gym. They have a great variety of classes and several different workout zones. I love that there are different options to suit my different moods and the team are so helpful. The location is fantastic too and I love looking out at the water while I run.

Fantastic experience: Awesome to be able to train with a view of the beach. Got a lot of free weights and staff willing to help. Thanks again for organizing equipment hire and online training sessions

Fantastic experience: Awesome facility and friendly staff. Had an awesome workout here with the large variety of workout equipment. Unfortunately the pool and steam room were shut for renovations but it looked super nice from the window. Very nice

Fantastic experience: Excellent Gym and location. Great variety of equipment and group classes. Very much enjoy the Yoga classes, run by wonderful and skilled instructors Very excited to see the introduction of beachfront yoga class. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: This gym is HUGE. As part of the membership, your able to use the pools, the various classes and the machines / weights. The layout is very impressive allowing each member to have their own space creating a great environment to work out. There are many options for classes, including spin, hiit, body pump and many more. The staff are very helpful and definitely know their stuff. Great value for money!!

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of South Pacific for seven years and can’t recommend it highly enough. Just last Saturday I did yoga on the beach with the fantastic Janita Doelken. Such an intuitive amazing instructor who took us through some gruelling and great sequences with an incredible bay front view. Thank you Janita, Paul the club manager and South Pacific for coming up with new and innovative classes and work outs to improve and challenge our fitness further. I’ve trialled other gyms over the years but nothing compares to South Pacific with its talented, helpful and passionate staff, array of equipment, stunning views and impressive, spacious gym. That’s why I have remained a member and continue to endorse and appreciate what South Pacific offers. When you know yr onto a good thing you stick with it❤️ Thank you and keep up the wonderful work!

Fantastic experience: I’m no Gym Junkie, but I cannot praise PT Amanda Lenny more highly. I have been working out with her for 9 months now and really enjoy the exercise, challenge and friendship. She is extremely knowledgeable and able to modify the work out to meet a desired outcome and how the body is feeling. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Seriously couldn't praise this gym more highly. Incredible class offerings, great facilities and really intuitive and lovely staff. Elka (pilates), Marisa (body pump) and Bronwyn (yoga) in particular have helped shift my mindset towards exercise and group fitness. The various spaces suit everyone and despite being so busy, I've never felt overcrowded or like I was on top of anyone else. Nothing beats being able to jump from the sauna and spa into the ocean!

Fantastic experience: I am lucky enough to be near Sea Bath @ SPHC to enjoy a world class fitness and health center. Using Sea Bath for over a decade in different phases of my life; I can truly say from experience that the exceptional up to date facilities cater for all fitness and health requirements with inspirational sea side setting. The Salt water hydrotherapy in the Swimming pool area is a bliss for recovery. Recently during the difficult 2020 lockdown period; I have discovered that there is an exceptional and empathetic manager called Paul Kinghorn at the helm who is excellent at his job.

Fantastic experience: The gym offers fantastic yoga and group classes (including yoga on the beach!) with great instructors (Jani is awesome). Paul the gym manager is fantastic to deal with.

Fantastic experience: So I made this wise decision to try this HIIT class for first time in 2021. I saw the trainers name Nik Yerkovich and expected some crazy Russian and kinda knew what I was in for. Well I just finished (survived) the class now and he wasn't a crazy Russian... he was a crazy half Maori half Yugoslavian dude so not far off but double the crazy. I've been training at this gym on and off for about 7yrs and at least tried all their group fitness classes. If you have the Kahunas and really wanna test yourself look out for the name Nik Yerkovich on their group fitness timetable. He's one tough sun of a gun and will put you through your paces. I want to lose weight so I can start training in MMA but realise I ain't doing that till I can keep a respectable pace in Niks classes.

Fantastic experience: Great place! Really great atmosphere. Highly recommend the classes - the trainers are really friendly and approachable. Easy to make friends in the classes with other members. Marissa is great if you want to do Les Mills body pump, explains things really well. Michael and Gab always have a good playlist and keep things fun too. Paul takes a great Hiit class if you want to push yourself a lot. If you looking for a post covid gym to get fit again I recommend :)

Fantastic experience: I LOVE the gym!! Specially Marisa's pump class! Its amazing and she's is so attentive! I wish there were more of her classes! The hot yoga (all of the yogas actually) are also real good and the infra structure is great! One note: I tried to get in by the pool door one day as I was told I could and one of the staff was really rude to me instead of just explaining she treated me badly in front of other people (but I think she was just having a bad day, because most of the staff is really nice). Can't recommend enough Marisa's class!! Just do it!!

Fantastic experience: Loving being back at the gym. I go to both St Kilda and Pt Melbourne and both are a great atmosphere with amazing facilities that have been updated during covid lockdown. As a post covid reset I started PT sessions with Amanda about a month ago and am seeing the benefits very quickly. Definitely get a higher intensity and more effective workout than if I was doing it on my own - and there's just the right amount of pushing/support (without feeling like I am doing a SAS course) to do that last 2 or 3 reps when it gets hard and I want to stop which I know I would just say 'near enough' if she wasn't there encouraging me. But the best thing is the extra mile Amanda goes to with suggested workout plans on non-PT days, suggestions for other health/fitness related options (eg massage and recovery) as well as getting me motivated to get back into group classes......

Fantastic experience: I've been training in this gym for 10 years. It's a good value for money and they made an effort to renovate the bathrooms of the gym. Before the renovations I would give them a 4. They need to improve the cleaning of the pool, steam foom and the spa.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been to many gyms, had many PT’s and been all over Melbourne. I was skeptical at first with going back to the gym and finding it so difficult to be in crowded areas with my mental health issues. Then one day Amanda Lenny changed everything. She listened and cared about what I was looking for and for someone who hates gym, here I am, a couple of months later I am a member in this amazing gym with such awesome staff and trainers. The gym is spacious and has the best view, and of course the pool! Could not recommend more! Also shout out to Paul for helping with my sign up. You run an awesome place!

Fantastic experience: Marisa Viola who teaches Bodypump classes on a Monday and Tuesday, is an absolute diamond. She goes above and beyond in her highly motivational attitude, genuine care over her students and upbeat personality. The gym is very lucky to have her. You can’t not enjoy her classes while you’re also getting whipped into shape. I only hope I look like her when I’m older!

Fantastic experience: I’m giving 5 stars and the best of the best rating to my all time favorite Body Pump instructor, Marisa Viola. She is the ultimate professional, in every possible way. The way she presents each class is very impressive and motivating. She is a hard worker, highly skilled, very experienced, amazingly fit, very particular and knowledgable about the correct technique and safety, her classes are of a highest quality, it is a blessing having such an amazing pump instructor. She is one in a million instructor, i highly recommend Pump classes by Marisa Viola.

Fantastic experience: I have been attending this gym for over ten years including two pregnancies and the quality of instruction and care I’ve received has been fantastic. There have been many good instructors throughout my time but a special call out to Amanda Berger (Lenny) who challenges me like never before, plays the best music and is devoted to achieving the very best she can from everybody that she trains. Be it spin or personal training, she’s a powerhouse.

Fantastic experience: I’m specifically making a 5 star review for the group training body pump with Marissa on a Monday and Tuesday evening. Hands down the best group fitness trainer I’ve ever had. amazing energy, very professional, directions and care to details really make you feel like you’re getting the best work out while having a lot of fun in the process. She’s the top of her game and I’m sure that’s why her class is always packed! Get in early and enjoy a full body work out you won’t be disappointed

Fantastic experience: Unbelievable Gym; I have been in gyms all over the world and this gym is one of the BEST!! Not only are the facilities top notch, but there is an EXCELLENT choice of classes for what ever your fitness needs- if you are a high level competing athlete or you just want a social fitness class this gym has it!! South Pacific st kilda also has a nice warm atmosphere With a great community feel; with people of all ages and all fitness levels attending. This gym has given me a great sense of belonging in a new city. Sometimes gyms can feel unwelcoming but South Pacific health club is sure to make you feel comfortable. It has a nice warm atmosphere full of friendly, professional and helpful staff. It also has Fantastic management up top that really cares about all the members needs and wants. I can not recommend this gym enough !!! JOIN!!!! :)

Fantastic experience: I re-joined South Pacific St Kilda in September and have been absolutely loving it ever since! Doing the 8 week challenge with 3 amazing trainers - Amanda, Marcos and Pete and I feel stronger and more motivated than ever. They are all dedicated, passionate trainers and make going to the gym fun. I've made new gym friends and feel great!

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love this gym. I've been a member here forever and have met so many inspiring people at South Pacific St Kilda. It all started with Marcus and Amanda and their ever so motivating spin classes. From there I became a regular pump member with Gemma and now thriving with the new Altitude classes - love Boxing with Marcos. Finally there is something about training at a gym located on a beach - its good for the soul.

Fantastic experience: I have had the pleasure of dealing with Sarah Curtis a few times and she has always been super helpful, friendly and efficient. Even though she works more behind the scenes I see here around the gym sometimes and she always takes a few seconds to ask how I'm going with everything. Most gyms are happy to take your money and don't care if you use the facilities or not but these guys actually want you to come & enjoy seeing you there! Really nice feels. Sarah is a credit to the St Kilda team.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member of this gym for almost 10 years & have been doing Spin classes since I joined. The quality of instructors has been hugely varied over that time, depending on the efficacy of the Group Exercise Coordinator. There are currently several excellent Spin instructors. Kylie, who does Monday 5.30pm & 6.30pm (both as good as the other), hands-down plays the best music, is consistently challenging, & is a genuinely lovely person. Matt, who takes 5.30pm Tuesday, is a veteran instructor who knows how to get every last drop of sweat out of his class participants, whilst still being chilled & easy-going about how to get to that point. The best early morning instructors have to be Gemma, who takes 6.15am on Monday & whose personal strength & fitness is inspirational, and Leah who teaches Friday at 6.15am & is the one of the most dedicated & committed instructors I’ve ever met.

Fantastic experience: South Pacific health club in St Kilda is great. I am in the middle of the 8 week challenge and I can not recommend it enough. Amanda, Marcos and Pete are amazing trainers and they compliment each other! Now I have gym buddies and enjoy going to the gym even more :)

Fantastic experience: ***** 10 GOLD STARS ******* I have been training at South Pacific for over 10 years and Tuesday night pump class with Marissa is blocked out every week in my diary. Marissa is super professional, enthusiastic and kind every single week. Her knowledge of the fitness industry is outstanding and she is always there to assist with any support we may need for technique after class. Thank you so much for your fun, inspiring classes !!!

Fantastic experience: Pump class instructor, Marissa is the best! She is an incredible instructor! Her routines are always filled with energy, fun, and great music! She always takes time to explain all of the exercises thoroughly and she always has time for you after the class. I went to her with a injury query after a pump class and she spent so much time with me explaining why I was feeling pain and how to do prevent it, and what stretches to do! Marissa has a very caring, welcoming energy and I have no doubt that you will leave her pump class feeling strong, energized and really good about yourself!

Fantastic experience: I'd done PT and Spin with Amanda Lenny and she is one of the best trainers going around. She is an incredible motivator and knows how to make you work really hard, while keeping it fun! Amanda's classes at St Kilda SP are always full and she changes them up regularly so no one ever gets bored. Highly recommend :)

Fantastic experience: I think people being negative in these reviews are a classic example of the squeakiest wheels getting the most attention. This club is beautiful. You've obviously not been to an actually dirty or shady gym. The staff are all lovely and so welcoming, whether on reception or just wandering through the gym. Massive shout outs to the PT crew who are helpful and encouraging and inclusive. From Gary who runs the crew, to my trainer and all round awesome guy Ali Ahmeda. If you're looking for a PT who is extremely knowledgeable, always professional, your fitness partner, coach and extremely funny as well, look no further than Ali. Legend.

Fantastic experience: I live in Elwood and this gym has been so wonderful for me. You really can’t beat the location and I always leave the club feeling amazing with all of the beach energy around. The pool/hydrotherapy, sauna, and included yoga classes were worth the cost for me. The staff and instructors have always been so friendly and helpful. My only instance of frustration was when I went in person to end my 3 month membership a month prior, as I was instructed, they said that I actually couldn’t give my month notice until after the 3 months was up. So in actuallyity the 3 month membership is actually required to be 4 months minimum. This wasn’t terrible, but I was only living in Melbourne for 3 months so the clarity of the membership terms is something they could improve upon.

Fantastic experience: The Altitude program at SPHC St Kilda is phenomenal! If you are thinking about trying it, don’t hesitate and go for it! The new training facilities are absolutely superb and the team of instructors lead by Amanda and Brett are ‘first class’ in so many ways- not only do they push you to the limits, help with technique and keep you engaged, the team sincerely cares about your actual results and continually help motivate you in order to achieve them- where else does that happen? For me, the fast results and health benefits that can be achieved due to the simulated Altitude effect are just an added bonus, it’s the staff and how well they run their respective classes that’s the real gold. In all my years of different gym memberships and classes, I can honestly say I have finally found the perfect home!

Fantastic experience: This gym is the best I have attended, beautiful vistas from gym area to workout rooms, high quality and diverse equipment, a wide variety of classes for participation and well trained and personable instructors. Reception and Administrative staff are welcoming, well informed and go the extra mile to help members. Personal training is tailored to meet identified needs and both my trainer and others whom I have met, are highly professional, respectful and possess excellent interpersonal skills. I would recommend staff, programs and facilities to any people no matter what your age, if you are considering joining this gym, and wanting to have a healthier lifestyle and fun

Fantastic experience: My favourite place to go and I am sure other members feel the same. The gym has enough space, people are nice, very good equipment. Very good pool, nice warm water but just the right temperature for swimming laps. I love the steam room and enjoy the hot pool with water massage every morning. And the possibility to open the door and go to fresh air or cool down in the sea after coming from the steam room is fantastic and definitely not so common in other places. Plus, the views both from the pool and the gym are fantastic - overlooking the promenade and beach. Watching the sea water just helps you to go on with your workouts. It is fair to say that the change rooms upstairs are better equipped than those at the pool, though. And if there are many people, the bottom ones are not really clean sometimes. But if you sign up for membership, you get to use the upper ones which are very nice. Despite there are always ideas for improvements (like everywhere), 5 stars from me and a sincere recommendation to everyone.
