Thank you Josh, we are glad to have you and your brother as a part of our family!
Fantastic experience: Great gym. I have been coming here for over 6 years. I don't do PT but mainly train on my own but watching the PT's always make me push myself harder. Great group of people. Always friendly and supportive. I would recommend Tabban to anyone.
Thank you Simon, we really appreciate feedbacks from our regular clients!
Fantastic experience: Tabban gym is a priceless gem. It has preserved, modernised, and made more user-friendly, the long-forgotten secrets to health, strength and beauty discovered by the bodybuilders before Schwarzenegger. Before gimmicks, fancy equipment, impossible and dangerous shortcuts — when the only way was steady and careful hard work, a clean diet and willpower. As a one-of-a-kind family-run gym Tabban makes it all fun and enjoyable. I trained for 20 years in modern chain gyms with one-to-one personal trainers. With less effort I made a bigger difference to my health and shape, mental attitude and joie-de-vivre in 2 years with Tabban — training in small friendly groups led by an holistic coach. My friends are amazed in the difference in me - physically and mentally. I have not been ill or had a cold since I started with Tabban over 6 years’ ago. My intellect is sharper and I am told I look great for my age. You will not be disappointed by Tabban.
Andrew, we can’t thank you enough for your kind words. We love having you part of our community along with the other great clients we have!
Fantastic experience: If you want a gym that looks after you and provides excellent trainer to athlete advice to achieve your goal without judgement then this gym is right for you. Their trained and friendly staff will assist you all the way. The people who go there are motivated and friendly and will make you feel right at home. Five star rating from me after trying many other gyms that just leave you to your own devices without much help. Trial them, you won’t be disappointed!
Thank you Marcia for the beautiful review!
Fantastic experience: After having experienced various personal trainers and training techniques Tabban is definitely in a league of it own. From your first session you know that you are in the best hands. The trainers are all warm natured yet committed to you succeeding and reaching your full potential. It really is the best place to train in Richmond.
Thank you Liz, we are blessed to have you and Nick in our family!
Fantastic experience: Tabban gym is more than just a gym the family atmosphere, the equipment and staff are awesome. After I competed last year Michael and Doreen were happy to sit down with me and talk about areas where I can improve. The frames and trophy all around the gym inspires me to keep pushing. I wish can be at the gym more but my work commitments don’t allow it. There is something for everyone from just wanting to get into shape to competing. Plus you get to see great body builder George Tabban around the gym. If you’re looking for more than a gym in the heart of Melbourne I highly recommend Tabban muscle and body.
Thank you, our clients are our best motivation!
Fantastic experience: My experience with Tabban has been absolutely transformative! I arrived not knowing a thing about training and feeling a little intimidated. From the start every single person in the gym was kind, helpful, encouraging and entirely supportive. It felt like I was important from the very first day and all the trainers were invested in my journey. Every morning I leave the gym feeling energized and full of joy because of the people that work there and how close they all are. Not only that, they are brilliant at what they do and I’ve seen amazing results in a very short period of time. The PT sessions are structured in a very smart way and it is such great value for money!
Thank you Leah, we this motivates us to do our best everyday!

Fantastic experience: Best gym ever. The team are pros and work hard to guide and support their clients transform their bodies. There are small groups for personalised training programs to suit your experience and goals. Good community environment.
Thank you Ken, we love to hear your opinion!
Fantastic experience: From the moment you walk into Tabban Muscle and Body Shape, you’re welcomed as though you’re family. The team actually take the time to get to know you as a person, find out what has held you back from your goals in the past and give you the tools to change your lifestyle for long lasting results. This isn’t a quick fix or fitness fad, they’re invested in ensuring you reach your dream - whether it be to lose weight, build muscle, compete on stage - they’ll be by your side every step of the way. The passion and dedication they have for their craft is like nothing I’ve seen before, and the amount of knowledge inside those walls with thousands of bodies and lives being transformed really speaks for itself. I cannot thank Tabban enough for taking me under their wing, for having me as part of their incredibly talented team, for teaching me the tricks of the Personal Training trade, for giving me not only the body but the confidence to step out in stage and for changing my life. If you’re ready for change and for your best life to begin, do yourself a favour and walk up those stairs! You have nothing to lose and everything to gain!
Thank you Mia, this is the kind of review that make us proud of what we do!

Fantastic experience: Since I am the daughter of this business I have seen the company grow. Every time I walk into the gym I always see smiling faces, people laughing and everyone being pushed to their limits. I have heard so may people say that Tabban is like their second family. I have seen people's transformation and they always look their best. All the trainers are very knowledgeable about peoples body types and what they need to reach their goal.
❤❤❤
Fantastic experience: The motivation for me to join Tabban Muscle and Body Shape was the very real need to stop sabotaging my health and happiness by eating poorly and not exercising.... I was on the wrong kind of treadmill and couldn't find the stop button! I found Tabban after a casual mention from a friend. I knew to expect an institution that caters to competitive body builders and those looking to improve their lifestyle (like myself) and everyone in between... what I didn't expect to find was a "family" of people who didn't judge but welcomed me into the fold and helped me navigate my way back to health and happiness. Conveniently located near Richmond Train Station makes it an easy destination for those travelling into and out of the city for work and the lovely Yarra Park and Botanical Gardens/Tan is a short power walk away for fresh air fitness to complement your workout.
Thank you Caroline, the progress you’ve made so far are incredible and we can’t wait to see the end result!
Fantastic experience: From the first visit almost 18 months ago, and still today, the genuine and relaxed whilst motivated environment is professional and encouraging. In my experience the entire Team at Tabban are equal to be the Rolls-Royce of Gym experiences.
Thank you Chris, we are really happy to hear this!
Fantastic experience: Wow! Where do I start. What an amazing experience to be a part of such an amazing gym and group of trainers. 3 weeks in and I have achieved more than I could have training 4 months on my own. What an absolute honor to be a part of this family like mornings at this gym. Smash your goals
Thank you Regina we really loved reading your review!
Fantastic experience: Initially all the photos of the amazing bodies were a bit intimidating. But the team at Tabban couldn’t have been more welcoming and friendly. I am surprised I am enjoying the training so much (I’m Not really a gym person). Loving the positive body results and feeling stronger. Thanks team!
Thank you Amy, we can’t wait to see your transformation!
Fantastic experience: Absolutely the best gym I've trained in for very very long time. Highly recommend it with the amazing service from staff and trainers you will feel very comfortable as soon as you step through the door. Be ready for an absolute life changing experience.
Thank you Leonard we really appreciate!
Fantastic experience: I would love to say thank you to Michael Tabban , Areti Anagnostellis ,Doreen Nicolaou,Jane West,Tony, Olivia Charalambous and team Tabban. I really appreciate all you have taught me in the past 3 years, I feel I have really grown as a person. As some of you may know I work full time as a pastry cook and working 2 jobs has really taken a toll on my health. So I regret having to leave the team at Tabban you are like family. I’m going to continue to better myself with my fitness studies. I wish everyone the best for the future, hope to cross paths again down the track. Best of luck to everyone I’ve trained at Tabban. Keep going hard, I know you will reach you goals. Love King Cyrus.
Fantastic experience: I have been training a Tabban for a number of years, and travel from Hillside each morning to train at 6am. Most common question I’m asked by people is why do you go all the way to Richmond to train, isn’t there a gym closer to you! Well of course I pass dozens of gyms on my way to Tabban , but the my trainer Dorreen and the atmosphere at Tabban is the reason I go there. I recently signed up for the 20 week “body transformation” program , and have seen great results , and lost 9 kg so far. The encouragement, support and guidance I have received has been fantastic. It’s not only the staff that have made the journey enjoyable but all the people that train at the same time. I highly recommend this gym.
Thank you Katrina, loved your comment!
Fantastic experience: I stumbled across Tabban Gym online 8 years ago when i decided it was time to be involved in physical activity. My initial walk in was very intimidating as I've never been to a gym however that didn't last long. 8 years later I'm still here and consider it my second home. I train a minimum of 4 days a week at Tabban by there very reputable coaches and personally will not allow another program shape me. A couple of years ago i decided to compete and i couldn't have done it without the amazing support from everyone at this gym. Thank you for encouraging me to live an ongoing well balanced life and for making me a champion
Thank you Honey, we appreciate :)
Fantastic experience: Tabban Muscle and Body Shape in Richmond is probably one of the best gyms in Melbourne. If your goal is weight loss, body transformation or if you need a competition preparation coach - there is not better place to be. Everyone here is very friendly and they definitely know what they are doing! Their personal training program is a guarantee of a real result and its also very affordable when I compare to other prices in the city and the quality of their product. Definitely recommended!
Thank you Vita for your review!
Fantastic experience: After training at my local gym with the same PT for 9 years I was ready for a change. I thought Tabban would offer a fresh environment and it was closer to my work but it has become so much more. The dedication of the staff to their customers goals are amazing, it's such a supportive gym. I never really came to lose weight, just to keep fit and tone my body but I lost 8 kgs just by following a really clear, realistic program. I can't imagine training anywhere else now, I love this place!
Thank you Nicole for the wonderful words!
Fantastic experience: Since the two free sessions I had. I have bought 8 more sessions..that says alot about your training doesn't it? To begin with..you All..right from the receptionist to the trainers and your members I have workout with..you guys are awesome!! I feel so at home..not a minute I felt unwelcome or uncomfortable. I seriously enjoy the workout. You guys are very professional and at the same time you made it fun..the interaction with your members is excellent. I believe this is a good way of getting the most out your members in terms of performance..you push them and they will be happy put in the effort. I'm so glad to be part of the Tabban family I can't thank my daughter enough for 'parking' me at your gym..she only has nice things to say about your training as she's done two free sessions at the gym. She is so right when she said "mom you will have a good workout and you'll enjoy your stay in Melbourne even more" I will definitely train at your gym whenever I'm in town Keep up the good job!!!
Thank you Nazleen, this kind of feedback motivates us to do what we do everyday!
Fantastic experience: Tabban in Richmond is more than just a gym it’s a place that can enable & inspire your best self (inside & out). It is a lifestyle & unique community of very successful diverse beautiful souls that consciously live & breathe fitness & healthy living. I first stepped into Tabban close to 10 years ago - now almost 40 but feel 20 I have made stage 3 times with Tabban & have my best & strongest body & mind for life. Training & discovering your best body & self is a life journey & an art that once found you never take for granted. Training at & with the Tabban team with all the strength, love, care, kindness & inspiration of members reminds me of that daily. It is a gym & community that is full of soul, strength & grit with people who want to achieve extraordinary not average things in life :)
Thank you Rachel for the wonderful review!
Fantastic experience: I have been at Tabban for over a year now and I love it! Everyone is so friendly and you are always made to feel welcome. Personal training is AMAZING. I love everything about this gym. Best gym in Melbourne.
Thank you Naomi, appreciated :)
Fantastic experience: Hey Ya’ll! I’ve been training at Tabban gym for almost one year. I decided to join their group sessions as I was lacking in motivation to train by myself. I can honestly say, every single Tabban trainer is fantastic!! The sessions are all well-structured, challenging and fun all at the same time. Each trainer adds their own personal flavor, so no two sessions are ever the same. Plus, the friends I’ve made, is definitely an added bonus! I’ve noticed we all pump each other up, and help motivate/challenge each other in the best way! Approx. 8 weeks ago I made the decision to compete in my first ever bikini/fitness competition. Both Mike and Areti have been training and mentoring me. They’ve planned my nutrition, plus they support and push me in my PT sessions to maximize my physical results. They’ve both also made themselves available to answer my questions that I’ve had along the way. It’s making the whole process easy to stay mentally strong and focused on the end goal. Already the results I’m seeing are amazing!! I feel it’s the best I’ve ever looked! You don’t have to compete, but if you’re looking to make a change within yourself, I’m confident if you came into the gym and discussed your goals with any of the Tabban trainers, they could help you too make them a reality. Happy training!
Thank you Blaine, this kind of review motivate us to give our best everyday!
Fantastic experience: The day I first entered Tabban Muscle and Body Shape was the turning point of my life. Being in such a place was one of my dreams. But beside the great gym environment and the opportunity to learn the secrets behind Tabban’s unique Personal Training , here I found a community and a family to be part of. I was in the country only since a few weeks and even after years living abroad, being so far from home sometimes can be very hard. However everyone welcomed me and made me part of the group from the first day. At Tabban you can “feel” the experience and the passion. This place has something more than any other gym I’ve ever been to: it has a soul. Every day you can be inspired by a great body transformation or an extraordinary weight loss journey. You can see Athletes posing on one side of the gym while ordinary people are sweating to transform their bodies on the other side of it. You can be motivated by the pictures of the Athletes on the walls while you are pushed over your limit by one of the trainers. If you are looking for Real results whether you want to transform your body, loose weight, prepare for your first competition or you want to train in a REAL gym, pass by Tabban ;)
Thank you Stefano :)
Fantastic experience: I came to Tabban Muscle and Body Shape looking for a competition coach that could take me to the next level in my competition career. I had previously competed in Thailand and placed well, but I felt that here in Australia I needed to be part of an experienced team. With Tabban Team I competed nationally and abroad, winning my first World Title in LA in 2018. After that I continued competing until my latest competition in Shanghai, when I won the intercontinental cup and a PRO card. I'm grateful for what the team has done for me. The transformation of my body following their personal training program is incredible and I can't wait to win my next world title as a Pro Competitor!
Thank you Thana, we are proud of your competition achievements!
Fantastic experience: I have always felt uncomfortable going to gyms, but from the first day I trained here I have never felt more welcome and relaxed. Tabban Gym now feels like home- constantly support and encouragement and also great friendships made. I happily now jump out of bed at 5:30am to train. Highly Recommend
Thank you Sophie :)
Fantastic experience: Training with Areti is an honour. Her achievements in her career are beyond inspiring. Her joyful approach to training is shared by the entire team. We train hard and focused but always with a smile. One thing I absolutely love about Tabban is the older athletes and members of the team. Seeing George still training daily, being surrounded by strong women and men well over 40, 50, 60... it’s one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. The young guns are amazing too but it’s the masters crew I am inspired by the most.
Thank you Jess, it’s an honour for us to have you!
Fantastic experience: I have been at Tabban for a few years now and still loving every session. Each trainer works with you to achieve your body goals. I competed last year and although it was a big challenge, the team made it enjoyable for me. I’ve recently had a baby and am now back at gym trying to achieve my dream body again. I’ve been training with Stefano who continues to push me each session and I’ve already seen results from the last month of coming back. This gym is very family oriented, all the staff are very professional and friendly. You’re not treated as a number but apart of the Tabban family.
Thank you Diarne, we are extremely happy to have you back and can’t wait to see your body changing again!
Fantastic experience: I have been training at Tabban for over a year now and it’s the complete package! Having done a lot of personal training in the past, Tabban is the first gym that has been able to help me achieve the results I’m after in a sustainable way. They have significant knowledge and experience in body shaping and support a healthy attitude to transformation instead of unsustainable, extreme measures. Additionally, everyone there treats each other like family. There’s a great sense of community you can’t get at the chain gyms. It’s the best
Thank you Andrea, we loved reading this!
Fantastic experience: I have been training at Tabban Muscle & Body Shape for 6 months and all i can say for me Tabban is an awesome place to get fit and toned. I have joined many gyms over the years, they were very clinical and just wanted you signed and joined up, then you are left to your own devices. Tabban is very unique and has a friendly, professional team of personal trainers that will deliver results for whatever you are wanting to achieve. Also this gym has such a great positive energy, everyone from the staff to the members are fun to train and be around with, there is never a dull moment. My final note is this-'' there is the rest, and then there is the best, do not look past Tabban, I didn't, and now have got my motivation to train again thanks to Team Tabban.
Thank you Anthony, beautiful words!
Fantastic experience: Awesome
Fantastic experience: Having joined the Tabban Gym earlier this year I am well on my way to not only a more toned and athletic build, but also on a much healthier attitude toward my diet and lifestyle. The management and staff are genuinely caring and supportive in helping you reach your optimum goals not only physically but also encouraging strongly the importance of nutrition and diet. The personal trainers are professional, friendly and great fun to train with. Its one of the best decisions I've ever made, I've never felt better about myself or the way I look. Thank you to the Tabban team.
Fantastic experience: The support staff here are really nice. I left my watch in the locker room earlier today, I called and Olivia was really quick to act. She took my number, looked for my watch, found it then called me straight away!
Fantastic experience: Before I came to Tabban, I was out of shape and lacking energy and vitality. My knees hurt when I walked up stairs and, being in my 50s, I was thinking it was the beginning of the end! Now, 10 months later, everything is different. I have energy and vitality, my knees are a hundred times stronger and springier, and best of all, I'm competing in my first ever bodybuilding competition in 6 weeks' time. I'm excited by the changes in my body and mind, learning how to eat and the prospect of wearing my little orange bikini on stage!!! Love and thanks to Michael Tabban, Areti, Doreen, and all the wonderful comrades at Tabban!! xx
