Fitness First Macquarie

Fantastic experience: Had a great trial run with Michael, Emilio and Tam, highly recommended for everyone.

Negative experience: worst experience I've had. The guy with brown curly hair at reception was so rude and he needs to learn how to talk to people first before working at ANYWHERE. He talked to people in a very disrespectful way and tended to force customers sigh in for their gym without asking them friendly first. DO NOT GO TO THIS GYM.

Fantastic experience: BEST GYM. Be careful training here you might get addicted

Negative experience: Issues 1. Fitness First is not a small player in Australia ( at least in NSW ) Your equipment standard and quality is far below average quality . I am referring to the spin bikes at the front, they are old, not well maintained Eg, there are 5 bikes at the front, from left to right ( facing TV wall ).. , to my best knowledge, 2 or 3 are working .. if that.. , mechanically , they don’t feel well. You just have to jump on them and try , to verify what I have said . ( 1st bike without monitor , 2nd OK, 3rd.. some mechanical issue not feeling smooth , 4th and 5th have mechanical issues ) 2. People that train there , should be made aware , that they should not train in bare feet, or with socks .. foot disease is not something to joke about ! ( this comes down to weak management .. ., I have never seen gym staffs.. advise people for not wearing shoes.. or train with bare feet, also with socks ( wet ) and left their feet on bench ( disgusting ! ) i have seen people came to gym with thongs ! 3. lockers room .. ( now with bring your own locks.. , ) we are now back to the dark ages ! Does Fitness First want to be the laughing stock of the industry ! Ashleigh , is the manager here, kept sending me emails asking why i am not happy with gym surveys .. but this is just BS survey nothing get done !

Negative experience: My mum got Dementia couple of weeks after I joined the gym, I need to take care of her as a full time career and got help to freeze my membership for 1 year and asked me to come back and do the membership cancellation. Walked in the gym today and been told I still need to pay cancellation fee. I was so stupid didn’t check every single details on the contract and trusted the sales. Never been told I have 1 week cooling period after join and also when I freeze the membership it won’t count in the contract time. I didn’t know there’s a hidden admin fee I need to pay every quarter either. Staffs in the MQ gym are friendly when I was doing the trail, but I just couldn’t believe I still need to pay for the cancellation fee, such a cold blood, should have been told earlier so I don’t need to wait till now and pay a few more admin fees extra! Would NOT recommend the gym membership unless you come most of the days every single week for at least 1 year. You will regret believe me.

Negative experience: Customer service and attention to details are horrible. Got charged a late fee even though i'm on autopay and always have sufficient balance - was asked to provide a bank statement 24h prior to the transaction (seriously?) They are quick to charge extra, but very slow to make changes on their end - 3 times I asked to get rollers for the gym (what kind of gym doesn't have good rollers? especially with a sports store next door). When i joined 6 months ago I was told they are going to bring some basic machines (hip abductors and stair masters) - still not there. Sometimes little changes can make a big difference. Sad, considering that staff is usually friendly and helpful, but management appears to be awful.

Fantastic experience: The machines here are high quality, the staff are friendly and greet me on entry and when I leave, the bathrooms are well kept and the changerooms are big and have a lot of space, I do wish the lockers have locks but its not that hard just to bring a padlock so its fine. There are a lot of plates and a wide range of machines and enough to use, sometimes there is a wait for a machine but due to the wide range of machines its easy to move to a different machines while you wait. Also the other gym go-ers are friendly are happy to let you work in with them as well as wipe down machines when they are finished keeping the gym clean.

Negative experience: The annoying thing is that they constantly call you for enrollment, but their facilities are broken. The steam room has been broken for most days. My partner enrolled mainly for the steam room, but now it's a waste of money.

Negative experience: This gym tends to be quite crowded, particularly on weekdays. It can be challenging to find a spot for weight training, and you may often be interrupted by others, including personal trainers, looking to share the equipment during your session.

Positive experience: Their sauna is always out of order. Also, last time, it was really dirty inside, especially, the surfaces had green mosses which stayed there for more than 3 days then removed. Additionally, before they did renovation for the lockers, it was in horrible condition that more than half of the lockers were broken haha. Staff are nice, though .

Fantastic experience: If you’re looking to start a fitness journey or shake up a routine and get some results, I would highly recommend joining and getting some personal training from Aria. Since starting my training he has pin pointed specific areas that I need to work on, given me a variety of new workouts and increased my confidence within the gym setting. Each session always sees me pushing to failure to really maximise results. Aria was also able to supply a nutrition plan alongside the workout routine which was really important for me.

Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend Aria enough as a personal trainer. I joined Fitness First MQ specifically to train with him after witnessing the impressive results another friend achieved with his guidance. His expertise and support helped me not only meet but exceed my fitness goals. I've become stronger, lost weight, gained muscle mass and significantly reduced my body fat thanks to his tailored approach in training. If you’re searching for a trainer who is committed, encouraging, and gets real results, Aria is your go-to, highly recommend!!

Fantastic experience: I joined FFMQ to participate in Aria’s personal training sessions. He is the first trainer I’ve encountered who believes in targeted weight training to help clients achieve their desired body shape. Thanks to Aria’s dedication and meal plan, I’ve shed several kilos and developed a more toned physique.

Fantastic experience: I would like to give this 5 star rating to PT Aria. Since I’ve started training I have noticed significant improvements on my overall strength but specifically my shoulders and neck. I’ve seen numerous osteopath, chiropractor, EP to help with the pain I suffer in my neck and shoulder for the past year and non of the therapies provided long term relief. The past few weeks training with Aria has significantly helped my pain and improved my strength. Aria has been nothing short of an exceptional trainer, he is professional, knowledgeable, and very experienced.

Fantastic experience: Aria is fantastic! He’s super motivating and knows how to push you to get real results. I’m stronger and fitter thanks to his training. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Training with Aria at Macquarie Fitness First has been amazing! Aria's energy, expertise, and encouragement have transformed my fitness journey. I feel stronger and more confident every day. Highly recommend Aria for anyone looking to crush their fitness goals!

Fantastic experience: Aria is an exceptional trainer who offers great guidance and support. Although he doesn't train me directly, Aria is always there to help and guide me when needed. I've observed him working with others, and his training approach is both effective and motivating. His positive energy makes the gym an even better place to be. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to elevate their fitness journey.

Fantastic experience: The staff here have provided a very welcoming experience for a big fella like me who was scared to start. Michael and Ashrey took me through what joining the gym would be like, assuaged my fears and helped me get started on my gym journey.

Fantastic experience: Started training at Fitness First earlier this year - ended up booking sessions with one of your PTs Aria - super personable positive trainer - always happy to have a joke or laugh about life, very accommodating with scheduling and really motivated me during sessions - exactly the kind of person you need in a role like this.

Negative experience: The promotion is pretty good, but it's very different from the real things. The facilities are fine. One of the workers told me my membership would be automatically cancelled one month later, and I confirmed with him for more than three times. Now he denied it and let the fee being charged. So annoying. No one can help me to investigate it. So helpless.

Fantastic experience: Michael and Ashrey were excellent in motivating me towards a better life and physique. They motivated me to work out.

Fantastic experience: Michael and Ashrey were super helpful with getting me started with Fitness First. At first I was hesitant, but they have inspired me to try out the gym for the first time and I have loved it ever since. I would recommend it to anyone over the university gym which is very crowded and not a good culture at all. Keep up the good work guys !

Fantastic experience: I was afraid to hire a male trainer, as I was afraid he’d be too tough for me, but I couldn’t be happier with Ori. I find him to be a compassionate and encouraging trainer who pushes me without exhausting me (and patiently tolerates all my whinging at the squat rack). He was very understanding of my initial lack of confidence in the gym and occasional fear and reluctance with heavier or more challenging exercises; I now feel stronger not only in body, but also in mind. He’s clearly passionate about his work and wants to see his clients succeed. Also, the food is great! It was a pleasant surprise indeed to find out that not only did I not have to starve myself into ketosis, but I was in fact expected to eat MORE carbs—a blessing for this lover of Italian food. Hire Ori if you want big gains and like eating! He’ll ask for a lot of your time, but it’s more than worth it to me.

Negative experience: Their cancellation policy is a joke and will rip you off for years if you decide to join. Just raising awareness because i have been a victim of this. Can’t believe how they run this business with such unfairness

Fantastic experience: I have been training at different locations of Fitness first but I’ll have to say the Macquarie Fitness First is the most spacious and cleanest one I’ve been to. The friendly staff and their care makes it even a better experience. I’ve been training with Aria (PT) for the past 4 weeks and I’m quite impressed with what we have achieved. His commitment to pushing me Beyond my limits and his care and knowledge was more than what I was expecting from a PT. He’s exposed me to a whole new world of training. Thanks to Aria

Fantastic experience: I’ve had a few personal trainers in the past, but Aria is by far the best. His expertise in weight loss is unparalleled, and his tailored programs and unwavering support have been truly transformative. Aria’s motivational approach and personalized strategies make weight loss not just achievable but enjoyable. With Aria, every session is a step closer to your goals, and his commitment to your success is exceptional. Highly recommend!

Negative experience: BEWARE OF ARIA HE IS ABUSIVE TOWARDS WOMEN AND ATTEMPTS TO INTIMIDATE THEM. Aria is not a good worker here he is rude and sexist and is clearly bribing his clients to put good reviews. I don’t know where he grew up but we live in Australia and his customer service and attitude is not very nice or align with Australian standards of customer service. I went to use a machine as I had been waiting over half an hour and I know this because I spotted the same coloured water bottle at the machine for over half an hour without anyone using it. On every machine at this gym there is a sign that says clearly “Anyone between rests please share equipment with other gym goers” I checked with staff and this ALSO applies to personal trainers so there is no excuse for him to come rushing over and abruptly saying “We are using that next!!!! There is a million other machines!!!!” Then when I mention uhh okay I didn’t know this water bottle has been here for over half an hour with no one here he then yells at me and says “We are using this next!!!!!” So rude and unprofessional and completely unacceptable. The fact this person even has a job and is being paid is ludicrous. Completely unacceptable rude behaviour yelling at a woman I don’t know what country he is from either Middle Eastern or Indian but he needs to consider values and expectations while living in this country as being abusive to women is disgusting, frowned upon and not normal behaviour.

Fantastic experience: My review is for my trainer Naz. I have always struggled with the idea of a personal trainer as I’m a big fan of staying in my comfort zone… but we started training with Naz at the end of 2023 and have never looked back. Naz makes training enjoyable. The exercises are tough but she chooses options to suit my needs and is extremely patient. Naz is super friendly and works with me to ensure that I push myself but also respect my limitations. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Naz to anyone looking for a fun trainer who has an exceptional understanding of training techniques that work your entire body.

Fantastic experience: My 5 star review is solely based on the personal trainer named Naz! She is a wonderful trainer with a caring yet motivational disposition . She cares about her clients and what they do both inside and outside the gym! She is not intimidating and very friendly. My sister and I have been training with her for a few months and I am feeling and looking better. More over Naz has encouraged me to change my habits and make real changes. I could not recommend her enough! It is only because of her that we have returned to the gym after a very long hiatus!

Fantastic experience: I referred three friends to join in Fitness first. All of us really enjoy group classes. Thank you.

Fantastic experience: Ashrey and Michael. These 2 individuals, they are kind and considerate, I felt like I found Christian brothers who get me. And I think they are making God's will happen by informing about exercise and health for all peoples.

Positive experience: Thanks to Michael's warm welcome, I started my weekly subscription. It's a very wholesome and nice facility. Except for the lockers that are in really bad condition, this has has a very positive vibe overall.

Fantastic experience: The staff were extremely friendly, and gave me free-trial on my way to university. Michael showed me around the gym and was extremely simply to understand.

Fantastic experience: It was a great service and I had a good experience. Got a free trial from one of the staff members Michael when he approached me on the street and it was a great opportunity. The equipment were good and well designed and Ashrey was a really good trainer, I definitely enjoyed my time there. Due to possible budget problems, I don't seek membership but I would recommend it to anyone who's interested in the gym, it's ethical and easy to access, definitely one of the best options out there. I definitely recommend to everyone. Thanks for the great service Michael and Ashrey!!!

Negative experience: Old equipment, lockers don’t work. Tried 30 lockers today, not a single one worked. Fifth time I’ve complained to staff about it and was told 4 months ago that new lockers were inbound. Clearly they’re not. Equipment is also very old, scarce and often dirty. Would highly recommend another gym for the prices you pay for ff

Fantastic experience: The best gym in town, the manager Ashrey is so friendly and helpful and Michael helps me reach my fitness goals. All the best, join the gym!

Fantastic experience: The modern look, cleanliness and helpful staff make this location. Been a while since I last visited (years) and the renovations truly added to the gym. If I had to add constructive feedback, more rowers and squat racks.

Fantastic experience: My experience when I went to fitness first Macquarie centre was incredibly amazing. As I went to fitness first in the afternoon, two brilliant people named Michael and Ashrey guided me throughout the benefits of going to the gym and how much it can relax me mentally and improve my health physically. These two men were so kind to me that I wanted to join as soon a possible to achieve a better goal, and a better life through good health and friendship. I appreciate everything they’ve done for me on the day I came here, and I look forward to working out in this gym to attain a better healthy suitable life.

Fantastic experience: I have had an amazing experience at a Fitness First Macquarie. Michael and Ashrey met me on the street and helped me get started with my fitness journey and achieve my fitness goals. Thanks so much guys!

Negative experience: The Place not only can not provide basic service to thier customer, none of the locker workes, i do not think steam room has been cleaned for ages, on top of that today i have experienced ruddest reception blonde lady ever, she not even care about the feed back that i gave, on top of that she seems does not even way to be at work, so disappointed at her service, such a good brand having staff like that, what a shame.

Fantastic experience: Shout out to Naz. Started PT sessions in March after getting stuck trying to lose weight. It’s been going great and she’s also helping me with my posture.

Negative experience: Terrible gym, old equipment and disgusting smell coming from the bathrooms, staff member, Aria Monazah….very rude, more interested in taking pictures of himself…..not sure why, he looked as small as Danny DeVito and pretty sure he was responsible for the smell in the bathroom.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Nazanin for few months now and I can not express my gratitude and appreciation for Nazanin in words. She is genuinely passionate about your goals. She has the perfect combination of being firm yet kind and caring to tailor a pre planned work out session for you. I always look forward to attend to my session with Naz. If It wouldn’t have been for her constant encouragement I would have probably get carried away with my busy life style and neglect my mental and physical health.

Negative experience: We had a terrible experience with our membership of this club. We received a written promise from the manager who signed up my daughter around the ability to terminate the contract because my daughter was leaving the country to study overseas. Ashleigh Bell the gym manager refused to honour their written promise to us stating that the manager who signed us up had left the gym and that although my daughter was flying over to settle before the school year began, they would not cancel the membership before the start of the school year. They showed no flexibility and are incentivised to make money on contracts where people are no longer using their facilities. A business model built on guilt and greed?

Fantastic experience: I couldn't be happier with my experience training with Naz(Nazanin).She is absolutely perfect! Her approach to fitness is tailored to each individual's body, ensuring optimal results. What sets her apart is her ability to adapt exercises to suit my needs and abilities, making every session challenging yet enjoyable. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dedicated and knowledgeable personal trainer.

Fantastic experience: Nazanin is the best PT of all time. She ensures that my technique is always correct to get the best result possible. She is extremely reliable and punctual. Always ready to start training ahead with an exercises routine planned. Always checks up on me after every workout session. Strongly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I'd highly recommend Aria as personal trainer in this gym. I go to him once a week, as well as doing my own training, but it's been a great way to keep on track and set small goals. Especially the diet plan that he prepared for my fitness journey, extremely helpful. I've been with him about 9 months now and it's probably been the longest time I've stuck with any consistent fitness plan, shoutout to Aria!

Fantastic experience: Recommended by my fri to join this gym and turned out great experience. Luckily that chose Aria as my first PT to start my fitness training . Aria is focused on helping me achieve my goals and makes every session challenging (& somehow fun). He ensures that my technique is always correct to avoid any injuries. Thanks for his support and pro training advice, my fitness has increased noticeably and I’ve seen improvements in my ability to complete more core exercises. High recommended Aria if someone looking for the great quality training!

Fantastic experience: Good gym for workout and near the school. Has been training with my PT Aria, he is simply outstanding with his expertise and knowledge.

Enjoyed his personalized approach, coupled with unwavering support and motivation in every session. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and results-driven personal trainer!!!!

Positive experience: the gym is a bit out dated. some bench needs wd40 to adjust the angles. agree with other users 35% of the wardrobe is not working. But Sveto the personal trainer is the best PT I have used in last 5 years

Fantastic experience: Ive been having personal training with Naz and she is exceptional. She has helped me to come back from injury and being seriously unfit. I still have a long way to go but Naz has helped me feel optimistic and motivated. And I just look forward to her sessions so much. I have made great fitness gains in just a couple of months due to Naz’s personal training.She is highly skilled and very knowledgeable.

Negative experience: The gym at Macquarie Centre in Sydney was once well maintained. But over the last 5 years maintenance has been badly neglected. The equipment is very old now and is often broken. Also, about 50% of lockers in the men’s locker room are now broken and in some cases fell apart (see pic) and repair has not been done for at least a year. Despite of this, the gym is overcrowded most of the time and it is hard to get onto most machines. Have a good look at other gyms before you decide to join this one!!

Fantastic experience: I personally don't like to leave reviews, but this one is well deserved. I recently had my share of a health scare - stage 3 hypertension, close to a stroke/heart attack with regular cases of joint inflammation which leads to mobility issues. Sitting at 99kg, almost demotivated and close to accepting where I was, I decided to make a serious change. By chance I was referred to Sveto at fitness first macquarie. He custom tailored my workout plan to assist in my goals of building strength and mobility. Noticed that the battle to strengthen the body was also a battle to strengthen the mind. In summary I just wanted to live and be healthy and I knew I was in the right hands.He implemented small habits that I needed to complete daily which held me accountable. Might sound simple, but the method helped motivate me daily to tick those tasks and boxes off. Workouts would change every few weeks, so it would keep me interested, and excited to see what workout was next. I had occasional joint flare ups during the process,  but Svetos experience and knowledge to modify my workout acknowledging feedback from injury, allowing me to still be able to work through. Around 2 months later, I've dropped down to 87kgs. His supportive attitude keeps you motivated  and focused  in the moment to push through. This is really just the start to my journey, glad Sveto is a part of it. He really takes time to notice small details about people, build a personal relationship and engages with a genuine care for what he does.Would highly recommend  his assistance in anyone's fitness journey. Trust the process....believe the results speak for itself....

Fantastic experience: "Sveto has been an extraordinary trainer throughout my fitness journey. His unparalleled expertise and personalized approach have transformed my goals into achievements. His dedication and motivation propelled me towards attaining an athlete's body, making every session a rewarding experience. Grateful for Sveto's guidance; he's truly a fitness game-changer!"

Fantastic experience: I cannot speak highly enough of Aria at Macquarie FF! His dedication to helping clients succeed in their weight loss journey is truly commendable. Aria goes above and beyond to create personalized workout plans that push me to my limits while ensuring safety and effectiveness. His knowledge and expertise have been invaluable in helping me achieve my goals. If you’re looking for a supportive and results-driven personal trainer, Aria is the one to choose!

Fantastic experience: Aria’s expertise extends beyond traditional weight loss training; his boxing skills are second to none. Under his guidance at Macquarie Fitness First, I’ve not only seen remarkable progress in my weight loss journey but have also developed confidence and skill in boxing. Aria’s tailored approach and attention to technique have elevated my workouts to new levels. If you’re looking to incorporate boxing into your fitness routine, Aria is the trainer to trust.

Fantastic experience: Fitness First, especially guided by my personal trainer, Aria, is the epitome of excellence. His personalized training sessions push the limits with expertise and motivation. A fitness journey worth every moment! Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: I would just like to publicly acknowledge and thank Nazanin Khanifar at Macquarie Fitness First team for all the great training session she has provided. Her expertise and knowledge of the subject matter has been invaluable in helping me to understand and apply what I've learned. I found Naz to be very professional and diligent to her work and clients. I actually look forward to my workouts and most importantly she ensures that my technique is always correct to avoid any injuries, always set up and ready to start training ahead of time, with an exercise routine planned. Her enthusiasm and positive attitude have also made the experience enjoyable and engaging.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been using this gym for half a year now. Been working with Naz - an incredible personal trainer who is continually helping me reach my fitness goals.

Negative experience: Over the last 5 weeks I have not been able to find a locker that works in the male change room… Poor form from what used to be a premier gym chain… come one FF you can do better…

Negative experience: Good gym except every time I’ve had to deal with fitness first their priority is money and not you. However the people at the front desk and trainers are awesome but the company sucks

Positive experience: This gym has a good environment and machines and overall clean but their payments are hopeless, tried freezing my membership twice but they continued to take over the amount it should be and making up lowsey excuses to cover up for it.

Fantastic experience: Most commerical gyms are abit funny with chalk use, but lately I have noticed they now have a chalk stand in the lifting area which is good

Fantastic experience: I had an excellent experience here! Michael was very informative, motivating and helpful with all of my questions. I thoroughly enjoy the classes and the customer service at this gym.

Fantastic experience: Aria is a fantastic personal trainer! He makes workouts enjoyable, and I've seen excellent results.! His dedication and experience enhanced my fitness journey!

Negative experience: Today i got force to join the member and i already said that i don't interest to join but still they forced me to join the member and they forced me to filled out the registration form they said just filled the contact details but it shown that you must had to fill ur bank acc number i think this really really anproppiated for the staff to do this.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Ori at Fitness First, Macquarie for the past few weeks and I couldn’t be happier with my progress. With his guidance and encouragement I’ve seen a great improvement in my strength and overall fitness level. He also provides valuable advice on nutrition. I highly recommend Ori as a personal trainer.

Negative experience: Hi Macquarie Team, I want to share my feedback on the one-month enrollment plan, which requires customers to provide notice of cancellation on the very first day of joining. This policy appears to be quite unreasonable and not customer-centric. Customers expect to pay for the value they receive, and it's essential that any charges align with the services they have actually used. As a highly dissatisfied customer, I strongly recommend revisiting and refining your plan with a focus on a fair and value-oriented exchange.

Negative experience: I double and triple checked with the admin about the final payment date and received the email confirmation. However it still direct debited from my account the next week. I will lodge a dispute with the bank and cancelled the direct debit using the app. So if you plan to cancel your membership, make sure you tell your bank to cancel the direct debit agreement immediately. $20 is not a big deal for me, but if take the number of possible over charged money, it could be a significant amount.

Fantastic experience: Aria is an exceptional personal trainer, specializing in weight loss, based in Macquarie park fitness first. His personalized approach sets him apart, tailoring each session to individual needs and goals. Aria’s deep knowledge of fitness and nutrition, combined with motivating coaching style, ensures clients stay committed to their weight loss journey.

Fantastic experience: Started in September with Sveto and just under 2 months have improved vastly due to his organisational skills program and food plan. Sveto also is an amazing due to motivation and care. Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: Fitness First has truly transformed my fitness journey. The staff's professionalism and dedication shine through in every aspect of my experience. The variety of workout options and cutting-edge equipment make it an ideal place for achieving fitness goals. What sets Fitness First apart is their knowledgeable and supportive team of trainers, especially Stevo. His expertise and personalized guidance have been instrumental in my progress.

I highly recommend Fitness First to anyone seeking a fitness community that prioritizes personal growth and well-being.

Negative experience: Never been to this gym. Just giving a 1 star review for ambushing me on my way from uni to the Macquarie Centre to get something to eat and refusing to let go after I said I'm not interested. No means no.

Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough positive things about my experience with Aria at Macquarie Fitness First! From the moment I started training with him, I knew I was in excellent hands. Aria is not just a personal trainer; he’s a motivator, a mentor, and a true fitness expert. His dedication to helping her clients achieve their goals is unmatched. He customizes every workout session to suit my needs and pushes me to reach new heights. His knowledge of exercise techniques, nutrition, and overall wellness is incredibly impressive. A+++

Fantastic experience: I have been a member at mq FF for over a year and trained by Brooke for almost 4 months on and off. Really impressed and had a great experience overall. Brooke is very knowledgeable and really eager to help. For somebody like me who dreaded gym, she really helped me come out of my shell and to work on my pain points. I recommend Brooke if you are really looking long term results and commitments

Fantastic experience: Brook an amazing trainer! I have had my fair share of trainers throughout the years, and I have never met a trainer who is as knowledgeable and proactive in learning about the best training techniques for her clients. She is very genuine and not your typical trainer.she is great with her client base as friendly.she is always willing to cater to any injury; alternatively she certainly knows how to extend you so you achieve your best results. No session is ever the same which makes it fun yet challenging.

Fantastic experience: The macquary fitness first is the best gym I’ve been to. my personal trainer is Ariya who one of the best PT and also he’s so professional knowledgeable and supportive.thanks Ariya

Fantastic experience: Great gym, super friendly and helpful staff!!! Especially that good looking reception guy, I think his name is Yen I particularly look forward to Hee (Heidi) Park's BodyCombat classes. Each class is full of energy, with a group of people that share the same passion for health, exercise and combat

Fantastic experience: Fitness First Macquarie has been my choice for a year now, and I enjoy working out here. Brooke is a great PT, very motivating and helpful in modifying any exercise for my ability level. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for guidance in achieving their fitness goals, no matter your starting point.

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Sydney! Thanks to Emilio the new staff member is an absolute legend and provided a free gym tour and demonstrated how every machine works!

Negative experience: I would like to express my dissatisfaction with Fitness First. I purchased a membership on Saturday but found a better option and requested cancellation through the online form and in person at the gym. So far, there has been no contact or cancellation, and the debit is scheduled for Thursday. I need urgent assistance to resolve this. And now, Fitness First discount $99 dollars on my debit card and I have never used the GYM.

Fantastic experience: I look forward to coming to Macquarie Fitness First! The atmosphere is positive and safe and the staff are friendly. The space is tidy, clean and easy to navigate about. They offer a range a training techniques including personal training. All the trainers are super nice and take an interest in you no matter what fitness level you’re at. I personally have been training with Aria. Aria has helped me achieve my fitness goals of overall total body fitness and strength through using a wide variety of equipment and exercises. He is able to quickly suit to my needs and in general he is a really nice guy who takes care of his clients. i recommend him to anyone looking for a PT for any sort of fitness goal. Thank you Aria A+++

Fantastic experience: It’s a great facility, with friendly staff, variety of equipment and has a variety of great personal trainers allowing me to connect with Sveto who did an amazing job helping me to achieve my fitness goals

Fantastic experience: Recently decided to switch gyms. Hearing good things about Fitness First and having a terrible experience at both Anytime Fitness and Macquarie University Gym. (do NOT go to either), I decided to come to FF instead. Within minutes, I knew this was my new gym! The staff was supportive, helpful, and all knew what they were doing. I can personally attest to Brendan, Emilio, Jackson, Michael, and Lakshay. All great workers and made me feel at home.

Negative experience: My friend and I asked to have a free session to check out the gym. We expected the staff to ask us to sign up after our session, what we didn't expect was 20 minutes of the most aggressive salesman tactics to be thrown our way to get us to sign up. After which in a last ditch resort once they knew we aren't signing up, they informed us that we have to pay $32 for our session... If we were expected to pay they should have been upfront about it. They also mentioned the gym is a premium platinum gym, just a heads up to anyone thinking of visiting, the gym equipment felt like it was on the brink of failure and looks at least 10 years old.

Fantastic experience: Aria from FF Macquarie has been great as my PT. I have been training with him for over a year and I am amazed at the results. He goes above and beyond in helping me to achieve my goals. He offers me support and motivates me more than I would expect a PT to do and I have him to thank for pushing me to get my fitness to the level I am at now, where for the first time in my life, I am proud of my fitness level. I had been hesitant to work with a PT in the past, but Aria is really not like other PTs I have trained with, he makes going to the gym fun. +++

Positive experience: gym is much better than top ryde (platinum too and it’s absolute garbage), but can tell it caters more for the casuals. no deadlift platform or at least an area designated for it. plates are old and not standardised, one leg extension machine for the entire gym is a bit of an odd one but the staff are generally very polite, well lit and plenty of space is also a big plus. lots of room to improve though.

Negative experience: Waiting for using a machine but Moji who is a trainer took it. I let him know i was waiting he does not care. And i asked his name. He offer me sharing the machine. What the great gym.... if you do not join a persnal training you can not use the machine...

Fantastic experience: Started the bodypump session in fitness first macquarie on wed with Heidi a few months back and I have not missed a session with her because she is absolutely amazing. She is a dedicated instructor, completely passionate at what she does. Yet to try her bodycombat!

Negative experience: I am going to retract my previous review - I asked for personal trainer. The personal trainer manager was having a meeting and I was told he will contact me. It has been more than one week, no news at all. Will take my money elsewhere.

Fantastic experience: I love FF Macquarie. Great atmosphere and handy location. Love the camaraderie I’m Heid’s Bodycombat classes. It’s such a fun workout and even better with Heidi’s friendly and positive encouragement!
