Genesis: Opinions
Fantastic experience: I absolutely love this gym. The gym is always clean and tidy. The staff are always friendly, Yousef is an excellent PT. And the exercise options are wide and varied. I have nothing but good things to say about this gym.
Fantastic experience: Awesome gym, Bek and Georgia always so warm and welcoming into the gym and even leaving. Thankyou for a great experience.
Fantastic experience: Love the vibes, all the classes are the amazing! First time I’ve joined a gym and actually stuck to going regularly.
Fantastic experience: All the staff are top people and the gym has fantastic facilities. Highly recommend. Bek, Steph, Kyle and luke are the bomb
Negative experience: Genesis signed me up to a 6 month contract with no mention of its ongoing nature. No reminder or contact that my contract was nearing it's completion to save me the hundreds of dollars they have since charged me. A dishonest & contractually predatory gym that will hoodwink you with BS and then charge you out the rear end to end an ostensibly FIXED TERM contract. Avoid this place.
Fantastic experience: Such a well rounded gym.
Fantastic experience: Loving the community. Saph is a great instructor and Lily and Bek are always welcoming and make it so fun to come to gym after a long day of work
Fantastic experience: Great people great atmosphere
Negative experience: These guys suck young people in with trial memberships; fail to cancel when directed and then chase fees they claim are owed. Highly unethical.
Negative experience: Awesome gym but when asking if they could move a fan from coaching zone to the main gym area, as during peak hour it heats up and is incredibly still. I have just been informed they are going to have to increase the membership rates soon as they are going broke from the power bill.
Negative experience: Extremely unprofessional at handling matters
Fantastic experience: I love this gym! Very happy customer
Fantastic experience: Awesome atmosphere and this gym is really Family friendly'.
Fantastic experience: Clean, well equipped, great kids club
Fantastic experience: A fantastic place to go to, nice equipment, clean, really positive vibes and the staff are really great at what they do. I had some concerning issues with the direct debit payment company debitsuccess and Lily sorted it out stress free in less than 30 minutes. My trainer Stephen is so approachable and friendly and comes up with brilliantly creative ways to increase my fitness and muscle composition, and Brenton the owner (and his dogs)is an absolute delight to chat to. Really appreciate them all.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely fantastic gym! Vibes are immaculate and the staff are absolutely lovely. Couldn't have signed up to a better and fresher gym! Update: Still going many months later, this g is absolutely my go to still!
Fantastic experience: Best gym around. Offerings 24 hours access Multi level Best of the beat equipment Multiple classes free with membership a day Free pool access with your membership Has a steam room Has sauna Has showers provides GHD hair straightners and blow driers Has kids club Provides personal training Has boxing
Fantastic experience: Great gym, has everything you need and it even has a sauna and steam room.
Negative experience: Don’t sign a contract. Even after 12 months membership and tried to cancel they kept talking weekly fees for the next month. Just greed
Positive experience: Just joined for a year . Off to a rocky start though . Was supposed to have my assessment and workout routine done but the instructor got covid so flying solo at the moment. I'm sure it will work out next week . Till then I'll fake it till I make it . Update . Yes things have gotten better I just go in do my own thing .
Fantastic experience: Nice staff. Patrons are polite and serious about bettering their lives. Its never been so busy that i couldnt do my workout in the exact order i wanted to.
Fantastic experience: Good spacious gym. Very tidy and staff are friendly and helpful
Positive experience: Great big gym and friendly staff. Could do with a few more bits of equipment but that’s always the case no matter where you go! Love the place.
Positive experience: Friendly environment, good classes, equipment is clean and in good condition. Great gym. What lets me down is that they feel like a telemarketing company. Constantly calling, month before membership expires, week before, day before, on the day! They hound you afterwards for ages! Send an online enquiry and you will be hounded, answer and show interest they will double effort. Messages and emails! Put me off and I have new contacts to add to my spam list. If the customer doesn't answer then it's time for an email and then LEAVE THEM ALONE.
Fantastic experience: I love the nice warm welcome every time I enter the gym, and how much knowledge the pt's have and just friendly the staff are
Negative experience: The crèche was terrible!! The lights stay dim, the toys up high on the shelf and the kids are all sat in front of the tv. I was under the impression that the tv would be used for the odd G rated movie and we stated that we didn’t want our children to watch much tv. The shows were not pre approved the kids were watching everything from random cartoons to YouTube videos of other kids playing with toys. Everytime I dropped my kids off I took some trucks off the high shelf for them and everytime I picked them up they were put back up high, no toys were out, room was dark and all the kids are watching tv for 1-2hrs straight. I could’ve just turned on the tv and worked out at home. What really ruined it for us was my child was coming home scared after things he watched the worst being buzz light year which is PG rated and not recommended for under 7yr olds let alone a 1 and 2yr old! There’s violence and death and he couldn’t sleep for a week.
Positive experience: Nice gym, although some of the equipment needs some maintenance or replacing.. it's still a great place to work out . Friendly staff. Great atmosphere.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym with awesome staff!
Fantastic experience: New member and a fantastic place 5star
Fantastic experience: Friendly staff, lots of equipment, a variety of classes, and a great coaching zone to keep you motivated!
Fantastic experience: This is a great gym. The staff are always friendly and helpful. The coaching zone is a supportive environment to work out in and they accommodate all levels of fitness during the classes. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Dry sauna, wet sauna, every class you can think of including yoga pilates, bar and body balance. They have a power lifting gym, a box, too much to list really. The staff are extremely helpful.
Fantastic experience: Great gym, good atmosphere, clean, plenty of space spread over two floors & friendly staff. Certainly, different to any other gyms in the area
Positive experience: Great place. Friendly staff and people, even let kids of the ages of about 12 I think in with supervision and have a kindy for younger children. The only thing I would ask as is for chalk for any bars. I would also like if they had a pull up bar I did not see one of these but I may be mistaken
Fantastic experience: Great gym with a wide range of equipment. The crèche crew are such a nice group.
Fantastic experience: Very spread out awesome facility!!!!! C'mon down
Fantastic experience: Amazing kids club with a big play ground and lovely staff. Kids always ask if we can go to gym. Great variety and space. Really great instructors for the classes and amazing pts... Sammy is awesome and can't wait for my next session.
Fantastic experience: Great welcoming staff, great workout resources and staff that will answer that question.
Fantastic experience: From the moment I walked in, I felt welcome. From the efficient processing of paperwork to the full tour of the gym, and the offers of assistance at any point. The range of equipment is phenomenal, and the tv's in front of the cardio equipment make for a less onerous workout on the treadmill, bike or elliptical (or stairmaster!) Love that you can do your own workout, at your own pace, with state of the art equipment. Thanks guys - glad to be part of the Genesis family!
Fantastic experience: Excellent place I definately love it, I have fun training working out Very well equipment, many classes and very kind staff. Very professional. And also very fun. I recommend 100%

Fantastic experience: Probably one of the best gyms I've been a member of,access to a large gym with vast range of machine weights and free weights, PT's, great classes (for those who like that staff), great boxing space. Change room,Wet room and Sauna to complete the workout!
Fantastic experience: I love coming here! The staff are awesome and the equipment is great. Thanks Genesis
Negative experience: Worst customer service I've ever experienced. Contacted this place a number of times to get a call back from Rob. Always get the same thing from the girl at the reception "He's with a client. he will give you a call back" never does. Day I went to check the gym out, Rob instead of respecting our meeting time decided to book another client in, was left with the girl from the front desk that couldn't even look at me when talking to me. By far the worst customer service I've ever experienced at any gym I've ever been to or tried to sign up at.
Fantastic experience: I recommend Genesis - the equipment is great and the team friendly and supportive. My PT Jodie is fantastic.
Fantastic experience: The team at Genesis Lawnton never fail to make you feel welcome, supported and held accountable. They a so happy to see you walk through that door that you can't wait to do just that! Never leaving this gym.

Fantastic experience: Love this gym. Has very helpful and friendly staff. Great Les Mills classes with excellent instructors. Wide range of gym equipment for everyone. Glad I joined Genesis
Fantastic experience: Best gym - hands down. Sign up and you won’t regret it!
Fantastic experience: After a long time not going to a gym, i was made to feel really welcome and comfortable here. The personal trainers are amazing and its great having all the Les Mills classes I am familiar with. Clean bathrooms with steam and sauna also a nice touch. $5 a week for full family babysitting is what makes it possible for me to go.
Fantastic experience: Gym has lots of different payment options so there’s something for everyone. a large range of equipment and different areas to suit a large variety of people. The class options are great and you can do them whenever suits you best. Staff are very friendly and always willing to help you out when they can, they never forget to say hi as well. very much recommend for anyone!
Fantastic experience: Genesis Lawnton is a 24 hr gym, manned through business hrs by motivated and helpful staff, there is be a positive, friendly and inclusive culture at the gym which really appeals to me. I am looking forward to hitting my fitness goals both here at the gym and at the pool 2 mins up the road. They are linked together which makes for exceptional value for money. Thanks to the team there for making my son and I feel welcome. I would definitely recommend the gym to anyone looking for a fitness centre. - Awesome, helpful personal trainers too.... thanks guys.

Fantastic experience: Great gym. Lots of space and never have an issue having to wait for a station I am intending to use on any given day. Very clean and equipment is always well maintained. Would recommend Genesis to anyone.
Fantastic experience: Best gym I’ve been to! I’ve been a member for just over a year and have never had a problem. Memberships are flexible and affordable, wide range of equipment, plenty of space and wonderful classes and staff :)
Negative experience: Ill start this on a positive. There is no other gym like this one, thankfully. These guys are all over the place before you even get past the door, like literally the door is even faulty. Give that bad boy a decent wack in the centre of it and it will open right up for you without a keytag or membership after hours. The staff have known it for years but forking out a few $$ to fix it isnt worth the safety of their members. So if someone crazy is outside trying to get in during the middle of the night just prey they stay calm and don't slam on that door. Once you pass the door the attitude of the staff really just speaks for itself. I dont know what's higher, the memeber cancellations or the staff turnover. So if a staff member does take issue with you just stay calm and give it a few months, they'll be replaced with another temporary employee. The best part about this gym is that the staff members that really dont care or lack common professionalism manage to stick around the longest minus a few good eggs. Your comfortability and happiness at this establishment is not in the best interest at all. Your wallet is. If you email them with a concern or cancellation they won't even ask about it. I left this gym in a group with other long-term members and not one of us received a message of question. Just a final payment/cancellation notice. Im going to take a solid guess that the same employee that takes care of their emails also attempts managing their social media accounts. When they post outdated information and you politely inform them that its been updated and they have it wrong, they will delete your comment and block you off their business accounts and then post an update only hours later with the information that you made them aware of. If you leave a honest review the same will happen. The PTs is probably the best thing this place has going for it. Schoolyard atmosphere Average equipment Incompetent staff Unprofessional environment Thats my review
Positive experience: I was attending there as part of a DVA-sponsored rehab program. Excellent equipment. Only problem I found was noise. Very loud music. Group Trainers were very loud. There is a 'bike room' which could be used for these sessions by moving the bikes into the main exercise area. Staff were generally very good, considering we weren't members there, and basically just renting a time and space.
Fantastic experience: I've been a member of this gym since 2007. There have been many changes over the years, however this gym has always been awesome! Friendly, helpful staff, great facilities and great classes. Thoroughly recommended.
Fantastic experience: love this place so much!! the most friendly staff and amazing equipment. would recommend to anybody

Fantastic experience: I have only just signed up to genesis but wow wow wow! This gym is so much more than just a gym. The staff have been super helpful, receptive and supportive during the sign up process to help alleviate some of the intimidation when first beginning your fitness journey and taking that first step. Communication has been excellent! So many different membership options, perks and challenges available to truly suit anyone. The gym itself is packed to the brim with equipment and is maintained to an incredibly high standard. I can't wait to reach my goals with the team at Genesis Lawnton!

Fantastic experience: There's something here for everyone and its a super supportive space where anyone can feel welcome. Would recommend this too anyone who wants to join a gym

Fantastic experience: I just joined Genesis Gym after many years of being away from a gym, or any form of exercise due to body problems. I found the staff professional, friendly and knowledgeable. The gym itself is clean, huge with so much equipment there’s no waiting for machines, bathroom and locker facilities superior, and so many classes it’s hard to decide which ones to do. The air conditioning will be a big plus especially in our hot summers. I look forward to getting back to being a fitter healthier me again!
