Dukes Gym Abbotsford

Fantastic experience: A quintessential neighbourhood gym! Great equipment, authentic vibe, and great trainers. Jono - is an absolute legend! He understanding your needs and pushes you to your limit! Highly recommend Dukes!

Fantastic experience: I joined Duke’s for a 28 day transformation and nearing the end of it, I have seen visible results! I have lost cm’s off my waist and chest, and the scales have gone down too. Mak is a great PT and takes a very holistic approach to improving your health and setting up good habits. The gym is a very nice and supportive environment to work out in too.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member of Dukes Abbotsford for a while now, and I can’t recommend it enough! The equipment is always new and maintainers, and the atmosphere is welcoming and supportive. A special shoutout to my personal trainer, Mac—an absolute legend! Mac’s knowledge, motivation, and tailored approach have completely transformed my workouts. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to hit specific fitness goals, Mac is the trainer you want in your corner. Thanks to the team at Duke’s and Mac for creating a space where fitness feels fun and achievable. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I was paired with Mak for the 6 week challenge and had an absolute ball! He took the time to listen to what I wanted to achieve (run faster and further, get stronger to make running and hiking easier and have fun doing it) and set up a doable, not boring plan. Mak made training easy and was a bundle of laughs at every catch up. If you want to have fun with your training while still achieving your goals work with Mak.

Fantastic experience: I am so glad I found this gym and that Mak was behind the front desk. I limped in on a crutch, a long-term runner with a torn glute medius thinking my life had ended because I couldn't run for 8 weeks (yea, injured runners are dramatic). Mak was so friendly and also related very much to being a runner and how important a return to the pavement was for me. He immediately had ideas on how to help make me stronger, so I could rehab back to running in conjunction with my physio's advice. I really didn't think a month ago that I wouldn't miss running but the programme he has me on has made me strong and I feel and look better than ever. Plus, if any injured runners want a cardio challenge, the assault/air bike will do that nicely ☠️ The gym is clean, the equipment is top notch and clearly well maintained. And the fees are just excellent, I feel very lucky I walked into Duke's Abbotsford. Mak is a great personal trainer and absolute gem of a human. As a complete novice with gym equipment, I've never felt silly asking questions and he gives advice that's easy to follow and has built my confidence quickly. ☀️☀️☀️

Fantastic experience: I joined Duke's just as I found out I was pregnant. I began personal training each week as well as training on my own. I instantly connected with Mak who checked in on me monthly and made sure I was hitting my goals, while maintaining my safety. The ladies room in particular was a key reason for me joining as I like to train as privately as I can. The equipment is the perfect amount of functional without being hard to use or excessive. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time being trained by Mak each week and having a lot of laughs. I recommend both Duke's and Mak to anyone who wants a personalised approach to training.

Fantastic experience: This gym has everything you want in a gym. Lots of different kinds of equipment, is very reasonably priced, and has really helpful personal trainers!

Fantastic experience: Having never set foot in a gym before, coming to Duke's Gym every week has made me feel comfortable and confident in learning how to train effectively. My trainer, Mak, has pushed me consistently to achieve goals I didn't even know I could reach. Would recommend.

Fantastic experience: "This gym is where goals become achievements. With cutting-edge facilities and dedicated trainers, every session is tailored to push my limits and elevate my performance. The supportive community and inspiring environment make every visit an opportunity to excel."

Fantastic experience: Clean and comfortable gym, with exceptional trainers! This has been my home gym for 4 years, and am currently training with Mak. His programs have been effective, I used to train at least 1.5 hours before tiring out but with his program, I get everything done with half the time! Always feeling great coming back to the gym and looking forward to many more years training here!

Fantastic experience: Good vibe and great trainers at Dukes always! Have been training with Mak for a month now, very effective program. Used to train 1-2 hours at the gym. 45 minutes now and I'm done. Thanks for getting me back on track and helping me achieve my goals Mak!

Fantastic experience: Dukes Gym is a friendly place with helpful staff, clean facilities, and convenient 24/7 access. The dedicated women's only section is also greatly appreciated.

Fantastic experience: Six stars

Being 24/7 is a life safer If you need a amazing train Mak is your guy, help we’ll all your need if you are wanting to loose weight get stronger or even have some aches and pains always got a plan to work with it or to make it stronger

Fantastic experience: My experience at Dukes has been A1 since the get-go. I hadn't worked out properly for close to a decade, and was looking for a good starter PT package. I paired up with Mak, a PT there, and the experience has been fantastic. The place has great equipment and a pretty relaxed vibe. Keep it up, Dukes!

Fantastic experience: Love Duke’s Gym and especially the women’s only section! Have found training with PT Mak to be a great way to get back into the gym ! He’s been very helpful in tailoring exercises / helping me to prevent injury.

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym! Always clean, never have to wait for machines. Such friendly & knowledgeable staff. Really great women’s only section!

Fantastic experience: I think this is a good place for gymers with new and modern machines and good furnitures. They keep everything clean and tidy. They also have a women’s section which I really like. I also trained with a PT who is really friendly and enthusiastic. All the PT here are really good and detailed.

Positive experience: Everything was amazing, I met Shainah (PT) for 4 session she is wonderful, the only thing i want to mention that (Women's Only Section), it’s not very suitable for us as a hijabi, the coaches men simetimes will be there with the ladies clinet.

Fantastic experience: Spacious, well maintained, never too full. Great gym

Fantastic experience: Best gym! Amazing facilities and staff.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, good amount of space and trainers are good too.

Fantastic experience: The gym is great! PTs are very helpful!

Fantastic experience: Dukes Gym Abbotsford has been so incredible with helping my partner and I get started on our fitness journey! We were both a little intimidated to start at a gym, but the great reviews really helped us decide and we've had the best time. We also love having Katrina as our PT - she's given us so much assistance and has helped grow our confidence so much

Fantastic experience: Well equiped, friendly staff, clean and tidy. Informative staff that are well trained and helpful, always feel like they are there to help you achieve your goals! My PT Shainah is always thoughtful, working towards making my training sessions enjoyable to achieve my goals! Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Shainah is the absolute best! The fact that I've been motivated to gym regularly and consistently over the last year for the 1st time in my life after a dozen false starts is a testament to her being a fantastic trainer. She is with me every step of the way, supporting and encouraging. Always very patient with me and my taxing work schedules. Dukes is well-equipped and the team is very knowledgeable and approachable, able to tailor sessions to any need. I would 100% recommend Shainah and Dukes :D

Fantastic experience: I switched to this gym recently from another close by and found this place better for my goals and confidence in that a machine is generally available at all times. Compared others in the area it is cleaner, less busy and has anything you need for a workout.

Fantastic experience: Duke is one of the great gym in Melbourne I have ever been.I had 4 weeks challenge with Katrina W. She was absolutely amazing gave me lots knowledge about nutrition and muscles. She made me lose belly fat and reshape me in very short time. Thanks for all your efforts see you soon.

Fantastic experience: I've been training with Malin twice a week for the past four weeks, and the results have been incredible. When I started, my knee was causing me pain and limiting my workouts. Today, I'm thrilled to share that I've made significant progress. In just four weeks, I've gone from struggling with 30kgs on the Angled Machine leg press to hitting 160kgs on my last set. I'm amazed by how far I've come and grateful for Malin's guidance and support.

Fantastic experience: Been at Dukes now for a few years - diagnosed with diabetes and being close to 60 I have managed to get down to my target weight and build strength with the help of all the trainers - and a few of the patrons. Great place for a diverse age group . Also I do smile way to much

Fantastic experience: Clean, wide range of machines and rarely busy.

Fantastic experience: Amazing trainers, great facility, worth every cent!

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym with great quality equipments, very spacious, highly experienced trainers and a decent membership price. I started my training journey for the first time ever at Dukes gym and can’t be happier enough. Their women’s only section was an added facility for me to leverage as I wasn’t confident enough to train otherwise. I opted for the PT sessions twice/thrice a week for a couple of months with Shainah. I needed huge help getting into a fitness routine as I had never lifted weights or done any kind of strength training before and I’m glad I did as now I’m confident about stepping into the gym and working out with different sorts of equipment. The regular training program helps me to stay on track to achieve my fitness goals. Big Shout out to Shainah who helped me through this. I look forward to our sessions every week!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to Dukes for 3.5 months now and am really enjoying it! The staff are all really approachable and it’s got a great atmosphere. I’ve been working with my PT Shainah every week, as well as doing my programme by myself and have noticed a massive difference in myself already. They’re super supportive of my goals inside the gym and out!

Fantastic experience: Best gym! The place is clean and well equipped. The staff made me feel welcome and comfortable. My personal trainer Kat is exceptionally knowledgeable, she understands my fitness level and made a perfect workout plan!

Fantastic experience: A great local gym with great facilities, heaps of equipment and more importantly very friendly and welcoming staff! I signed up for PT with Danny and he has been super helpful in getting me started with training.

Fantastic experience: Great facilities and super supportive staff and culture. highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym with loads of equipment, knowledgeable trainers and a very decent price point. I needed some help getting back into my fitness routine and chose the weekly PT option, which includes gym access, one PT session a week and a training program to follow. So glad I did as along with losing weight, I'm now confident stepping into any gym and picking up all sorts of equipment. Shout out to Kat & Danny who helped me get to this point! Cannot recommend enough :)

Negative experience: Former member. Gym has a weird vibe and the owner's a tool.

Fantastic experience: Dukes gym is great with an amazing range of equipment, it is super clean and really easy to navigate around and also has a super friendly team which is important to me. I have also been training with Kat and Danny who have been great in developing a super challenging program for me to meet my fitness goals with an emphasis on correct technique, and something new and exciting to keep me coming back every time. They are also extremely supportive and motivating and helping to make sure I keep working on my goals. Highly recommended!

Negative experience: I had an awful experience with the staff and management at Dukes Abbotsford. When trying to cancel my membership the dukes phone would ring out and my messages werent returned at all, this is consistent with my experience as a member as you were mostly ignored after signup. When i got a hold of Tom and advised i wanted to cancel my membership due to a house move he did not action my request but instead ignored it, leaving my account active, i was still being charged without receiving any communication about the charges for a further month until they decided to send my information to a debt collector. I was entirely under the understanding my account had been closed for this time, and this came to light once the Debt collector contacted me to chase over $200, which was significantly more than the month 'owing'. Even after escalating this to upper management (johnathan) i was brushed off and told to just 'do a payment plan' as if the money was the problem not the lack of professional integrity or customer account transparency. Dukes took absolutely no responsibility even though i had all of the details to clearly state my case including call logs from their system! Disgusting business ethics. Never again.

Fantastic experience: Dukes Gym is awesome, best gym I’ve been to. They’ve got everything you could need in a gym, and the trainers are encouraging, supportive and kind. I’ve been doing PT sessions with Katrina and she’s just the best- she pushes and supports me and I couldn’t recommend her sessions more!

Fantastic experience: Kat is an incredible trainer! She worked with me to tailor a program that suits my lifestyle and is an excellent motivator. I’ve been seeing her for a couple of months and have already seen great results. She’s open, warm and super supportive!

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym with endless equipment, no wait time during peak times, fresh amenities, incredible training programs, exceptional personal trainers, and a healthy, supportive club culture. Couldn’t recommend more!

Fantastic experience: Had the best experience being trained by Kat. She helped me get my confidence back and taught me ways to train that will benefit me and my lifestyle. Kat always provided positive reassurance and didn’t make me feel self conscious when training in the bigger areas. I always felt confident and excited meeting for our sessions and knew that I was going to have a good workout no matter what she had in store for me. Highly recommend her as a personal trainer, especially for people wanting to build confidence in the gym and who are ready to be pushed to their limits. Thanks Kat

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym! Has everything you need and a really great atmosphere. Kat is my PT and she is incredibly knowledgeable and makes the sessions so much fun

Fantastic experience: Dukes is great, super friendly staff, plenty of equipment. Would recommend!

Fantastic experience: Been working out here for almost two years. Mak has been my PT for the last few months and I've been able to make incredible progress in that short amount of time

Fantastic experience: The upstairs area for group training & the female only section at Abbotsford is fantastic. It's spacious & well equipped. I enjoy my sessions with young & fun trainers.

Fantastic experience: Everyone is super friendly and approachable. Trainers Kat, Dan, Connor & co have been super helpful with training plans and workouts. Although I have my Cert 2 & 3 in fitness they've helped motivate me with my training, as I had lost motivation. I signed on after the six week challenge and regularly engage their physio David at DG health. Overall great gym and great team behind it. Equipment wise has everything you need and my partner liked the fact there's a female only area.

Fantastic experience: I have been with dukes for so long! I’ve loved my experience there so far. The team are amazing & so welcoming. I also love training in the women’s section of the gym! I have everything I need.

Fantastic experience: I was deciding between dukes and the gym next door. I’m glad I went with dukes. Ticks the box in terms of good variety of equipment, clean etc. but what sets them apart is their customer service and awesome personal trainers (Danny is a champ). They also gave a complementary physio or osteo session which I don’t think they even advertise.

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym, friendly staff and always clean. Been a member for 2 years now and have never had a complaint!

Fantastic experience: Great equipment, awesome staff, very friendly community.

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Melbourne straight up. Great staff as well.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been at Dukes for 3 years now, it’s my favourite gym ever! Not only are the staff friendly and super helpful when you need tips on technique - the community that go there are extremely welcoming. I’d highly recommend for new starters and experienced gym goers.

Fantastic experience: Best gym hands down! Always clean good equipment. Female only weights room. All adidas boxing bags. Dukes is heaven

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff. Good value. Not overrun with people.

Fantastic experience: Great gym for weightlifting. The trainers are lovely and the equipment is always working. No matter what you want to train, it's got everything you need. Highly recommend for beginners and pros alike.

Fantastic experience: Love Dukes Gym. Equipment is top quality and well designed, space is huge and staff are lovely. No complaints.

Fantastic experience: Been plenty of gyms in the past 15 years and dukes has a perfect balance of gym goers to equipment so there’s always something available for your training. Equipment is new and functions good too, highly rate

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training at Dukes for just over a year and have had between 1-3 PT sessions per week for the entirety of that time. The equipment is in great condition, it’s 24/7, and I love the fact that they have a women’s room - I usually use it when the gym is super busy in the main area. I’ve trained with the majority of PTs at Dukes and they’re all incredibly friendly, supportive, and very knowledgeable. I love the regular 6 week challenges and the opportunity to invite friends and family to train with you during that time for free - it’s super motivating. I’d definitely recommend Dukes as a great gym to train at!

Fantastic experience: The best gym I’ve ever been to, such a lovely community where the trainer is always there to help, constantly check in gym progress and nutrition, highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Great gym, really good quality equipment and nice people. I’ve never had to wait for a squat rack, they have so so many. It can get very busy at peak times, rarely have to wait for things but lots of people around.

Fantastic experience: Dukes Gym Abbotsford is an ideal gym to work out. Great facilities and friendly staff motivate your training more. If you're looking for a personal trainer who can help you transform your body and your mindset, Katrina is the one for you. She is knowledgeable, supportive, and motivating, and I have seen amazing results since working with her. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: After years of contemplating a gym membership, I finally pulled the pin a few months ago and signed up for PT with Danny at Dukes Gym. The gym has everything you need and is never over-crowded. Danny is everything you could ask for in a PT, attentive and invested in my development. Definitely recommend Dukes (and Danny) to anyone sitting on the fence.

Fantastic experience: Dukes Abbotsford is one of the best gym I found. Good equipment range, amazing team, not noisy, only people here to work out and get it done. Special mention to Danny my personal trainer. If you need someone that goes beyond the training with you, well you’ve got your man. He will push you to achieve your goals. Keep up the hard work guys

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym! Great equipment and the facilities are also always very clean. Staff are very friendly and supportive as well which makes for an awesome atmosphere! Big shoutout to Katrina, she is an amazing trainer and extremely motivating in helping you achieve your fitness goals. Definitely recommended Dukes Abbotsford!

Fantastic experience: Great gym. Good equipment and enough of it, so you don't really have to wait for others to finish. Danny Jones is a great PT - personable, open to answering any questions, properly understands your needs so you get the best program and knows his stuff. Top notch!

Fantastic experience: Just joined Duke’s 2 weeks ago, and am loving it. Huge space, never have to wait for any machines, women’s only area and great PTs and community of people working there. Make sure you see Connor if you want to work with a fun and personable PT. Would recommend Duke’s for a great vibe.

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym with a great vibe and amazing set of facilities and equipment. Big props to my PT Connor, heaps good motivating guy who always makes ya strive to do great! couldn’t recommend him enough

Fantastic experience: Solid gym, good facilities.

Fantastic experience: Have started back at gym after a very long break. Shainah is the best, so encouraging and pushes me to be my best. Best PT EVER. Thank you Shainah.

Fantastic experience: Our personal trainer Shainah is excellent. With us being older she is really patient & caring, whist also trying to motivate us & push us that bit further. I recommed seeking Shainah's assistance. Cheers Hamish

Fantastic experience: Dukes is amazing - such a good vibe and nice people. Jayden is such a good PT who really knows his stuff and very motivational

Fantastic experience: I love Duke’s, and my trainer, Connor, is a star. Sessions with Connor are always enjoyable; he combines fun and enthusiasm with deep knowledge / expertise. The results are great, and Duke’s is great value.

Fantastic experience:

Fantastic experience: Excellent staff and facilities

Fantastic experience: Really great gym. Good facilities, lovely and knowledgeable trainers. Clean, spacious and machines/equipment kept in good condition. Super affordable too. Would recommend.

Fantastic experience: Unreal gym! Loved being a member. Sadly had to move so no longer a member. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Really enjoy training at Dukes in Abbotsford. Friendly atmosphere, lots of kettlebells and plenty space to train. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Dukes is an awesome gym with fantastic people running the show. The gym caters to all experience levels with quality equipment and professional assistance to match all fitness goals. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Great environment, with very encouraging trainers. Classes keep you motivated to continue with progress. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Great gym! I often come after work at 6pm and never have an issue in utilising equipment, ample room to workout as well as clean and great equipment! Staff are really pleasant and always on hand to help out 10/10. Womens only area is also a massive benefit! However, I have never felt uncomfortable by other members whilst working out in other areas of the gym - just nice to have a quiet workout room :)

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym, Danny is the best PT!

Fantastic experience: Inspiring PT Connor Mccaig, does a great job and really focuses on what you want to achieve then devises a plan to make it happen, providing support and encouragement along the way. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Dukes Gym is a truly inclusive and welcoming environment. I’ve been training with Danny for 6 months now and I keep coming back. Danny is super knowledgeable, caters to injuries and is able to get creative to motivate someone who’s previous gym habit was just incidental exercise. Can’t recommend enough!

Fantastic experience: 10/10 experience. Been with the gym for over a year and have encompassed a very supportive staff members and community.

Fantastic experience: Just echoing what many other members have noted: Dukes Gym in Abbotsford really is a great place to work out and train at. The staff are really friendly and welcoming and the large, multi-level gym has a stack of equipment to suit every members' needs. If you struggle with workout motivation like I do, the semi private personal training classes are 100% a great addition to your membership with daily classes targeting different muscle groups. A big shout out to Stefan who has helped me get my training mojo and confidence back after two years of lockdowns and restrictions!

Fantastic experience: I’ve only been at Dukes for around 6 weeks and I’ve come so far so quickly. Training with Stefan has been a great challenge, one that I absolutely recommend to get amongst. He pushes you but certainly not in any forceful way, just to the limits he knows you can reach. It’s fantastic having that extra motivation to hit your PB’s sooner and with better technique with the guidance of a trainer

Fantastic experience: Dukes Gym Abbotsford is a great place to train. Friendly and welcoming staff, chill atmosphere and a great selection of weights and equipment. Personal training is excellent with great knowledge and expertise across the staff- big shout out to Katrina who has helped immensely with my training regime and overall fitness and strength. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Dukes by far has the best equipment out of any gym in the area, with all the attachments and nicely set out to try and make it not feel cramped. I had one or 2 awkward interactions with staff but I know feel they were off days. Very happy with this place recommend it to people regularly

Fantastic experience: I love the environment at Dukes the coaches there really cater to my needs and help me achieve my goals all at an affordable price

Fantastic experience: Great gym with friendly staff and up to date equipment. Really enjoy my work outs at dukes :)

Fantastic experience: Great gym to train, positive vibe and friendly staffs. Been attending the small group training regularly for the past 2 months and really enjoying it. Stefan is a great coach who knows how to train safely and effectively. Despite having a knee injury I've been making really good progress in my training pain-free. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym, with great equipment and plenty of racks. All the staff are lovely, but especially Katrina, who has been training me for the last three months. After asking what I wanted to focus on, she designed a program, and has led training sessions which have led to the biggest improvements in technique and capacity I’ve ever had.

Fantastic experience: literally the best gym i've ever trained at. the staff are all legends. never have to wait to use equipment. also casual fee is reasonable and they never pressure casuals to join when i bring my mates. too good.

Fantastic experience: The gym floor is brilliant. Female friendly environment on all levels. Staff are hella knowledgeable and friendly. Prices are unbelievably reasonable and it’s never too busy to find a bar. 10/10 will lift again

Fantastic experience: Have been a member of this awesome gym for almost 5 years, initially using the Richmond gym and then Abbotsford once it opened. It is a really welcoming gym; everyone is really helpful and friendly and there are often various challenges running to keep motivation going. The equipment is of a high standard and it is unusual to see anything out of order for longer than a couple of days. The gym is always really clean and well maintained. Dukes really look after their members. During lockdowns there were various initiatives to borrow equipment and an online group training session was also introduced. This then moved into outdoor training as restrictions lifted and finally back into the gym. As someone who has previously not been a fan of group training, this class has been brilliant and I have attended 5 mornings per week since we’ve been back in the gym! Fleur is a fantastic trainer; constantly correcting form, keeping a high level of energy throughout the class and challenging all of us to push ourselves. At 43 years old, due to attending these classes and to Fleur’s experience, I am definitely the strongest and fittest I have been in many years of gym training! Thanks Fleur, Jonno and the team

Fantastic experience: Couldn’t imagine going anywhere else. Very clean, has a large range of new equipment, and very friendly staff that care about your goals. Their morning and evening Small Group Training sessions are very fun but challenging. Definitely worth it. I also have been Personal Training here for 1 year now and I couldn’t recommend their programs more.
