Altona North Training - "ANT"

Fantastic experience: Awesome strength training. Best in the West!

Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend Altona North Training (ANT) enough! This place is truly a gem. As a family-owned gym, it has a welcoming, community feel that larger gyms just can’t match. The small group fitness classes focus on functional, purposeful training that actually improves everyday life, and the expert advice and constant guidance make every session feel personal and motivating. Gabrielle, the owner, is an incredible trainer and genuinely kind person who goes above and beyond—even helping me move house out of the goodness of his heart! ANT also does an amazing job creating community, like their Christmas party with a Brazilian BBQ and a jumping castle for the whole family. It’s these thoughtful, fun touches that make it more than just a gym. It may not be the cheapest option, but it’s absolutely worth every cent for the quality, expertise, and the fantastic, supportive community they provide. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: You feel welcome at ANT. No matter your age or body shape. The trainers take the time to explain the exercises and to make sure you don't hurt yourself. No big screen,or those 30 seconds exercises.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, vibe and support from everyone!

Fantastic experience: The accessory is excellent, it has been the best choice

Fantastic experience: Warm, welcoming, and very clean! Concept 2 Ergs are not caked in dust . Coaches greet you, pay attention in sessions and will correct your form which unfortunately can be rare in other gyms. On top of a no lock in contract, I really like the flexible membership fees. I feel I'm getting great value for money given the number of sessions I attend weekly.

Fantastic experience: Ant is a great family orientated gym. Trainers are fantastic, friendly and assist you in your workouts on your technics while exercising and know what you are cable of and how far you can push yourself. There is never a dull moment. Classes are different every day of the week. Even if you struggle there is no pressure. You go at your own pace. Wonderful and friendly place and you meet new people.

Fantastic experience: I am so glad I found and joined this gym. I love the exercise plan they offer and how well organized they are. The ANT team has been helping me and has been very patient since I started, after so long without doing any training. They also give me the possibility to take my little girls with me, which makes me very happy and is a great support, this was also one of the reasons why I decided to train with ANT. I definitely recommend them .

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to ANT for four years now and I cannot recommend it highly enough. The coaches are abundantly knowledgeable, always attentive, and genuinely wonderful people. They’ve created a very supportive culture based on constant improvement and fun. No matter if you’re just starting on your fitness journey or have been exercising for years, you’ll find Gabe, Miguel, Chelsea, Anh and the members very welcoming. 5 Stars!

Fantastic experience: After a long hiatus I have returned to the place I know has the best trainers in the West! ANT provides a fantastic end to end wellness experience. This is not only a quick 45 minute class, you can join their challenges, they also have a nutritionist, wellness coach, physio and more available. Accountability is key, it is up to you to take advantage of as much or as little as you want but the team at ANT will support you 100% of the time and all the way through. They take the time to get to know you, it is personable, friendly, comfortable, safe, affordable and child friendly. I wouldn't and don't go anywhere else!

Fantastic experience: I joined “ANT” about 4 weeks ago for the 6 week challenge and I can not recommend them more highly. The staff are wonderful and really care for you as an individual. They’re approachable, encouraging and they help you understand and appreciate your needs in the development process. There is also a great community feel that I love about it. I’m so glad I joined.

Fantastic experience: An incredible gym, training sessions are perfect for all levels of fitness, trainers are incredibly helpful and correct form (I found in other gyms this was not so in group classes). The gym is so clean! They are smart trainers - I tried to come back too early from a medical procedure and they encouraged me to see a physiotherapist and be patient (the physio then gave me prehab and I’m now back full swing). There is also an area for kids to sit and watch their parents train which means a lot of us can go more often. Great members too - not at all intimidating and really supportive.

Fantastic experience: Altona North Training - ANT! I needed osteo treatment and happened to stumble across this gym in the process.. All of a sudden I wasn’t just getting osteo care..

Fantastic experience: Best local gym. Gabriel has built a community of amazing people looking to stay active and fit. Big 5 is a big family of like-minded, non-judgmental people who come to enjoy a good workout. All the trainers are caring and push us hard to achieve our goals.

Fantastic experience: I've been working out at Big 5 Altona North for a few weeks now and I really love it. The space and is big and clean, the coaches are friendly and helpful and the classes are varied and fun. Thanks Big 5!

Fantastic experience: We enjoy this gym for a few reasons. The instructors know your capabilities for each movement/exercise and comment if your not meeting that (I like that they keep you accountable). People know each other, know your name & are very sociable, I find other gyms are not like this. The owner Gabriel also holds sociable events that are very popular with the members kids. It also offers nutrition, osteopaths, massage, & Pilates in the same facility. Highly recommend this gym as it caters for all levels of fitness.

Joining BIG 5 AN has been the best thing I have done for myself, thanks BIG 5 team! – Shiv

Fantastic experience: Lovely down to earth gym suitable for everyone! Instructors are extremely friendly. I did a “reset program” with great results and included access to a machine that measures body fat, muscle, etc.

Fantastic experience: Honestly the best gym I have been a member of (and I have tried a lot). It’s like a cross between PT & classes. Great space, great music, trainers that know their stuff (and create the programs), awesome equipment (ie skiErg & free body scanner). In just 5 weeks my fat is down, muscle is up, looking & feeling better! Cardio & weights, bi monthly recipe plans & the owner checks in to regularly to ensure you are getting results. Other members are so welcoming & motivating too

Fantastic experience: I feel great after every session, great coaches and community feeling!

Fantastic experience: This is my 4th week and it's been really great so far! The classes are always high intensity but can be modified and the trainers have all been friendly and easy to ask for help if needed. I was looking for a gym close to home and this one ticks all the boxes - Thanks team :)

Fantastic experience: I am eternally grateful for the support of Big 5. At the beginning of my second pregnancy I was diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes but with the help of training I was able to eliminate it which allowed me to have a very healthy pregnancy. Thank you for always being very kind and concerned. I can't wait to come back

Fantastic experience: A warm, welcome environment from the first moment you join a class, Big 5 Altona North is a great choice for a fitness journey. I really appreciate the attention to technique and the challenging classes, all while making sure you’re having a lot of fun.

Fantastic experience: I was over on holiday for 3 weeks so joined my dad who is a member at Big 5 Fitness. I was warmly welcomed by the friendly trainers and other club members. I loved the group fitness style workouts, they are quick 45minute sessions that challenge and pushed my limits. The workouts were suitable for all levels and the trainers were always on hand to assist and modify the exercise if needed. Overall I had a great experience and if/when I’m back over I will definately be squeezing in a workout here!

Fantastic experience: I've recently started with Big 5 at Altona North and I'm really loving it here. The instructors are warm and supportive and they know just how much to push and encourage me so that at every workout I'm pushing my boundaries bit by bit. As someone who really loves high intensity and strength training, these guys really deliver it. Other than wishing they had more classes on the weekends, I couldn't ask for anything more!

Fantastic experience: Join in January for a challenge, but stayed on for the encouragement & great environment! Was struggling to get into the gym often with a busy lifestyle, but Gab and Katie made it work for our busy life with kids! Which in turn made us commit to self-care weekly and it made the world of difference. Every member I’ve met has been so encouraging & friendly which was exactly what I needed coming back into a gym environment. Such a wide variety of people from different stages in life, it’s got a great community vibe! Fave gym in the West Worth a try, you won’t regret it

Fantastic experience: After having two babies and not having exercised in a few years I needed to get some fitness back into my life. I joined initially on the 28 day challenge and enjoyed the classes so much I became a member. All the trainers worked hard with me to build my strength and fitness back up. It was such a supportive and welcoming environment. I instantly started to see results and got my motivation back to continue my journey. With two small children I was also able to bring them along to the classes when I needed. This flexibility was amazing as I never had an excuse not to show up to a class. I highly recommend Big5 not only for the reasons mentioned above but also the location, Accessibility, class times are all convenient! Love this gym ☺️

Positive experience: Started at big 5 with them knowing I had a bad shoulder and needed to have a more attention and help than just going to a punp class. They worked the program around my injury and I can now say I am stronger and have better movement. Thank you big 5 for getting me back on track

Fantastic experience: Big 5 is not just another gym - its an all-round guidance for all ages and levels of fitness to get you back on track. I highly recommend Big 5 to kickstart & reach your goals in a small group training environment. Thanks heaps to the team at Big 5.

Fantastic experience: I’ve tried multiple other gyms in the area ranging from ‘regular’ gyms through to other HIIT focused ones and none compare to Big5. The trainers are amazing and really care about your weight loss or muscle gain goals. The environment created by the trainers and members takes away fear of being judged as well by being ultra supportive and our own little family.
