The Well

Fantastic experience: A fabulous gym, with a big array of quality weightlifting and workout machines ,and free weights to target every muscle in your body. Excellent pilates teachers and schedule. The staff are lovely and the place is always spotless with additional extras such as towels, ghds in the bathroom and fresh scented shower gels, shampoo and conditioners. It's airy and bright with a large central skylight. The upstairs view to the ocean is an added bonus.

Negative experience: Extremely busy. You'll spend twice as long at the gym because you spend half your time waiting for machines. They run multiple personal training classes that restrict access to parts/equipment of the already small gym. Plus, management requires the longest cancellation notice I've experienced at any gym. The only positive aspect is the friendly staff.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to The Wellness , and it’s been a fantastic experience so far! The gym has great facilities and a positive atmosphere, but honestly, the best part is the amazing energy of the receptionist, Kirstin. She’s always welcoming, friendly, and makes you feel right at home from the moment you walk in. Her enthusiasm is contagious, and it adds that extra motivation to every visit. If you’re looking for a gym where you feel truly welcomed, The Wellness is the place to be!

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Bondi with the superstar Nick behind reception.

Fantastic experience: The best gym! Always clean, great equipment and super friendly staff!

Negative experience: SIGNED AGREEMENT Extremely poor customer service (Priscila) and zero flexibility from management (Nick)! I signed up with this gym for a 3-month unlimited Pilates plan in Aug’23, the 3-month plan ended in Nov’23. Upon trying to cancel this in May’24 I was told I am required to continue paying the unlimited Pilates ($70 a week) for 4 weeks. There was no flexibility whatsoever on this approach because this is on my “signed agreement” even though it’s been 6 months since my 3-month plan ended. I even asked if I could change it to a cheaper “plan” (once a week Pilates class) and the staff advised that if I want to swap plans I need to signed up for a new 3-month plan! First time I’ve experienced this without being on a 3, 6 or 12 month ongoing plan with a gym!

Fantastic experience: Been going here for 2+ years. Friendly/helpful staff (shoutout Sophia), good variety of up-to-date equipment, super clean space, all across the street from the beach.

Fantastic experience: I've been searching for a good gym around Bondi for months and The Well was undoubtedly top choice. Never too busy, open space breathable air, plenty of plants and sunlight, and no awkward people. The staff is super friendly and supportive, and facilities are well kept. My all-time favourite gym! Nick is also great

Negative experience: Mid staff (except for 1 or two who are super nice and friendly -wendy one of them), (personal opinion) not a fan of infrared sauna, not a fan of 4 - 5 weeks notice period of my gym (just had to relocate asap but hey, I’ll still be paying like 70 bucks (gym and sauna) every week even though I can’t use it cz “policy” biyotch. Good equipment - only a little busy would make you roam around like a headless chicken because it’s small af. Great locker room and showers 2 stars just for that.

Fantastic experience: Been to Sydney 6 months ago, first time I trained at the well bondi, I literally found a beautiful vibe and amazing ppl here! I really recommend this gym. Thank you guys

Fantastic experience: Relatively small gym, but well equipped with Rogue and Concept2 equipment. Has power racks and benches for proper lifting. Nice atmosphere. The absolute best aspect though is that they have reasonably priced short term passes with no fuss. In a few minutes I was good to go on a seven day pass. Given the excellent central location, if you’re staying at Bondi for a while this is a no-brainer.

Fantastic experience: best gym in Bondi !

Fantastic experience: Beautiful gym with great machines. Love working out here

Fantastic experience: Great gym! It has everything I need for a complete training session. Good equipment and in great conditions! Spotless amenities and recovery area. Everything in one place, with views to Bondi Beach, to go straight for a swim after a good gym session.

Fantastic experience: The Well is a great spot right on Bondi Beach. I came in last second right before the Christmas holiday and they set me up for a couple of days to train there. Front desk staff was extremely nice and accommodating, I went in early mornings and it was never too crowded and was able to get all my training in which can be difficult when looking for a place to do Olympic lifts. Highly recommend anyone staying near Bondi Beach to check out The Well.

Fantastic experience: Came to Bondi for a few weeks. Staff were super super nice. I chose a weekly subscription and renewed, app was easy to use could easily find a spot almost everyday, reformers are nice, instructors friendly, what a great, hassle free and fun way to do pliates while traveling

Fantastic experience: Been at this gym for 3 months now- great and new equipment, love the nature and plants inside, complimentary towel service is on point and really enjoying the new additions with the sauna and ice baths. My wellbeing complete! Most of all I can use a machine when I need it... the main reason I left my old gym. 100% recommend.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, modern and uptodate equipment. All the weights you’d expect, as well as compression boots and massage guns. Flexible memberships, just in town for a week and the only place that catered for that.

Fantastic experience: Feel amazing after using the sauna and ice bath. Such a good experience.

Fantastic experience: Great spot and staff are super friendly… love the new sauna and ice bath ☺️

Fantastic experience: Amazing pilates instructors and great service from Emma and the team. I joined on a ten pack and now do 3 classes a week and I am stronger leaner and my osteo is very happy with my rehab. I've had chemo and rads plus a motorbike accident so there is a lot of rehab - the instructors at the Well know how to adapt and know how to push you. Love it.

Fantastic experience: Great space, lovely teachers and plenty of pilates classes to choose from!

Fantastic experience: I have been going to this gym since November and I love it!!!! The machines and equipment are in excellent conditions, and the staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. What I love the most is its stunning location, the gym offers an amazing view of Bondi Beach. I highly recommend this gym to anyone looking for a top quality gym with a great vibe and unbeatable location.

Fantastic experience: Tori is the best personal trainer out there!!!!

Fantastic experience: This is a fantastic gym!! I love the environment, the place and I always feel I am in a spa. The front desk girls are always receiving us with a smile and a positive energy. it has been few months since I became a member and I love it, its a great vibe. Equipments are new and great, gym is always clean and organised. Best choice I’ve made training at The Well.. highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: The Well is great . Aesthetic and great atmosphere . Super kind people and team / staff. Lots of light too. If you try the Pilates classes be warned it will burn but you’ll like it !

Positive experience: Short hours, Especially on the weekend.

Fantastic experience: The Well is a fantastic gym ~ the reformer classes are always fun, challenging and creative. No two classes have been the same and the instructors are always bright and happy. The staff are very sweet and it’s always tidy. I love patting the pups parked on the way in. 10/10 recommend

Positive experience: A very different kind of health club compared to others. I personally like the blend of natural elements such as the plants, sun roof and windows that can let the breeze in from the ocean. The equipments are in good condition with a mix of everything from cable to pin loaded to free weights. There's enough space for people to move around. The staff are friendly and helpful and very keen to keep the club in order. There are other classes such as Pilates available. Price reasonable.

Fantastic experience: Amazing Gym, the space is clean and bright, very complete equipment, super nice staff, friendly members, the sauna is the cherry on top of the cake. Definitely recommend.

Negative experience: Terribly tiny gym. Peak hour is absurd. Laughable CEO told me to expect to book 10-14 days ahead for sauna use despite $70 per week membership. Go elsewhere.

Negative experience: Very bad experienced, over charged as a result of complex cancellation requirement and had to pay for the gym while not in the country. Do not sign up!!

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym, i love the staff energy and the great range of equipment. The view is just outstanding :)

Fantastic experience: Such a warm reception every time I enter this gym. Everyone from the front desk, to the trainers and coaches are so welcoming and approachable. When I first moved to Bondi, I tried quite a few gyms around the area but this one really offered everything I was after; well maintained gym equipment, a variety of group classes (the reformer Pilates classes are my favourite as the instructors are patient, knowledgeable and able to push you when you need it) and a location that is literally across the road from the beach for those end of session dips. They have plenty of other services and facilities E.G sauna, physio, nutritionist that I am yet to try, but glad the options are there! Highly recommend this gym.

Fantastic experience: Such a beautiful gym! The staff and trainers are all so incredibly friendly, helpful and welcoming. Love training here.

Negative experience: I have recently joined the gym. Gym announced it's working hours on holidays, and they don't follow their own schedule. It is closed second day in a row when it is supposed to be open according the schedule. I have not received any messages either.

Fantastic experience: Great gym

Fantastic experience: Great nutritionist Dani. I really feel like my body is now a temple.

Fantastic experience: Dani is an amazing naturopath. Helped me through some health issues that other professionals couldn’t solve. Thank you Dani!!

Fantastic experience: Love working out here!! Best gym in Bondi!! Love going to the gym and straight to the beach! The staff here is amazing as well and super friendly! Specially Mikaela! She is the best one!! She was the one who showed and convinced me to sign in! Thank you guys keep up the good work !:)

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym, all newly renovated and very lovely staff!

Fantastic experience: I’ve just become a member and couldn’t be happier. No pressure, not showy like other Bondi Gyms and everyone is so friendly. For someone trying to shed the Covid Kgs it’s perfect.

Fantastic experience: I love The Well so much - the space is so clean and beautiful with so much natural light. The young women who work behind the desk are friendly and helpful. I always love seeing Mikaela behind the desk, she treats everyone so kindly. The gym is much less busy than others in the area, I never really have to wait for a machine, and I never feel uncomfortable in any way. The steam room is such a nice bonus benefit and the locker room/showers have the best of the best - Dyson and GHD. Location is also great - during the summer you can easily workout and hop right into the ocean. I haven't taken a class yet as I'm happy with just using the gym, but I've heard great things about their pilates.

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Bondi! Clean and full equipment. Nice staff and customers. 100% recommended

Fantastic experience: The sauna and all amenities are next level. I love it here.

Fantastic experience: The Well is the perfect place to train your body and mind. That kind of Fitness Centre that takes care of every single detail, in the middle of Bondi Beach. The most profesional staff at your disposition waiting to help you in any enquire you may have. I definitely recommend it.

Fantastic experience: The Well is an amazing place to come work out. The teachers are caring, energetic individuals who personalize each class to ensure you get a great burn in. You see the results from it too! Love coming here

Fantastic experience: Great teachers snd classes, clean and professional

Fantastic experience: Great place to feel good about yourself and your body ☺️❤️P.S. Mikaela rocks

Fantastic experience: Love coming to The Well. Always super clean, professional and friendly staff at the front desk, and interesting dynamic classes. I'd like to call out a couple of people specifically for just being amazing people and employees. Alix is my favourite Pilates instructor and such a lovely person. She knows how to hype you up and keeps things fun and exciting. Holly is also fantastic and always encouraging. Lastly, Mikaela and Liv at the front desk are the most helpful and lovely girls. I come to The Well almost every day and a huge part of it is due to these amazing people :) Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I love training at the Welll! It’s one of the cleanest Gyms in Bondi, all equipment is new and advanced and the space has a luxury feel to it. Aside from that, it offers a great variety of classes.. I do Reformer Pilates at the Well every week - all the instructors are great!

Fantastic experience: From the very first interaction when I walked through the door I was really impressed by Mikaela's warmth and professionalism. From the get go and every time since she is always on the ball going that extra mile. I have also really enjoyed both Clay and Radley's classes. They are fun, challenging and always a bit of a laugh. On a final note, the space created by the refurbish, in particular for free-weights was a great addition. The view is also second to none and makes it a little easier to make it into the gym on those hard to get going days.

Fantastic experience: The staff are really friendly and can answer all your questions, the gyms got most to all the equipment you’d need for a workout. A very nice place.

Negative experience: This is my first ever review because as someone who had a background in hospitality from 16 to 23 before starting my career I generally can't think of anything I can't look past as I understand how hard it can be to deal with customers or how bad days can affect how a customer may view us.. saying that, I am shocked at the badly this place treats "its clients/Customers".. My partner booked me in for some on going appointment here which I had to stop after the first one. The session itself was extremely unprofessional. I shared this with my partner who then told me the emails to create this appointment was so complicated and the lady kept moving the appointmens without first asking and at one point canceled. so it took months to finally get in. When my partner tried to raise these issues, the way she was treated escalated the situation to a very unnecessary point. She simply wanted to let the front desk have some feed back with the emails sent to us and that was it. she was instead told that this issue would be given to the CEO and to forward these emails. again she never asked for this. Weeks went by and when she checked in about the feedback she gave she would be lied to or ignored. We later found this out because a newer front desk person accidentally told her that the email she sent was put into an archive folder and nothing had been sent to the CEO. ( we have proof because my partner decided to record this due to how ridiculous this simple situation had gotten as she couldn't believe this was actually happening). We then spoke to the initial staff member Mikayla ( the one who offered to raise this to the CEO) who then rolled her eyes and finally email "the CEO". ( again we never even asked for this and most people would have just accepted the feedback and left it instead of offering to involve a CEO and then ignoring my partners email by placing it into archive and lying about it). The CEO TODD Howard of course after making sure we knew he had over 100 successful business, and sending pictures of a new born to excuse why we were dragged through all off this for weeks without an apology instead sent the most abusive email to my partner after she explained the lying that was occurring and recordings she had. ( She has this email saved). There are plenty of gyms and health services around Bondi so I wouldn't waste your time here. As you can see from their previous reviews the food isn't great either. The behaviour of the CEO makes me eager to ask my dads company to Audit Todd Howard because there is something fishy about an organisation with this level of disorganisation and horrible service.

Fantastic experience: Friendly, professional staff. Light, airy and well designed spaces. Spacious change rooms and quality hairdryers!

Fantastic experience: Great facility but what really makes this place is the staff. The lovely girl at reception is so accommodating and attentive to my wife and I needs.

Fantastic experience: The Well is the best gym in Bondi. It’s got great range of equipment, very clean and the best aspect is the people. There is a community aspect about it, from the staff to trainers and other members. Classes are small and teachers really focus on you. And there is a wide range from Pilates reformer to boxing and hit. Special shout out to Clay, Isabelle and Mikaela for their great sense of humour and making this a great place to train!

Fantastic experience: Such amazing strength classes and reformer Pilates. All the instructors are highly knowledgeable and professional. Always a good vibe in here!

Fantastic experience: I have a Pilates membership at The Well and love it. The instructors are well trained and friendly and the classes are small, so I feel supported and confident I’m learning good technique. The whole gym is sparkling clean and even has an ocean view I also love the steam room which I will enjoy again when it reopens after covid.

Fantastic experience: Awesome staff! Clean and tidy. It’s got a good crowd of people training there and a great timetable of classes. I get to do Pilates and build good core strength and tone up with gym classes. I’ve lost 16kg’s in 4 months! The best shape I’ve been since I became a dad of two little ones. Thanks to the Well team!

Fantastic experience: Amazing Gym ❤️

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym, the equipment is very new, there's lots of natural light, the front desk staff is very helpful, and the locker room is very clean

Fantastic experience: Great gym, friendly staff and good gym equipment. Overall good facilities!

Fantastic experience: I LOVE going to the gym here at The Well. Staff are always so bright and friendly. Great variety of high end Technogym equipment. With a view of Bondi beach, I cannot think of anywhere else I would rather work out.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful luxe wellness space, Great vibe. Variety of classes. LOVE all the highly trained Reformer Pilates instructors and group fitness instructors. classes are very creative, fun and motivating. Wonderful therapies for rehab and healing. Would very much recommend. Coffee & smoothies are devine!

Fantastic experience: I'm so glad I've joined this gym. I've been a member at Virgin Active and Fitness First for years and I have to say that the best by far is The Well. The interactions with the staff and members creates an environment where it feels like everyones family or friends. I admit I'm still getting used to just random people smiling or saying hello . One of the other major benefits is that I've rarely seen it at full capacity and so I never have to wait for any of the equipment. Others are nice clean toilets, amazing coffee, good range of free weights and it's perfectly located by the beach. Classes I haven't tried yet but keen to give them a go once it's in my training plan. From what I can see they do look great. Thanks so much The Well, especially Dani and Mik. You both always make my day that little bit brighter ❤️

Positive experience: Thank you for a wonderful pilates class Isabelle. It has been a while since I have felt supported and your encouragement really helped.

Negative experience: Ordered a chai latte here and it was completely tasteless :( Service was bad and impatient.

Negative experience: I came here this morning for fried eggs and toast and after waiting for 30 minutes we got nothing. The boy behind the counter was rude and unapologetic. They don't offer any bread other than seeded sour dough and wholemeal sourdough. This just seems to be a really snobby place with no care for customer service or reputation. Thankfully we received a refund but that was the only positive thing. Didn't even offer table water.

Fantastic experience: The coffee and food is amazing: the best salad I have had on Bondi with many other delicious items to try. I had the Broccoli salad with Kale for breakfast. They have comfy seating close to the door. The gym and other services also look great but I didn't try them. Five stars based on the food and atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: Great location with tasty, guilt-free food. Highly recommend to those in the area

Fantastic experience: Great location and atmosphere, great food, great coffee and super friendly staff.

Fantastic experience: Went here on the weekend. Pretty busy, but very nice service from smiley staff. The manager (Asian dude) was cool, checked on us a couple times. Food was really nice, paleo smoothie was great - not sweet but really healthy. I will be back next weekend. good coffee too

Negative experience: Very disappointing... Lovely aesthetics, terrible service and bland food, nice enough coffee. They had ran out of sweet potato pancakes ($17), which was of no real issue and not reflected in my rating, but the avocado on toast with halloumi was $18 and very plain/tasteless and not filling in the slightest. The coffee tasted nice, no skill in presentation though. Took >30 minutes and asking twice to get the $10 smoothie we paid for at the same time as the coffee and food, which we ended up asking for in a take-away cup so we could move on, only to be handed it with no straw and filled passed the rim so we couldn't even take the lid off to drink it - the waitress on her break next to us asked the server to get a straw to which the other replied, "We've ran out." and then walked off; no apology. We had to source one from another cafe ourselves to drink it, which, again, was bland and underwhelming - not worth the wait or money in the slightest. If we didn't laugh, we'd cry. Very poor, will not be back.

Positive experience: Convenient, spotlessly clean & well serviced. Well prepared food & drinks. All's well that ends well.

Fantastic experience: Really friendly and helpful staff, great food, modern changing rooms, showers, steam room etc. Probably the best gym I've been to.

Negative experience: Terrible coffee rude staff

Fantastic experience: Amazing facilities and staff. Great job!

Positive experience: Nice looking place on the beach with a gym attached. Smoothie was delicious despite massively overpriced.

Positive experience: Amazing place to have breakfast. I wasn’t highly satisfied wit my breakfast that I ordered, but it’s such a cute spot. Smoothies were delish! Great idea for a place in such a good area. Had a gym, locker room, blow dryers and straighteners in the bathroom area.

Positive experience: The food was delicious! Service was a bit of a hit and miss. Though I cant wait to try everything on the menu. Beetroot latte was a highlight as well as fritters!

Negative experience: Came here for breakfast and to take some work calls, but leaving pretty dissatisfied. Coffee was quite average, spilled over the plate. The breakfast burrito tasteless and I got a WiFi voucher for only 45 min.

Negative experience: Chaotic. Ordered food then waited 40 minutes to find out they'd lost our order.

Fantastic experience: Great-looking gym and with some fab classes on. The community acupuncture is truly excellent! The cafe looks great, classy, only open til 3pm but serves a delicious array of food, and reasonably priced considering the excellent location. Service was friendly and knowledgable (try the 63-degree-C poached eggs). The hot chocolate is incredible, pretty sugary, but super chocolatey.

Fantastic experience: Amazing coffee! Friendly service.

Negative experience: Plane food overpriced Slow service . Good for a quick meal but nothing special

Fantastic experience: 노동절이라고 GST 15% 나 붙은것만 빼면 너무 맛있었어요. 웰빙 음식이면서도 괜찮은 퓨젼스타일!

Positive experience: the place looks good - food is overpriced for what it is.

Positive experience: A bit pricey but really good looking

Fantastic experience: Food was amazing service was exceptional and a calming and nice environment

Fantastic experience: Excellent range / choice of gf dishes plus as good a range of gf cakes that I've seem anywhere in Sydney. Well done.

Fantastic experience: Amazing timely service, the table waiting was always done with a smile. The food has a homemade feel and very well crafted. The vegan carbonara is a definite must!

Negative experience: Wish I could give 0 star. First and last time. Food took forever to come -45 mins!-. I ordered a chicken salad with quinoa in it, couldn’t find any quinoa in it unfortunately... Half of our order never came, noodles in the broth were not cooked... I mean I’ve been to pretty bad places before but this one is quite up there. Would not recommend it at all.

Positive experience: A bit of a total really everyone to Cool ....

Fantastic experience: Great health food joint! I'm not celiac, in fact I didn't know the bread was gluten free butit was fantastic...

Fantastic experience: Great service

Fantastic experience: Very friendly staff and good coffee

Negative experience: I found it to be a really overpriced drop in class for such an average session. You could hear the gym music the whole time of our class and while it was yin it was boring and basic - and I love yin yoga. I wouldn’t go again for such a high price even though the space and cafe are wonderful

Negative experience: Arrived at 3.30pm for food and coffee. Was told they closed at 3.00. I noted that google had them open until 5. They told me fairly bluntly that that was the gym hours. In that case why does it not say 9pm during the week?

Positive experience: Amazing food
