Summer Hill Gym

Fantastic experience: Great local gym with down to earth owners - I’m originally a member since 2017 and great to see this is still the same in 2024.

Fantastic experience: Great gym. Quality equipment and friendly staff.

Negative experience: Very poorly run gym that shows its true colours when you try to leave (check other one star reviews as proof this is not an isolated incident) Upon attempting to terminate my ‘weekly’ membership which can only be done via email I was immediately charged a four week termination fee in addition to the two week advance fee already paid. This was claimed to be outlined in terms which were not part of the registration process. Upon complaining the manager called to tell me that he had ‘15 years experience running gyms’ and that he ‘didn’t give a toss’ about my opinion. He then advised if I wanted a refund I should talk to Fair trading. Avoid this sham of a business at all costs and certainly don’t trust them with your credit card.

Fantastic experience: Good gym, friendly staff, great equipment

Fantastic experience: Nice little gym.

Negative experience: I have cancelled my membership 3 months ago and even with numerous emails they continue to charge my account even after telling me they fixed the issue. I am trying to get a refund for the 7 payments they charged me after cancellation but no refunds have been made. Very shady practice.

Negative experience: Way too busy during staffed hours, if you go, go outside normal hours and you can have a good workout. Also beware you cannot wear crocs for hygiene purposes meanwhile there's piss everywhere in the toilets. Get your priorities straight. Also quite expensive. There is also a middle aged personal trainer that looks like a "Karen" who constantly nags you for making noise during your sets, I mean I get it but also it's a gym not a yoga studio. In conclusion: fine, but could be a lot better

Fantastic experience: Summer Hill Gym is the best gym in the inner west for Kettlebell training. Not only does it have the whole range of professional Kettlebells you can also train with Alessandro DeAmicis who is an amazing coach. He has an in depth knowledge of Kettlebell sport, is supportive and encouraging and knows when to challenge you and when to have fun. If you are keen to try it I highly recommend it.

Fantastic experience: i love working out here, the machines are amazing, it decently good condition, there are alwasy clean toilets, staff is super friendly, its like a little community and there is always being updated made. best gym i have ever been to in my life.

Fantastic experience: Summer Hill Gym has two great advantages. It is really friendly and inclusive with great equipment and a really comfortable, working vibe. But secondly I get to train with Alessanndro De Amicis - a really hardworking and very experienced guy to train with. As an older woman, I really appreciate the fact that he encourages me to work as hard as I can, but also doesn't push so hard that I injure myself. Plus we have great laughs. I cannot recommend the gym and Alessanndro highly enough for anyone who is keen to train hard in a friendly, inclusive environment.

Fantastic experience: I've been a member since 2018 and I love the gym, and Ive been training with Alessandro the last six weeks. The guy is an amazing trainer. He's taught me a ton, he's completely transformed my fitness, my conditioning, and he's pushed the intensity of my training to a whole other level. He's also super friendly and great to work with, and he can tell some great stories too!

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym with fantastic equipment and clean facilities, Been a member for 7+ years and these guys know about health, wellness and nutrition. Classes segment recently merged with Feet Up Fitness and as a result will provide an even better experience for its members who choose to take up the Pilate and barre classes. Such a great community vibe and the trainers go above and beyond to make members feel valued.

Fantastic experience: Best gym I’ve been in Sydney , great vibe, awesome energy , classes are superb , top notch equipment

Fantastic experience: I've just started going to the gym for the first time and this place is absolutely perfect for if you want a nice chill place where people are nice, dedicated and helpful when you ask for it. I'd recommend avoiding the times after school where you'll come across rude teenagers that are ego lifting, loud and annoying but otherwise is the perfect gym to go to!

Fantastic experience: a really good gym to workout in, crews are really nice to me even if my english isn’t well so they have to explain twice.

Positive experience: Good range of gym equipment. 24/7 access, which is really great on the late nights on the weekend or the public holidays. Accessible with Fitness Passport which makes it affordable, otherwise I wouldn't go with the high prices. They do compel you to buy a key fob so that you can access the gym outside of staffed hours.

Fantastic experience: This is purely about public service - I needed some help, and they provided it willingly and kindly, even though I not a customer or client. Thank you.

Fantastic experience: Best gym I've ever been in. Very clean, well organised, fair price, some good unique equipment.

Negative experience: Went to the gym and got sick from Richie. Poor hygiene practice. Told me COVID won’t kill me but only the weak like my grandparents. FREEDOM!!

Negative experience: Disappointed. We paid a deposit for two fobs and were told when we got them, we would receive it back. My partner returned them a few weeks ago as we moved out of the area and was again told we would get a refund and to email our bank details. Two emails sent, no response. I just called and the man on the phone told me they don't give refunds, all the other information we'd received was simply incorrect. 'Read the terms and conditions' he said, incorrect information, multiple times, ignored emails. Very unprofessional. EDIT - man I spoke to called back and apologised and has offered a refund, I can see on their website they state they don't give refunds for fobs but I believe that when we got them in 2019 we were told they do, I also reiterated I was disappointed our emails were ignored which was acknowledged. We are receiving a refund and I appreciate this being dealt with. EDIT- two weeks later, have not received a refund despite the above, the manager calling me! all emails and texts were ignored even after the phone call. Why did he call me and say he’d refund but then ignore again? Just weird.

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym with a great community vibe

Fantastic experience: I had a really fun time going there to learn new things. The coaches were very nice and polite.

Fantastic experience: Best gym ever. Great variety

Positive experience: Great gym! Best in local area for sure! I do feel they need more space, the classes they hold in the front gym often blast music meaning its impossible to listen to a podcast, make a call or even speak with reception at times. They need a seperate section just for those classes which would improve the experience for other gym members.

Fantastic experience: Really great gym, and staff. All the gear needed here for any type of workout.

Fantastic experience: Great Unisex Gym. I felt really comfortable as a woman working out there. Loads of equipment, classes and training options. Fabulous staff, super helpful and supportive.

Positive experience: Great equipment, biggest complaint is the loud music. Surely there is a way to turn it down? Especially at night when there's 5 people listening to their own music?

Fantastic experience: Great gym ️‍♂️ Nicely set up

Fantastic experience: I honestly hated going to the gym before I found Summer Hill Gym. The classes here are excellent, with a lot of variety from class to class, and passionate instructors who provide individual support and genuinely want to see you reach your fitness goals. My experience here has been nothing but positive!

Positive experience: Has most of the equipment and variety of classes i need

Negative experience: Nightmare- Keeps overcharging my debit card without refunding any overcharged amounts. Still overcharging my card after I’ve paid the cancellation fee.

Fantastic experience: One of the best equipment over 50 gyms I visited across Sydney and Australia. Vibes and staff are awesome, very caring for the clients and willing to help . some have great sport background and excellent knowledge. Recommended!

Fantastic experience: Love this gym, the new space out the back is fantastic for functional training, loads of equipment and really well run. Nice to support a local business too, more character and space than franchise gyms. Would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Great gym in the off peak periods. Members are from all walks of life so it’s unlikely you will feel intimidated if you’re not a regular gym visitor. Very friendly staff who are willing to help and make improvements. Also welcomes Fitness Passport members (you will need to pay a deposit for the entry fob).

Fantastic experience: Best gym I've been too. Friendly and encouraging, really welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend. Michelle was my PT and she made each session challenging but always fun.

Fantastic experience: Staff are lovely and the gym is always in good condition. I love that I can access the gym any time of day!

Fantastic experience: Small and nice gym. The owner and staffs are very friendly and caring. When I move to another suburb, got another gym nearby, but missed this gym so much and back to there.I got injury for my arm last year and gave up to go there, but I had another operation and recovering now, thinking to get back to the gym soon, seriously.

Fantastic experience: Excellent local gym - my husband and I have been going here since 2011. Great equipment and 24/7 access is so handy for us. Great atmosphere, community vibe and friendly staff. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: My partner and I used to live in summer hill and we both signed up to the gym. Loved the classes they were very intimate and the instructors were very lovely and motivating.

Fantastic experience: Amazing place, great atmosphere, awesome range of equipment. The staff is always keen to help and instruct. Been a member for years and extremely recommend.

Fantastic experience: Great little gym, very user friendly for people of all ages and body shapes. They are open 24 hours, and also run yoga and Pilates classes.

Negative experience: Machines are always out of order. Peak time no machines available. Weight area is tiny and not more than 3 people can train at one time. Crammed up and over crowded. Saving money but wasting heaps of time and motivation. Not worth it. Training for the past 2 years, after 4 months of joining this gym, lost quite a lot of motivation, and now saying bye bye for good.

Fantastic experience: Summer Hill Gym just keeps getting better! I've met Richard (the owner), and you can see he really cares about the members. He's friendly and looking to constantly improve the gym environment. The recent expansion and renovations are an added bonus

Fantastic experience: This place is very popular, so expect to see a lot of people in the mornings and afternoons. Their weight and machines are new, advanced and in great condition.

Negative experience: Very small and very cramped. They also have what appears to be no contract memberships however when you leave they charge you a cancelation fee??? Would look elsewhere.

Positive experience: Clean and clear place, not big but still do its job really well...

Fantastic experience: Excelente !

Fantastic experience: Good gym with great classes as well!

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff, open 24 hours, good range of machines and never too busy. Comparatively cheap as well.

Positive experience: If I miss alllll the classes during the week, I'll have to, HaVE TO make it to Lindsay's HIIT class on Sat 7:45 am. It's too good to be missed .

Fantastic experience: Great local gym with really caring staff. You are never just a number here.
