Fernwood Fitness

Fantastic experience: Amazing group fitness instructors plus the lovely members, make this such an awesome, welcoming gym. Always clean, good air con and quality gear.

Fantastic experience: I started with Fernwood recently and it has been great. All the staff are very helpful and classes are inclusive for all students.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, I recommend not too busy so can get a good workout whenever

Negative experience: *There is an incentive provided for giving 5 star review*! - gym is pretty small, but that might be all female only gyms unfortunately. Imo an issue when group exercises are held on the shared gym floor, using all the space and a lot of equipment. disturbing when doing something like the low impact group exercises in the rooms but clearly hearing all the loud slams and commotion - it’s not the cleanest bathrooms or floors, at least not what you’d expect for paying that exaggerated premium female only price - pay onboarding fee for what? Getting a pink fob? There’s no active onboarding. You just sign a contract, get an email saying thanks here’s a login - the only saving graces are there’s free parking around the area, and you feel more relaxed around women only. But men are expected to work inside sometimes with no notice - reformer room is cramped with odd mirror choosing. Instructors are lovely but are mostly personal/group trainers rather than formally Pilates trained - underhanded promos - small kitchen space at the entrance

Negative experience: Music is always turned off for some reason; it can be very awkward at times. Even when the music is turned on, it is often very low. They also never switched the fans on; they always seem to be turned off on the gym floor, and it can get really hot when working out. Overall, the gym is spacious and well laid out, and the staff members are super friendly. However, they have the potential to add additional lower body machines, e.g leg curls, calf raises, cable lat pulldowns, cable row machines, etc.

Fantastic experience: A such a great feeling when someone open the door With A Beautiful Smiley Faces and Welcoming Vibes lovely Michelle the new owner is amazing & all the staff are so helpful ,friendly and happy to deliver a wonderful service . #Fantastic Energyvibes ❤️❤️❤️

Fantastic experience: Very welcoming. Big variety of exercise options

Fantastic experience: I started here about 3 months back and have fallen on love with myself all over again. The fact that this is a Women's only gym and most of the instructors here are Mums themselves, means that they understand how to fit fitness into a Mom day routine and it also means I am finally seeing results. The staff here is amazing and friendly and helpful. I am enjoying working out and that means a lot coming from me. This helped me build consistency and also got me eating healthy.

Fantastic experience: Super friendly and helpful staff. Clean environment with lots of support annd offers. Really great classes and instructors!

Fantastic experience: The staff are extremely helpful and knowledgeable and the classes are great Highly recommend

Negative experience: Rude staff, they don't make you feel welcome at all when you're there to enquire about their gym features and any promo etc very rude n rigid people

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love Fernwood gym at North Rocks! For me, it's the little extras that make all the difference. Things like the creche, means that I can bring bub with me, I can grab some precious time to myself whether that's a relaxing yoga session or having fun dancing at Zumba, knowing that my little one is being well looked after. I can even then grab a coffee and some brekkie afterwards! The staff are really friendly and always happy to help. Fernwood is my happy place

Fantastic experience: No better place to go to the gym when you’ve been slacking, Kaz, Michelle and their team are amazing and so supportive!!

Positive experience: Friendly atmosphere and staff! Bathrooms could be cleaned more regularly and the gym could have a more modern look. Management offered me an inventive to write a 5 star review shortly after signing up so other reviews may be inflated.

Negative experience: Reach out to Diana Williams fernwood founder about that Rowena @north rocks not cancelling memberships behind members back, attempted continued theft from bank accounts

Fantastic experience: Very happy with the staff and equipment. Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: Recently joined Fernwood and could not be happier. Such a friendly and comfortable environment with a lot of great class options

Fantastic experience: I’ve been attending the reformer Pilates classes for two months now and I’m already feeling stronger, more energetic, and experiencing less pain from pre-existing injuries. The instructors are attentive and encouraging. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: The team at Fernwood Northrocks are extremely attentive and make the classes a lot of fun. All the facilities and amenities are well catered for. A big thank you to Rowena and her team for delivering a positive experience consistently.

Fantastic experience: The Ladies at Fernwood have always made me feel comfortable since the first day i walked in for tour, especially after been absent from gym environment for a few years. We always share a laugh when the exercise movement are harder then I expected. Rowena is a ball of ENERGY! Loving the Reformer Pilates classes to regain that core strength i have lost since having kids!

Fantastic experience: Fernwood Northrocks has an amazing team and lovely clients. Everyone greets you when you arrive and is helpful and supportive. I joined to try Pilates reformer and on my first session I was helped to learn how to use the machine and stretch by another member and assisted through the whole class by the instructor. Rowena goes out of her way to be helpful and arrange events such as mother day brunch. Can’t recommend fernwood northrocks enough.

Positive experience: Friendly , clean , welcoming gym . With great equipment and reformer classes.

Positive experience: Beautiful and helpful staff, highly experienced, I’m already happy with my progress all though I just join this facility about two weeks. They help you without any judgment, if you’re looking for new ways to reach your goals, this is the place to be.

Fantastic experience: Rowena is a brilliant instructor. If you're new to reformer pilates or thinking of joining, don't hesitate, DO IT. Rowena takes time to explain, teach, guide and correct if needed ensuring a safe, effective workout every time. In just a few weeks I have noticed significant improvement in strength and mobility. Rowena and the team of instructors are passionate and friendly giving a fun, enjoyable and impactful experience. The best decision I've made for my health!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love Fernwood North Rocks. All staff and trainers are lovely and supportive. The gym itself has a great atmosphere and offers so many different forms of exercise to a range of fitness levels. I am personally a huge fan of the Reformer Foundation classes which have already improved my lower back pain. Very impressed and so glad I joined! :)

Fantastic experience: Very kind person

Fantastic experience: Great club, friendly staff. The Pilates reformer room is fantastic and all the instructors are amazing.

Fantastic experience: I have just upgraded my membership at Fernwood to include Fiit30 and Reformer Pilates and so glad I did. I'm loving the reformer classes - great instructors and I feel better already. Thanks Fernwood

Fantastic experience: I’ve been doing the Latino Blast class for 2 years and it’s the highlight of my week! I always look forward to the class and Karina is great at motivating us!

Fantastic experience: Love Karina’s LB class, enjoy the music, the rhythm, the movements, she add the BURN in the middle, which aim at the different muscle groups, which make us stronger to perform a better dance.

Fantastic experience: I recently joined this gym and haven’t looked back. My favourite class is Latino Blast. The instructor, Karina, is so passionate and enthusiastic and it is infectious. We are having so much fun the time goes by so quickly - and already the results are showing. My only criticism is there are not enough Latino Blast classes!

Fantastic experience: Clean gym showers and a relaxing room with Clean bottles of cream, a hair dryer and straightener raises the standard of my gym experience , as I go straight to work after my group exercise routine Thank-you New Management ! Sincerely Giselle D’Souza

Fantastic experience: I am currently a member at Fernwood North Rocks and I absolutely love it!! It suits my needs 100% with the flexibility and I love that it is an all female gym. The owner of the business is incredible and so motivating and I love coming to the gym and working on my fitness to enhance all aspects of my life! Best decision to join.

Fantastic experience: This is my first gym. Experience and i found this is the best gym in sydney and best instructors. They teach you how to strengthen you muscles and make yourself strong. In addition this is only for women

Fantastic experience: Brilliant team to work with. Engagement and motivation is a key to keep kicking the goal

Fantastic experience: The team at Fernwood North Rocks are absolutely fantastic. Even in group classes they give you personal attention, something I’ve never seen in other gyms. They focus on wellbeing rather than just a gym lesson. Cannot recommend them enough. Anu

Fantastic experience: I am a newish member of Fernwood Fitness North Rocks and have absolutely loved being part of such a fun, empowered and kind gym. The instructors are very knowledgeable on women's health and share this with the members while we work out. Fernwood offer a variety of classes or you can work out by yourself and make new friends. What I like most is that the staff, instructors and members are very nice to be around. Members happily wear what they want (it's not a fashion comp for expensive attire), are encouraged to be their personal best and enjoy their time exercising. Everyone is treated with respect and dignity, we all belong and that is an awesome feeling. The instructors are all wonderfully different, each bringing their unique methods, explanations and experience to inspire, encourage and bring out your best. I joined because of the reformer pilates which I love and I have now branched out to enjoy other classes too. If you aren't sure about being part of a gym, I 'd say give it a go. Fernwood Fitness is a great place for women, you'll be so happy you put yourself out there and you'll feel really good about yourself and that you belong to a vibrant fitness community.

Fantastic experience: When I started working from home during lockdown the thing I missed the most was my reformer pilates classes. Thank goodness for the pilates reformer classes at Fernwood North Rocks! I am loving getting back into shape and I love the instructors and the attention and care they give to improving your fitness, health and well-being. Highly recommend reformer pilates at Fernwood North Rocks!

Fantastic experience: Fernwood North Fernwood North Rocks Fantastic ladies Gym. Clean & great classes. I moved away from my previous Gym as I was not only over people not cleaning equipment , mostly the males but I was also over the grunting noises from the men that attended. Now at Fernwood time for me , for my health & my exercise time is now enjoyable. My favourite, Reformed Pilates. These classes have slowly been rebuilding my inside following surgery. I cannot believe the change & the strength I now have after only a few months of commitment to these classes. From absolutely NO CORE muscles to core muscles coming back & strong. Also, the instructors are amazing. Rowena the owner always willing to help clients reach their goals & listens to where your at & what your needs & goals are Recommend , absolutely 100%

Fantastic experience: Love this gym! Lots of classes. Great instructors. Everyone is super helpful, friendly and inspiring

Fantastic experience: Professional friendly staff and trainers who support, guide and mentor each member to be the best version of themselves. Would highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Great convenient location! With the New owners(Rowena) and a makeover not only with the gym but also with the classes on offer thanks to our fun and passionate club manager (Nancy), the ladies at the desk, it truly is a whole package. If you are wanting a welcoming and exciting journey to a better you, here is the place!

Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere with friendly staff and members. Rowena (new owner) has revamped the club with loads more work out/fitness classes. But the best aspect of this gym is Nancy the group fitness manager and instructor!

Fantastic experience: Karina's LB classes creates a enjoyable atmosphere with her engaging and loud enthusiasm, she targets and engages all our muscles all with the fun of her dancing.

Negative experience: If you are looking for a gym that cares about you, DON'T JOIN THIS GYM. This gym doesn't care about anyone, as the new owner has destroyed that friendly, caring club it used to be. The group fitness classes which were awesome are no longer exciting, and they got rid of the best instructors there. Another problem is they keep putting the prices up once you join, and they also start charging for extra classes instead of them being included in your initial contract.

Fantastic experience: Great instructors, inclusive atmosphere. A+!

Fantastic experience: Love love love the group fitness classes! A wide variety of classes with instructors that make it motivating, challenging and fun to work out. Super friendly clean club with awesome staff and members!

Fantastic experience: Its been a few years since I've been back at a gym but started back at Fernwood Nth Rocks in Oct 21 - its been so good - trainers are amazing, super supportive - and I simply love the Pilates Reformer classes, they've given me a new start with a full range of stengthening and toning of the muscles and stabilization exercises helping me to improve my balance and overall body strength - my flexibility is improving daily and I feel amazing - Thanks to all the team at Fernwood Nth Rocks

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love the new improved gym, and participate in the incredible group fitness classes run by Nancy. Nancy is basically the only reason I can enjoy exercising. Her classes are so much fun and really challenge your fitness levels while still being able to have a laugh and meet amazing, like minded people.

Fantastic experience: Everything is amazing and perfect all the stuff and trainers are the best and beautiful ❤️

I have been doing the Reformer Pilates classes for the last 4-6 weeks and absolutely love this workout. The instructors are very focused in helping achieve my goals and makes every session challenging. A big shout out to the wonderful instructors - Catherine, Nancy, Nikita, Rowena and Roz.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of Fernwood North Rocks since 2015 and have been working here for over 3 years.

Not only that, the gym has been completely refurbished and looks brand new!

Since Rowena has taken over, she has put in a lot of love and hard work and the renovations look great. The change has given it an amazing vibe and feels good to be part of their team. Good job ladies!

Fantastic experience: I joined the new reformers pilates program and absolutely love it. The trainers are well qualified with great communication and sense of duty of care.

Fantastic experience: Staff are friendly, helpful and supportive. The place is clean and well facilitated. A great local gym to go to!

Fantastic experience: I have been a Fernwood member for sometime. I really enjoy going to a clean and women's only gym. I was surprised to find the group exercise room decorated for X'mas today. First time ever I've seen this at North Rocks and came as a delight as I was the first to open the door. You have taken that extra effort as you care for the members. Hats off for the new owners. I really enjoy coming to the gym under your ownership and doing my regular group class sessions.

Fantastic experience: I joined Fernwood North Rocks in January 2021 because I was after a fresh, clean and air conditioned gym that had all the weight equipment and fitness classes I loved. From the moment I stepped in to check out the gym, I felt at home. I’ve been a member of many gyms and Fernwood is by far one of the best. I recently upgraded my membership to include reformer pilates and I’ve been able to build my strength quickly even with low impact exercise. Winning! I used to do reformer 2-3 times a week and it would cost an arm and leg. I’m super pleased that the membership at Fernwood is very affordable. Overall, cleanliness, well ventilation and great service is critical for me and I can happily say that Fernwood North Rocks ticks all the boxes. Thanks team

Fantastic experience: Best gym ! Professional instructors. Friendly members. Like all friends working together to get fitter & stronger.

Fantastic experience: Fernwood North Rocks makes exercise fun whilst also working really hard to get the results you want. Great range of classes to choose from and lots of different machinery to choose from to do your own workout. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: The revamp of the studio is great. The instructors are lovely and very experienced

Fantastic experience: As a Senior really enjoy the Tone and Circuit classes prepared for our age group. Have been a member for a number of years simply because Seniors get catered for.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member for years. The gym has changed dramatically for the better since the Rowena took over. Love the new reformer Pilates, and love all the staff members.

Fantastic experience: I love being a member of Fernwood north rocks. The classes are great, the timetable has a good variety of fitness classes for all levels & the instructors are so motivating! The gym has just done a refurb & it looks fantastic!

Fantastic experience: A great gym for a first timer! Nice relaxed vibe with friendly staff always ready to help. Really good range of classes to suit all fitness levels.

Fantastic experience: All the trainers are amazing and very professional. The reception staff are so helpful and friendly. The new owner Rowena is a great PT and rehab coach. I have done some amazing weight lift and all thanks to the trainers.

Fantastic experience: I love my local Fernwood Fitness North Rocks. The staff are friendly and helpful, and greet me by name. The instructors are awesome and surprise me every class with challenging workouts to keep me on my fitness journey. And the members are friendly, encouraging and make me want to keep coming back. A big shout out to Rowena for the recent upgrade to the gym, giving it a fresh new look, and also introducing Reformer Pilates to the timetable (today's class with Rowena was a great upper body workout). Overall a great gym with a supportive community.

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym. Awesome trainers

Fantastic experience: I am fernwood North Rocks long term member turned group fitness instructor and now proudly part of the incredible dedicated team that make up our staff. Wherever your place is at North Rocks, you are surrounded by supportive, positive woman to encourage you towards mental and physical strength. We are community. North Rocks offers all components of fitness for all levels, outstanding fitness instructors and a great group fitness timetable.

Fantastic experience: All the staff are super supportive and encouraging!

Fantastic experience: Initially I didn’t want to write a full review, as I’m an instructor at Fernwood North Rocks and I didn’t want to seem “biased”. But then I thought “maybe it’s useful to know what contractors have to say, not just customers”. So here we go. 1. Are the owners competent in this industry? Check! They know well how the fitness industry works and they are very professional. 2. Do the owners care about the members? Check! They are always around, ask members for their feedback and are happy to answer to any questions the members might have. 3. There’s no dedicated car park, true. Yet, other gyms around the Hills have their dedicated car park and still it’s a nightmare to find a free spot. At least Fernwood North Rocks has a huge car park just at the back thanks to the shopping center; and even the spots on the street are free parking (which is not true for other gyms in Parramatta). Let me add a personal review: I’m a contractor, and when we started the lockdown (June 2021, now it’s September) I lost all my classes in the gyms. The majority of them just sent a random email here and there, to check how we (the instructors) were doing. It’s ok, we were all just waiting… But no, not at Fernwood North Rocks: the owner Rowena and the manager Nancy kept checking on us, actually calling to see how we were doing, LISTENING to the answers too, lol! Instead of just relying on the prerecorded workouts from the head office, they hired us for online classes to keep the members active with their favorite instructors. They went the extra mile, they showed with facts that they care about their members and their staff. They made me feel like an important part of their business and their community despite the loneliness of the pandemic, and for this I will be forever grateful to them. Stop reading other reviews, we both know you don’t need them: get your membership at Fernwood North Rocks today.

Fantastic experience: Always friendly, welcoming and treat you as an individual

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member of Fernwood since Jan of this year and I have to say that it’s the place that I’ve felt the most comfortable of all the gyms I’ve ever joined (and there’s quite a few ). The staff and other members are very nice and that in itself makes the place so much more comfortable to me. I love that even if your not doing PT sessions and only something like their FIIT30 the PT are so motivating and push you to reach your goals. Rowena is awesome and has such an amazing vibe which makes me go to my sessions even when I don’t want to . I’m extremely glad to have found Fernwood North Rocks

Fantastic experience: I've been a member for sometime now. Great gym. Supportive staff and Trainers. Highly recommended...

Fantastic experience: I love the motivating messages we have been receiving during lockdown. Well done

Fantastic experience: North Rocks Fernwood is an awsome fitness club with friendly members, great ambience and a postive welcoming feel. The staff are very friendly and professional. All the instructors are absolutely exceptional and run great classes and know how to keep us all motivated.
