Fantastic experience: Outstanding trainers, programming and atmosphere. No egos to be found! Wonderful community. I feel very lucky to have found this gym! Also incredible crèche, which removes my “mum guilt” during “me time”

Fantastic experience: Stoked as with the place. The workers and trainer’s are great welcoming people. First gym I ever joined and I think I’ll be sticking to this one

Fantastic experience: Such a friendly gym with loads to offer

Fantastic experience: I just joined Freshstart Narrabeen and I am very impressed. I’ve been to many gyms and always start to get bored after a while. Freshstart’s classes are always different and the instructors are always upbeat, friendly and happy to help. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: A fun and easy going environment with trainers who genuinely care about their members and have done everything they can to keep the gym open and support members throughout Covid. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Thank you so much team Freshstart, for acting quick to get the out door training facilities up & running during this lock down. I’m grateful that I can continue my excise routine safely & keep my mental status. I love spending my mornings with you, in all weather conditions. Impressed with the professional approach taken. Well done

Fantastic experience: What a wonderful bunch of professional, open minded and fun fitness gurus! All the instructors bring something super valuable to my fitness training. I was cautious finding a gym that I’d like - inviting, informative, goal setting, good class options and supportive. I certainly found that at the beginning of this year with FreshStart. FreshStart not only have welcoming and knowledgeable staff, but also a great bunch of people to train with!

Fantastic experience: Love love love- this community is just the most inspiring and welcoming group!! Also the super supportive coaches who really make sure you’re setting proper technique foundations, which, as a gym “newbie”, I am also really grateful for. The 8 week challenge has been really rewarding too, seeing progress, reducing % fat and learning lots on the nutrition front. Cannot recommend more highly

Fantastic experience: Great gym.

Fantastic experience: I was down staying at the holiday park across the road and needed a stretch so headed over to Fresh Start for a 1 week membership. Yoga and Pilates were great, especially Yin Yoga which was awesome. Then I noticed the CrossFit part of the gym and tried that out. Coaches Micky and Mitch are amazing and helped me out with the basics and this old rookie is now a CrossFit fan. All in all I couldn't recommend Fresh Start highly enough.

Fantastic experience: Head and shoulders above all other gyms. The amazing trainers are all genuine, friendly and caring. The classes are awesome and there’s heaps of variety. Everyone’s greets you with a smile. I love it.

Fantastic experience: Great Gym. Friendly team and real people. More suited to those who don't want to be part of a 'scene' but feel part of a fitness community. Equipment is kept in good order and is well-spaced.

Fantastic experience: I look forward to going to the gym! Freshstart Fitness provides more than just a great place to workout. It truly is a community and support world for health living. There are many workout options - Group Classes (from High Intensity to Stretch Sessions), Gym Floor, CrossFit, Strength & Conditioning and Personal Training. The patronage is diverse - the gym caters to kids/teens up to the Strong 60+ group. The in-house support from Kelly on 'all things nutrition' is exceptional. All staff are knowledgable, friendly, motivating and supportive. Can't recommend highly enough!

Fantastic experience: Great gym for all levels of training with an awesome atmosphere and sense of community. Weather you are a beginner or someone who’s been training for a long time; someone who likes doing weights, fitness classes or CrossFit, you can do it all here and probably for a better price than any other gyms in the area.

Fantastic experience: Love the gang at Freshstart! I have found my tribe. Everyone is so friendly and the sessions are fun yet challenging. The gym itself has so much space and is SO clean! I love that Freshstart offers strength programs for all levels as well as yoga classes. Kelly is amazing for all things nutrition. Everything you need in one place!

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love everything about Freshstart! The community atmosphere, the amazing trainers, and the great classes. I always leave there feeling amazing. Could not recommend highly enough :)

Fantastic experience: Freshstart is amazing, every time you walk in the door there is always a familiar and smiling face at the desk. And the atmosphere in the gym is just so amazing with all the familiar faces pushing you to your max. The range of classes and the CrossFit is just so intense and has a great atmosphere. But I didn’t realise how much I missed this place until lockdown hit and I missed the intensity. If you haven’t gone to this place go right now!

Fantastic experience: I joined Freshstart in 2019, and they helped me through PT sessions, Nutritionist sessions with Kelly (in-house nutritionist), inbody scans and general support to lose 22kg within 12 months. I am grateful for the help each and every staff member gave me, and continually give me. Each staff member know me personally, and it feels very homely and personal when I arrive and train there. Thank you FSF!!

Fantastic experience: After many gyms & a year off due to injury, i decided to return to freshstart after remembering their great classes. I'm starting slow with just Pilates for now (which is 10/10) and hope to expand into the other classes should my injury allow! All round great vibes & friendly faces, and super affordable too!

Fantastic experience: I have been coming to Freshstart for over 8 years now. I love the family friendly vibe, the variety of classes, the facilities & large gym floor to do your own thing is fabulous. Post covid period they have placed so much attention to detail on hygiene & the place is always immaculately cleaned. I love my freshstart visits & having someone at the front door welcoming you in with a big smile.

Fantastic experience: I've been going to Freshstart Fitness for over 4 years now and can totally recommend them. The staff and trainers are friendly, patient and encouraging. There are lots of classes to choose from and a lot of thought goes into the structure/content of them. You can also do your own thing or work with a personal trainer. There's a good vibe amongst the people working out and everyone has taken to the new way of training (spray and wipe equipment; booking in for classes). Equipment has been updated/upgraded in the time I've been a member and Tim and Kel (the owners) are always looking to improve the gym. There's a strong sense of community with the occasional fundraiser for a worthy cause. The various challenges offered throughout the year (weight loss; building strength; nutritional advice) are also fantastic and round out a truly excellent gym facility.

Fantastic experience: I love the genuine sense of community at Fresh Start! Super professional team of amazing coaches and a gym full of genuinely lovely people who make you feel welcome to get in an give it your all - whatever your fitness level. Over the last few months I have been struggling with an injury and the team have been super amazing checking in with me and Encouraging me along the way. If you are looking for ‘more than just a gym’ then I can’t recommend this place highly enough!

Fantastic experience: I have to say I have tried a number of gyms on and off across the Northern Beaches over the last 15 years and I still continue to stick with FreshStart Fitness! It is has a great community vibe and the quality of training and their care for their members is second to none. I keep coming back week after week currently enjoying the strength and conditioning program and I even have the kids attending classes and loving it as much as I do! Great space to train (amazing sunrises), fun people, excellent class options and awesome support in your health and fitness journey, thank you to all the team at Fresh Start keep doing what you’re doing for all of us!

Fantastic experience: Loving the Yin yoga on Friday with Nancy at Fresh Start Fitness. Come and join in the zen session at 10.15am.

Fantastic experience: Great community gym. Good mix of glasses, encouraging coaches, strongly recommend it.

Fantastic experience: Life & business partners Tim & Kelly have set-up an extensive, well-equipped, bespoke gym, opposite an iconic ocean beach, in Freshstart Fitness. Between the two of them (to ay nothing of a handpicked, tight-knit team of trainers), there isn't much, it seems, they don't know, about health, vigour, vitality, longevity &, crucially, injury-free workout efficacy. All ages and stages are treated with respect & addressed individually. There's important focus on supervision of form & execution. Classes range from challenging CrossFit sessions (in a sister section), to HIIT, Strong 60+, Circuit, Boxing, Barre, Pilates, Full Body, Abs, 'Workhorse', Stretch & Flex, various yoga modalities; even dedicated blocks for fully-functional kids. But, best of all, staff and clientele truly embody a community of warm, friendly likeminded people. It's not a vibe you're especially likely to encounter in corporate chains.

Fantastic experience: Fresh start gym is such a great community. I have learned a lot of new skills and am keen on improving everyday. All the coaches are super great and really care about everyone.

Fantastic experience: Great to get back to the gym today. Tim has changed the layout and it looks good and works well. A great place to workout.

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym that has everything you need plus a lot more. Owners and staff are very experienced and supportive for us older newbies.

Fantastic experience: Knowledgeable staff, motivating workouts and importantly at this time, very clean and hygienic.

Fantastic experience: A great friendly helpful Gym

Fantastic experience: Fabulous community spirit at this gym. All people old, young, new are welcomed. The trainers are exceptional and go far and beyond to help with your fitness goals (and answering crazy questions !) Never any judgement as everyone is on their own fitness journey - I LOVE IT!!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic community in this gym. Just love it .

Fantastic experience: Great gym and friendly staff. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Great gym with friendly staff!

Fantastic experience: I can highly recommend Freshstart Fitness to anyone looking for a gym or group fitness in the Northern Beaches area of Sydney. I did a couple of classes there during a recent visit to the area and I was really impressed. It has a great offering (including 24hr access gym plus an extensive timetable of fitness classes), plus it is clean and well run. The staff are super friendly but also professional & knowledgeable (I did 2 classes with Sophie - she is FANTASTIC). I would absolutely join this gym if I was living in the area.

Fantastic experience: I have been training at Freshstart for over 10 years now. It’s a fantastic place to workout and the personal trainers and CrossFit coaches are highly skilled. Having 4 kids under 4.5 the thing I love most is the Creche - it’s is run by the most caring women and my kids love the toys, drawing and friends they have made. While I enjoy my hour of power most days. For all mums having trouble finding time to exercise this is a great option. I feel comfortable leaving my newborn in the pram with them as well as my bigger kids. I highly recommend checking it out.

Fantastic experience: Love the community and atmosphere. Staffs are always so helpful and when they ask you "hi, how are you?" , they actually listen and always leaves a positive and motivational response. I love it also because all members are supportive no matter what age group. I love how Fresh Start help other communities in need and all their workshops. Thank you Fresh Start.

Fantastic experience: Best gym I have ever belonged to. Amazing staff, amazing members xx

Fantastic experience: This gym is the most welcoming gym I've been too, all the staff members are so nice! It's very functional to get to, since it's right outside the main-road. Overall great gym! Written by Lachlan Breadman

Fantastic experience: Great gym, love the positive environment and the best homemade protein balls! ☺

Fantastic experience: I found myself very curious on how i can improve different aspect of my training, all the staff at Freshstart were very approachable and willing to interact with me. All the staff woke up on the right side of the bench press!

Fantastic experience: Loved the boxing class this morning with the Seniors - great stuff Tim! I'll definitely be back for another work out.

Positive experience: Not only a gym but a community as well. all the staff at Fresh start are always so supportive and welcoming. its such a great atmosphere to be in and i always enjoy going to classes (and getting my butt kicked in training) LOL. I take my 7 month old son, Lincoln with me to the gym's creche everyday and he loves it. he is always well looked after and i wouldn't hesitate recommending Fresh start to all my mummy friends. - Trish + Lincoln

Fantastic experience: Great gym and my daughter loves the crèche with Lynn and Cloe :)

Fantastic experience: Its not just a gym.. its a part of my every day lifestyle! A great family friendly, bright and supportive gym that ticks all the boxes! A great creche, and my favourite Nutritionist who has changed my life for the better! Love it!!

Fantastic experience: Brilliant gym, wonderful staff. I have been going to Freshstart since my kids where babies. And now my son to CrossFit teens. Kelly, Tim and their staff are amazing. We all go through ups and downs and this gym is a wonderful community to keep you on track. Please support a locally owned, private business that cares. well done guys keep up the great work.

Fantastic experience: I love this place it has an awesome community of fantastic members and knowledgeable, friendly trainers. There’s a wide variety of classes to choose from, I especially love the strength and conditioning classes and would be lost without their in-house nutritionist.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic local gym! Great choice of classes, welcoming and encouraging staff, friendly community. A fabulous gym to train independently or to workout with others.

Fantastic experience: I've been a member for 4 years and I just love going there. The Strength & Conditioning classes are awesome - I look forward to each and every session - it's the perfect balance of weights and cardio/conditioning. I am the fittest I've ever been thanks to going to this class 4 times a week. I've also done their 8 week weight loss challenge and kept up with the lessons learnt/good habits acquired after the challenge. Thanks to this I am now down to 18% body fat (I think a drop of 10%!). Having struggled with loving the body i'm in all my life, it is so liberating to be able to finally feel in control - knowing that what i'm doing (which is not a fad or gimmick - it is just hard work and consistency) has and is continuing to pay off in the gym and how i feel outside of the gym. I love the friendly, helpful atmosphere, the people I train with and the guidance I get from everyone that works there. I work full time with two young kids - this gym is my saviour and my non-negotiable. Love it!

Positive experience: Spacious and friendly.

Fantastic experience: Great gym with plenty of equipment and fitness classes to suit all ages.

Fantastic experience: The best all round gym on the Northern Beaches. Best and most friendly, supportive and inclusive Crossfit on the Northern Beaches. great Coaches and staff.

Fantastic experience: Great gym! Very accomodating owner and staff, full range of equipment and nice, roomy layout. Love this place, thank you Tim and company.

Positive experience: lovely staff except for one which gives off a real "i hate men vibe" but other than that everyone is lovely

Fantastic experience: Good gym with great staff!

Fantastic experience: I'm writing this a executive assistant / IT support to my lovely wife Natalie Perrin.... As a member of Fresh Start for over 7 years, I can highly recommend this gym. The genuine friendliness of all the staff from reception, weights and cardio area, crèche, group exercise area and nutrition consultation area is one of the many aspects of what I love about it. There's a warm and welcoming community spirit which breeds positivity amongst members. I love that it is helping me reach my fitness goals and allows me to have a bit of "me time" each day.

Negative experience: Nice gym, good location. Would be better if actually open during opening hours so that it could be used. Otherwise very handy, short walk or ride to beach, coffee shops, etc.

Fantastic experience: Disclaimer "only a bias members opinion" great cross fit box very well looked after great team.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful gym with a great atmosphere - I usually do the Pilates and yoga classes but when I did decide to branch out and try something new and different (like boxing) the trainers and members were very welcoming and supportive! Lovely experience, thank you

Fantastic experience: A fantastic gym with awesome staff and knowledgeable personal trainers. It heaps of space, excellent weights area, heaps of cardio machines, gym classes and functional training / stretch area. It also has a Creche and CrossFit Box. I have been a member since they opened and i love it!

Fantastic experience: This is the gym I go to and it's awesome. It has a fantastic safe community environment with friendly and helpful staff Great range of classes and equipment and the best gym around

Fantastic experience: The staff are always friendly & welcoming! It has everything I need

Fantastic experience: Love the facilities, the staff and the general feel of gym. Has a great community and there is always somewhere who can help. The best part is they actually care about you and what your goals are. would never go anywhere else

Fantastic experience: This gym is awesome!! Great people, Great staff, Great classes. I was a member at fitness first prior to joining and I absolutly hated it! I did a free pass there and one of the trainers wrote me a program for free and helped me with my diet and I lost 12kg. Cant praise this gym enough
