Port Douglas Gym: Opinions

4.5/5 (82 Opinions)
Matias Ale 9 months ago

Fantastic experience: ABIERTO 24HS 365 DIAS AL ANO. Hay staff trabajando solo en una franja horaria durante el dia. Despues, te manejas por vos mismo. Hay banos con duchas dentro para usar. El precio del pase yo creo que esta bien, es acorde. Parking cubierto. Las maquinas y equipamientos estan en muy buen estado. Al ser la unica opcion que hay en Port, no se puede comparar con otro y no te queda opcion que ir ahi si queres entrenar en un gimnasio.

Fantastic experience: Great gym and facility. Terry at the front desk is very friendly and welcoming, just what every gym needs when you make that first step into a new training environment.

Alex Clapp 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Great to have a local option. Casual rates are steep but plenty of multi-pass or regular options if you're staying a while. Drink station wasn't chilled, and the gym was crammed with equipment (and 70% full midday Tuesday!) but it has all the machine and weights you need. Staff were great

Fantastic experience: First time visitor to the gym , I found the staff helpful and friendly . I would suggest picking a time to go as it can get busy .

William Roche 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Came here for a holiday and bought the 7 visit pass. The gym is kept exceptionally clean at all times by the gym owner, Terry, who’s very nice. They have a variety of equipment, a very handy pre workout station, and a great deal of cardio machines. Overall the gym is absolutely perfect with very kind staff, the only thing i would change would be the music selection. 10/10!

Negative experience: Bought a membership for a month for train my fitness and be prepared to my role in a musical. Involves singing while training. Worker came up to me overly familiar and called me a weirdo. Continued to angrily swear at me and then force me to end my membership. Ignorant, aggressive and vulgar behaviour from staff

Fabio Hawkins 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: This is the best personalised service treatment gym you'll find. The owner runs it and does everything around it. Wish state capitals learned from this. There is also a large variety of weight machines to cater for your diversified workout. In fact, I found weight machines that Genesys and AnyTime fitness gym 5 times its size did not have in perth. Get a casual pass if you're a tourist and join right away. It's even better value that bigger cities offerings.

Patrick Sham Yuen 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: While on holidays my wife and I decided to get a 7 day pass to this gym, it did not disappoint with heaps of machines and free weights. The gym is kept in excellent condition and was super clean, all the machines I used were in great working order. I was there mid morning most days and the gym didn't seem to really get busy which was good. Just want to say a big thank you to the lady who served us, she was so friendly and helpful, if you're looking for a good gym with great staff in Port Douglas then this is the place for you.

Fantastic experience: Nice Place für ein ordentliches Work out! Check in war unkomplizert und das Personal sehr freundlich. Ich wolllte nur einen Tagespass. Es wird gleich gefragt und beraten, ab wann sich evt eine Wochenkarte lohnen würde. Also keine Abzocke, danke dafür! Es hat alles an Geräten und Equiment was man bracht. Deshalb war ich auch gleich mehrmals da während dem Uaub :)

Cam Wayland 3 years ago

Positive experience: Medium sized gym popular with locals and visitors. Has pretty much 1 of everything you need pin loaded plus exercise equipment. Staff there 8am to 4pm or you can rent an after hours token to get in. Casual 7 visits for $70 works well

zeroanarchy 3 years ago

Negative experience: Handy gym for general visits. They need to provide disinfection spray to wipe down the equipment. Everyone wipes down surfaces with towels. I wasn't best pleased to get Covid19 4 days after visiting.

Port Douglas Gym

Hello, I am confused by your review, as we have disinfection stations with both antibacterial wet wipe dispensers and disinfectant spray bottles with paper towels for all members to use. These are clearly located on the columns in the centre of the gym. And all members including casual visitors are required to bring and use a towel or hire a towel if they do not have one. We abide by all Covid19 public health directions.

Evangelina Lopez 4 years ago

Negative experience: The girl in the reception was really rude to me, because she thought I’m a backpacker. I don’t know what’s her problem, but she wasn’t nice, she didn’t explain what I wanted to know, and at the end tried to talk in Spanish, very poor Spanish which I couldn’t understand at all, because she said maybe then I ca mmm understand what she was saying Last week, 2 people told me the same. Sad.

Kit Glover 4 years ago

Positive experience: Pretty small space, missing some necessary machines and good bodyweight zone. If another gym opened they'd have a problem with loss of customers for sure

Port Douglas Gym

Hi Kit, obviously we would love to have a bigger space and a bigger gym for more equipment, unfortunately we are limited on space and have no room to expand. Curious to know what necessary machines you would like to see in the gym? - Taylor from Port Douglas Gym

Fantastic experience: And back again, June 2023. Once more many thanks to Terry and his team for this great and happy exercise spot. Good range of equipment, nice busy buzz but never crowded, and always clean (Terry loves vacuuming!) See you next time! Back again, December, as good as ever! Very clean, great equipment, vibe still excellent. Many thanks Terry and Hamish! This is a great gym. Terry and Tanya are great hosts, the pricing is flexible, machines and weights are in plentiful supply and a comprehensive variety and the place has a good “up” buzz. Once signed up (easy process), the 24 hours access is convenient. Look forward to returning in December.

Fantastic experience: This is honestly the perfect small town gym. It literally has every machine you would need for a really good session, and nothing you wouldn’t use. Nice selection of cardio equipment. Clean bathrooms and fun, friendly staff. Well worth a visit.

Seth Bjork-Billings 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Very nice gym. Pricing is a bit more expensive than I'm used to but it is a smaller gym and in a tourist location. Easy to obtain a temporary swipe card to access 24/7 but make sure you come for your first visit during business hours when it's staffed. Lots of new, modern equipment and plenty of workout space. Not too busy either so didn't have to wait for any equipment to become available. Only negative would be a lack of a squat rack or deadlifting platform but there is a smaller squat station and you can improvise a deadlifting space quite easily.

Eggy pop Pop 5 years ago

Positive experience: Lots of equipment

Joanna Young 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Easy to pop in for a casual $20 session while on holidays. Nice and cool inside. Gym had everything I needed, although there was no squat rack - just a smith machine.

They cater for short visits, including daily & 7 visit memberships (no expiry) at reasonable prices.

Vicki Bridge 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: This would be one of the best gym experiences I’ve ever had. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming and gave me assistance with using the machines. I am re-habbing from an ankle injury and they were so positive each time I visited that the whole experience was a highlight of my stay in Port Douglas. My sister, niece and nephew joined me too and also loved it. The gym is very well equipped and immaculately clean. I never felt intimidated and was able to try a number of machines I’d never seen. Their weekly passes are affordable and give the option of an access card so you can visit whenever you wish. Overall an awesome experience and I highly recommend if you’re visiting and want to maintain fitness on holiday.

Elise D 6 years ago

Negative experience: This was one of the worst customer service experiences we had in Australia. We left here extremely disappointed with our experience with this company. The concept of the gym, with it being a 24/7 facility is nice. I purchased two day passes as we are traveling. Unlike most gyms that we have traveled to in the past, this has a very antiquated system and requires that you check in on site prior to receiving the pass during the very limited staff hours . Regardless, I made time after we flew in to walk down there, pay for the pass and leave, with the intention of returning the next morning. As a note at the front desk manager was very nice, but that certainly does not negate what happened after When I arrived the next morning, around 5:30 am, the air conditioning was not working. If you’re not familiar with Port Douglas weather, it is a balmy 90° in the morning outside, take a moment to reflect on what that would mean for a shop on the inside that’s been marinating overnight. It was over 100°. So, I had to leave, unable to work out, due to the unsafe workout conditions. After I left, I emailed them to ask them what was going on. The front desk manager did respond and said that she had resolved the problem and I should be able to return. Ok, not a problem - I understand things happen. On the second day, I make another trip to the facility, to exercise again only to find out yet AGAIN the air conditioning is not working. So I email again, and she says that they’re not able to resolve the problem for what would be approaching TWO WEEKS, which is long after we have left. Again - ok- thing happen - they break. Just refund my money. Thus is where it gets odd. They refused to refund my money ??!! This seems terribly dishonest. The facility was not functional, I made the time to down there not once, twice, but three times ( only to find out it wasn’t functional ) and now you’re telling me you can’t refund my money? That seems like stealing ? I paid for a service you did not provide. They then said I should have come down while they Were open to address this - although we had tour excursions booked during this time ...that seems strange to blame the customer for your facility being broken. They did offer ( knowing full well that I was unable to come in during staff hours to refund me the $20 deposit - resulting in my paying a $40 bill for their lack of air conditioner (???) IF I could come down during hours. ) we opted not to cancel the Great Barrier Reef trip with the family that’s been planned for a year so venture here for a fourth time. Such poor service is inexcusable. As such I had to resort to disputing the charge with my credit card company. I would highly suggest that you save yourself the struggle of dealing with these people. I understand mistakes happen - things break. I do not understand keeping someone’s money when you don’t provide a service because things broke . Seems dishonest.
