Club Lime Braddon

Negative experience: It's unbelievable! This gym has been operating without a water fountain for months. Members are forced to use hot water from the toilet sink to try and stay refreshed and hydrated. This is absolutely unacceptable—zero management, zero customer care!

Fantastic experience: Big gym for the middle of the city!

Fantastic experience: Nice and clean gym in the center of canberra.

Fantastic experience: Woow very nice gym

Fantastic experience: Work out here 5-6 days a week. Great gym . Updated my review from 3 to 5 stars , it seems the annoying alarm going off problem has been resolved

Fantastic experience: Not sure what all the reviews are about complaining about equipment. I dropped in here and there's 8 squat racks, more bench presses, DBs up to 50kg, all the usual machines you'd need for a strength athlete. Highly recommended. No chalk though, so BYO if you need it.

Positive experience: Nice clean and big new gym in Braddon to take the pressure off the ANU gym. Just not sure why they've not built any space for people to get changed. Not even a bench in the bathrooms to rest your stuff, nor any tables or benches in front of the lockers (byo lock).

Positive experience: Good equipment however the desk seems to be rarely staffed even during daytime hours. There's also no dry area to get changed in as changerooms = shower area so good luck not getting your socks wet

Negative experience: Do not go if you plan on cancelling your membership, they will continue to change you huge amounts after cancelling. Absolute scammers.

Positive experience: After the gym first opened I went here for the first time and wasn’t particularly impressed. I came back the other day and it has improved, I enjoy working out here. Isn’t busy at all from the times I have been here, and the equipment is looked after well. It’s greatly spaced and the atmosphere is nice. There isn’t any unique machines that you could find at some gyms, but it still has everything you need to workout. Furthermore the lighting is pretty great and its location is convenient for a lot of people, myself included. I will find myself coming back here in the future, it’s a great local gym.

Fantastic experience: Has some room to grow still, but a nice local gym. 07/09/2024 update: The place is slowly getting more equipment, hoping they will get similar to cisacs amount. :)

Negative experience: Very angry man at the front desk

Positive experience: Be aware that everyone walking down one of canberras busiest streets will be able to see you exercising. Not my cup of tea at all - its not hard to foresee that being an issue and identifying a resolution

Positive experience: Swimming school: Kids instructors are different every week. And there are no different skill kids are learning they been practising 3,4 skills since last 5 months. I ll not recommend it unless your kids already know basic skills

Fantastic experience: Great gym, nice and clean with lovely staff

Negative experience: This tiny gym is gross! Don’t waste your time,. It fits about three people max.

Fantastic experience: Leanne from Club Lime Braddon has been amazing! She has resolved a number of membership issues for us when other staff were not able to do so. My partner and I are living between two cities and moving has meant lots of restarts and putting memberships on hold. Leanne has been the only one who has successfully resolved each glitch, with ease and respect. Could not recommend this fine manager any higher than 10/10! Thank you Leanne

Negative experience: Needs new equipment current ones really old.

Negative experience: Braddins my regular gym and I’ve been using it for over 2 years. The selection of equipment isn’t to bad but at peak times don’t even bother. The main issue is that the staff are lazy. They don’t enforce basic hygiene like using towels and they don’t tidy up. I’ve lost track of the amount of times I’ve walked in and found the gym trashed and the staff member sitting in the office on their phone.

Positive experience: Missing the weight room and significantly smaller than the other club limes at similar pricing. It’s not 24 hrs either.

Fantastic experience: No Squadding / Deadlifting, which is a shame. But great serene vibes and no annoying music/speaker, which is AWESOME!

Negative experience: Limited equipment, been gutted of any useful equipment. Token gym almost the same as those generic hotel gyms. Worse is the lack of communication from owners to members regarding any update on a new gym opening. Staff never have information relating to this either. Poor experience. Edit: Why do I have to contact you for information relating to changes that have occurred since my purchase of membership? The onus is on club lime to keep us updated and informed as to changes, proposed changes and/or reasonable timelines as to when they will be implemented. Last update was last year, for early 2023 move - incommunicado since...

Negative experience: No squat rack(?) never been to a gym without a squat rack. Very small and congested.

Negative experience: I attend this gym as is the closest to my work, however, it's like going back in time. The maintenance on the equipment is average, the vibe is poor and the whole place just doesn't represent the standard I associate with the Club Lime brand.

Negative experience: Used to be 24-hour access with lots of equipment and space for a small area. Now access is limited, they got rid of more than half of the equipment and closed an entire section of the gym. This location charges the same as most other clubs and has less facilities than the Express locations which are about $5 cheaper a week. Disappointed!

Negative experience: No longer 24 hours, reduced in size, squat racks removed. Gym consistently reducing offering.

Negative experience: So disappointed where are all the squat racks??? What kind of gym has no barbells and weights? Been here before and had no idea they'd suddenly removed everything. So frustrated, ruined the workout

Positive experience: They recently removed a large section of the gym so it is now significantly smaller, they also removed all squat racks so there is only one barbell in the gym and that is for the bench press. Also by removing that section they now have less benches, less cardio machines, less "functional training equipment" and less dumbbells. Still a decent gym just has significantly less room and equipment now

Positive experience: Great location, lots off equipment.. gets a bit busy certain hrs..

Negative experience: In Canberra for a week. Was told they'd organise temp membership. Never received call or email. Useless. Do yourself a favour. Travel 300m down the road to Fitness First in city. Fantastic gym. Staffed more hours by people actually able to get you in the door and working out.

Negative experience: Great gym overall, has almost every machine you could ever need with a good selection of free weights. However its quite a small area and when it gets crowded during peak hours its quite difficult to get a good workout in, you're either going to have to wait a while and you'll have too many people in little space. Update: Got a email saying they were removing the barbells due to noise complains (GYM HAS NO BARBELL NOW??), and they started charging an extra dollar per week. Downgrade from 4 stars to 2 stars.

Fantastic experience: Not too many people, well equipped. It's a good place to work out in an pandemic environment.

Negative experience: Bella from the from desk is extremely rude and aggressive when asking me not to video tape my own workout

Negative experience: Just about every time you leave the gym, you have a text telling you not to drop the weights. It’s not me dropping them, so I don’t want to get this text every time I leave the gym.

Negative experience: A nice little gym but make sure you cancel 28 days in advance! I signed up to an opt out platinum plan and now have to pay 28 days worth of fees because I was misled to believe it was opt out with no fees. They proudly say "no cancellation fees, opt out any time", but then slide through a loophole to say "you need to stay here for 28 days". Very misleading, would not recommend for this reason alone. Phone staff are also not helpful and rude.

Positive experience: This is a nice little gym Club rules don't seem to be enforced though. Using a towel and wiping down equipment is just common courtesy, especially with the current restrictions in place. Some people need to be reminded.

Fantastic experience: Thanks vicky

Positive experience: Great gym but towel rules aren't being enforced very well at the moment.

Fantastic experience: Nice big inner city gym, the staff are lovely.

Fantastic experience: Great little gym, friendly staff (limited classes)

Fantastic experience: Good exercise

Positive experience: This was my regular gym. I think it wasn't too crowded when I went and it had a good vibe. Also good value. However I feel like they needed to get more weight plates and maybe be a bit more proactively about encouraging people to tidy up after themselves.

Negative experience: Staff don't enforce gym etiquette (returning weights, using towel, etc), and there's been a number of times I've been in when the toilets were effectively out of commission. Then there's the issue with Club Lime management (recently overcharged me by $100 and took five days to refund me, no real apology, just excuses). The equipment is decent, but not comprehensive. In short, avoid like the plague

Fantastic experience: Excellent free weights area, small class area, plenty of room during lunch hour

Fantastic experience: One of the best club limes in Canberra. I love the vibes so much

Fantastic experience: Great gym, and even better since their expansion. Good amount of cardio equipment, and they've used the space very cleverly to maximise weights equipment. My only gripe is that the bathrooms always seem trashed, particularly on weekdays, so additional cleaning might need to be scheduled in (or maybe the trainers could roll up their sleeves and do a bit of spot cleaning throughout the day). They seem to be doing a lot to be good neighbours with minimising noise impacts (signs posted about; text messages to all users who enter after 7pm etc), but there's always going to be inconsiderate people who'll just drop weights. All in all, a solid gym in a very convenient location.

Positive experience: I’m there all of the time and have no issues with the atmosphere or set up! Really like it. Only suggestion I’ve got would be to put up a photo of what the racks look like when all of the plates are on correctly. That way everyone is happy and will re-rack where they ought to.

Fantastic experience: Super easy. I usually go in my lunch break. It isn't too busy.

Positive experience: Lots of machines and tools for working out, running, cycling, stepping, elliptic, etc. There are regular fitness classes too. However, the three toilets are a few and sometimes they get really busy. They are equipped with showers what is very convenient. The fortnightly price is not expensive. Although take into account that you have to spend a high initial amount for the badget to get in and of you want to quit you should give four weeks notice for not been charged.

Positive experience: Disappointing that they lock up the kettle bells and throw you out of the functional area when there are classes.

Fantastic experience: amazing

Fantastic experience: Needs more toilets/showers

Fantastic experience: It went there for my pr session. It was cozy and tidy. Not very busy. There is no classes but if you want to do or or work out yourself, it will be the good place. Quiet and clean.

Fantastic experience: Great gym. Friendly helpful staff. Equipment modern and clean

Negative experience: Gets absolutely jam packed at peak hours. Not enough free weights. Only one bench press which tends to be occupied. Lots of fitness equipment. Basically a fitness studio.

Negative experience: Don't bother coming during peak times you will only be asked to make room for people doing the HIIT classes. Rudest staff I've ever encountered in a gym.

Positive experience: Small gym, but friendly staff and a good atmosphere

Positive experience: Small club, but plenty of equipment. Opened 24/7. Usually very quiet on Friday evening, Saturday and Sunday.

Positive experience: Clean gym. 24/7 Not many ppl, a lot of upper body machines. 1 deadlift rack and 2 squat racks. 2 cables. IMO not enough lower body machines, just 1 leg ext,1 leg press,1leg curl,1seated hacksquat and annoying calves raise machine no more than that. Would recommend hitting shoulders triceps and chest on this gym.

Positive experience: Weights are dropped frequently. It's annoying! I wouldn't be surprised if there was damage done to the building.....

Fantastic experience: Good location. Wel equipped.

Negative experience: 2/3 of the barbells are removed at 8pm everyday to reduce noise complaints. Peak times are packed and it's impossible to do a full routine unless it's dumbells/bodyweight.

Fantastic experience: Great crossfit area, Squat rack and Deadlift station

Fantastic experience: Clean, quiet, great staff. Still has that new-gym-sheen.

Positive experience: Good local gym, good quality machines, plenty of weights (for a small gym)

Fantastic experience: Everything is fantastic about this gym; equipment, location and staff! Please just change the music playlist... I hear the same stuff everyday! Cheers :)

Fantastic experience: Well equipped

Fantastic experience: Great facilities and super friendly staff!
