Fantastic experience: I started 4 weeks ago and I feel very motivated to go to the trainings. The sessions are very good and I suggest the BFT to anyone, you won’t regret!

Fantastic experience: The trainers are amazing, within two sessions they feel like friends and perfectly challenge and support you!
Fantastic experience: Amazing space, thoughtful, energetic and experienced trainers! Overall just great atmosphere to be show up for yourself in!
Fantastic experience: the best BFT studio I’ve been to! - the trainers are so friendly and welcoming and have really created a sense of community. I have been a member here for the past few years and really enjoy coming here each week. Also, the attention from the trainers is unmatched - their knowledge and attention to form is top notch.
Fantastic experience: Great trainers, strong attention to proper lifting technique. Easy to go at your own pace no matter what your fitness and strength level. Great bunch of people training at the studio. Highly recommend
Fantastic experience: 5 weeks in and I am loving bft - the coaches are very attentive and it has been a perfect way to start getting into strength workouts
Fantastic experience: I am enjoying my BFT routine with all the dedicated souls … motivators … zealous trainers !!
Fantastic experience: The church to kick start your workout, literally, as it is an old church, reworked as a gym. The trainers are friendly, chatty and knowledgeable. Providing you laughter, motivation and your diet plan. Can we get an Amen for the team.
Negative experience: As a resident next door, it’s like living next to a nightclub that starts at 6am. We moved next door when the venue was a peaceful rug store. Now it’s a thumping dance gym with screaming instructors and drums. No effort has been made to insulate the old church, and the shouts of “3, 2, 1” and “come on!” acts as my 6am alarm clock each morning. Complaints have been made to council, after which the noise pollution drops briefly before returning to alarm clock levels. If you are considering moving into a neighbouring apartment, be warned.
Fantastic experience: Such a great environment! All the trainers are excellent. They are more like friends that really want you to succeed in the gym.
Fantastic experience: I love the training and the team!! Everyone has a great vibe and helps where they can. In the beginning it can feel a bit daunting,seeing everyone giving full power and sweating it, but after the first few seasons you get used to it and become one of them. What an amazing team!
Fantastic experience: Love BFT South Melbourne. Instructors are fantastic and the classes are excellent. We look forward to every class :)
Fantastic experience: Joined BFT about a month ago and haven't looked back, only annoyed I never joined sooner! Amazing trainers and great classes! Really look forward to going everyday. Anyone who is considering it, do it you won't regret joining!!
Fantastic experience: Joined BFT 4 weeks ago after doing 4 years in commercial gyms and I'm loving it! I was hesitant at first that I was going to be able to complete my strength goals - as well as keep up with my half marathon training, but after discussing with the trainers my goals they were super supportive and able to provide well informed advice. I'm so excited to be taking on my first Challenge with BFT over the next 8 weeks. Would highly recommend this club for the inclusive and welcoming culture - as well for the well kept equipment, bathrooms and studio. Love coming here - and have started to enjoy exercise again after a period of hating working out // struggling for motivation! Thanks to all the trainers :)
Fantastic experience: Oh, the pleasure and the pain. How can people be so happy so early in the morning? Ellen, Nick and Zach somehow show up filled with fun & energy. It’s infectious and it makes me work harder. I have thoroughly enjoyed the experience so far. I love the variety across the class types which varies each week through different exercises, classes and progressions, which seems to keep my body away from the physio, particularly by providing alternatives when required. Thanks for the early morning wake up sessions, I’m buzzing when I leave.
Fantastic experience: BEST BFT Studio I have ever trained in! Ellen, Nick, Zach & Val are amazing coaches, they are knowledgeable, give you that positive energy as soon as you come in the studio and most importantly they CARE. Care about you, about your technical form, your goals and they will always you give you constructive feedbacks during the sessions. Little bonus is that I love their cooldown atmosphere, which I have only seen there. They play relaxing music, turn off the lights, so you can fully relax and hear (as opposed to screaming over the music) what they have to say about the upcoming sessions/events, stretching instructions and it leaves you calm before you leave. It’s also a beautiful studio in an old church, so it’s spacious and maintained very well with great equipment and clean facilities. Simply the best ! 110% recommend !! ❤️
Fantastic experience: Best atmosphere! The trainers are fantastic and super accomodating if you have an injury. Couldn’t recommend these legends more!
Fantastic experience: BFT is the best ! Great coaches and awesome variety of classes
Fantastic experience: Caring and educated instructors. Classes are varied - some cardio, weights, resistance, endurance. You won’t get bored. This place has a welcoming vibe: members are all friendly, facility is clean, instructors are like family.
Fantastic experience: Awesome trainers who take time to get to know you, great community vibe with no gym ego
Fantastic experience: I’ve done all forms of fitness regimes in the past - CrossFit, F45 etc - BFT is by far my favourite. The classes are always super challenging, always varied and always fun. But what really sets it apart is the amazing community of workout buddies and the Coaches - Ellen, Nik, Zach - you couldn’t ask for better people to motivate you to achieve your goals
Fantastic experience: I can't speak highly enough about BFT South Melbourne. Within just a month of joining, I've already seen incredible results. The classes are always engaging, ensuring that workouts are never boring. What's even better is that I don't have to spend countless hours in the gym to achieve my fitness goals. The team is exceptionally friendly and supportive, making every visit enjoyable. I highly recommend this gym to anyone looking for a positive and effective fitness experience!
Fantastic experience: Friendly gym with well structured workouts!
Fantastic experience: Friendly and welcoming team
Positive experience: The place is good, I think that with discipline you can change, advance and achieve your goals with the help of the coaches, who motivate you and ask frequently about how you feel.
Fantastic experience: BFT South Melbourne is the best place I've ever trained at! The trainers are excellent and the facilities are amazing. Ellen is the most conscientious trainer ever, she'd never fail to give me tips to improve my form, even during busy sessions (and I really really appreciate that). Nik is the funniest trainer I've ever met, he brightens up the sessions and really makes my day. It's also really great that they have more equipment at each station/zone than I've seen at other gyms, so it's a really great experience working out. Love it!
Fantastic experience: BFT South Melbourne has been my favourite gym to train at. They have a friendly and welcoming culture where all the coaches make an effort to get to know you, they are all very patient and have great attention to detail when coaching you through exercises. It is also an amazing building (church) to train in and all amenities are super clean. If you haven’t signed up already, you definitely should!!

Fantastic experience: I've been a member of BFT South Melb for 7 months now and it is one of the best things I've ever done! The training program is fun & everchanging so you never get bored. The trainers are a delight and treat you like a mate. The trainers aren't super tough on you either, it's a safe space to go as slow (or as hard) as you need to. I've been to a few BFT's around Aus and South Melbourne is definitely my favourite. I love it!
