Fernwood Fitness

Fantastic experience: So far I love this gym. The staff are so friendly and I love the upgrades to the gym. I just joined at the start of the year but so far everything is going well. There is plenty of machines and free weights available. Free breaky, childcare, clean bathrooms and sauna, lots of classes throughout the day. Female only gym. It's exactly what I was looking for

Fantastic experience: Can definitely say my confidence from being at Fernwood browns plains has sky rocketed! The staff are so friendly and make me feel so comfortable and that's what I have been missing from most gyms! Such an easy transition to fernwood and I'm excited to reach my 2025 body goals!!

Fantastic experience: My name is matilda kanu I was away for a year but since I came back start exercising. Doing RPM with Kate Thomas and Fit 30 with Kaylee. I have lost 10kg. Amazing instructions. I enjoy every activity in Fernwood Browns Plains. They are fantastic and wonderful works also team work. Even most of the members that I know am close with we as welll. We reflect on every activity. Fernwood Browns Plains it's amazing gym ️‍♂️ I will never regret be a member in that's branch. Breakfast amazing set up every morning. Friendly workers. Especially Kate Thomas makes us feel at home always smile talking to us, fun to be around every day. This is my review. Matilda kanu

Fantastic experience: Fantastic club lots of classes - instructor led and virtual

Fantastic experience: What an incredible caring and professional team of Women here at Brown Plains Furnwood Gym. I was so nurvous joining a gym after gaining 35kg over the last 6yrs. I knew it was time for a change and with 2 of my daughter joining months before and loving it I thought I'd give it ago. Wow, just wow... I was welcomed with warmth and smiles from the moment I walked in, I was shown around and everything discussed before I signed up to the basic plan with a free trial of the HIIT30 and booked in for a free 1hr demonstration of all the equipment and a free 30min Goal Setting appointment with one of their Personal Trainers. After 3 weeks of training in the HIIT30 and utilising their free 4 weeks RX food program I have lost 3.5kgs. The high level of support and caring, loving nature of the staff and patrons encouraged me to upgrade to the 12month platinum membership today and my other daughter signing up too. I know with the encouragement and support of the team at Browns Plains Furnwood Gym ill loose the weight and gain some new friends. I highly recommend Browns Plains Furnwood Gym for every Woman.

Fantastic experience: Very clean. The equipments although sturdy enough, is not the best of the range. There were lots of cardiovascular machines like treadmill, bicycles, and elliptical machines. But only one pull-down machine. There are 3 very spacious rooms : one for spin cycling, the other for special classes with a huge screen for following video workouts on demand, and the reformer pilates room all include new pilates beds. There are lots of classes available throughout the week for joining, which i like. The shower stalls each have a metal stool for you to put your bag on when showering. I'm told they will be renovated, so hopefully, it will include a bench or something for the bag. What was annoying was there wasn't any warm water for showering. There are lockable lockers, which i like. Breakfast of bread, 3 spreads, cereals, coffee, and tea with skim milk provided. All in all a good gym with lots of varieties, so you won't get bored in your quest to becoming healthier and stronger.

Fantastic experience: Tried many other gyms. Fernwood browns plains tops them all! The staff are so encouraging and friendly. They go above and beyond for members! Classes are fun and get the results your after! Melissa young

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend joining Fernwood Browns Plains all staff and members are amazing. Just finished the 5 week challenge while also doing the Aston RX 28 day detox And had some fantastic results. There are so many classes available for all different levels of fitness, oh and the coffee lounge is always a great social meeting place.

Fantastic experience: Amazing facilities that are constantly being upgraded, wonderful and friendly staff. Lots of classes and PTs to choose from, my son also loves attending the creche.

Fantastic experience: Long term member (15 years!). The club is well managed. Plenty of classes, friendly trainers and the equipment is well maintained. Loads of social opportunities and an all important coffee pod machine in the members area :)

Fantastic experience: Lovely staff. Great atmosphere.

Negative experience: They make out you only have a 12 month contract but when you try and cancel it there’s all these extras. Equipment can also be broken and take along time to get fixed

Negative experience: The gym has minimal equipment which in peak time and so many members can make it hard to work out. I love the classes but the atmosphere is below average on the gym floor and needs some colour/ some fun lights like the advertisements.

Positive experience: Amazing !

Fantastic experience: I love the instructors and the reformer studio is amazing.

Fantastic experience: Love Fernwood Fitness Browns Plains. Staffs are amazing, everyone is helpful and friendly. They have the sauna that I love most and exclusively for girls only.

Negative experience: I have been with Fernwood specifically Fernwood Browns Plains for over a year now and I must say i’m incredibly disappointed. To pay $48 a fortnight you would expect working and sufficient equipment, friendly staff and more face to face classes. One of the stair masters has been out for over a month and the second one for a few weeks now meaning there isn’t one available in the gym, the dumbbell rack only goes up to 25kg which is not catering to everyone. Most interactions i’ve had with staff they were either rude or uninterested i’ve bought up multiple issues in the past that just got swept under the rug. They claim one of the reasons they charge so much for memberships because of all of the classes when majority of them are virtual classes you could just look up and watch at home. I’m not one to make reviews unless something is really good or really bad and my experience at Fernwood hasn’t been good at all the only positive is the fact that it’s all women’s but for $48 a fortnight I expected much better.

Fantastic experience: Great gym that caters for females and only for females. Love this place and it’s got a lot of luxury for a gym too.

Positive experience: Attended zumba class. Instructor was quite good and energetic, and it was also a fun class. If you like dancing, highly recommend :)

Negative experience: I must say i am disappointed with the way my membership has ended with Fernwood Browns Plains... However i am also not surprised. From being sucked into paying ridiculous amount of money for minimal equipment and facilities, to being harassed over phone, text messages, and emails, sometimes getting 2-3 points of contact a day, to now the gym not accepting a medical certificate from my GP to cancel my membership due to medical concerns. Never in my life have i ever been made to feel like my medical condition was not valid & important. The staff are extremely rude - not welcoming and sometimes quite intimidating for new gym- goers. It doesnt hurt to crack a smile.... This gym has done nothing but steer me away from similar practises. Do not go here if your looking for a quality gym with supportive staff, and not wanting to sell your kidney to pay the fees. On top of that, do not sign a contract with them if you have any known medical conditions, apparently a Doctor's opinion/ advice is not good enough for these guys, next time i will be asking to see their doctorate degrees. If i could give minus 5 stars i absolutely would. ‍♀️ Worst. Experience. Ever.

Positive experience: Great facilities. Staff are very welcoming.

Fantastic experience: Awesome staff, friendly members, lots of classes to choose from

Fantastic experience: Very welcoming gym at Browns Plains! Love the atmosphere and energy. Everyone who works there is so lovely and I feel really comfortable each time I go!

Fantastic experience: Love this gym,staff are fantastic,always clean and tidy.24/7 access .

Fantastic experience: Love this gym, friendly and supportive staff. I love that they have early morning reformer pilates and Fiit30 sessions the Premium membership has been the key to the positive changes in my fitness and physique allowing me unlimited Reformer and Fiit30 classes.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, great atmosphere.. heaps of classes available and really helpful, friendly staff

Fantastic experience: Our club has the most amazing members - such a supportive community of women empowering each other to achieve their health goals!

Fantastic experience: My favourite place for working out

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to Fernwood for almost a year now and it’s the best thing I have done for myself. The trainers are all very friendly and knowledgeable and cater to your specific fitness levels even during a group class. I go to the group training classes with Kate and Michelle and I have built up a lot of strength since having a baby! The crèche teachers are also awesome, they are very patient and fun. The gym itself and the equipment is always clean and tidy & the breakfast provided is always full ( tea, coffee, cereals, toast with spreads to choose from & fruit).

Fantastic experience: This gym is amazing! The trainers, instructors, staff and the members are all lovely and helpful. Very welcoming friendly environment and the selection of classes is unparalleled. Virtual classes are great too and Pilates reformer classes are fantastic, suitable for all levels. So happy to have made the decision to join. Member for life!

Fantastic experience: Amazing staff!!, Awesome environment!!, Very Clean and Great people!!

Fantastic experience: Beautiful aesthetic and lovely staff. Also love how multi cultural this gym is

Fantastic experience: The staff are amazing, Anna the personal trainer was awesome, and another lady called Anna that teaches Zumba is the most amazing women I've met, so bubbly and full of character, you can't help but walk away smiling after even a few minutes talking with her.

Fantastic experience: Honestly feel really comfortable here. Michelle is my PT and she's been great with me also. Love the sauna ! Haha

Fantastic experience: The Browns Plains team are absolutely awesome. I have been a member for years and love Zumba nights !!!The virtual classes are a bonus and you can work out after hours.

Negative experience: Always very cold. Fans constantly on full blast and aircons. Tried to take it up with them but was told they can't do anything about it. So I just left. There is no point going to a gym that is like a cold room it will make weight loss hard.

Fantastic experience: Anna our zumba teacher is great!

Fantastic experience: Awesome facilities with amazing and professional staff. I love this gym and all the friendships formed. Everyone supports and motivates each other. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Great Gym, Great Staff - love it!

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym with amazing staff. Always happy to help. I absolutely love it

Fantastic experience: AMAZING staff, amazing classes, amazing atmosphere. I cannot recommend this gym enough. Trainers are so accommodating and give options for every age and fitness level. Nothing is ever to much. Its more then a gym it's a community. You only have to look at the photos. Everyone is so happy. I have made some amazing friends whilst being a member here and I love it more every day. Truly are amazing people there and I am so lucky to be apart of such a inspiring place. Woman power. Women encouraging women. Join up, you won't regret it...

Negative experience: My contract was actually expired and no one told me that I have to request to cancel. So, they are continue to be debited. Very unprofessional and expensive team. Never join again!!!

Negative experience: Due to changes in my life I couldn't attend the gym since January still i have to pay them $35.91 fortnightly (only 8 weeks I paid $8). very expensive and unprofessional team. While joining they charge me for activation kit except access card I didn't get anything from them no starter pack, no online program, no support, not even a signal email from them etc. I don 't recommend this gym especially for students with low budget.

Negative experience: Worst gym ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fantastic experience: Lovely gym, great facilities, friendly staff.

Negative experience: The gym itself has no windows or natural light. If you like doing weight training there is limited weights. When groups our own it’s very crowded and hard to work out. I moved during covid and they are still charging me $325 to cancel my membership. Very expensive lesson won’t go near a Fernwood again!

Fantastic experience: Really good atmosphere. Helpful staff. Clean facilities. Virtual classes.

Positive experience: Back in the day when I was a member it was good. Friendly happy staff. Great atmosphere. The music could have been a little more louder and pumping cause you're a gym not a library ha ha. Mel you rock. And Morgan was the best trainer

Fantastic experience: Mi mejor sitio es encantador

Negative experience: I had bad experience with this gym a few years back. They were fine until it was time i needed to cancel my membership. I was not on contract but it didnt seem to make any sense what all the extra fees i was paying for. They just ripped me right off. Never again!

Fantastic experience: Have been a member here for many years. It has recently been refurbished with new floors and machines. Features a specific area now for Fit 30 to complement the dedicated reformer gym, cycle room and mixed class areas.

Fantastic experience: The best..cleanest..friendly staff..down to earth!

Fantastic experience: Variety of equipment - both free weights and machines, heaps of classes on offer, great atmosphere, friendly staff and most importantly for us mums - childcare available!

Fantastic experience: Wonderful gym.

Fantastic experience: I have only been here a short time but am really enjoying it. Never thought Id be doing something like this at my age but is all for the good of my health. Staff are very friendly and only too willing to answer questions and help out.

Negative experience: Waste of money!! Rude staff!! Seems as though once you have signed an paid up you are ignored, I can’t count how many times they turned their head away from my direction when passing me. I go around lunchtime so only a handful of people around, very basic facilities and 1 of each other equipment besides treadmills. Very small area, I’m glad I go when it’s not busy . The classes are all overcrowded! I left and their was a termination fee of $300 + another months worth of membership of nearly $100. So rude ignorant staff, very limited and unclean equipment an the hidden T&C in agreement.

Fantastic experience: I switched from Darra Fernwood to Browns Plains and it is the best fitness decision I’ve made. It’s been about a month(?) and the staff are friendly, know my name and my body (weird back) and the members always say hello and have a chat! Such an uplifting, friendly environment that makes you feel like you can do anything. It’s everything you want it to be.

Fantastic experience: Helpful and friendly staff. Clean and modern equipment. Been going here for years and love it.

Negative experience: I joined the brown plains club not knowing th h had a another at loganholme. I decided to transfer I thought I will be allowed to transfer over the phone cause I never got given a tag. Even after talking to them about my transfer I still got charged for all the time I was not coming. Them knowing I was on a flexi plan and could stop at anytime. Is pretty bad their policies cause they did not cancel my membership just cause I had to come in and say my name and collect the receipt. Which could have been done over the phone and the receipt could have been emailed. Bad customer care service never again brownsplains club

Fantastic experience: Fantastic

Negative experience: The place is great....until you want to cancel your membership! Then they run you around in circles (while still taking your money) and make it out to be your fault because it took them 3 weeks and $110 just to stop usinf their facilities. I left with tears in my eyes and will never go back to another fernwood!

Negative experience: After being a member for over 5 years I have cancelled my membership due to a steady decline in the facilities and services. After so many years as a regular member I was not even asked why I was leaving. Very disappointing. Have joined Logan Metro where the staff are extremely friendly and classes not over crowded also great value for money.

Fantastic experience: I recently visited Fernwood browns plains to take a tour of the gym and feel out the vibe. After visiting a competing gym I was not sure I wanted to sign up anymore. After speaking to Nikki and having a tour, we were in love with the facilities, the staff and the vibe! The cleanliness alone was incredible. All the staff were super sweet- but Nikki especially was so kind, not pushy, bubbly, and made sure we were happy. My sister in law and I both signed up to yearly plans and are so excited to get started! Thanks again Nikki! - Jazzmin ~ not sure why it's got my partners name haha.

Fantastic experience: Shame to see negative reviews on here. I have been a member for quite a few years now....love it! Staff are great. Ferngully for my kiddies is also great. Classes are great and equipment!

Fantastic experience: I love all the staff here, they make it a really friendly and not at all imtimidating place. The range of machines is great and the bathroom facilities are really well maintained amd stocked. Thanks ladies :)
