Fantastic experience: Rosa ( hopefully I didn’t butcher the spelling was wonderful accomodating and the gym is clean and has everything you possibly need. I was in town for 2 nights sent a message at 7am and got an instant reply and she organised me passes for 2 days. What more can you ask for, make sure you pop in and get your workout done if you’re ever in Rye.

Fantastic experience: I have been trying a range of classes at the Boat House Gym and am so happy I found this place. Both the instructors and the other people in the classes have been super friendly. The workouts have been challenging but also flexible enough to allow for different levels of fitness. All the staff are great, with Bailey, who is a superstar, greeting me when I first attended and making me feel welcome every time I go. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Customer service via social media with Boat House Gym was amazing, they were able to work in an introduction suited to my work schedule which was a massive help. On top of this I can't wait to be paying $9.95 instead of $55 like my previous gym up in town... I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone in the gym and getting in the groove of things again. And the free shoes...what a plus

Maggie B 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Having recently joined the Boat House gym, I have been inspired to improve my health and fitness by the professionalism and knowledge of the friendly staff. Kai, Bailey, Rosa and Ange (staff members I've met) have been very encouraging and helpful. It's wonderful to be able to attend the gym in the knowledge that it's a very safe environment and a real community atmosphere where staff and members are so friendly and encouraging.They don't expect me to do anything more than I am capable of, so that even the smallest successes can be celebrated. I'm so glad I joined after so much time ..." I'm gunna..I'm gunna" .. to actually DO it and be a part of the Beach House Community is fabulous. Thanks all.

Jessica 1 year ago

Positive experience: Despite the small size of this gym it’s well equipped with the equipment you’d need for your workout. Taking Olympic barbells + plates from inside to the outside area was a tad risky/safety when it’s busy and you have to re-enter your passcode to the door every single time but there isn’t another option as the indoor space can’t accommodate with the tight space. Super clean facilities, highly recommended.

Caterina Moscatello-Kuchmar 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Great gym with plenty of equipment and friendly community. There are plenty of membership options, including holiday memberships, which were easy to sign up to and included all the benefits of being a member. Rosa was lovely and answered my inquiries promptly. Highly recommend this gym if you down on the Mornington peninsula

Fantastic experience: The boat house gym is the best local training place. 10 OUT OF 10. Rosa is super professional trainer always give you good advice. All the members at this gym is friendly, not to mention adequate professional facilities and reasonable fees. If you are still looking for the gym, the boat house is the top choice.

Fantastic experience: Away from home, I needed somewhere to train for two weeks, and I was very glad to find the Boat House Gym. Getting that sorted was easy, not to mention a reasonable rate, and I was welcomed into the cleanest gym I have ever been in. There's a great range of machinery, and enough toys to keep this powerlifter satisfied. Gym ownership - you're doing it right.

I really love working out there!

Fantastic experience: I love this gym. It has a great layout not typically seen in most gyms - no large, generic warehouse size room devoid of character here! It has the charm of an intimate home gym but with all the weights, cable and cardio machines you can ever need! Rosa, her team and the members make you feel part of a big friendship group.

Fantastic experience: The place is amazing! Run by interested and engaging staff members who tailor made a routine for me. The equipment is new, building well ventilated for fantastic fresh air flow, plenty of room and a variety of classes, weights and specific strengthening equipment. Rules are covid friendly and I fell safe behind the locked tag-entry doors. Prices are obvious and I found there were no hidden costs. These people take our fitness seriously and I really enjoy going there. Update: Seven months later, I'm still happy to keep going back... which is a first.

Fantastic experience: Could not rate this gym highly enough. Rosa has created a place where the vibe is so relaxed and friendly. My husband and I visit the gym, when we come to the caravan park, every year. Compared to the big corporate gyms, there is no contest. The array of equipment is first class and the gym is always spotless. It is such a pleasure to do a workout there. My husband is so not “ a gym person”, but happily attended The Boathouse with me whilst on holiday. Keep up the good work Rosa, we’ll be back next year. Kate

Positive experience: Has lots of modern equipment but staff are often hard to find as the place is often left unstaffed. Also, it gets hot inside on hot days. Not much floor space. The room used for classes is small and often very cramped and hot.
