Fernwood Fitness: Opinions
Fantastic experience: Fernwood Preston has been a game-changer for me! A small but mighty gym with friendly staff that makes you feel welcome. The variety of equipment and classes keeps workouts exciting, and the trainers help me stay on track and push me toward my goals. I love it!
Fantastic experience: Preston is the best! The people are great.
Fantastic experience: I never stuck with a gym membership until I joined Fernwood Preston. Such a welcoming and encouraging environment. It made me feel far less conscious of myself and the great staff encouraged me to push myself and try new things. To women who want to start working out, I highly recommended Fernwood.
Thank you so much for your positive review! If you can give us a call on 94800888 we would like to gift you with a complimentary functional training session. We are unable to contact you as we don't have you in our system.
Fantastic experience: It’s only rightful that I put all the girlies on this gym. If you’re reading this please consider yourself lucky for even thinking of Fernwood Preston. I live in the northern suburbs, so not only is it convenient but it’s also the most beautifully structured gym that has you motivated to go everyday. Okay okay the features are all pink and cute but the community is where my heart lies. I just love how safe it feels being around fellow empowered women who are all striving to achieve better health and fitness goals. I hope this helps someone struggling to find a ladies only gym that meets their needs Ps. If you’re a hijabi, you’re free to workout in your cute gym outfits while staring at yourself in the mirror without the fear of any men seeing you. (Literally safe space). Main perks of a ladies only gym

Fantastic experience: This gem of a gym may not be a typical massive gym but it sure has a lot of heart; from the friendly staff, the energising classes to the clean space, it's easy to find support and friendship here. The rate for Personal Training is actually quite competitive considering you have qualified trainers currently studying for their masters expanding knowledge in health and exercise science.

Negative experience: Very unhappy with fernwood preston I don't recommend to anyone they are money hunters even though my contract ended and I gave prior notice I don't want to continue they still took 2 debit payments discusting attitude and money hungry never ever again!!!
Hi Fatma, we are sorry to hear that you are disappointed with the level of service. A notice period of 2 further debits is required for all cancellations and this was outlined in your agreement which you have signed. This was also stated at the point of cancellation when you signed the cancellation form. Please know you can still access the club within your notice period during staffed hours. Please give us a call in club if there is anything further we can assist you with. Wishing you all the best!
Fantastic experience: Supportive community vibe and awesome instructors!
Thank you Clare for your positive feedback! Go Pilates!! x
Fantastic experience: I can’t express enough how great Fernwood Preston has been over the last 2 years I have been a member. It took me some time to warm up to trusting in a gym, but with their amazing trainers, admin staff and coaches, I have never felt more comfortable in myself then I do at Fernwood Preston. Thankyou Preston Team! ❤️
Thank you so much for your positive review Gabbi! It has been an absolute pleasure to see your growth and development in club - let's just say you are inspiring the team! Keep it up and keep shining xox
Fantastic experience: A small but mighty gym! I’ve been a visitor (reciprocal membership) on and off to this gym for 6 years and throughout have been very happy and highly recommend this gym. The staff are very friendly, helpful and attentive and the gym has a great culture. The first time I visited (I always introduce myself as a visitor) there was a little pressure to transfer my membership but not too much at all and I have never felt overly pressured to join. The gym and cardio room have always been clean and I think they might have the nicest bathroom of any Fernwood (although the placement of the toilets is a little awkward). The culture of the gym is great and I can see great relationships between staff/PTs and members.
Ooh..we love how you have described us Sarah - small yet mighty!!! Thank you for your positive feedback x
Negative experience: Be careful before you sign their membership I was unable to attend the club and went oversea when I saw they took my money $140 and another $140 With Covid situation they still got the money out of me I thought they try to help people but obviously not.
Hi Annie, we are disappointed that you have highlighted this which isn't the full story. A refund was provided to you for the debits that was taken. The reason these debits were taken was due to you not notifying us that you wish to defer your membership. We can only assist if you informed us prior to the debit dates being scheduled and as outlined in the email that we sent you in November. If there is anything else we can assist with, please contact the club directly.
Fantastic experience: The girls here are all so helpful and kind. I love working out in the judgement-free atmosphere where everyone is happy to help
Thank you for your positive spirit and attitude Siobhan - keep up with your training! x

Fantastic experience: The best gym / club I have ever been to! I've been a member at Fernwood Preston for 3 years. The staff and other members are all amazing - so friendly, helpful and inspiring. The range of classes is also fantastic. If you're looking for a gym where you feel safe, supported and inspired then I definitely recommend Fernwood Preston.
Thank you so much for your beautiful review Nicole! Your spirit inspires us in club everyday! x
Fantastic experience: I have been a member of many gyms prior to joining Fernwood Preston back nearly 3 years ago. I was a member of a Leisure Centre where I felt I was not getting the motivation required to work out and was going on and off. I live locally but when I moved work to a few doors down from Preston and really needed that change, I walked into Fernwood Preston and asked about what was offered. Saw that there was a variety of classes and it had all facilities I needed. Took me all of 24 hours to decide to become a member. Once I joined up back in September 2019 I have not looked back. The team at Fernwood Preston are the most amazing inclusive gym I have ever belonged too. Their classes offered are amazing. Body Combat has fast become my favourite. Being an all women's gym I feel so comfortable no matter how you look you are made to feel comfortable regardless of your fitness level. MT and her team are the absolute best team and during lockdown helped more than they could know with keeping fit and motivated on a mental health level and continue to do so. You are made to feel part of Team Preston instantly. If you are looking for a gym and are not sure and live locally then this is the gym for you. Not to mention 24 hour access! You will not regret it. If I could give more than 5 stars I would :) You will be supported every step of the way for whatever your goals are.
Thank you so much for positive and detailed review Julia! Your melt our hearts and we feel blessed to have you as a member! Keep smashing your training sessions! x
Fantastic experience: Fernwood Preston is by far my favourite gym in Melbourne!! An incredible gym that's well managed thus offers great fitness classes, gym equipment and supportive/friendly staff that makes you feel like second home. I've tried many other gyms in and around Preston and Melbourne, and this gym is still by far the best!
Thank you Surene for your positive review! Keep strong and shining every where you go x
Fantastic experience: Absolutely love the staff at this club!! They will always go above and beyond to help you reach your fitness goals. Highly recommend this club to everyone!
Thanks Melissa for you positive words! Keep strong and shinning!
Fantastic experience: Saying YES to this gym is something you'll never regret! I love the positivity, drive and supportive atmosphere everyone has for one another. I ABSOLUTELY love working here and working out, spending time with members and the team. Even in the present Covid19 times, Fernwood's drive + dedication to help its community is clear at work, providing online PT + virtual online classes. Its commitment to help others is multidimensional, exceeding the mere physical component. Such a beautiful collection of people, Fernwood, I cannot fault you one bit :)
Thank you Stephanie! Your kind words touches our heart immensely! You have blessed PRESTON with your beautiful spirit and we are super grateful to have you! ❤️
Fantastic experience: Great classes, friendly staff, always clean. I feel very welcomed here. Definitely my go to gym!
Thanks Lisa for your positive feedback! Keep up the awesome work and positive spirit in club
Fantastic experience: My experience at Fernwood Preston has been amazing. The team is friendly, welcoming and very passionate about helping you achieve your fitness goals. Claudia is an amazing PT, she is motivating, very encouraging and always makes PT sessions enjoyable. I would highly recommend her to anyone starting at Fernwood. The circuit classes are one of my favourite group classes, Tash does an amazing job motivating everyone and there is always a great vibe during the class.
Thanks Pamela for your positive review! Super happy you are loving your PT sessions even during this challenging time. We love having you part of team Preston
Fantastic experience: This club feels like home. From the friendly and welcoming staff to the small touches that make all the difference. I've always felt comfortable coming to this gym. It has a very safe and accepting vibe and I've been able to achieve all my fitness and health goals.
Thank you Bianca! It’s been an absolute pleasure to have you a part of team Preston. Stay strong and passionate
Fantastic experience: Love MT and the team and such an inclusive environment and would highly recommend this not only as a place to work out but somewhere to belong to and embrace as part of your daily life. You don’t feel like it’s a chore to work out, you look forward to going to reward your body and mind with movement as it feels great to be part of a team that supports you every step along the way of your fitness and wellness journey
Thank you Gina! We are super delighted to see your fitness transformation! You inspire us over and over with your commitment and drive to reach your goals. Stay strong and gorgeous
Fantastic experience: I love this gym! Friendly staff members make everyone feel very welcome and the personal trainers are knowledgeable and genuinely care about your results. It's also a very comfortable and positive atmosphere with a supportive and non-judgmental environment for all women of all ages. The 24hr access is awesome and it's a clean space with quality equipment. There are anti-bac wipes available at many stations in the gym and a staff member is always wiping all the machines down. I feel very safe and comfortable exercising here. I would give more than 5 stars if I could! Highly recommended.
Thank you so much for your feedback Karen! We love the fact you are loving the virtual group fitness classes! Can’t wait to see you back in club stronger than ever ❤️
Fantastic experience: Loving virtual PT and the variety of virtual classes offered!
Thanks Bec! Super happy you are moving through these challenging times and super happy we are a part of that achievement ❤️
Fantastic experience: I’ve been to many gyms around Australia and have found Fernwood Preston to have some of the friendliest staff, offer a variety of classes and provide a supportive community that goes beyond the walls of the gym. Love it here!
Thank you Tona! We absolutely adore your positive spirit in club - keep smiling, keep strong ❤️
Fantastic experience: All the staff are so encouraging, inspiring. It is such a pleasure to walk into a gym that makes you feel comfortable and motivated. All the coaches are professional and tailor the classes to your fitness level, was a bit sceptical about the new virtual PT classes but Natasha has taken them to another level, absolutely love them. Awesome workouts and all the virtual classes are wonderful, helping me to stay fit and motivated in this Covid world of lockdown.
Thank you for your kind words Wendy! What an inspiration you are to the team. We strive to support our members because we believe in encouraging our members to be the best version they can be! ❤️
Fantastic experience: Fernwood Preston has such a welcoming and supportive team, with a lot of services on offer to help start your journey to improving your health. I love the community this gym has created, with welcoming and friendly members and staff. Even during the current COVID-19 pandemic the involvement of this community in my life has kept me sane!
Thank you Zoe! Keep strong and connected - we love your spirit in club.
Fantastic experience: Love Fernwood Preston I have been a member for over 15 years that they have always offered experienced, supportive & super friendly staff. They provide a great variety of classes for your own personalised physical & mental well being journey!
Thank you so much for your positive review Amanda! We love having you a part of the team. Stay strong
Fantastic experience: I've been going here for over 2 years now and I am so glad I made the decision to join. ALL the staff are amazing and I know for me, when I walk through the door, they know exactly how I am feeling. As for my PT, Jess is the bomb!!! I do training with Jess and Zoe the most, both know what i'm capable of, push me to beat myself and don't ever let me give up. This place is my therapy, I spend so much time here and the relationship I have with everyone is definitely evident of that. I highly recommend FERNWOOD PRESTON. Best decision I ever made!!!
Thank you for your positive review Nikki! We absolutely love your spirit in club. You make us strive to do better everyday! ❤️
Fantastic experience: The gym has handled the Covid-19 situation very well and have implemented a range of alternatives to help members stay active. Personal training is offered online and so are group fitness classes. This is not common with usual commercial gyms so this is what makes Fernwood Preston stand out in this time. Highly recommend at least giving it a go!
Thank you Claudia for your positive feedback! Keep rocking - we love having you in club!
Fantastic experience: Awesome community of women supporting women.
Thank you Jessica for your positive feedback! Your laugh in club warms our heart every time. Keep training, keep strong!
Negative experience: Not a great gym , seems like its one of the worst ones in the fernwood brand. staff are amazing, and its at no fault of theirs that i did not like this gym the gym is very small, and very cramped, and is lacking in equipment and proper space. the free weights area is basically non existent, and is also on a slant? Can't expect people to be lifting weights on uneven ground. the cost of membership is high, thats what happens when you go to female only gyms, usually i think it can be justified, but for the preston fernwood unfortunately not.
Positive experience: Parking is a major issue, if a class is popular make sure you turn up 5 - 10 min early. You won't be let into a class late. Maybe park as far away as you can to leave parks for people who can't come early. Maybe park at Beaumont Tiles. Their group fitness/non machine area could be bigger considering their focus is on a cross fit vibe. Stretch "area" almost non existent as a consequence.
Fantastic experience: Preston Fernwood has a team of positive, dedicated staff that are so friendly. They motivate me to be the best version of myself. The gym is very welcoming to all females of any age and fitness.
Thank you for your positive spirit Elysee! Keep on focusing on you and inspiring others around you! x
Fantastic experience: Great classes. Best team! Super motivational and always willing to help. One of the cleanest guns I've ever attended.
Fantastic experience: Great place!! Favourite work out zone!!
Fantastic experience: I recently did a 30 day trail at Fernwood Preston. Such a fun and comfortable environment to work out, and for someone who has not experienced gym life before (or done much exercise), I really enjoyed the classes and the facilities that were provided for me and for other members. All staff members are very helpful and always present themselves with a happy and welcoming manner. Unfortunately, I cannot join full-time at this stage due to work and study commitments, but will 100% consider joining when the time is right!
Negative experience: It was a bad experience for me and i will never do a contract with Fernwood again.
Fantastic experience: Coming to the end of a year of changes and being a member of a gym was high on the list. Could not have asked for a better group of trainers and operators. Very supportive and always encouraging and knowledgeable. Highly recommend Preston Fernwood for ladies of all ages and stages of life.
Fantastic experience: Super supportive staff, great variety of classes. Super happy I chose Fernwood Preston for fitness!
Negative experience: Updated from 5 stars to 1 star ... Sorry I do not like the owner she is very bossy .. I hate this gym and I can even force my self to go ... I do notlike the atmosphere .. Advise try to go to other branches they are better thousand times... .. today I met the manager and karina they were super nice and great persons . Excellent ..starting from ladies in the reception super kind, nice and welcoming ... chaning room very nice and clean .. classes super good with Kat and Julia ..machines new and about 30 channels u can watch ... My membership in the city but coming to it at weekend or evening .. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT ...
Fantastic experience: Awesome gym and community.
Positive experience: Warm welcome, brand new gym equipment, & great trainers.
Fantastic experience: I love this gym, the trainers and the vibe. I am one happy gym-goer!
Fantastic experience: Polite and Upbeat Staff, Wonderful Facilities and Great Amenities. Staff were very understanding and more than helpful in dealing with Issues surrounding finances. Would thoroughly recommend Fernwood Preston to anyone looking for a safe environment to get fit in.
Fantastic experience: The staff at Fernwood are very nice and helpful, also there is the option to buy a after hours pass so that you can use the gym any time 24-7, which is great and the centre is very secure so you feel safe even when you go and work out at night. Great gym, highly recommended.
