The Performance Centre

Fantastic experience: Trained here for the last couple of years. Great place to train with friendly trainers and staff!

Fantastic experience: Great little spot, friendly and kind nature. Fairly priced and great trainers. No dickheads and all the gear you need. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Great little gym in the heart of Fitzroy. All the staff are super friendly and quick to help with any queries. Nice and clean with lots of natural light and gorgeous plants. Two thumbs up!

Fantastic experience: Great gym with 24-7 access, not crowded and has everything you need

Fantastic experience: The Performance Centre is a friendly, supportive environment to workout in. Allied health practitioner consultation rooms are a massive benefit.

Fantastic experience: Great 24/7 facilities. Friendly team. I needed a space with strength and conditioning equipment - they've got all the core ones plus some funky ones not found in other gyms. Would recommend.

Positive experience: Such a great and affordable gym in the center of Fitzroy. Never crowded or waiting for equipment. There isn’t a huge amount of space for mat work but the staff service is incredible and the community is very respectful. Thanks!

Fantastic experience: I trained here for two years - only moved due to moving out of the area - and loved it! The gym is so well equipped for being a smaller gym and the staff are so welcoming and trainers all very knowledgeable and approachable. It’s a great gym for everybody whether you’re starting out or more advanced. Extra points for all the cute dogs too!

Fantastic experience: Perfect, clean and inviting gym! Gets me excited to go.

Fantastic experience: Josh and the team have been the absolute best at helping me achieve my fitness goals and I could not recommend this place enough! The team are so approachable and friendly, and it helps that I can bring my dog here as well! I also see the allied health practioners which has helped me immensely. If you want a friendly neighbourhood gym this is definitely the place.

Fantastic experience: Went here for 4 months. Five stars deserved. Great atmosphere. Members always put all equipment back, it’s always tidy. Cozy casual atmosphere, but focused, people go to work out not to socialize and hang around. Does indeed get a bit hot but they’re changing location soon I think. 10/10

Negative experience: Josh the owner is a scammer. Stay away from this business useless you want to be ripped off. I put my membership on hold while I'm working overseas which I was told I could. When I put it on hold Josh emailed to me is as follows. "Hi Ross, I have just put yours and Sisonexay's membership on hold, whenever you're back get in touch or pop in during staffed hours and we'll restart your membership and add on the credit from when you went away until now. Enjoy the rest of your holiday! Thanks, Josh" I am still overseas and have not been to the gym once this year. He has started debiting me again four months ago. I just released. This is his response to my requested refund "Hi Ross, I completely understand and I do believe you that you are working overseas. I am not accusing you of scamming anyone. What I am saying is that we have a process for putting holds on, and part of that process is you letting us know when you want the membership on hold from and to (with specific dates). It is not our responsibility to keep following up with you to find out when you're coming back or if you want it extended. All you need to do is email us a new date and we can extend it. I made the process clear last time we were emailing and said that you need to inform us of any changes to the hold and when your membership would resume. I apologise but there is nothing more I can do. We have a process that all of our members follow."

Fantastic experience: I've loved working out here. The people are relaxed and friendly and you can come and go as you please. The space is big enough, that for a small gym you can always do want you need. They have a good mix of machines, sled, dumbbells and floorspace. I'd highly recommend. ps: If you want to roll some sort of therapy or personal training into your gym membership, this place is set up for that.

Fantastic experience: Really, really love the centre! Trained here for a short time, but a great experience. Well maintained, always quiet, nice staff, nice people, good range of equipment and space to use it.

Fantastic experience: Have had the most unbelievably life changing experience with Matt Sostaric - an Exercise Physiologist at The Performance Centre. I went to the centre for an initial look having explained I had a chronic condition and they asked if I felt I'd like to see an Exercise Physiologist - I'd never even heard of one! I haven't been to a gym for 35 years and was clueless ... meeting and engaging Matt has been utterly incredible. Matt knew of my condition (even though its quite hard to find doctors who do) and has gone out of his way to find out more to assist me. What I liked about him from the get go was he did not treat me 'special' - and by that I mean he treated me like I was capable, strong and have so much potential ... whilst my illness takes me down - Matt and his program have built me back up and as astonishing as it is to me and everyone who knows me - gym is now my 'happy place' ... oh sure I grumble and trash talk some - but I know I'm in great hands and feel inspired to go even further than he often sets. The change in me has been amazing - when I go to gym, my pain is less and Matt never fails to check up on me regularly between appointments to support me. I've recently had to pivot my goals and we've changed up my plan - and at all times he listens so intently and comes back with just the right program for my next challenge. I appreciate his sense of humour and relaxed interaction - but most of all his respect for understanding not just my physical issues but how psychologically sometimes it's not easy to cope when living with a chronic condition. I cannot recommend him highly enough. As for The Performance Centre - oh how I love it - the vibe is just perfect - being open 24 hours is the BEST BONUS so you can pick and chose the times that work best and often I get the benefit of having it all to myself at 'odd' hours ... also you can bring your dog!!! YES! That was actually my one criteria ... the equipment is all there and plenty of it - the other staff are friendly, it's clean with everything you need and also feels like a safe place with zero judgement - people are friendly but you are left to get into your own zone and not be bothered by anyone. 100% the best place to turn your life around - and honestly Matt Sostaric is the man who will give you the plan and support to do it!

Fantastic experience: Excellent space, never feels crowded. All the equipment one could need in a gym. The many plants on the windowsill add to the aesthetic and it's dog friendly!

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym with everything that you need and more. Great space & vibe, we came from another gym locally and this is hands down a much more friendly & welcoming place. Would recommend!

Fantastic experience: Great space, trainers and people.

Positive experience: Great facilities, can be hot in summer with no Aircon! The team on the desk are very good and helpful. A few of the personal trainers are not very friendly and can be selfish with equipment

Fantastic experience: I’ve struggled with scoliosis majority of my life, ever since Lauren directed me to Matt ( exercise physiologist ) I’ve no longer had these issues surrounding discomfort and fatigue. As Matt introduced me to exercise routines catered to my condition, I felt confident going into the gym as I could start to see positive change within the first couple weeks of our sessions. It’s been about 3-4 months with Matt and I’m no longer having issues with my back + I’ve gone full blown gym junkie. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Matt, my exercise physiologist, for rehab to get me back running. Couldn’t recommended more :)

Fantastic experience: I saw Joey at the performance centre, and can highly recommend his personal training. I struggle with back pain and am hesitant to enter gym environments for fear of injury - but Joey was very attentive and empathetic, changing exercises to suit my abilities and helping me to understand ways I can improve my strength and overall health. Thanks Joey!

Fantastic experience: Lauren and Matt have helped immensely in recovering from a long term lower back injury. Their diligence has resulted in a tailored plan to ensure that I will regain confidence and return to playing sport with such a detailed and personalised program. Thanks!!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Em and I can’t recommend her enough! The performance centre is so welcoming and everyone there is so friendly and helpful. I love seeing the occasional doggo as well!

Fantastic experience: Such a comfortable space with an excellent collection of equipment. Training with Em has been a much needed refresh for my fitness routine. Em is incredibly encouraging and personable!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training here with PT Emily for around 2 months and it’s the single most transformative thing I’ve done for my health and wellness. The gym is leafy, modern and never too busy. Everyone is friendly and polite, I’ve never had any gym bros give me advice or leer. I also appreciate that it is an LGBT+ friendly space. Would recommend to anyone looking for a no-frills gym with great personal training.

Fantastic experience: The Team at the performance centre are second to none! I received fantastic treatment and service by both Bianca and Dr Lauren, I honestly haven't felt that good after a treatment in years! The centre has such a great setup and so much extra value added with the addition of the gym to the facility!

Fantastic experience: Ben has been instrumental in getting me up and running for the Summer, with a strength and conditioning program that is both easy to understand, and a breeze to take to extra sessions unsupervised. The facilities are exactly what you need, and 24/7 accessible - Clean, Well-kept and the staff? Upbeat and approachable. Highly Recommend!

Fantastic experience: Picked up a new neck, top service and top advice at osteo. Also happy birthday Lola, best shop doggy!

Fantastic experience: Lauren and the team at TPC are absolute superstars. Such a friendly environment that combines all of your health needs in the same place! Everyone is super welcoming, especially the doggos, and the treatment is top quality!

Fantastic experience: I originally came to see Lauren because of a pretty serious shoulder injury. She quickly got me back on track from that, so I've also been coming in for regular tune-ups for anything that's not feeling quite right. I'm really active in my personal and professional life, and I've never felt better. She knows everything and is genuinely awesome to chat to during sessions. Aside from osteo treatments, she has physios, PTs, massage therapists and a full gym you can use 24/7. Treat yourself by letting Lauren and her team treat you!

Fantastic experience: I have been coming to The Performance Centre for osteopathy. I can’t say how much they have helped me. I wish I was coming to train as well. The space is amazing and the equipment is top class.

Fantastic experience: Great space for a workout, light bright and lovely staff! Bonus points for the cute dogs that pop in and out.

Fantastic experience: 10/10 gym, awesome space & vibe. Coaches & staff are all super lovely and welcoming. A really cool, gender & all-abilities inclusive gym! Love it team

Fantastic experience: I’ve been seeing Lauren for a couple years and she is amazing! I constantly challenge her with my different injuries as I’m a hairdresser & she always helps me on the day as well as giving me exercises to do between visits to help. Can’t recommend this place enough!

Fantastic experience: Lauren is a great osteo who can not only treat an immediate injury effectively, but also work through solutions to ensure it doesn't happen again! I feel like my performance at the gym has dramatically improved because of it! Definitely would recommend.

Fantastic experience: I hadn’t been to the gym in almost 10 years so I was nervous to get back into it but the whole team here has made it so enjoyable! I love my weekly sessions with Kiren and the personalised program she has created for me has been great and easy to follow. Jess at the front desk is so helpful and lovely to chat to! Great place all around!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been in to see Lauren and Matt and they are both amazing. Lauren is so thorough in what she does and Matt has given me some much needed confidence in the gym. Ily tpc

Fantastic experience: Pretty awesome Gym! It has a very warm, welcoming and friendly atmosphere. I highly recommend it!

Fantastic experience: This gym is absolutely awesome, could not ask for a more friendly, relaxed and well equipped environment to train in. The flexibility of it being 24/7 access and being able to stick your own music on when no one is around is great. Will be using this place for the remainder of my stay in Melbourne for sure!

Fantastic experience: Best place ever, best team ever I love the performance centre ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ this is my 10 star review

Fantastic experience: Great team of passionate people at TPC. It's become a great addition to my routine training there as well as having maintenance work over the last 18 or so months with Lauren.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Lauren and the team at TPC. Lauren is a fantastic osteo - she takes the time to listen, and doesn’t rush through appointments. The and the staff gym at TPC are so welcoming and it feels like a safe and inclusive place to train!

Fantastic experience: Lauren and the entire team at TPC are not only elite experts at what they do, but they're welcoming and truly do take a client centred approach to the care of their people. TPC is my home away from home

Fantastic experience: Lauren is a fantastic osteo who is not only great at diagnosing an injury but also treating it effectively. I’ve lost count of the times I’ve had to make an emergency dash to get Lauren to “fix me” when I’ve injured myself. She is great at ensuring she not only addresses the immediate symptoms so you get the pain relief, but also treating it and recommending exercises for the long term resolution of the issue. Lauren is the best!!! And if you’re lucky you might also get to see her adorable pup Lola!

Fantastic experience: Lauren is absolutely amazing she will help you restore your body and loosen up anything that’s tight or sore! Highly recommend if you need an osteo

Fantastic experience: Fun, friendly and exceptional communicators :)

Fantastic experience: Came to see Lauren for ongoing nervous system issues, not only were her adjustments spot on but the environment of the space was super welcoming and definitely doesn’t have the vibe of a gym, feels like I’m just coming to hang with mates when I come for my sessions! Highly recommend these guys

Fantastic experience: Always have a great experience at the Performance Centre! Great services and space. You might even meet miss Lola the little black lab or other doggo friends

Fantastic experience: I have been to see Lauren a couple of times with lower back issues. Lauren’s treatments have been exceptional and her knowledge and understanding is second to none. I have happily recommended Lauren and the team to friends knowing they’re in safe hands.

Fantastic experience: Awesome local place to workout in peace and with quality equipment!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love TPC and the brilliant staff. Coach Kiren has been fantastic and I couldn’t recommend her enough. The space is such a cool vibe and training there is exactly what I needed!

Fantastic experience: I've started training sessions with Joey and he's amazing!! I like his approach as a trainer as he is all about general wellness as well as helping to reach my fitness goals. The sessions have been fun and the programs he has created for me to do at home are easy to follow as he runs through all the exercises beforehand and provides videos and written descriptions of what to aim for. For the first time in forever I feel like I'm working out for improving my freedom of movement and I trust Joey to help me with keeping at it!

Fantastic experience: I found my Osteopath Lauren to be really attentive and provided me with a very comprehensive treatment (where other places can be limited and you can feel a bit rushed). Can defn recommend.

Fantastic experience: New to the gym environment, Joey Lai has been an empathetic and extremely personalised trainer at The Performance Centre. Joey makes the PT experience feel safe and accessible and is helping me tremendously in reconnecting with my body and discovering its strength.

Fantastic experience: I‘ve been seeing Chanel for a couple of months now and my lower back has never felt better. I’d definitely recommend scheduling an appointment as they also have a gym to use as part of treatment plans and personal training.

Fantastic experience: Great physio/osteo space with down-to-earth vibe. Plus they really know their stuff!

Fantastic experience: Lauren is incredibly professional and master of her craft. After two sessions with Lauren I am able to train pain free and the first time I've had mobility in a long time. Onwards and Upwards1

Fantastic experience: Such a great group of practitioners! Always wanting to help out and so knowledgeable!!

Fantastic experience: Went to an event hosted by Lauren, with a bunch of amazing guest speakers. A super welcoming and friendly event in a very aesthetically pleasing gym! Learnt ALOT at the time and gave me a lot to reflect on and keep in the back of my mind for the future.

Fantastic experience: Super lovely and very knowledgable staff

Fantastic experience: I had such a great experience with Lauren from the performance centre! This was my first ever experience with consistent lower back pain and Lauren was warm, astute, attentive and completely fixed my pain. She did a combination of short term therapy (including dry needling) to help with the pain and also gave me a program of exercises to help in the long term. Would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Recently started training at The Performance Centre. An easy place to workout with great coaches and great equipment. I have been training with Kiren, she’s been an amazing coach and made the transition back into the gym very enjoyable for me.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommended! Lauren has been helping me out with lower leg pain and I am very happy with my improvements. The staff are great, there is plenty of space with all the equipment you need and in a very good location. Will be coming back for sure

Fantastic experience: I couldn’t recommend Lauren and the team any higher. I had a knee injury that without Lauren’s help I wouldn’t be back playing sport and not needing surgery. The time and effort put in place to my recovery was amazing and really appreciate what they do.

Fantastic experience: Can't recommend TPC highly enough. A great team of highly skilled professionals who provide the best care available. Lauren & the team help keep my body performing at its best so I can keep kicking goals in the gym. Such a friendly, inclusive and inviting space (great plants), and the vibes are always on point!!

Fantastic experience: Lauren is an absolute delight and the centre vibes are immaculate. Ive found the coaches and practitioners to be extremely knowledgeable, but also extremely personable and down to earth. I also appreciate any space that has such cute doggos!!

Fantastic experience: Lauren and the team are the best! Gym is super clean and has everything you need. Can’t recommend it enough!

Fantastic experience: Only good experiences with everyone here! Lauren and Michael are great practitioners and Hugh is a fantastic trainer. Awesome facility.

Fantastic experience: Awesome facilities and expert knowledge! Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I’ve personally had experience with Lauren and Hugh, who are both great practitioners that genuinely care about your health and outcomes! The space is honestly unreal and has everything you need in one place - clinical rooms with all the rehabilitation and movement facilities that you need to succeed. Plus they often have a cute pup receptionist there who is always happy to see you!

Fantastic experience: The space is beautiful, open and clean. Lauren is honestly the best in the business. I use to have a pain in my pain I thought was apart of life and my profession (beauty therapist) but she helped show me tools to use at home & stretches to make a habit to live pain free!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic new setup that bridges the gap between your training and health professional. Lauren is an excellent osteo and running strength and conditioning work in parallel with treatment is valuable for preventing injury and performing at my best. Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: Excellent service and great space. Lauren is a fantastic & professional osteopath and has worked some great magic for my neck and back on many occasions. Would highly recommend !

Fantastic experience: Lauren is the queen of rehabilitation.
