North Shore Gym

Fantastic experience: Great long time gym. The classes are mostly full so you have to book them now, but the majority of them are included in your access fee. Super friendly staff and a great community of people. Definitely one of the better gyms around (if not the best!) My son has also recently started going to NSG and we have found the PT's work great with him. It has really helped his confidence and gives him a great outlet while studying. Cannot recommend getting yourself (and your kids) into some regular exercise - the mental health benefits are huge, and NSG is the perfect place to do it!

Fantastic experience: LOVE training at NSG. Always super friendly staff on the front desk to greet me and I can always find space in the weights section to do my training. It’s a really comfortable, inclusive and friendly place to train. PT sessions with Ellie were great if you’re looking for personalised training. Really enjoyed the private sauna room (you need to book + it’s an additional cost on top of membership, but worth it!). Only thing I’ve had an issue with is parking - I find you need to get there early in the morning - between 6-7:30am seem to be peak times - otherwise you may not find a parking spot. Only happened to me a handful of times. All in all, a great gym with everything I need, friendly, helpful staff and a real sense of community amongst the members. EDIT - After posting this review, Ben came up to me to offer me some great solutions for when I’m struggling to find a park. He was so friendly and grateful for the kind words in my review - total legend!

Negative experience: I would, quite often, go to their cafe for toast and coffee. However, they’ve raised some of their prices by 60%. Not even inflation is that high.

Negative experience: Heading into North Shore Gym’s weights pit feels like diving into a pool, but instead of water, it’s just thick, muggy air. Working out there is a test of lung capacity more than strength. Legend has it the owner’s too stingy to turn on the aircon, probably because he’s in a long-standing feud with the electric company or genuinely believes we all need a taste of hot yoga during our deadlifts. The bathrooms? Picture a scene from an archaeological dig, except instead of discovering ancient artifacts, you find tiles begging for retirement. They’re a tribute to the 60s, and not in a cool, vintage way. The equipment might just have been there since the gym’s grand opening—whenever that was. Let’s just say if the machines and free weights could talk, they’d have some interesting tales from the past century. Located in Sydney’s posh North Shore, you’d expect a fitness palace, but it feels more like a forgotten rugby club’s back room. It’s as if the owner, Ronnie, is playing a game of “how vintage can we go before it’s just a museum?” Bright side? The young staff at the front desk are rays of sunshine in this otherwise gloomy time capsule, and Kate the barista is the unsung hero of this saga, serving coffee so divine it momentarily transports you to a better place. Ronnie, mate, it’s great you’ve got the biggest gym around, but maybe it’s time to splash some cash on more than just the square footage. How about an aircon that works and a trip to this century for the bathrooms and gear? Your members will thank you—once they stop gasping for air, that is.

Fantastic experience: Ella on the front desk was so helpful and thank you for the 50% off sale, great for busy people like me that might not have time to get to the gym a lot :)

Fantastic experience: Great community atmosphere Love the group classes

Fantastic experience: Best gym I have ever been to. The gym is kept always on point clean and tidy. It is spacious and equipped and there are plenty of different types of classes. The staff is always helpful and kind. However, what really makes the difference with this gym is a unique and precious relationship between trainers and the people that come here. This is not only a gym this is a strong beautiful powerful community that embraces everyone. It's amazing and I am proud to be part of it ! Come and join! ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND!

Fantastic experience: Joining this Gym was one of my best decisions of this year. Amazing layout and equipment variety, ample parking, spacious area and open windows ! and I absolutely love the weight area with the bare ceiling concrete. But the most important factor is the people you'd meet hear both members and attendants. I'm somehow an uncomfortable introvert but I definitely feel relaxed and happy in this gym. Thank you.

Fantastic experience: Great gym , lovely owner , lovely staff, and great range of equipment

Fantastic experience: north shore gym is the best gym i’ve ever been to!!! everyone there is so friendly and supportive, and the classes are the best!!

Fantastic experience: An amazing gym with phenomenal facilities! The staff and group classes are so motivating and the range of equipment is HUGE! Would highly recommend this gym to anyone on the North Shore!! Definitely bang for your buck at NSG!

Fantastic experience: couldn't fault NSG, such a great community and everything you need facility wise. 10/10 !!

Fantastic experience: I went here a couple of weeks ago and the equipment is clean. There is a lot of selection. Gets the job done. Not too expensive. One of best gyms I have been to. Recommend if you want a place to begin your hot girl(or guy or beyond the binary) summer

Fantastic experience: Best gym in the area, good layout, good variety of equipment and classes. The outdoor HIIT area is great. Friendly staff and community. One minor downside is that even though there is a lot of parking spots sometimes it can be tricky at peak/evening times especially at the start of the week, but that's standard for a popular gym

Fantastic experience: Great equipment and gym environment! Also always bringing new and improved equipment.

Fantastic experience: North shore gym have set a new benchmark for gyms in Sydney with their pymble location. Quite honestly the best gym I’ve ever trained at nationally and internationally. Reception is fantastic, always with a smile. Weights area is second to none. Only thing I’d recommend is it’s time to move away from $2 deposit needed for locker room. 10/10

Fantastic experience: Easily the best gym in the area. After being a member of a well known franchise gym for 8 years (sick and tired of their run down gyms and lack of care) I decided to give NSG a try! The equipment is amazing, the gym actually has working air conditioning (shock horror), they have epic classes, and staff member Sophia was an absolute legend, with such an energetic positive vibe. Give this place a go, you’ll kick yourself for not coming here sooner.

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym. Great classes, good teachers, welcoming reception staff and clean facilities

Fantastic experience: Great gym facilities. Very friendly staff and trainers. Good parking and a very good cafe.

Fantastic experience: I started working as an exercise physiologist out of North Shore Gym at the beginning of this year. The culture and friendliness of this gym is second to none. From the get go I felt completely comfortable and welcome. The warm community has provided a safe, fun and non-judgemental environment for anyone and everyone to exercise. Couldn't recommend this gym enough - not to mention how kitted out it is with equipment!

Fantastic experience: North Shore Gym is the most welcoming and fun gym I have ever been in. Despite having every piece of equipment you could ever want in a gym, the non- judgemental and inclusive culture that Ben and his team have created makes North Shore Gym such a great place to be. Definitely check it out!

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym, location and parking facilites. The service from the staff is superb - where they always greet you with your first name (if you're a member) and a beautiful smile. Staff are very helpful. Great team of PTs as well. We have been training with a couple of the PTs (Lina and Searle) for 2 years and they are amazing. I have had the odd issue with parking - might be due to the neighbouring commercial facilites. Much better than FF and other chains out there. Would benefit from having sauna and steam facilites onsite.

Fantastic experience: North Shore Gym is your one stop destination for all things health and fitness. They have an extensive range of cardio and weight machines. There is a great team of PTs. They also have Pilates, yoga and other fitness classes. The reception staff always greets you with a friendly smile

Fantastic experience: The only gym worth going to if you live in the North Shore area.

Fantastic experience: Great facilities and fun team team to work with

Fantastic experience: Love this Gym! They have all the equipment you could ever want or need. I’m doing leg rehabilitation and they have been incredibly helpful and kind by making sure I’m using the machinery properly. Can highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: This is very good gym. Big with lots of gear and training options. A major and growing issue is parking. There is a car park but no where enough places at busy times. Street parking is very limited and timed. This is a major negative. They have implemented Covid protocols. And have new equipment. Plus pilates studio planned for 2022. Parking remains a big issue at busy times.New colour scheme is an update. Now has reforma pilates classes. And have add a sauna.A great gym but very popular, classes get crowded and booked out.

Fantastic experience: Great place to train, staff are friendly and attentive and the price is very reasonable.

Positive experience: Well-equipped gym with plenty of great facilities.

Fantastic experience: Great equipment and nice services.

Fantastic experience: Great gym and atmosphere, one of the best gyms on the north shore

Fantastic experience: Great gym there is this one guy i think his name is ritvik, always drops the weights too loud, i would avoid this guy, apart from that great gym.

Fantastic experience: There’s simply no better Gym that this one! Independently owned and operated + 30 years

Fantastic experience: I feel like this gym is my oasis to work out. They have different areas so you can always find a spot that suits. Staff are always fantastic. Personal trainers are nice. General manager is fantastic. Owners are great. My favorite gym. Thanks to all there.

Fantastic experience: This is the best gym. It has a massive range of fantastic equipment, loads of classes that are great fun, and a cafe that does amazing coffee! The staff are all so friendly and always up for a chat and they are so informative. Definitley the best gym to go to for a good time and to improve on your fitness!

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym. Very friendly staff, the size of the place is incredible and there is plenty of great equipment. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Great variety and quality of classes, nice staff

Fantastic experience: Best gym ever. The equipment is great. The staff are awesome. This is the ‘go to’ gym. Period.

Fantastic experience: Best Gym in the North Shore hands down

Positive experience: Music for 25 year olds, played loudly:Average age about 60 . Think again management Too lazy to post online opening times on public holidays. Today is boxing day and it says"Opening times may vary on boxing day". I think it is closed- no answer to phone Otherwise , not too bad a gym

Positive experience: Plenty of equipment, more than enough weights. Good parking facilities. Prices are too high for what is offered especially due to the EXTENDED periods of closure over ANY holiday period. You almost need a second membership if you plan on any sort of regular training over Christmas and new year. Good little cafe for coffee, snacks and shakes. Staff are friendly and helpful.

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love this gym! It’s clean, has all the equipment you can think of, all sorts of classes, child minding facility (that’s free and the ladies are amazing!) the staffs are great, members are polite, decent and self motivated! It’s a true portray of our lane cove community.

Negative experience: The worst gym I have ever been to. The biggest rip off and watch out for their exit fees.

Fantastic experience: Great activity throughout with the new timetable

Fantastic experience: This Gym has built a great community, the classes are awesome and I love the outdoor training area and the Olympic platforms!

Fantastic experience: Great culture, great equipment and fairly priced.

Positive experience: Good gym

Positive experience: Very loud music Facilities excellent

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym, great facilities and brilliant trainers.

Positive experience: Too expensive

Positive experience: $80 a month gets you a large and well-equipped (if somewhat-squeezed) weight room, plenty of cardio equipment, a good range and schedule of group fitness classes (including Les Mills and Spin) with experienced instructors, a functional-fitness balcony, and access to the Lane Cove sister gym. Not a 24-hour gym, but hours are reasonably extended. Cleaners do however use open times to do some of their work. There's never a queue for equipment, and only infrequently a wait, most often on the two power-cages, which are now also used for low-rack work. Weight room culture isn't macho or pro, welcoming to all users. Other than yoga, group fitness classes aren't crowded. There's a good amount of off-street and on-street parking, though in peak times one may have to park some way up the street, where there's also a council car park. Ad-free dance-pop plays at a not-overpowering volume. Staff are very friendly, but aren't that good on feedback. Most of my numerous queries and suggestions over the years weren't acknowledged, and none were actioned. Facebook is the current focus of online interaction, where members are rallied with regular fitness competitions. However Facebook's sunshine and rainbows Like-culture does make it hard to raise anything substantial without seeming to be a whinger.

Fantastic experience: A great gym, with friendly staff, good equipment and a large number of fitness classes.

Positive experience: Excellent gym - really friendly and helpful staff. The options to work out are very broad - spin, boxing, weights, all the usual cardio machines, zumba, yoga - you name it. And it never seems to be crowded - not like cbd gyms I've been to. Personally, I'm not a fan of the piped music, but all gyms have this I think - seems to be mandatory. I have to bring my own music to drown out the piped stuff. Also, the equipment is a little aged here and there, but it's all pretty clean and hygienic. These aren't criticisms - just what's holding me back from giving 5 stars. Great gym and I'd recommend it to anyone. Very well priced as well.
