BFT Abbotsford: Opinions
Fantastic experience: I really enjoy the friendly and encouraging community at BFT- Abbortsford. The program is balanced and varied so you don’t get bored. I have been able to exceed training expectations.
Fantastic experience: I always look forward to my workout here every day!!!
Fantastic experience: LOVE this gym! Coaches are motivating, helpful and friendly and they go out of their way to male sure you feel included.
Fantastic experience: Great gym, awesome trainers
Fantastic experience: Came here for a session while travelling for work. Sometimes going to different BFT studios can be confronting - but the trainers were so nice & friendly and made my friend and I feel so welcome straight off the bat! They corrected form in an encouraging way and never made us feel silly! I’m not one for reviews but seriously they were great, go James & Steve! Will be back every time I come down to Melb
Fantastic experience: A great community gym. I was visiting from out of town and felt welcome by trainers and members alike.
Fantastic experience: Great gym. Amazing trainers and people
Fantastic experience: I travel slightly out of my way to attend Abbotsford bft when I can. Trainers are great, really welcoming and encouraging in the sessions. Im quite new to alphington area but its already one of the better bfts I've been to
Fantastic experience: Absolutely love BFT Abbotsford! The team are amazing, super friendly and supportive. It feels like a very inclusive gym. Alway have felt very welcomed.
Fantastic experience: 11/10. Of all the group training gyms I've trained at, BFT Abbotsford is by far the most welcoming. The style of workout is super enjoyable, and the trainers have been so supportive and attentive of my progress, effort and technique. They make the effort to ensure I'm pushing myself and with correct form. If you're in the area, I cannot recommend this club highly enough.
Fantastic experience: Excellent place to train with supportive trainers and great culture. Would recommend.
Fantastic experience: Cannot recommend this gym highly enough. The trainers are fantastic, they truly care about their members and it shows with the great community they've built. Have thoroughly enjoyed the last 7 months at BFT Abbotsford!
Fantastic experience: I have loved the experience here from day 1. Lovely and super motivating trainers, as well as as super friendly other gym goers. I've tried a number of other HIIT/other style gyms before and easily found this the most sustainable. The mix of pure strength training (i.e. 4 lifts over about an hour, which I never did before) and cardio & HIIT makes 4-5 gym sessions a week achievable without draining you. The 8 Week Challenge (8WC) was the perfect reset with the right amount of accountability and support, whilst not being too hard core. I was lucky enough to lose 4kg and 5% body fat , and watch my fitness markedly improve (not a paid add!). The changes the 8WC helped me implement are being carried forward into my day to day life. Come and try it if unsure, I promise you, you will not regret both the gains or the relative expense:) :)
Fantastic experience: A truly incredible gym and community- I’ve loved being a member here for the last 7 months and was hugely impressed by the high level of professionalism, knowledge & welcoming nature of the trainers!
Fantastic experience: I have nothing but great things to say about BFT! I’ve found the 8WC and training / nutrition plans very effective and have helped me create good habits and level of strength/fitness. BFT Abbotsford is a wonderful place to train, with great trainers, a lovely community and great location too. Can’t recommend highly enough.
Fantastic experience: The design of BFT's programs provides a blend of continuity and variation, which allows people to observe their own growth and work towards goals, while also keeping everyone interested and engaged. People of all fitness levels feel appropriately challenged, and the environment is mutually supportive. The trainers, in particular James and Lachie, display great communication skills - they push people to work their hardest and provide constructive feedback where needed. I've been to over 200 classes now! I particularly enjoy the strength blocks but enjoy the variety of classes and challenging exercises.
Fantastic experience: Love this place and by far the best gym I’ve ever joined. All of the coaches are amazing but a special shout out to Lachie and James who go above and beyond to make you feel welcome, keep you motivated, give great coaching advice and most of all make the sessions fun. If you’re local and looking for a great fitness community, then check it out
Fantastic experience: Most supportive and enjoyable gym I’ve ever been apart of. Super knowledgeable and helpful coaches that have helped me become way more confident with certain lifts and to challenge myself in my training. Love the variation of classes + the lovely friends I’ve made here is the icing on the cake.
Fantastic experience: I just moved out of Richmond and the saddest part was to say goodbye to the team at BFT Abbotsford! Everyone there is super lovely, classes are always fun and the trainers are always around helping you improve your technique and pushing you harder. I'm really enjoying the BFT classes and I am planning to check out my new studio, but if you live around Richmond or Abbostford, do yourself a favour and go check it out!
Fantastic experience: I Joined BFT 8months ago after moving from NZ and having never done group fitness style workouts. It has been one of the best things I have done and so great to chat with people inbetween exercises. The team at BFT abbotsford are so amazing and welcoming and made me feel comfortable from the minute I joined. Everything is always well explained at the start of class even when I zone out during talk time, they’re always there to remind me what I’m doing. Highly recommend BFT to anyone whether you’re starting out your fitness journey or a pro, it really caters for all levels! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Fantastic experience: Joining BFT Abbotsford has been a life-changer for me. The balance between strength and conditioning classes here is just perfect - it’s tailored to make you stronger for your everyday life, while noticeably improving your physique. What makes this gym truly special is the community - it’s supportive, encouraging and driven by trainers who are not only experts but also incredibly motivating. Personally, my back pain, which once was a daily challenge, was completely gone after just one month of training. Whether you’re a beginner or seasoned in fitness, this gym fits all needs. It’s not just about workouts; it’s a journey towards better health and strength, both mental and physical, with a great group of people supporting you every step of the way. I cannot recommend BFT Abbotsford enough !
Fantastic experience: Absolute epic studio!! Throughly enjoyed training at BFT Abbotsford classes are an absolute vibe with extremely knowledgeable trainers
Fantastic experience: Another awesome BFT and only just around the corner. Why BFT? I don't understand why you wouldn't!
Fantastic experience: I've trained at a few different BFTs now and the Abbotsford team is by far my favourite - the trainers here are amazing with the perfect mix of challenging and fun! They genuinely care for their members and I've always looked forward to coming to classes here- would recommend to anyone looking for somewhere to train.
Fantastic experience: I haven’t been to many other BFTs but I can say: this is a great branch lead with expertise, passion and heart. I’ve been with BFT Abbotsford for over a year, took part in two 8 weeks challenges and went there quite regularly overall. It has a great community feeling with a lot of regulars. Although I am moving on to get a different fitness input and mix it up, I’m likely to come back sometime next year. BFTs have a standardised programming of more or less equal split of cardio and strength classes. Sometimes it tends to be a little bit more cardio-heavy during the 8 weeks challenges for instance. So up to every individual to decide if that’s right for them or not.
Fantastic experience: BFT Abbotsford is more than just a gym, its a community. I have been to many different gyms over the years but what keeps me coming back is the people. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming and make you feel comfortable. They push you to your limits and keep you motivated to want to achieve your goals!
Thanks so much Victoria! Looking forward to seeing you back shortly(:
Fantastic experience: Best Bodyfit I’ve trained at!
Fantastic experience: Excellent challenging classes in a great venue and with the most welcoming bunch of trainers!
Fantastic experience: Such a supportive and fun-loving community! The coaches are personable and professional. The classes are tough (esp cardio) but no doubt you'll leave the gym with a smile.
Fantastic experience: Been at BFT Abbotsford for a little over 6-months and loved every minute! The atmosphere with fellow class goers and coaches is unreal, with a super encouraging and energetic atmosphere. If fitness and fun is something you’re looking for, they’ve got you well and truely covered!
Fantastic experience: 3 years ago I joined this epic community and I haven’t looked back since. As soon as walking in through the doors you already feel the vibe. The trainers are next level. The community are amazing. I travel 20-30 mins every morning just to get amongst the Abbotsfam and I wouldn’t change it any other way! I’ve made some epic friends along the way which make you feel right at home! It just makes your morning/day or whatever class you do just that exciting. It’s not just the trainers but it’s the community that keeps you accountable for your fitness needs. Challenging each other to go the next level. You can’t go wrong training here!
Fantastic experience: Joining BFT Abbotsford was the best decision I have ever made! The community in the gym is so amazing and welcoming. The trainers are so knowledgeable and caring, and you can tell the trainers are actually passionate about the clients progress and fitness.

Fantastic experience: Fab gym with great trainers, you’ll really see a difference working out here
Fantastic experience: This place is more than a gym; it’s a community where everyone - members and trainers alike - celebrate in your achievements, are welcoming with no judgments at all and create a fun environment where I’ve made some amazing friends. When I first started here, I was so nervous because I was terribly unfit and afraid of being judged. But I have felt so comfortable here, and feel so much better about myself and my fitness - in fact, I think I’m the fittest I’ve ever been in my life! The BFT program, which is progression based, allows you to track your improvements. And you do improve! The heart rate monitoring also keeps you accountable, and the trainers will do that for you as well!
Fantastic experience: Fantastic place! Great atmosphere, staff and members
Fantastic experience: I have been going to BFT Abbortsford for a bit over 2 years now and it is easily my favorite gym I have ever been to. All of the trainers are lovely and very approachable and welcoming. The space itself is massive and the equipment is all of a high standard. I have been to a few different BFT studios and in my opinion, the Abbotsford one easily has the best vibes, space and equipment. The community and vibe are what ultimately makes this gym superior to others for me. Would highly recommend this gym to anyone of any fitness level.
You're the best Liv <3

Fantastic experience: BFT Abbottsford are like a family! Training there is always fun and the trainers are so supportive in every way! In and out of the gym!

Fantastic experience: Have been going here for around 6 months. Started off coming casually and had intended to stay that way but quickly upgraded to full time membership as I was enjoying it so much and trainers are so good. Have seen and felt results in 6 months. This is the first gym/studio that I've been to that actually has a genuine community feel and vibe. Always look forward to next session!
Fantastic experience: With so many choices for gyms, BFT Abbotsford is a stand out. I love the BFT model of training mixing up cardio and strength, creating a community. BFT Abbotsford though has created a vibrant fun environment that makes you actually look forward to train. The key is the trainers. They find the magic mix of challenging you but encouraging you to smile have some fun. What I find they do extremely well is helping you on exercise form. Great technical expertise delivered in a supportive way that builds your confidence. I feel they genuinely care and will celebrate (possibly with a few dance moves) every step in your training journey.
Fantastic experience: Fun workouts. Great instructors. Always flexible and accomodating if you have any injuries. Doggo friendly too - with a little secured courtyard.

Fantastic experience: This atmosphere provides me with the group mentality that I am looking for to be able to excel in my own fitness aspirations. The training incorporates individual abilities whilst ensuring we perform at our best both mentally and physically. The cost is marginal for group personal training compared to what private personal training is. I wouldn't change a thing about this studio

They go the extra mile, even keeping it fun and engaging during lockdown. I am already addicted and am proud to say that I think fitness is going to be a staple part of my life for the first time ever.
