Body World Gym

Fantastic experience: Fantastic

Fantastic experience: Great gym, great vibe, great equipment

Fantastic experience: Great facilities and staff. Was never over crowded and had every machine + more

Fantastic experience: One of the few gyms left with a soul. I have been benefitted for years by the advice of staff and personal trainers on how to better my training. I go here and am treated like family, as is everyone who walks through the door.

Fantastic experience: Good machinery/customer service

Negative experience: Alright gym, small but does the job. Staff are friendly when they get to know you overall had a ok experience there but what really let it down was the fact I rung up to cancel my direct debit as im backpacking Australia east coast and was moving on and they said it had been cancelled but didn’t tell me on the phone that I had to email them as well, so money came out of my account a couple days after and they wouldn’t refund me it even though it was their fault with miss communication. Disgusting. Such a shame to end my 2 months here, especially when I’m on a budget and budgeted this into my everyday living.

Fantastic experience: My son likes it there.

Positive experience: Great gym but not great music for working out and it is too loud to hear my own music

Fantastic experience: This definitely is an old school gym. Great atmosphere, staff are always make you feel at home. There is plenty of equipment you never have to wait to use any matchine or weight.

Fantastic experience: Arrrived in Melbourne today and so fortunate to find this gym for a drop in workout. Kato/Cato at the front desk was so friendly and welcoming. Lots space, well used clean equipment and very good pricing. Look forward to my next work out there.

Fantastic experience: It's StKilda's hidden secret for people who want to seriously want to lift weights.

Fantastic experience: Bruce is old school and real as they should be in this era of social media marketing scams . He is kind compassionate and knows what he is talking about

Fantastic experience: Great gym, Pru was such a kind caretaker!

Fantastic experience: Gym good.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been to a few gyms around St kilda over the past 10 years and this is by far my favourite. Pricing is great, Atmosphere is awesome and all the staff are so friendly and helpful. I love the happy welcome from Bruce every morning. Makes my day. Easy 5 stars from me.

Fantastic experience: This is the gym! Great machines and a great atmosphere created by the staff who are friendly and helpful. Couldnt reccomend a gym more

Fantastic experience: I've been a member of this nice local gym for two years before relocating to Adelaide, and I've left there with heaps of good memories, including 28kg of weight loss LOL. The staff was lovely and super friendly. The gym was always clean and the equipment was well-maintained.

Negative experience: Very poor management.

Fantastic experience: I am a Brit and was visiting St Kilda for two weeks. I was made to feel very welcome by Bruce and his team.

Negative experience: Doesn’t deserve the one star.

Negative experience: Terrible management. Avoid!

Fantastic experience: Best gym ever

Fantastic experience: It's perfectly true what they're saying - this is a place with soul - super-nice, down-to-earth staff and members! I've trained at many gyms both in Australia and overseas, and Body World would have to be the one with the best vibe of all. Plus they've got all the key free weights and machines you need. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Bruce and Kerryn are legends. Equipped with solid machines and affordable memberships prices, this is the perfect gym for locals, a gym with soul. Thanks!!

Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere, great machines and equipment. A must visit gym

Fantastic experience: My missus and I walked in for a couple hours of casual exercise and it was great! Doug warmly welcomed us, and showed us around the well-equipped and well-maintained gym. Vibes were fantastic, too--a fellow customer showed us how to use a mean leg press machine. Thanks for having us, we'll definitely be back next time!

Negative experience: Well, this gym says: " old school gym" But I really don't think so. If you are a guy looking for a really heavy workout with heavy dumbbells, this gym must not be for you. If you want to train till failure and eventually dropping the weights because you just spent your whole energy. They will ask you to not be "loud". I was literally kicked out from this gym in a really rude way, just because I want to train hard. So just avoid this gym.

Fantastic experience: Best gym in St Kilda! Staff are friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. They have a ton of equipment, and the machines are custom-made! Really reasonable prices as well, can't recommend enough.

Positive experience: Nice gym, interesting people.

Fantastic experience: Pleasant

Fantastic experience: The atmosphere here is great, this place feels exactly an OG bodybuilding gym straight out of an 80s Arnie movie, and training here WILL make you feel like Arnie himself. If that doesn't appeal to you, you are dead inside and I don't want to be your friend

Fantastic experience: Huge choice of good quality equipment, super friendly and welcoming staff, decent price membership - highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Great gym with everything you need. All the equipment is well maintained and relatively clean. A day pass is eight bucks.

Fantastic experience: Came here for a course - traditional gym, good equipment if you're a powerlifter and need platforms and decent plates as they have the st kilda powerlifting club here :)

Fantastic experience: Love the old school vibes at Bodyworld! Great gym, the staff are always wonderful and inviting and all fellow gym goers are extremely respectful (and always put weights away after use). Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Amazing range of equipment, super friendly community and positive training environment, great music. Proper old school true gym vibe which is sorely missed everywhere else it seems. What more could you want? New favourite for sure - doesn't matter if you're local or have to travel across Melbourne for it, it's worth a visit at least once.

Fantastic experience: Very genuine & friendly staff. First time I've trained in a gym and first time I've had a PT session. Harley is down to earth, keeps his guidance/instructions simple & made me feel really comfortable from the get go. He even followed up with a text asking how my body was feeling the next day. Great service. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Awesome equipment and large setting that is never overcrowded. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Stuck in the 80s but in a good way. Bruce- the owner, is usually around to help you out. There’s a real community feel there. Great old school gym. Just no air con, so make sure to skip out on going here during the heat wave.

Fantastic experience: Old school gym, everything in pounds. Love it

Fantastic experience: Best free weights gym in Melbourne

Positive experience: A no nonsense bars and iron institution

Fantastic experience: Exactly how a gym is MEANT TO BE. Great environment to train because nobody stares at you or makes you feel uncomfortable. Very friendly staff and best part is no air conditioning!! Great clean toilets with lockers and change rooms. They have a little pantry with blenders for your shakes, and a sink to wash it off later. Free coffee as well! If you’re lucky, you’ll get free bananas too.

Fantastic experience: Great gym. Members and staff are very friendly and welcoming.

Fantastic experience: Attended the old Camberwell one. Was amazing there, this one slightly smaller but all the same otherwise. Great atmosphere. All the greats on the wall, historical photos, spent half the time chatting with the owner and looking around. Equipment is old school and effective. Machines you wont find in a franchise gym. Cardio area. Free lockers, just leave your keys or ID. Thoroughly recommend, if you're looking for a casual session it's only $10. On the top floor so no good for wheelchairs.

Fantastic experience: Great "no bull" gym, great staff great vibe. To easy.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic old school gym!!

Positive experience: A great family gym with a positive environment and friendly people...not to mention good old fashioned IRON weights.

Fantastic experience: Best gym in St Kilda

Fantastic experience: great strength training gym, plenty of free weights and some real big friendly guys willing to stop their workout to spot you and give you training advice

Fantastic experience: Great gym for whatever you want to train. Plenty of barbells, dumbbells, racks and platforms, plus staff they know what they are talking about.

Fantastic experience: Friendly Staff, Great Atmosphere and good prices

Fantastic experience: Old school free weights with lots of helpful people.

Fantastic experience: Home away from home...love the people, love the environment...my kind of gym!

Fantastic experience: A real, no frills gym for all types of people - including power lifters. Lots of free weights, olympic barbells, deadlift platforms, squat racks and benches. Truly how gyms should be.

Fantastic experience: From what I've experienced at other gyms, people mainly stick to themselves, barely speaking to each other and the only time staff members will speak to you is when they are trying to sell you something. THIS IS NOT THE CASE AT BODY WORLD. I cannot stress how nice it is to come in, either as a regular or first time, the guys that work here are really nice and helpful, because thats the kind of people they are. There is always someone there that is down for a chat and a joke and it makes for a really nice atmosphere. Recommend highly for people who are looking for a gym in the area.
