DeakinACTIVE Burwood Fitness Centre: Opinions

4/5 (41 Opinions)

Positive experience: Cooling woefully inadequate in Summer. Please extend Saturday hours to 4pm. Lockable lockers would be a bonus.

Thank you for your feedback missgenwhy. We’ll take your comments about the cooling and extended Saturday hours into consideration. Lockable lockers are also something we’ll look into for future improvements. We appreciate you sharing your thoughts, and we hope to welcome you back soon!

Ashwin Sridhar 11 months ago

Positive experience: I understand it is a university gym but the operating hours are abysmal (it is also open to public) It closes at 2pm on a Saturday smh It gets insanely packed at peak hours. With the weekly cost at such a price point, I expect it to be open on public holidays. A bit disappointing

Thank you for your feedback Ashwin, we genuinely appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. We understand your concerns about operating hours and peak-time crowding and recognise that this may not meet everyone’s expectations, especially if you're seeking more flexibility like a 24/7 gym. As a university facility, our operating hours are structured to balance accessibility for both students and the public, but we’re always open to reviewing this based on community input. Your comments about public holiday closures and peak hour congestion will be shared with our team as we strive to improve the experience for all members. Thank you again for sharing your perspective, and we hope you find a gym option that best suits your needs. If there's anything else you'd like to discuss or suggest, we’d love to hear from you!

Negative experience: I've been frustrated with them when booking the courts. They canceled my booking that I made 1 week in advance because of some sudden uni event. I had 12 people coming over for the booking. Absolutely unprofessional

Sara Vargovic 1 year ago

Positive experience: The space in nice, staff friendly, not too much equipment choices, especially if you come during the peak hours. The working times during the weekend are disappointing. And the gym is not open during the public holidays. It’s a shame as it would definitely bring a lot of people in. Sometimes the cleanliness of a common/ stretch area is not up to the standard which for a gym and that amount of visitors is not healthy to say the least.

Isobel Georgeson 1 year ago

Positive experience: Great equipment (uses Technogym), but at certain times (4-7pm especially) the gym is so packed that sometimes you can’t even use a treadmill. The classes that are run here are amazing and inclusive to all fitness levels. Unfortunately the gym is only open for short hours on weekends, but it makes sense as it is on the university.

Fantastic experience: It was a pleasure for me to recently join Deakin Active , and I must say that it has been a fantastic experience from the beginning. This gym truly lives up to its name by offering a comprehensive fitness haven that satisfies a variety of fitness objectives. You are welcomed by a tidy and contemporary environment as soon as you enter, which immediately sets the mood for an excellent workout session. You'll never have to wait to use your prefered machine or weights thanks to the excellent, well-maintained, and ample equipment. The outstanding staff distinguishes Deakin Active . Along with being extremely knowledgeable, the trainers are also very approachable and encouraging.

Jen 2 years ago

Negative experience: Wouldn’t allow me to extend the program I bought and hadn’t had a chance to use and wouldn’t allow me to get a refund despite me having already paid $159. As a new member who was unfamiliar with how the memberships work I found it very disappointing that they were unwilling to be accomodating to me.

Hi Jen, sorry to hear you didn't have a great experience. The 'Fit for Summer' pass was not a membership and was sold with a use by date to access the gym across the summer. You still have until April to use the gym and facilities. Hope to see you soon

Negative experience: Way too busy. Can never access the equipment you want. Full of entitled A-holes who leave their stuff on equipment so nobody else can use it. Hours are awful Toilets/showers are disgusting Went here for 3 years bc it's cheaper. Do not regret leaving one bit.

Fantastic experience: Good place for Deakin students to engage in exercise here. I feel excited every time working out there. p.s. There is a thin barbell which is super friendly for small-hand guy (like me) to do deadlifts.
