The Woodshed

Negative experience: I tried the 10-day trial at Woodshed, but unfortunately, my experience wasn’t great. The gym was extremely crowded, making it difficult to get a good workout. The trainer who came around to check on my form just said, ‘Yeah, good job,’ even though I wasn’t doing much, which didn’t feel very helpful. The atmosphere wasn’t very welcoming, and I felt uncomfortable. I was hoping for some guidance in setting goals, but no one asked about my fitness targets. It felt like you just come in, do your workout, and leave, no follow-up or engagement. Maybe I just had a bad experience, but since there was no follow-up or contact from the staff, it seemed like they didn’t really care, perhaps because the gym is already packed.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Danny Costello as a Personal Trainer. His skills and experience are unmatched. Never a dull session. I've been seeing him for many years and recommended him to friends who have also had the same great results.

Fantastic experience: I'm giving this place a 5 star because they get you results if you are consistent with your practice and because Jack Neep (one of the best PT'S) there is amazing and is so good at his job! He genuinely has the best relationships with his clients and it makes you so much more motivated to keep coming back and working out even if you feel so damn sore . I like how this gym is super focused on small group training sessions with weights and good machines/equipment.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of The Woodshed since November 2022 and I cannot express how thrilled I am with this gym and my personal trainer, Dan! This place truly embodies what a fitness haven should be. From the moment I walked through the doors, I was greeted with warm smiles and a contagious positive energy that instantly made me feel at home. The Woodshed is more than just a gym; it's a community. The atmosphere here is incredibly friendly, and the staff and fellow members create an environment that motivates and supports each other on their fitness journeys. It's refreshing to be part of such a positive and uplifting space, where everyone is genuinely invested in each other's success. Since starting my training with Dan, I have experienced remarkable progress in my fitness goals. Dan is not only an exceptional personal trainer but also a great motivator and coach. He possesses a wealth of knowledge and expertise, and he tailors my workouts specifically to my needs and abilities. With his guidance, I have been able to push myself further than I ever thought possible. Training with Dan twice a week has been a game-changer for me. He keeps the sessions engaging and challenging, and his passion for fitness is truly infectious. He pushes me to surpass my limits while ensuring that I maintain proper form and technique to prevent injuries. Dan's unwavering dedication to my success and his ability to adapt workouts to my progress have been instrumental in my continued growth. The facilities at The Woodshed are top-notch. The gym is always impeccably clean and well-maintained, with a wide range of equipment available to cater to different workout preferences. The variety of classes offered is impressive, and the instructors are knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Whether you're into weightlifting, cardio, or group fitness classes, The Woodshed has it all. Thank you, Dan, and the entire Woodshed team, for creating such a positive and inspiring fitness environment.

Fantastic experience: I've been training at The Woodshed for 18 months now and always love the positive, welcoming vibe of the classes. Jack always pushes you hard in the strength classes and PT sessions, and the HIIT room is always a huge sweat fest. The great sense of community at the shed makes it more than just a gym.

Fantastic experience: Best decision ever to start personal training with Dan at the Woodshed. I needed someone to help me start my journey to better fitness and health. Dan’s been great and the facilities are first rate.

Fantastic experience: The woodshed is amazing. Great Personal trainers available (my favourite is Daniel Markworth). The facilities are incredibly clean and high end equipment. Not only this I have seen great results from my training. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: The team at The Woodshed are all amazing and knowledgeable. Bec has been my PT for the last 10 months and I have never felt better about myself. I’m stronger, fitter and healthier than I’ve ever been. She knows how much to push me to get the best out of me. She is a caring and kind person who has taken the time to get to know me and not just be my PT. I highly recommend Bec or any of the trainers at The Woodshed to anyone who is looking for PT or group classes.

Fantastic experience: All the PT’s here are very experienced and super knowledgeable. It’s the perfect place for anyone at any level, I love the infrared sauna too! PT room, HIIT classes and weights based classes. Highly recommend

Negative experience: Poor service, very unprofessional and would not recommend to anyone. No terms or conditions provided when I signed up, but then due to being in hospital for a prolonged period I needed a refund of the prepaid sessions and was told no. They kept my money and were very rude and abrupt about it.

Fantastic experience: Really enjoy the classes. They’re 40 minute schedules so I find they are achievable and allows me to go more consistently. Would highly recommend

Fantastic experience: An inclusive and supportive environment with awesome trainers who know what you’re capable of even if you don’t know it yet! Great facilities and love the Saturday smoothies!

Fantastic experience: Dan and the crew at Woodshed have been so personable and welcoming. I love the challenges presented everyday in classes and achieved things I never thought I would. Being a beginner, with little knowledge of the gym, there's always someone to assist. I'm thoroughly enjoying the Woodshed continue to be a member.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend The Woodshed! The process of signing up for the 2 week trial and into a membership was a seamless process and everyone has been so friendly. Verity and Dan have been great to train with and help me out with my techniques.

Fantastic experience: I never thought I’d be a fan of group strength training but the team at the Woodshed have turned my opinion around! You won’t find a more inclusive, supportive gym environment than at the Woodshed! I’ve certainly noticed the difference and seen the improvements in my overall health and well-being since attending. Can’t recommend more highly!

Fantastic experience: Great gym with great trainers and a positive atmosphere. Love the workouts and that the group training is not over crowded.

Fantastic experience: Love the variety and the quality of Trainers! Definatley increased my fitness, focused my efforts and strength is improving every day. The team at The Woodshed could not be more friendly and welcoming and their support has been a huge kick start to my health and fitness for 2023 Team

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love these classes! The instructors are fabulous and make the workouts enjoyable even when your muscles are on fire! After 2 weeks I can already see and feel a big difference! Best thing I could do for myself! Thank you Woodshed. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I absolutely L O V E The Woodshed. I started 3 weeks ago and I am obsessed. All the trainers are awesome. Dan, is fantastic and has been helping with my deadlift technique, Jack pushes me to lift that little bit heavier, Simon makes me sweat with his boxing sessions, Alice turns up the burn in Pilates+ and Verity, Bec and Josh are super encouraging and motivating. The spaces are always clean, hygienic and tidy and all the equipment matches. The contemporary aesthetic of concrete, timber, black flooring and ceilings with clumps of living plants throughout the reception area make it a very pleasant space to be in. It’s almost like I feel healthier just being in the space. The Woodshed has a great community feel and I highly recommend it.

Fantastic experience: The Woodshed is the best gym I have been a member of by quite some distance. I've been a member of small-group gyms before - both here in Australia and back in the UK - and they have often been very cliquey and not very welcoming to 'outsiders' or to those who are not completely gym (read 'Instagram') obsessed. In contrast, The Woodshed could not have been more welcoming, treats each member as an individual, and provides a fun and inclusive environment. There is a complete range of abilities amongst members, and Dan and his team tailor workouts accordingly so that no-one is left behind. It makes for such a fun, positive place to train, and is something that I always look forward to. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Fantastic experience: Quit your old gym NOW! I had tried it all before but nothing really stuck...and then... I came across The Woodshed. This place is truly life changing! Two styles of training under one roof. They have somehow managed to convert a "weight training hater" into a "weight trying lover". Their Cardio Room is just as amazing and the variety of classes is great! HITT, boxing, pliates, hybrid training - there really is something for everyone. Plenty of sessions available to choose from whether you prefer to smash it out before or after work. This studio space is really incredible but what really makes it is the staff. You are always greeted with a big smile, adjusted when your body needs it, encouraged to push yourself harder and always feel safe and very very well looked after. Every single trainer will find a way to make you grow further and push yourself in slightly different direction. I haven't experienced this level of personalised care anywhere else. It is simply the best value small group training out there.

Fantastic experience: The BEST! Awesome trainers that are incredibly supportive and know just how far to push me to get stronger and fitter. Great combo of classes, and loving the new addition of Pilates. Everyone is so welcoming - trainers and other members - stoked I found The Woodshed!

Fantastic experience: This place has become my second home!

Fantastic experience: We love training at the Woodshed that myself and my husband travel 30mins to get to the Woodshed! There is a sense of community that you don’t get at others gym. The trainers are super friendly and knowledge. We love that the trainers explain the workouts and as opposed to using a tv like other gyms! The class sizes are not too large giving you that personal experience along with the added bonus of your own workout pod and equipment. We highly recommend it! Once you try it out you will be hooked!

Fantastic experience: By far the best gym experience I have had in my 12 years of training. Trainers that really care, encourage and teach. It has spacious and clean facilities with state of the art equipment. Most importantly, it has a training community in group classes that is friendly and inclusive.

Fantastic experience: Everything about 'The Woodshed' is deluxe; the trainers and their guidance, the equipment and the community, provide a brilliant environment for getting fitter or to get super fit - whatever your goal is.

Positive experience: Would have given this a 5 star, but the back gym studio is missing some dumbbells... and of course they are the ones that we need. Sam, please invest in replacing the dumbbells that have either been stolen, or sold off.

Positive experience: This has a good environment for working out very good personal trainers the best trainer is probably Stephen Tingay
