The Gym: Opinions

Negative experience: I actually had a negative experience some time ago with this place. I never got to attend any classes here because the owner(?) told me to go elsewhere over e-mail. Basically I contacted them to try training out there and I was asked what my reasons were behind wanting to start working out. I said that I wanted to lose weight for my own self image. I got a response, worded in a very condescending manner, that if I wanted to only work out for the sake of getting slimmer that I should go other chain gyms in the area and not them because they focus on improving health. However, the way it was worded implied heavily that my motivation to work out was superficial and so I should go to gyms which are superficial as well. Personally, I don’t think they have the right to judge people’s motivations for wanting to work out. If they want to slim down, so be it. It’s not any of their business. How do they know if someone starts working out they will start to look more at health aspects too? Regardless it’s really wrong to talk down to someone, act like their reasons aren’t ’good enough’ and tell them to go elsewhere like that. I don’t understand all the perfect 5 star reviews on here honestly it’s very weird to me.

Hi S M, I am the new owner of the gym. I am sorry you had such a negative interaction with the previous owner. I would be more than happy to reconnect with you, if you are open to it. Warmest regards, Ani.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been at The Gym for a full 12 months now and what started as just a change of gyms has become a massive improvement to my physical and mental well-being. I came to Missy with the aim of wanting to learn olympic lifting from an experienced coach. Yes, we ticked that box and then we started fixing a chronic long term shoulder issue, started squatting lower despite my arthritic knee and stopped paying for unnecessary massages. To top it all, the community at the gym is awesome. Everyone is so supportive, friendly and the family vibe is strong. All these extra boxes I wasn’t looking for including those burpee box jumps all tick, tick, tick! So come on down if you’re looking for a coach that actually cares about how you lift, move and knows what she’s talking about. So tick that box on your health goals at The Gym right now.

How cool are all these things you've achieved Wibi! The shoulder issue being the biggest winner. Your diligence with rehab is second to none. Very impressive. We love having you as part of the gym family and we look forward to seeing what you can achieve next :)

Fantastic experience: I had seen The Gym in my hood (Naremburn) 3 years ago, but only recently as of 4 months ago joined. I wish I'd done it sooner! My anxieties on what to expect from gyms having never stepped foot in one where proven wrong! MISSY our gym Coach/Mum/Mate (she wears a lot of 'hats') makes you feel at ease with her sound knowledge & experience in this industry. I love the comradeship & community with our members. Couldn't be more happy to have found The Gym!

Lala!!! I wish I knew you sooner too but better late than never hey! You are an absolute joy to have in our gym, a literal ray of sunshine. I'm so glad that you are now at ease with the concept of 'gymming' especially considering you are totally born to do it! I also couldnt be more happy you found The Gym :)

Fantastic experience: Hands down the best gym on the north shore. Whether you’re dealing with chronic injuries or just wanting that next push to your goals, Missy will help identify your weaknesses and figure out how to turn them into your strengths. Her knowledge is unparalleled in the industry, honestly worth every cent.

Fantastic experience: I joined The Gym just over 12 months ago and it has been an amazing 12 months. Coming from a gym that was all about the people, I was looking for the same great vibe and The Gym delivers. All the people who train with Missy & Matt are super fun, and we are all there for the same thing. To move well and to enjoy training. Missy is an incredible coach. She cares more than any other coach I've ever trained with. She takes the time to understand how you move, what your strengths are, what you need help with and then maps out a plan for you for continued success. I have improved so much in the last year, I have gotten stronger and gained some awesome new skills. Things I never knew I could ever do (eg. hand stand push ups, ring work and rope climbing). There's something for everyone at The Gym. It's the most welcoming place. Do yourself a favour and join!

Fantastic experience: The Gym is a small, family run business, with a focus on improving movement. It is a safe and friendly place with a small team of dedicated coaching experts that focus on improving strength, technique and the skills of their members. The Gym's members are all very social and welcoming and the daily programs are fun and interesting. I cant recommend the The Gym highly enough for value-for-money, and it is the place to go if you are looking for a cross-training gymnasium on Sydney's lower north shore!

Jenn Miller 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this gym! I was really impressed with the 1 on 1 induction and how much care Missy takes to understand you and your body before you even start a class. 6 months later, I can say the Gym hasn't wavered on their quality training and they've even helped me (with the help of their recommended physio) finally understand the root issues on injuries I've had and lived with for half my life. Really wish I started here years ago!

Thanks for the kind words Jenn. Its no secret how much we love having you in the classes. Those long term injuries are about to be a thing of the past. Cant wait to see you lifting like a champ :)

Monika Sokołowska 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I've been a part of the the gym family since almost 8 months and from day one I felt included and very welcome. All the trainers are so knowledgeable and amazingly supportive! what is especially important for me, they show a huge huge interest in you individual needs and goals. First part of the programme is focused on your mobility disfunctions and each member has a individual set of exercises to follow (isn't that a revolutionary approach?!l) the rest is hard work but in a such a great training environment you just outdo yourself with every training and the results are spectacular! The owners, Missy and Matt, constantly come up with creative programs. I absolutely love this place and would highly recommend absolutely to anyone of any fitness level! It's one best training environments I have ever trained in!

Fantastic experience: After years of doing different forms of strength training, I joined The Gym about 6 weeks ago. The quality of the classes and the coaching is amazing, and the community is so warm and welcoming. I am really enjoying the balance of progressing through a structured program while still having plenty of variety within and between classes. I'm learning so many new skills and best of all, I'm having fun doing it! I cannot recommend Missy and The Gym highly enough.

Cameron Pascoe 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: For the last decade, I have been working a desk job and floating around various gyms/playing basketball pretty regularly and seeing my fitness and strength wane. After a calf injury at the beginning of the year I finally took the plunge to have a consult with Missy at The Gym. I was sold after the first ten minutes with her focus on holistic strength, mobility and prehab. When I started, she took the time to work around my calf and provide assistance with the rehab exercises I had received from the physio. After I started, both Matt and Missy took extra care to help me understand the exercises and perform them correctly. Three months in and, as much as coach hates the word, its been a complete transformation. I have integrated classes into my weekly routine thanks to the awesome friendly and welcoming environment that has been cultivated at the gym. I am significantly stronger and more flexible, able to perform movements that I had never previously been able to do. My cardio has also improved (from rock bottom) and all of it has translated into a happier and healthier life. Missy, Matt and Dan are all fantastic people and even better coaches. If I could give more than five stars I would, it has been one of the most positive decisions I have made in recent years.

What an awesome review, thanks Cam! Seeing you progress your strength, mobility and conditioning so quickly has been impressive. I love that you followed up my least favourite word with my favourite word which is routine! You are the poster boy for routine and the proof is in your results. Looking forward to seeing you progress with us at The Gym :)

Anna Martel 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve been attending The Gym for a little over 2 years now and it is by far the best gym I have ever been too. The support and environment that Missy has created is second to none. There is a real focus on ensuring that we have the right technique to prevent injury. This is key for someone who obtained a gym related back injury around 5 years ago, which still flares up and impacts my life to this day. I also love the ability to challenge myself in various different areas. Whether that be your standard squat/deadlift/etc, olympic lifting (which I never thought I would do and now love), or gymnastic ring work. The final piece of the puzzle that really makes The Gym such an amazing place is the community that Missy and Matty have created to make everyone feel like they belong no matter who they are or what their abilities are.

This review means very much to us Anna. To see you to progress even with your long term back injury is the reason we do what we do. Thanks for trusting us and thank you for being such a joyful contributor to our little community :)

Fantastic experience: I joined The Gym about a year ago. The Gym made such a huge difference to my health. I used to have knee pain due to patellar issues and I don’t have it anymore. I couldn’t imagine that it was possible. I also became so much more fit and stronger in general. The Gym community is awesome, very friendly and supportive. The coaches are super professional and know everything about movement. Moreover, they genuinely care about the members. All the workout programs are customised for every member taking into consideration current level of fitness, injuries and goals. The exercises are explained thoroughly and safety is always a priority. Can’t recommend enough.

Brianna Campbell 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I'd spent a few years of 'donating' to many gyms across the North Shore and my fitness was at an all time low, so I was hesitant to join yet another gym. After 7 months of consistent attendance I can say joining The Gym was the best decision I made in 2020. I am fitter, stronger and happier. Exercise is no longer a 'have to' - I look forward to it and despite having a long way to go with my health goals, I love every minute I spend at The Gym! Missy makes it her mission to ensure her members thrive and I'm continually impressed by the personalized approach provided to every single member, new or old. The emphasis on safety, technique and functional movement over aesthetics or quick fixes is embraced by all coaches and members. The coaches easily (and happily!) adapt each workout to suit individual needs ensuring everyone trains safely while still being challenged. I've been supported and encouraged since Day 1 and this has made a huge difference to my motivation, determination and finding my confidence in the gym. Highly recommend The Gym for anyone new to training right through to advanced lifters. Workouts are varied, interesting and challenging. Amazing community of like-minded people who are motivated, fun, friendly and passionate about movement and health. Facilities are great - showers, super clean and COVID safe, always plenty of on street parking available. Excellent booking system, small class sizes.

Fantastic experience: I joined earlier this year after researching many places and let me tell you, The Gym St. Leonds is perfect! I’ve never felt as fit, strong and healthy in my life. Before this I was always intimidated by gyms, but this is the opposite – fun and friendly trainers/community and whole body training. They ease you in and the classes are always varied and different. Now, when I do other things like basketball and running I’m not sore afterwards and my recovery is seamless!

Michael Chettleburgh 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to The Gym for some time now; I joined as I was looking for an alternative to the big gyms which I often found intimidating especially when I wanted to move away from the usual cardio machines. The Gym offers small more personalised classes with a focus on working on proper technique. Missy and the team are especially proficient in adapting routines around any injuries you may have. Everyone is given their own customised warm up exercise, then the class normally consists of a strength element followed by a cardio element. Missy is very patient and non-judgmental in teaching the correct techniques, making sure you are safe and not injuring yourself. Thanks to The Gym I have seen many gains, improvements, and my confidence has increased. I would very much recommend going to The Gym if you’re looking for something with a personal touch which encourages you to challenge yourself without adding unnecessary pressure.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of 'The Gym' for a while now and could not recommend it enough! Not only do I feel physically stronger, but I have been provided with endless amounts of nutrition support which has honestly changed my life. The immediate vibe demonstrates just how much heart and soul has been put into creating this space- This is not just a gym, it's a community of like-minded people who love good music, sharing banter and of course, working out! Walking into 'The Gym' has been one of the best things I have done for myself!

Fantastic experience: Few gyms are dedicated to the art of movement like The Gym. Missy and team live and breathe technique like few others, which ensures longevity and pain free training. If you enjoy functional exercising (lifting, jumping, running, pushing etc)(which you should !) and want to training/learn in a safe and controlled environment, this is the place to be. and the peeps are proper funk meisters

Orsola Regaglia 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: After years of surgeries, pain, and injuries I was looking for a gym and a trainer that could take me through my rehab. With Missy’s encouragement, I walked into The Gym Sydney with my moonboot on, one-month post-surgery desperate for see if this was a place that would take me through rehab and starting on the track of getting my mobility back. After years of recurring and frustrating injuries, I didn’t hold out much hope. From the first time we met, Missy talked about her method of using functional movement to get my body moving again. She worked closely with my physiotherapist to ensure that she had me on the right track. And for the first time, I have had no setbacks in my rehab, and I am doing things I never thought possible. She got me to challenge myself about what I can and can’t do, aim for goals that I thought was not possible, and tailoring classes & workouts to my particular needs. The focus has always been about getting my body moving better and getting stronger. It has been 10 months of mentorship, hard work, trust and gentle prodding. I am healthier, stronger and (may I say) slimmer. Not to mention a great group of trainers and member that keep each other motivated. Highly recommended.

What a review! Thanks Orsola. I've loved every minute of the journey we have been on together. Your dedication to the cause has never wavered and your next level results speak for themselves. No more rehab for you, just training, strengthening & movement improvement :)

Fantastic experience: The Gym Sydney is an amazing place that supports and caters for each of its members. They focus on technique which I desperately needed to help avoid unnecessary injuries.

Do i recommend that you come here? Hell yes!!

Sarah Attree 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: After moving to Sydney last year, I was on the hunt for a new gym. I’ve trained at many (mostly Crossfit) gyms over the years. I love the intensity of Crossfit but as a Physiotherapist and someone in their 40s, I was getting increasingly frustrated with poor programming and coaching. It also really irked me to be paying premium prices and sweating away in a class that was poorly programmed with little to nil coaching feedback. Enter: The Gym, Sydney. The Insta page piqued my interest and thought I’d give it a try. I’ve been super impressed. Missy’s attention to detail with her programming and coaching is fantastic. Missy and her team also genuinely care about their clients. The support and coaching over lockdown was also amazing. Missy and Matt put everything into this place and community. I come away every time having had a great workout, improved on a skill and had a laugh. In this place, you’ll be challenged but can be confident you’re not going to be injured. The coaches will push you to your limits but safely with great technique. If you’ve got a massive ego, please look elsewhere! Also, it is the cleanest gym I’ve ever been to! They really take hygiene seriously, AND there’s a coffee machine.​

Thank you for the awesome review Sarah. We strive to be the gym you are describing so a review like this very satisfying :) One of our biggest challenges is mindset shifting and sometimes pulling people back so they can take leaps forward. You have trusted the process all the way and done everything we asked with a smile on your face. Your movement progress is all on you! Thank you for this wonderful review and also for being such an active and loved part of our little community!

Tomas Claps 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: A functional group training gym where focus on movement and technique is at the forefront of the training. Head coach, Missy and her team’s care for their members is second to none. Personalised warmups are written for each member so that members can build up strengths in needed areas in order to hit their goals. It’s also great little tight knit community where people of all fitness and experience levels are welcome. I’ve been training here for over 2 years and highly recommend The Gym Sydney to anyone who’s looking for a gym that really cares about its members!

larissa crabb 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: The Gym Sydney is not just a place to train, it becomes your family. The coaches and trainers are what makes this business more than just a gym. They go above and beyond to create, individualise and tailor programs to each member, including meal plans should you wish. When I joined the gym I had suffered many years of shoulder, lower back and ankle issues. Over the last year Missy worked with me developing programs that have strengthened and improved my weaknesses to a point where I am lifting like never before. I have also had the pleasure of being introduced to new skills, always with the correct technique making sure I continue to grow in line with my fitness goals without the risk of injury. Above all else the gym is fun! It is a place I couldn't imagine my daily routine without. Thankyou to The Gym Sydney for having me as part of your classes.

Fantastic experience: The coaches and the community at the gym has been nothing short of amazing since I started attending 12 months ago. The coaches' knowledge and expertise as well as caring attitude towards each member has made it a great environment to train in. Having my own limitations, it's be great to be able to train at a place that takes this into consideration each session. I've been able to modify where needed within my own capabilities and I love that they have helped me achieve my health goals. Not only that, the community of members is also incredible. Everyone is so welcoming and supportive and I love training with these people everyday.

Andrew Hickey 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: I've been coming here for over a year, and have to say it is the best gym I've trained at. All the trainers are not only friendly and helpful, they're experts who know exactly what they're talking about. The workouts are individually catered to each person attending so everyone is challenged, but not beyond their ability. I love the community feel of The Gym. Unlike bigger chains, you get to know everyone who trains here and we're all like a big family. Everyone is welcome, no matter what your fitness level, and it's easy to see that the trainers are passionate about what they do and about the members training with them getting the most they can out of each session. I can't recommend this gym enough!

Lindsay Wilson 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Missy and the coaches at The Gym have worked really hard to create something unique and special in the sydney fitness landscape. From the first session with Missy it was evident that the main focus was improving my mobility and overall movement to reduce strain and injury. I have had a weak shoulder prone to dislocations for 8 years and in the 6 months since i have joined the gym, through the implementation of Missys rehabilitation program i have largely increased my shoulders strength and range of motion. I have previously trained at regular gyms and the popular HIIT gyms, and would find myself getting injurys like my lower back and shoulder. Now i am doing olympic weightlifting and challenging workouts and havent been injured once. I know that this is due to being crafted my own personalised warm up which i complete in the allotted time at the start of every session. The level of care shown and the thought put into the programming is second to none. Second to this yet just as important, this gym is a lot of fun, you work hard but the coaches and the members enjoy a laugh and a chat an unlike previous gyms i have been to i really look forward to my hour spent there each day.

The Gym
The Gym

Well, isn't this an awesome testimonial! Thank you Lindsay! It's been amazing to see your progress especially considering your previous shoulder issues. You are living proof that our program works. However, it only works when the member sticks to the plan, doesn't rush ahead and follows our advice regarding substituting exercises during class and corrective exercises during the warm up period. Because of your diligence, your progress has been quicker than expected and it's great to see you being able to attempt some of the more technical skills. So good!

Birravinder Riar 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: When I first joined the family/gym, I could not squat and my technique was all over the place. I was like a foal learning to walk, wobbly, but not cute at all! Missy worked with me tirelessly on technique and how to actually squat properly. From there came the focus on how to lift weights properly without injury, which at my previous gym was not a focus. It took patience from both myself and Missy but the results were film worthy! I cannot recommend this gym highly enough for the changes they have made in my life. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Fantastic experience: I've been a member of The Gym for over a year now and the thing that has kept me coming back is the amazing owner/head coach Missy. Her attention to detail and endless patience has helped me see some amazing improvements! I've gone from having a bad back and struggling to exercise once a week to being pain-free and completing up to 4 sessions a week! Give The Gym a go if you're tired of being ignored by PT trainers in massive group workouts!

Shikha Mahajan 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: I joined "The Gym" an year back and have not looked back after that. It's the kind of gym that encourages me to get up everyday at 6 am and attend the class. Missy and the team provide great coaching and take great care in ensuring everyone gets personal attention. The focus is on technique and moving well which helps you in improving day on day. Missy takes great of anyone with injuries or pains in specific areas and also suggests remediation exercises which makes sure you don't miss out on the workout. Overall, its a great place for workout and having lots of fun in and outside of gym hours. Highly recommended!!

Fantastic experience: The care and focus that the owners/coaches put into every member and session is why I love this gym. I have used others in the past, with mixed results, but I have not felt more welcomed and part of a community than I do here. With small class sizes the coaching feels almost 1-2-1, the atmosphere during class is always one of hard work and fun, and the social activities planned bring the gym even closer together.

Thanks for the awesome review Will! You have felt like part of the furniture from day one and its members like you that make the gym such a special place. Also you are a very good stand in barista when Coach Matty is away :)

Fantastic experience: Amazing place! I had only recently stated training before coming to The Gym so there was definitely a lot to learn, however the training and technical skills provided from day 1 are second to none. I can honestly feel myself improving from week to week thanks to Missy and team. Every session provides an opportunity to achieve a new lift, skill or weight you haven't done before knowing that you are in safe hands, being taught to correct technique and at a much lower risk of injury. The team help you understand your limits but continuously push you and encourage you to move on to a more 'advance' movement when you a ready to do so. They gym itself is just a great place to be too, everyone is genuinely lovely and it is always a good laugh. Thanks so much :)

We are looking forward to seeing you get those lifts, skills and weights that we see you working so hard towards each day.

Alex Hambly 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: To be honest I signed up with the intention to only stay for the unlimited week of classes and the 1 on 1, as a bit of a self assessment. The absence of a contract and ability to cancel if it doesn't work out appealed to my nature to never commit to anything. I've stayed 6 months and the reasons are because I'm learning about working out, I'm being supervised and guided to do it correctly and I can feel the difference and the benefits in my body through the mobility and strength. Ask about the trial and give it a try.

I absolutely love this review Alex. It's so rare that someone goes from not really wanting to commit to being as dedicated as you. As one of our most regular members, your constant progress is so well deserved and we are so happy to be part of it.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym that caters to all fitness levels, experience and ability. Missy, Matt and the other coaches have worked hard to ensure The Gym Sydney provides its members with not only an effective training methodology, but also one that is safe, fun and individually tailored. No matter what your goal, Missy and the other coaches want to make sure you achieve them. The individually tailored warm ups, goal setting and varied workouts combined with a fun environment are what sets this gym apart from others. Furthermore, the coaches have a genuine passion and interest in making sure each and every member is having a positive training experience. I can highly recommend The Gym, it's a great place to either start or continue your fitness journey.

Fantastic experience: The Gym is such a special place! The coaches are all so amazing and everyone is super welcoming and fun! I have learnt so so much training here, especially regarding movement technique. Moving correctly is a huge focus here - I find myself so much more efficient with movement since training here and I have learns heaps about lifting properly. The classes are so much fun with the perfect balance of bangers, banter, encouragement and amazing technical feedback. :D :D :D

Fantastic experience: Great Gym and great community. Missy and all the coaches are fantastic at giving tips for technique whether you’ve been training for a lone time or just beginning. Have seen vast improvements in my Olympic lifting since I joined. Individual warm ups are provided which is great for you to work on any weaknesses or help with injury prevention for any old injuries you may have. The detailed training, advice and tips is really above anything I‘ve received at various other gyms I’ve trained at. Overall just a great place to train and would recommend to anyone no matter what you skill level, fitness level or experience you may have. Thanks guys!

One of our biggest challenges is working with members that have been taught...different methods :) From day one you been so keen to listen and learn no matter what we have asked of you or how much we have pulled you back. We are so glad you have seen the benefits of doing this because now its an absolute pleasure to watch you lift and see first hand the benefits you are getting from all the hard work you put in. Thanks Sean!

Fantastic experience: Mum of three under 7, full time work - the lunchtime class is my hour of "me time". I look forward to coming every time - Missy and her coaching team are so committed to their members. I love the community feel at this gym - everyone is so friendly - it's not about how much you lift or how fit you are compared to others - its about doing your best and celebrating individual successes! Having been to regular classes for years at FF and then F45, when I joined the gym it was exactly what I was looking for without knowing it- a strong, personal focus on technique in a small class environment before you even touch the barbell and lots of positive encouragement! I have achieved things I never thought possible (handstands!) and took my fitness to a new level. I encourage anyone who is committed to making a positive change in their lifestyle and fitness to try it.

Motoko Sakai 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: At The Gym, workouts are carefully programmed by the owner coach Missy to aim both strength and performance for every level, and they change everyday. I used to go to FF type gym, but eventually got bored running on treadmill and other classes that aimed to burn calories. The Gym changed how I see fitness and diet. At The Gym, it's all about moving correctly and getting stronger, then toned body naturally happens. All the coaches at The Gym have many fitness qualifications and they are excellent in spotting what are the issues with your movements that prevent you move correctly. In my case, my Olympic lifting skills improve so much after I joined The Gym. Coaches are ready to help and guide all members through the journey and even provide diet advises and "extras" to achieve your specific goals. Members are so friendly and it's like a big family. Highly recommended!!

Fantastic experience: Having just moved office to the St Leonards area I was looking for a gym that was a bit different to the usual mass produced offerings from various chains around the place. I stumbled across this little gem and have not looked back. I do the 45 minute lunch time session, smash down some lunch and am back at work in about an hour. The coaching is excellent with workouts adjusted to suit each member. Feeling and looking much fitter with these punchy workouts and more limber thanks to the stretching and mobility exercises.

G Reid 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: The gym has provided me with the perfect platform to kick away my fear of weights, and understand the importance of technique. I went to the gym with the mentality of "loosing weight". I walk out of the classes now understanding to be strong, fit and healthy is the absolute and upmost priority for me. I learn something new every single class - and I can't ever recall the last time I didn't feel challenged. Missy, Matt and the whole gym family are there to guide you and not make you feel inferior. They are teachers but also you're biggest fans. Highly recommend this place for any newbies wanting to change their minds and health.

Fantastic experience: Coming to The Gym every afternoon is the highlight of my day, it's what I look forward to most after a big day of work. Missy and Matt have created a space that is not only equipped with everything you could possibly need for a fun and challenging workout, but the members here contribute immensely to an incredibly friendly and welcoming community vibe. You will rarely see the same workout twice as there is always something new on the board to try, and with a strong technical focus, The Gym offers top notch coaching for all levels of strength and fitness. Highly recommended for those wanting a lifestyle change, and for making some pretty cool friends along the way!

Fantastic experience: The Gym is everything I have been searching for and haven't found until now. From the minute I entered I knew this was the gym for me, the people are so friendly and especially coach Missy who is knowledgeable, helpful, and approachable. Missy caters to any fitness level in the class as she easily tailors each workout to whatever each individual needs. Technique drills are also a vital part of The Gym which is super helpful for both learning and preventing injuries! I appreciate that every class is organised prior to attending as I haven't been successful in forming my own gym workouts in the past. Before starting at the gym I had never lifted a barbell but each week I feel more and more confident in barbell technique. It's been an exciting few months learning all these new skills and exercises, I can't wait for more! I highly, highly recommend this gym to everyone!

Fantastic experience: I joined The Gym 6 weeks after giving birth to my second child and found the classes terrific and exactly what I needed to get fit again. The circuit style fitness classes suits all levels and abilities and the trainers cater for this beautifully. Missy has great technique and is able to explain this very well to her clients. This is like no gym I have been to before. I would describe it as personalised group training with a group of friendly people.

Fantastic experience: Having recently moved to sydney from Brisbane, I was eager to find a gym I would love as much as my old favourite. I feel so lucky that I found this place - Missy and Matty are awesome and the whole vibe of the gym is fun, encouraging and energetic. Missy is very technique focussed and I have learnt so much about olympic lifts that I didnt have a clue about before. Definately the place to come if you want to perfect your technique and improve mobility.
