Byron Gym

Fantastic experience: Great gym! Friendly vibe! Great job guys

Fantastic experience: Love the new equipment and the playlists they have playing. Tidiest gym I've trained in for a long time

Fantastic experience: Great gym, great people, amazing staff. Very clean gym. Fantastic equipment

Positive experience: Good local gym, greatly improved since the refurbishment. AC throughout has been good. Good range of equipment, and a growing number of classes, including very popular yoga classes. Friendly staff and good atmosphere, a place where long term and older members share the space with visitors or transient workers, and women feel comfortable.

Negative experience: Absolutely shocking customer service from Nathaniel and the Byron Gym. Obviously he's a very young and inexperienced gym manager - and not aware of how to manage customer discussions or problem situations with grace. I rang to question why a 2 month upfront membership for my 2 kids - that attend High School in Byron - had rolled to direct debit and saw me ongoing be charged. I left multiple messages with staff over several months to have the manager call me back to discuss. I was hoping to resolve why I had been charged upfront and then ongoing - Nathaniel was so rude and condescending to me from the start - he kept accusing me of being the one at fault, with a hugely defensive and aggressive demeanor toward me - despite my feedback that I didn't appreciate his tone or approach - that I ended up cancelling all memberships. Nathaniel took delight in telling me the fees I'd have to pay to cancel my yearly memberships - while he sniggered. So unnecessary. Such a bad taste left in my mouth. Beware anyone that joins - they sign you up via their computer and fail to clearly showcase the hidden costs to 'get out of the program' - all smiles as they get you and your money into a financial contract. From there - expect poor experiences from junior staff and managers that seem more intent on being 'right' than solving customer problems with the care and maturity you expect from a long-standing local business. Shame on you Byron Gym - I expected better treatment of locals.

Negative experience: Absolutely appalling customer service. We initially joined Byron Bay Gym with the intention of staying long-term, but their membership process was so disorganized and shady that we had no choice but to cancel. From the start, they were more than happy to sign us up and take our money, but when it came to handling payments correctly, they repeatedly charged us in ways that were unexpected. When we asked them to clarify the terms of our membership, they couldn’t even recollect the agreement. The worst part? When we tried to get in touch to resolve the issue, they ignored multiple messages and never called us back. After chasing them down for weeks, we finally got through—only to be met with outright hostility. Instead of politely addressing the issue, they became defensive and angry. We actually liked the gym itself and would have stayed despite the initial frustration, but their staff’s complete inability to handle a simple conversation professionally made that impossible. Instead of acknowledging the mistake and working toward a resolution, they doubled down on being rude and dismissive. If you’re looking for a gym that values its members and provides even the bare minimum level of customer service, go somewhere else.

Positive experience: So, joined for a week as I'm a up for annual holidays. James was super professional and the equipment is great. Coming from a service orientated background, I was a little bemused when I asked the girls at the front desk the operating hours. Essentially, I got a 'are you blind' expression /response (if you can call it that)and some pointing to a sign sitting on the counter. Again, great facility but the girls at the front need to take a lesson or two from James. I don't do rude.

Fantastic experience: Outstanding Service from Nathaniel! I used to be a member of the Bangalow gym and absolutely loved it because of Nathaniel, who managed it so well. I had to stop for a while due to an injury, but I recently found out that Nathaniel is now at their main gym in Byron Bay. I’ve rejoined because his service is truly outstanding! He makes everything seamless, is incredibly friendly, and ensures the gym is always spotless. Highly recommend Byron Bay Gym, especially with Nathaniel there!

Fantastic experience: So grateful for a decent gym in Byron. Finally! Awesome renovation on this gym. People are so lovely. Well done guys.

Positive experience: Excellent gym, just need to clean the bathroom more frequently

Positive experience: Fijne gym, als je meerdere dagen in Byron Bay bent zou ik een weekpas aanschaffen.

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym. High level equipment for both olympic weightlifting and calisthenics. Very hard to find!

Fantastic experience: Great set up, you walk in and you don’t expect it to be as big as it is but had more than enough equipment

Fantastic experience: Old reviews are from when previous ownership was in charge. This gym is GREAT, I work in the fitness industry and this is by far the best, most well equipped gym in the area.

Positive experience: Good gym but no emphasis on hygiene. No one has towels. No one cleans equipment after use. I have even seen people without shoes

Fantastic experience: Disregard the older reviews. The gym has clearly been renovated and updated, and is now well kitted out with new equipment, from treadmills to weight machines and free weights. The weights area is spacious and light-filled, and even though it was busy when I visited, it wasn't crowded. The gym had a nice vibe, and as a casual visitor during a holiday I didn't feel out of place.

Fantastic experience: Great gym and facilities, everything you need. Staff were super friendly. I have the fitness passport and staff here made it super easy to access the gym (unlike some other gyms that offer fitness passport). They also offered a free access tag so props to them as well for supporting the fitness passport users!

Fantastic experience: My favourite gym! great classes and alm the machines are new!

Fantastic experience: It's a terrific newly renovated gym with an excellent range of strength/cardio equipment and workout spaces. The new owner takes great pride in keeping everything clean and in order. The staff are extremely friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. You'll need to bring a clean towel and wear appropriate gym shoes for workouts, which is a very reasonable requirement to keep things clean and safe for members.

Fantastic experience: The club is looking great after the refurbishment. All new equipment, great selection of group fitness classes and all the members are super friendly.

Fantastic experience: Great gym

Fantastic experience: My favourite gym in Byron! Will definitely be back next year! Love all the new upgrades

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym with new equipment, staff are very helpful. Variety of classes included in fees. Great vibe on the gym floor!

Fantastic experience: Probably the best gym in Byron Bay. Friendly staff. 3 squat racks and dumbbells up to 50kg. Comfortable temperature inside. Daypass at $25, weekpass at $85. With the weekpass you get an access token allowing you to get in outside of staff hours. If you look closer there are corners that could be cleaner. Hack squat machine could be replaced with a more ergonomic version.

Fantastic experience: Great gym with brand new professional equipment, always clean with attentive friendly staff.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, good equipment, not too crowded in the morning. They have day passes for visitors at reasonable prices!

Fantastic experience: The improvements and upgraded equipment has created a whole new vibe and improved training and class experience. I absolutely love the atmosphere and the very friendly team. Almost feels like visiting good friends. Oh and the membership fees are affordable unlike so many other gyms in Byron. Amazing thanks byron gym team. ️‍♂️ ❣️

Fantastic experience: Very great just a bit busy

Fantastic experience: The renovation is fantastic guys. Haven’t been here for a few months and delighted by what you’ve achieved. Great size and range of equipment. Still love the outdoor section. Well done

Positive experience: Great gym; has everything you need for a good workout. James is a top bloke who does a good job running the gym.

Fantastic experience: Update the pictures of the gym!

Fantastic experience: The new owners have done a great job updating the gym so far! Awesome new space right in centre of Byron!

Fantastic experience: good gym for casual visitors. we enjoyed it.

Fantastic experience: I recomrnded

Negative experience: Outdated devices, spiders in the corners, devices are too close together. You feel like others are breathing down your neck while you train. The shower is right next to the toilet. Casual entry is $20. Worst gym we've been to in Australia so far.

Positive experience: No Frills. I came here twice on holidays. Its a very basic gym with all the equipment you need. The equipment is very tired and in need of some updating and additional machines like cable cross overs and more free weights. The staff were great.

Negative experience: Tweaked my back at this gym because the ground was slightly uneven under the bench press. It's a wonder they're even allowed to operate

Positive experience: I like it. Casual and friendly. Recent major upgrades have improved experience

Negative experience: I do not recommend this gym AT ALL. The staff let me do a supposedly free 7-day trial, but when I provided my details, they asked for my card, my mistake for trusting them. After informing them that I did not want to join the gym, they made a $137 charge on my bank account "supposedly by mistake." After contacting them, I was told they would refund the money within a maximum of 14 days, but since then, they haven't responded to my messages. Unfortunately, I am not in Byron to speak with them in person, and they take advantage of that. Besides being a VERY LOW-QUALITY gym, they are thieves and have no shame.

Positive experience: La entrada para un dia de entreno es muy cara, 22 dolares australianos(14 euros). El gym es grande y tiene todo tipo de máquinas para entrenar pero si que le falta modernizarlo un poco más y darle un toque de color para darle mas vida.

Fantastic experience: I've been going to this gym for 4 months and so far I really like this gym. The staff are very nice and friendly. The price is good and there is a few classes that you can enjoy. The equipment has many varieties and it is enough for people. The gym is not crowded which is what I like the most. The only thing, it would be great to have more yoga classes in the evening

Negative experience: This could quite possibly be the worst fitness centre within the entirety of the universe. I do not think that you could pay me any amount to attend this “gym” ever again. Somehow this gym was able to turn me away from training, I have been a passionate gym goer for the past 27 years. The day pass for this centre is an astounding $22. I have never seen a bigger and more prominent scam in my whole life. King regards.

Negative experience: This is the worst gym I’ve ever been to. The equipments from the 90s and there’s no lighting in the gym. It’s a joke they asked me to pay $75 for a week. You couldn’t pay me to train here, I’ve been to many gyms and I’ve never ever seen something of this degree

Negative experience: dirty, broken machines, no material and no information

Negative experience: This is unfortunately the worst gym I've ever been to & I've been to a lot. The ground was significantly uneven at the squat rack (which is extremely dangerous) & a lot of the machines and equipment are extremely hard to adjust because of rust. If a gym inspector came into this gym I'm sure it would be deemed unsafe and shut down in 5 minutes. Plus it's way to crammed. I would not recommend paying $10 for a casual visit let alone the $22 that they charge. Ridiculously overpriced for a gym that feels like it is 20-30 years past it's due date.

Negative experience: Unfortunately I can't score this heaps high. An older style gym (think 90s). The equipment definitely needs some TLC, for example hip extension equipment was very hard to adjust with rust etc, same with leg extension machine. Uneven ground directly below squat bar was a lil interesting. $22 is a few bucks cheaper than the general price for gym's in Byron which imo is pretty high... I'd say casual visit was valued at closer $10

Negative experience: Joke gym. Equipment super old, opening time very short, weekend only mornings even if staff keep saying they open all day…. Time table not written outside. More expensive than social remedy in Byron. Also my key didn’t work for 3 days after payment… I could not use the gym because no one at the front desk.. not fair, and come on guys minimum standard needs improving. People laugh about you guys…..

Fantastic experience: Perfect old school gym. Everything you need to get the job done. The bonus , no influencers . Everyone has been really friendly , and it has a room at the top that was a circuit room. It has all the machines ( a little dated , but perfect ) and cardio options . I feel comfortable walking in , and working out . It’s actually the highlight to start my day , and get out of bed. If you want to go to a gym and feel comfortable , no one is looking how you’re dressed. Everyone is just doing their workouts, not people watching Last bit of information in the real world. You pay heaps for a 1 visit , same as any gym anywhere Yes the equipment is old, but there’s no male or females dressed in 2XU filming their workout, and getting annoyed because someone walked into frame It’s a gym where you work out, not sit on a machine looking at your phone .

Negative experience: Alright equipment very old and rusty though. New owners lied about 3 day pass cost then said it was for locals only and tried to charge $60. Expensive and not worth it at all. Other gyms in Byron that are better value. Service needs improving.

Positive experience: Gym itself is fantastic & has everything you need! $28 is very pricey for a day pass.

Fantastic experience: Never seen anyone bench a higher 1 x arm Bench press then me in this gym. I’d love to see someone try. Great gym.

Positive experience: It’s a bit overpriced for what you get. The gym has everything you need for a good workout however there is no AC, equipment is a bit rusted, and the weight room is a bit cramped. Not bad for a few days while visiting Byron.

Fantastic experience: I joined this gym two years ago and had a very disappointing experience at the time. Recently, I stopped by again and was blown away by the transformation. The new owner and remodeling have made a huge difference—modern facilities, great equipment, and a welcoming atmosphere. Without a doubt, it’s a gym I’d be happy to try again!

Negative experience: Palestra molto piccola, attrezzi molto vecchi, pezzi molto alti.

Negative experience: Een dagpas kost 22 AUD. Dit is nogal aan de prijs voor wat je ervoor terug krijgt. Roestige apparatuur en niet AC gekoelde gym.

Fantastic experience: Just did a Strength and Stretch with Elana ,after not being at a gym class for a few years this was a brilliant introduction back. Perfect blend of difficulty, enough to give goals to work towards not to hard to be overwhelmed. Thanks Elana .

Fantastic experience: Always visit the Byron Gym when in Byron, I highly recommend this gym , friendly staff , great facilities and cleanliness and a relaxed atmosphere

Fantastic experience: Great facility. Well organised where safety is first. Staff are knowledgeable and friendly.

Negative experience: EXTREMELY OVERPRICED for the gym quality. Very average faculties that are outdated, messy front of desk with old equipment scattered out the front. This place desperately needs a clean up and redesign!!!

Fantastic experience: Best gym ever

Positive experience: Just your old school gym that's need some TLC. Old equipment that needs to be upgraded but it's still my go to when I'm in Byron.

Negative experience: Nothing to share

Fantastic experience: Friendly, professional and Covid safe

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym, everything perfect for your complete workout, what ever that looks like. Cheers

Negative experience: Bad value at $20 casual visit for an old and cramped gym. Also, if a covid inspector was there they would be shocked. People are sharing the same reused chuc wipe cloths to wipe equipment so if one person has it everyone has it. Also I'm susceptible to warts and immediately noticed one starting after my gym workout and most probably from the dumbells as my hand felt itchy after using it. On a positive note, they force you to register upon entry using QR code which can be used to register exit of the gym.

Fantastic experience: Unpretentious, clean ,friendly ,professional Lovely staff & regular local members Love the classes & weight room

Fantastic experience: This gym is amazing!! Super professional, clean and well maintained facility with super helpful and lovely crew of staff!

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym, everything you need plus classes include in the fee! The staff behind the counter are not only super helpful but also drop dead gorgeous xoxox 10/10

Negative experience: Not just the most expensive gym I’ve ever been a member of but also just the worst and most pointless set up of any gym I’ve been a member of. They hide a bunch of gear in the class room which is always occupied when I train (about 4-6 hours of classes a day) so half the time you can’t actually use the gear you hope to use. Sometimes even the gear that’s usually out magically disappears into that room so you e no idea if you’ll be able to do your planned workout on any given day. You can’t drop weights, there’s really only one rack so if you’re into barbell stuff, only the basic power lifts are really an option when the rack is free. They haven’t bothered to add weight labels to the machines so you’ve no idea what you’re lifting. There’s no lacrosse balls or anything really useful for mobilization and warm up. Genuinely just the worst gym: seriously regret joining for the month. Find a better option.

Negative experience: On holiday in Byron Bay. We’ve travelled a lot all around the world, and this was one of the worst gyms we have been in. The equipment is old and way too crowded into a small space; It can’t possible meet h&s requirements. AUS$ 18 for a session is really bad value. There must be better around, do yourself a favour and go do your workout somewhere else.

Positive experience: Expensive for what it is

Positive experience: Good local gym with enough equipment for working out while on holiday. Tons of free weights so you won't be lacking plates or barbells. Tons of parking too.

Fantastic experience: Great little local gym. Plenty of decent equipment. $18 for a casual day pass which is a little steep if your backpacking and looking for somewhere to train, but worth the money if its leg day. I mean bodyweight squats don't quite cut it do they? Girl on reception was really friendly.

Fantastic experience: Day passes are definitely a ripp-off but if you buy a week pass at least pricing is alright. Great staff and great atmosphere! You like to sweat?! Good & solid machines for heavy duty training! Def. Worth a visit

Fantastic experience: The team here are amazing! Approchable, down to earth and friendly. Great Variety of machines and new equipment. Love that the gym is split over several levels, so you can focus on your own training without distraction. Staff are always there to offer support and advice if I need it. Highly recommend this gym!

Fantastic experience: Love it here, everyone is so friendly and so full of energy!

Fantastic experience: Classic friendly gym with inspiring people and trainers

Fantastic experience: The gym have a great number of machines and activities. Also, great variety of machines for legs workouts.

Fantastic experience: Good facilities, the staff are friendly and very helpful. Thanks Byron Gym Team

Fantastic experience: Great for a casual visit. Loads of equipment and machines and free weights.

Fantastic experience: Staff very knowledgeable and helpful. Thanks.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, really impressed by the layout of the place and also the quality of equipment. Knowledgable staff always ready to help with any thing when needed! Classes are great too and timetable suits a lot of different lifestyles.

Fantastic experience: Was in Byron for a week, the week pass is probably the most expensive (65 bucks) as it gets cheaper the longer you train for.. 1 month is best value for money. Weight room has an old feel to it, old looking equipment but everything still safe and working. The studio next to it has a heavy boxing bag, yoga mats, foam rollers and if there is no class, it's a great space to stretch after workout. Changing rooms good, lock supplied for lockers, staff friendly, protein drinks available, all round good gym

Fantastic experience: Great gym with high ceilings, lots of light and good equipment. It does have olympic barbells with plenty of big weight plates, in case anyone is wondering as some gyms out there only care about machines. This gym though is great for lifting.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, staff always very friendly and willing to help. Great selection of free weights and machines. Recent extensions are great.

Positive experience: This is a GYM, not a health club. A place for serious gym folks to lift, train, sweat,grow and socialize. Every kind of equipment you need is here! Leave your very expensive (yet perfectly color coded) workout fashions at home....The gym is very convenient. You don't have to be a body-builder or in super shape to work-out here... Everyone is just here to work-out full stop!
