6 Degrees South Health & Fitness Gym: Opinions

Fantastic experience: Love this gym ⭐️ Friendly staff. Very professional. Excellent equipment.
Thanks so much for your very kind review Rani. We really appreciate you taking the time to do so and for the 5 stars!
Fantastic experience: Just fabulous
Thanks so much for the 5 start review David! It's very much appreciated.
Fantastic experience: I feel so at home at this gym. The owner is lovely and the staff all seem to care. Great facilities and location
Thank you so much for the amazing review Vic. It means so much to us that you love this club as much as we do.
Fantastic experience: Very convenient gym. It’s open 7 days a week and you can access it at almost any time. Friendly staff and good atmosphere.
Thanks for posting this review Andrea. Love the 5 stars!!
Positive experience: Convenient, community-minded boutique gym. Unfortunately it is crazy busy in the mornings and I often have to skip certain exercises or completely change what I was going to work out due to no available equipment. Its at a point where I either have to come at a earlier time (5am) or find a bigger gym. Disappointing as it is convenient for me and at a good price.
Hello Shaun, thank you for your review. I'm sorry to hear you found it busy this morning. Over our entire opening hours today up until the time of this reply 10.37am, we have had a total of 46 members visit the club. This number includes those who have participated in group training classes as well meaning a total of 28 people on the gym floor over a 6 hour period. I feel that this is actually not allot of visits overall and may have seen a higher number of those visits at the time you visited this morning. It may have also been a one off or the fact that our members are used to training with very few members in the club that when there are more than 10 people on the floor, which the club can easily accommodate, it feels busy. Usage also does increase in Spring, however tapers out quite quickly again soon after. I can confirm that we have had an increase in visits by 17% today which affected classes more than the floor. I can guarantee you however that one thing we definitely do is control our membership numbers so that our members do not feel crowded as we understanding that our client group is after this service. I ask that you stick with us Shaun and I think that you will find its not a regular occurrence. Would love to have a chat to you about this if you would like to discuss.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym! Great equipment and very friendly and approachable staff, especially Damian he's the greatest!!
Thank you so much for your kind review Peter. It is much appreciated.
Fantastic experience: Love this gym it’s my home away from home!!!
We love having you♥️
Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member at 6 Degrees South for 7 years. Staff have always been super friendly and happy to give advice. There’s a good range of classes and I love that it’s not one of those massive gyms where you have to wait in line to use equipment. You can get in and out in good time. It’s also handy having the 67 tram stop right out front in case the weather turns bad. If you’re thinking of starting at a gym, this is one where you won’t feel like everyone’s watching. Everyone is really respectful and there for the same reason, to enhance their health and wellbeing
You are gorgeous Yvette!! Right down to the tram stop out the front, which I agree, people may not be aware of. Thank you for such a great review. We appreciate all of our members that take the time to review their experiences with us. We love having you here enjoying the classes and chatting every time you are in. You are a pleasure :).
Fantastic experience: I have been attending this gym for over 10 years and have always found it to be clean, Friendly and not too crowded. Attendants take personal interest in members and assist with my training even so I do not have a personal trainer. I would have given them 10 stars if I could.
What a wonderful review Michael. Thank you so much for your very kind words. We will take the 10 stars :)! Look forward to seeing your smiling face again in here soon.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Anthony for the last few years. Thank you for helping me get back into shape after the lockdowns.....
Thanks Chris, you brighten up the place every Wednesday night when you burst through the doors with all of your energy! Anthony will be so pleased you took the time to review both his and our service.
Fantastic experience: Excellent local gym with friendly, helpful staff, reasonable prices and diverse offerings. They cater to everyone and services are very accessible. Highly qualified staff too. Thank you and keep it up
Thanks Helen, such a pleasure to see you all coming in for you classes. Love that you love it!
Fantastic experience: Great local gym with professional friendly staff. Classes run on time and offer a truly varied workout for total body wellbeing. Have to mention Rob and Stefan who keep us motivated and coming back for more! Thanks guys
Thanks Laura, love the energy that you guys bring to the club each Monday, Wednesday and Friday morning and love the investment you all make in your own fitness.
Negative experience: Instead of justifying - maybe fix the issue! My daughter signed up for a membership at the gym and was sent a message by one of the workers at the gym. She paid a $50 deposit for a key and a tour of the gym to be shown around. She was sent a message to be at the gym on a certain time and day so she could be let in and shown around. The person who sent her the message did not show up and did not tell attempt to communicate this with her OR attempt to reschedule. I called twice and left two voicemail messages on the gym’s answering machine and no one bothered responding. My daughter was then charged. Membership fee, despite not being able to access the gym and still not receiving a call, text or email to reschedule. My daughter is just out of high school. This gym has taken $100 from her and not provided ANY service. Poor form. I called and the person on the phone just kept repeating…. We are. Fully staffed gym. Completely irrelevant if you can’t even get in the front door!!!
Hello, your phone call yesterday was the first time we have had any conversation with you regarding this. Rather than allowing a two way conversation, you simply ended it by hanging up. Your daughter joined online 5 weeks ago, three weeks of which have been in lock down where an automatic suspension was in place. On line signups require you to visit the club in order to activate your personal fob to give you access during unstaffed times, where you will find the doors to be locked. We contacted Leila yesterday to discuss the situation personally and she informed us that she will be in this week to resolve it soon. We have already offered Leila a refund or the opportunity to commence her membership as she once intended prior to you writing this review. I'm sure Leila will confirm this. Perhaps you should have spoken to her prior to writing this unfair review.
Fantastic experience: Love this gym! Training at 6 Degrees South is perfect for my physical and mental health and wellbeing. It has friendly staff and experienced PTs who work with people of all ages and abilities, plus a great community of members. Definite value for money from my membership - I recommend everyone in the area check it out.
You are a star Lisa! Thank you so much for the great review. It is by far the best community of members that I have ever experienced! Couldn't agree with you more.
Fantastic experience: I am a member of 6 Degrees South Gym for quite a while now, and I have finally decided to officially complement the owners and staff for their effort on improving the experience of working out at the gym. The new equipment and the lay out makes it easy for anyone to exercise . Whatever you prefer; Weight Machines or Free Weights, you have here enough to choose from to satisfy any need no matter if you just would like to improve your wellbeing or to build your muscles. It's cleanliness and medium size gives you fell of friendly and pleasant Boutique Gym. This is how I personally feel about 6 Degrees South Gym, and I truly believe that all members would agree with me.
Thank you Greg for the amazing review. I know I certainly agree with you. Thanks for sticking with us for so many years. Our long term members are the reason we are who we are.
Fantastic experience: I’ve trained at 6 degrees for many years and love the boutique feel of the gym. The staff are incredibly friendly helpful and welcoming and they house some of the best trainers I’ve ever worked with shout-out to Rob! A great gym for those living in Elsternwick and surrounding suburbs
We appreciate your review Danielle and so does Rob. Thanks so much for taking the time share your experience with others. It really helps.
Fantastic experience: Great gym! Friendly and accommodating staff. I love a no fuss gym where you can go in and do your thing and feel comfortable. This gym is safe, clean, close to home, great prices! They've always helped me whenever I've had anything to raise. Love my local! :)
We certainly are no fuss and have lots of no fuss members which makes you all such a wonderful group of people to be with every day. Really appreciate the review Kim.
Fantastic experience: I enjoy my workouts at 6 Degrees South. The space is great, and all of the equipment I like is there. I train with David, a terrific PT who adds a healthy mix of weights and kickboxing into my morning session. He gets my heart rate up. Managers Lilly and Tas are lovely to chat with, and always makes you feel welcome. Plus, the gym is very clean with lots of sprays and paper towels to wipe down benches and weights. Highly recommend.
You are amazing Paul. Thanks for the review. We love David too! He is a terrific PT and a great group training instructor as well. Appreciate you taking the time to review us and for your on going support.
Fantastic experience: Lock Down 4.0 but thankfully my gym is surviving. great club, great down to earth staff and seriously great members. been there couple of years now, such a great find
Lock down 4.0 done and dusted!! We are still here, thanks to our incredible community of members. #blessed!!!
Fantastic experience: Awesome gym. Very clean and not crowded
Fantastic experience: I am seriously missing my club whilst we are in lockdown. I absolutely love this gym and all of the staff are amazing. I have been a member for years and can’t wait to start training again when it reopens.
Awesome review Sam. Very grateful to have such a great community of members who we absolutely love!
Fantastic experience: Great local gym, friendly staff, feel like part of the family. Met my wife here 18 yrs ago and still a member!
Thanks Nigel, can't believe it's been 18 years and can't believe that we have know each other that long! Looking forward to another 18 years of health & fitness together.
Fantastic experience: It’s a great place to have a workout with good facilities, and connect with friendly staff and other patrons.
Love the review Ari. We are so lucky to have a club full of wonderful members like yourself. It makes for such a great working environment for us and fitness environment for you. Keep training!
Fantastic experience: My husband and I joined a few months ago now and we are so happy here. Looking forward to meeting my training goals in 2020.
Thanks so much Izza for the great review. It means the world to know that you are both so happy here. Looking forward to a fit and fun 2020 with you guys.
Fantastic experience: Just joined this gym with my wife a few months ago ans we absolutely love it, Staff are great, trainers are motivating and the atmosphere is very easy going- Highly reccomend.
Hi Trevor, both you and Izza have been a breath of fresh air since you both walked in the door. Thank you so much for taking the time to put such a positive review forward on the clubs behalf. Looking forward to a great 2020 of training with you both.
Positive experience: Friendly gym without the egos and pretentiousness. Chris at the front desk is an absolute star (although I haven’t seen him around for a while). Good selection of free weights and racks - sadly lacking in a lot of commercial gyms these days. They lose a star from me only because despite their range of plates, they don’t offer any alternative bars. A hex bar for deads and a safety bar for squats would be a good starting point. They really help people who are battling injuries or are otherwise inflexible. I’d also love to see a water fountain in place of their current setup for those days you forget to bring your bottle! Keep up the good work, guys. In response to the gym: you do not have safety barbells. Those are safety pins attached to the squat rack. Please consider getting safety barbells and hex barbells. Thanks
Thanks for the great review.. Chris will love his personal review as well. Sadly he broke his elbow a couple of months ago and is still healing. A reminder that we do have safety bars available for the squat area and we do recommend that they are always used in the name of safety. Please feel free to chat to one of us next time you are in to show you how they work on the rack. Always happy for feedback from members on what we are lacking as well and often happily oblige our members if a certain piece of equipment is missing. We will put the hex bar on the list! Regarding our choice of a filtered water tap dispenser over a fountain is purely hygiene reasons. It was the option which best suited our client base. Whilst we do understand the inconvenience of forgetting a water bottle on occasions, always check with reception to see if we have paper cups available, which is often the case. Look forward to seeing you at the club soon.
Fantastic experience: I love this gym!! Been a member for 5 years and and it has been such a positive experience. Great classes, that suit everyone’s fitness levels and really challenge you. I have also been training with one of their great trainers, Anthony for the last 5 years and he is fantastic! This gym provides everything you need with a great atmosphere, wonderful stuff and friendly members.
Thanks so much for the great review Lucy, Anthony is going to love this!! Thank you for your commitment to your fitness and our club, its really great to see you training so consistently all of the time and the benefits that come with this.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member for 8 years now & love the place! Great classes, great instructors & great management. Not pretentious, friendly and great value. Lovely fellow members too
That's an awesome review Annie, and you know that this is exactly what we strive to achieve. Thank you for your continued support Annie.
Fantastic experience: This is a great gym, always friendly staff and a really good atmosphere. I love especially the curcuit classes which have pushed me to a different level. It is a way of life for me, so thank you everyone at six degrees
Thanks so much Pam. As a member of this club for over 20 years, your continued support means to world to us.
Fantastic experience: Excellent; thoroughly recommend. This gym has all the equipment you need for a full body workout. The classes are brilliant; challenging but also personally tailored to suit all fitness levels. It’s not an intimidating place to workout and the staff are very helpful, passionate, approachable, welcoming & knowledgeable. My favourite gym experience to date.
Thanks Julie for bringing your high energy to the gym every time you walk through the door.
Negative experience: I was told my membership would be suspended while travelling long term, but returned to be told that since there was no proof of this, it must never have happened, and I would not be able to return to the gym without paying again. What an elaborate thing this would be to make up! Clearly one of the staff has made a big mistake in saying we could have the suspension and not giving us a receipt, but the owner has effectively just told us we're lying and refused to honour or even acknowledge what happened. This was an incredibly disappointing experience and I will never return.
Hi Stephanie, I have already responded to your husbands review Eliott Fisher yesterday. I have attached the same response ...............Hello Elliot, as mentioned to your wife, there was no suspension approved for a 12 month period. To assist you we conducted a thorough search of your files which revealed no such agreement existed. If it had been actioned you would also have a record, which you do not have. It's highly unusual that one suspension would not be actioned... let alone twice. The staff ARE competent and trained in completing processes. Renewal membership rates were offered as a good will gesture. We are disappointed that you are feeling frustrated as we strive to serve our customers. We wish you all the best.
Fantastic experience: I’ve trained here twice a week for years with my amazing trainer Lis, it’s a such a great gym! Everyone is so friendly and helpful and the classes are action packed, challenging and different every week.
Hey Nicky, thank so you much for taking the time to leave a review. We're happy to hear that you are loving the gym & Lis. She is a winner, that's for sure. Speaking of winners, well done to you over the past years. Your transformation has been nothing short of spectacular!! Your bright and happy face lights up the club and a huge thank you for always being willing to participate in our facebook and instagram posts. You're awesome!!
Negative experience: Incompetent staff and an owner unwilling to take responsibility. My wife and I tried to resume our suspended memberships recently only to find that they had no record of the suspensions and our memberships were expired. Eventually dealt directly with the owner who refused to believe that we had suspended the memberships even though she was contacted to approve the original suspension. Obviously a complete failure of their employee training and/or systems. Get this, the owner used the opportunity to try to sell us new memberships instead of actually resolving the problem! We couldn't believe it either. It was 18 weeks of two memberships that they've effectively stolen from us. Certainly won't be coming back, I'd recommend Zap Fitness down the road instead.

Fantastic experience: Awesome trainers and great facilities
Thanks Jesse for the outstanding review. So glad you are enjoying the club, trainers and people. Love having you as part of our gym!
Fantastic experience: Great membership options. Very flexible and only three month contracts rather than some places that expect 18 month commitment. The ‘FIT’ classes run in there are similar to the ones run at f45 studios and just as good
Hi Carl, Thanks for the great review!! We love having you as part of the 6 Degrees South community. Keep enjoying the classes and keep up the hard work..
Fantastic experience: Great gym. Great classes. Friendly and helpful staff
Hi Ell, love the review, to the point, just like you, which of course we love too!!
Fantastic experience: such an amazing gym! Would definitely recommend this to anyone.
Thanks Kim. You are awesome!
Fantastic experience: Highly reccomend this place if you are looking for a full equipt gym with new facilities and friendly staff
Thanks Helen, really appreciate the 5 start review.
Fantastic experience: Great gym, very good classes and equipment would recommend.
Negative experience: Les Mills classes were cancelled with no warning, not stoked because they continue to charge for an extra 30 days after cancellation, even though they don't offer the same services as when I signed up. I tried to explain that I wasn't impressed but reception was like "computer says noooo" Edit : you sent so much promotional material through in December that my email account assumed you were spam. Not on!
Hi Alex, I'm sorry you had a bad experience with us. However there was lots of warning that we were renovating and bringing in a new generation of exciting classes and new equipment. The new group fitness timetable was available on our website at the beginning of January with the new timetable commencing on the 5th of February at the completion of our renovation. There were clearly no Les Mills classes on the timetable when the new timetable was posted. You could have cancelled prior to the change over. When we spoke at the desk and you requested back pay refund since the classes changed I explained that we don't have contracts and lock people in but we do have 30 days notice to cancel. I wish you the best in your future fitness endevours
Fantastic experience: I have been a member at 6 Degrees South for over 20 years. Obviously I wouldn't train anywhere else. Love it here.
Thanks Graham, you are awesome!!
Positive experience: Not a gym for people who train seriously
Hi Stephanie, our gym is currently under renovation with lots of new, very serious equipment arriving soon, and a great new FIT ZONE with functional training classes, boxing, virtual classes, spin, yoga etc opening on Monday the 5th of Feb 2018. We are however, NOT a specific Body Building gym if that is what you mean by "people who train seriously", mind you I do think most of our members would disagree with that statement. As you are not a member of our club & are likely to have only visited us once or twice, I suggest your re-visit us in a couple of months time once the renovation of the gym area will also be complete, to give us another try. We look forward to possibly seeing you again then.
Fantastic experience: After being a member for roughly 9 years i can safely recommend that this is an easy going gym with friendly trainers. Well done 6 Degrees on your consistency with prices and friendly approach :)
You are awesome Ami!! We would like to thank you for being such an easy going, consistent gym member who we truley value.
Fantastic experience: Awesome gym!
Fantastic experience: Brilliant gym. Personalized, customized service and care you'll never get from a chain gym.
Fantastic experience: A great space, friendly staff and awesome classes and equipment
Fantastic experience: Love this gym.More than enough equipment ,and super friendly staff. Have been going for years ,and highly recommend . Has a boutique feel ,never over crowded.
Negative experience: This people r very greedy and after sign up,they don't give your money back.Owner of this place they don't care,never recommended this place
Hello Briva, We are a little perplexed as to why you would write such a review? You called us on the 3rd of August 2017 to cancel your membership. You were notified on this day by phone by our club manager, that you need to complete and return a cancellation form, of which was also emailed to you on the 3rd of August. You were informed that once we received your completed cancellation form that it would be processed from that date with 30 days notice. You had every opportunity to complete the form and return it on the 3rd of August for processing. As per the term and conditions of your membership when you joined 6 Degrees South, you were notified in person and via email that there is a 30 day notice cancellation period, a standard in the fitness industry. We do not have long 12 month contracts to fulfill so its not a difficult thing to provide this notice once you know you will no longer be requiring our services, and you agreed to these terms and conditions by signing your contract. You did in-fact return your cancellation form via email on the 17/8/17 and I quote your exact message, "Sorry for the delay, my cancellation form is attached". This was only 3 Days ago so my apologies for failing to see the issue, or the accusation of not returning money to you? We are happy to talk with you further if you would like to speak to us again.
Fantastic experience: Love it, great people, great atmosphere. Everyone is super friendly!
Thank you so much for that great review Vasantha. That is exactly the experience we try to create here at the club and appreciate our members feedback more than you know. Keep training!!
Positive experience: Old style gym , good layout .
Thank you very much for your feedback Stuart. We look forward to more improvements at the Gym in the near future:)
Fantastic experience: I have been to many gyms over the years and I love that 6 Degrees has a friendly and relaxed feel. Classes are great!
Thank you for your great feedback Christie!:)
Negative experience: After repeated requests to have my membership terminated they continued to take money from my account. Then they asked me to remove my review in order to get my money back- being on a disability pension I needed that money. Nasty, thieves is my opinion.(following is response to 6 Deg answer to first review) Now (In your response to the first half of this review 6/5/17) you're saying you didn't take money from my account after I cancelled my membership- Totally untrue (and my issue was never resolved at all) and I have the transcript to prove your asking me to change my review in order to get my 3 payments back. I didn't change it and my money was NEVER returned. Even after I said I'd play your game when I received the money and I never did. Your lying is infuriating and in no way scares me off- I'll prove my case to anyone who asks with the Emails from you/ your staff. I was a member for years and this is how you chose to treat me. I brought 4 other members to you and you ripped me off with no remorse at all.
Hello Damien Blake, we resolved your issue years ago. We can see from your file that no money was taken from your account by 6 Degrees South once you cancelled your membership with us as you are well aware from previous conversations with us. We hope that you can now curb your creative licence on this topic. You have responded negatively under your 2 other profiles which include Wood Made Good and Big Laffes. Respectfully we ask that you please go about your business and let us get on with ours without the need to further defame us. We are happy to discuss this directly with you again on 9528 1024 to further clarify anything else you may need.
Positive experience: Bottom Line: It's a good gym. No Nonsense. Classes excellent. Perfect for working out in your own gym bubble of concentration.
Love the No Nonsense comment Gourney!! We agree and that's what we aim for! Keep training.
Fantastic experience: I love this gym! Never too crowded, staff are always friendly and Deano is an awesome PT!
Thanks Candace, we agree, Deano is the best!! :)
Negative experience: I was a long term member but they've become more and more like fitness first in their dirty money grabbing ways. In NO WAY do i recommend this facility. Up the road is a much newer 24 hr place that you pay less money for. 6 degrees WAS fantastic for years but lately... well, just don't bother. THEY WON'T RETURN THE MONEY THEY TOOK AFTER I REQUESTED TO LEAVE- I'M BROKE AND IN DIRE FINANCIAL HARDSHIP AND THEY BLACKMAILED ME SAYING I WOULDN'T GET MY MONEY BACK UNTIL I CHANGED THIS REVIEW- If i could say anything more negative I would- bad bad people (aside from staff who were usually helpful) I BROUGHT YOU MANY MEMBERS- i will ensure I bring you no more.
