UVSL

Fantastic experience: After a whole year off exercise due to medical reasons - I found this gem only 5 mins from home! Never have I ever lifted weights, always been a pilates girl as weights are intimidating, but UVSL is the complete opposite. Everyone is so welcoming and supportive, and all the staff truly want you to succeed. It is about training consistently, pushing yourself and the trainers make sure you are doing the correct technique to avoid injury. I am only a month in, but I LOVE it and won’t be going elsewhere.

Fantastic experience: UVSL is hands down the best program I’ve tried. In just 11 weeks, I went from bench pressing 16kg to 30kg, thanks to their no-nonsense approach and expert guidance – I never have to worry about posture or movements. The women-only group class is welcoming and supportive, with everyone working at their own pace, which keeps me coming back. If you’ve struggled with weight training, UVSL is the one to try!

Fantastic experience: I have been coming here for a year and this place is amazing! Ellie and the UVSL team have created a very welcoming space for women to train. The classes are fantastic and there is so much support for generally improving your overall health and wellbeing. If you have ever thought about doing strength training then this is the place for you!

Fantastic experience: UVSL is a very unique place. It's amazing how much progress can be achieved with the right guidance. I am incredibly happy that I have joined, and I highly recommend UVSL to any woman that wants to get strong and fit in no time. Coaching is marvellous and variety of classes fantastic. It's a hard work, but truly rewarding. I have started from 2 classes a week and after 2 months I am doing 5, and I LOVE IT!!! Very affordable, very well organised and simply the best !!!

Fantastic experience: I recently joined UVSL and in this short time I already feel stronger, my body is changing shape, my energy levels have increased and my joy factor has up leveled. What a holistic improvement! The classes are varied, the trainers are genuine, the vibe is uplifting and I feel wholeheartedly supported and encouraged, both in class and in the app. Ellie, you’ve created something truly fabulous for all Women that walk through your doors.

Fantastic experience: The best gym I’ve ever been to! I’ve always struggled to stay consistent with Pilates/ doing my own thing but I love the classes at UVSL and haven’t missed a week since I joined. Such an inclusive and judgement free environment and the trainers are amazing ❤️❤️❤️

Fantastic experience: I was very nervous to get back into the gym after over a year of injury and lack of confidence. I didn’t want to go to a ‘normal’ gym because I knew if I did it on my own without proper technique I’d eventually be back to square one with more injuries. I needed a solution but struggled to find somewhere that I could afford and feel a sense of community. I started at UVSL a week ago and I’m so impressed by the class format and that the coaches watch your form throughout the workout. Doing this in a group environment helps me push my boundaries that I couldn’t do on my own. It’s also an all female gym so the energy is unmatched and supportive no matter your skill level. While it’s only been a week and I have a long way to go, I’m feeling super confident that right now, this is the place where I can get fit and strong again. I’m ready to achieve my fitness goals for 2025!

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love UVSL. I’ve never been confident with weight training or appreciated how important is it before working with Ellie and the UVSL team. A few months in and I’m so much stronger - it’s helped my confidence and my strength (I can carry my daughter easily now and run faster and further). Such a great example of how a female owned and run business shines! Give it a go, it’s the best x

Fantastic experience: UVSL has completely transformed my body. The education and tips that I have learned from the instructors has been huge, and made me see results so much quicker than anything else I tried previously (I even had PT’s). Everyone is so friendly and helpful, and truely is built to move at your own pace.

Fantastic experience: Couldn't recommend Ellie and the UVSL team enough! An amazing program and team who have you feeling the best and strongest you have ever felt!

Fantastic experience: Best women’s gym in Melbourne! Great fun, vibe and sense of community. The workouts are carefully designed making it easy to push yourself or not depending on how you feel that day or what fitness level you are. The workouts are not repetitive. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I started with the 6 week reset last year, and enjoyed it so much I just kept continuing on! A supportive, non-intimidating environment for women. Plenty of direction and 1:1 time with the trainers, ensuring your form is correct and that you’re pushing yourself by gradually weight loading over the 6 week blocks. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: From when I made the initial call to UVSL the owner was so welcoming and warming making me feel so comfortable to join up. Since joining 8mths ago have had amazing results in weight loss and strength but the best part it’s a women only gym so no intimidation felt at all about lack of ability Highly recommend joining if you want results

Fantastic experience: Ellie and the team at UVSL have created such an amazing space for women to workout and feel strong. I’ve been going for a few months now and already feel so much stronger and more confident - would highly recommend to anyone wanting to build strength in a coaching style environment.

Fantastic experience: Such a great place! I love this gym and all of the helpful, friendly staff

I look forward to going to the gym which is something I’d never thought I’d say! Ellie and her team are approachable and experienced coaches who make the experience amazing! Highly recommend to all ladies in the area!

Fantastic experience: Ellie and the team do an amazing job at UVSL. I took up the opportunity to do the 7-day trial and tried out all of the class types. I signed up to a 6 month contract within the week. It’s a welcoming, inclusive, no-ego environment. All of the workouts can altered to accomodate my injury. Love it, can’t recommend it enough.

Fantastic experience: Could not be happier I joined UVSL. This is the first time I have committed to a gym for a whole year! Ellie and the team have been wonderful. Motivating and helpful in teaching me technique when I was too embarrassed to go to any other gym because of “form”. The workouts are great and keep me coming back each week feeling stronger!

Fantastic experience: Great gym filled with supportive, empowering women

Fantastic experience: UVSL has truly transformed my life. As a mum of two, I was hesitant to go back to a 'gym', but I genuinely enjoy the workouts and am now in the best shape and feeling the healthiest I've been in years. I feel supported and can't thank Ellie and the team enough!

Fantastic experience: Such an amazing space with supportive and knowledgeable trainers!! Finally enjoying training again and feeling more confident and like myself again! I look forward to going to each class and the atmosphere is empowering and inclusive to all. Can’t recommend UVSL enough

Fantastic experience: If you’re living in the Bayside/Kingston area and love Barry’s, 1R or Orangetheory but cannot be bothered commuting to South Yarra for a high quality, energizing boutique fitness experience - look no further! UVSL is the perfect place. New workouts all the time, gorgeous clean studio, fun-upbeat music that’s either banging throwbacks or current jams and motivational trainers that will jump in to correct you + or give you guidance to help out. I’ve been loving being apart of UVSL for the past few weeks!

Fantastic experience: UVSL is a gym like no other. Ellie and her team are all so engaging and supportive. No matter what your fitness level is, the environment and the classes work for everyone and every body type. A year in and I’ve never enjoyed a gym so consistently.

Fantastic experience: Best gym in bayside - Ellie rocks

Fantastic experience: One of the best gyms, I’ve been to so far. UVSL is a clean and best equipped space. My personal highlight are the extremely empowering and friendly girls, encouraging everyone to push beyond their limits. No random exercises, but clearly well-structured workout plans every month. Additionally, I appreciate the supportive environment (and good music) .

Fantastic experience: My absolute favourite workouts are done at UVSL and they have transformed the way I train. It is such a fun, happy and positive environment. Ellie and the girls are amazing and invest so much time into everyone, not only in class but also outside of class too. The best way to start the day!

Fantastic experience: The best gym. I love the variety of classes and have noticed myself build up strength and endurance since starting!

Fantastic experience: UVSL is the most engaging workout experience - when you are in the studio, you can really feel that Ellie and Dwayne have poured their heart and soul into creating such an amazing environment for women! The workouts are everything you want - challenging and varied (strength, cardio, barre and pilates), designed for you to make progress week to week and most importantly, fun! I love starting my day at UVSL. Being surrounded by women who enjoy it equally as much as me really creates such a positive and motivating community! I couldn’t recommend UVSL highly enough for anyone who is looking to build their strength and endurance and improve their mindset, all while enjoying the process! Thanks Ellie and Dwayne x

Fantastic experience: The best!! I started UVSL at the beginning of 2020 and since then have seen incredible progress in my strength, endurance and overall health and fitness. The trainers are amazing - they are knowledgeable, supportive, and truly care about helping their clients reach their goals. I highly recommend UVSL for anyone looking for a positive, welcoming environment with effective training methods and, fantastic trainers! <3

Fantastic experience: Love this place!!!!

Fantastic experience: Great workout/s! Strong and challenging but with a focus on technique and individual ability. There’s no competitiveness against anyone but yourself and you can show up and work out depending on your body on the day. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: UVSL is the mental and physical health boost I needed to get out of my post-COVID funk; 4 dresses down…. 3 to go.

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love this place! The most incredible trainers who always push you, and the workouts are awesome! Great bunch of people to train with

Fantastic experience: I was nervous stepping into the gym after my 2nd baby but after the 1st class I knew I was in the best place to reach my goals. They motivate and support and provide a safe non judgemental friendly environment to work out and push yourself. Offering awesome support with varied classes, technique, nutrition and helping you with what you want to change or improve on you feel guided and challenged to be a better version of yourself. Highly recommend. Music sets you up for a great day!!! Thanks Ellie

Fantastic experience: A fabulous gym, tailoring to everything WOMAN! The workouts are amazing; they are structured and engaging and make me want to do the workout to the best of my capability. I love the way that I can see my weekly improvements in my sculpt classes and how my endurance has increased in my sweat classes. Mardi and Ellie are such positive and encouraging people, that I want to make them proud also. Since joining UVSL in 2021, I have seen such amazing results, in my strength mainly, but also having a better relationship with food and my mind. I would gladly refer UVSL to any of my friends and to anyone who wants to feel comfortable in a gym, without the fear of being judged.

Fantastic experience: UVSL gets me up in the morning and motivates me to push myself to my limits (literally). Mardi and Ellie are always there with a big smile on their faces and put together awesome workouts where you can actually see and feel results. Love the community and the vibes and forever grateful for a safe space to just turn up and try my best - and also having the best trainers <3

Fantastic experience: BEST workout I’ve ever been to!!! Such a lovely and inviting environment! I love coming in for my workouts, I look forward to the classes every time. All levels welcome, you can challenge yourself and there is no competition. Love that it’s an all women gym so I can really focus on myself. All trainers are so amazing and welcoming

Fantastic experience: Nothing better than some motivation and technique advise all In one class, getting pushed to your limit. Love UVSL and Ellie’s method of strength training, couldn’t recommend enough xx

Fantastic experience: I was referred to Dwayne at UVSL following a back and knee injury. 2 years later I have made full recovery and am getting stronger every month. Cannot recommend these guys enough! Dwayne is always patient with my many, many questions and is well educated on the dietary components of strength and fitness building, as well as the physiological and scientific literature in his field.

Fantastic experience: Amazing non pretentious gym. Run by husband and wife Dwayne and Ellie who are passionate about people’s success no matter where they are with their fitness. It’s the best gym experience I’ve ever had. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Ellie and Dwayne were so friendly, welcoming and encouraging as soon as we set foot inside. My husband and I were newbies to the personal trainer concept, but Ellie ensured our program was perfectly tailored to our needs and any nerves we had were soon gone. We absolutely love UVSL and look forward to our PT sessions together. The studio is spacious and has awesome equipment. Thanks very much Ellie for setting up challenges for us, we love it!

Fantastic experience: From my first interaction with Dwayne & Ellie and their business they have been responsive, professional and friendly. I appreciated the call to discuss my needs and the initial orientation visit. I love my PT sessions with Dwayne - varied but building on prior sessions, and I really like his focus on form and technique.

Fantastic experience: What a stunningly gorgeous gym and what superstar trainers Ellie & Dwayne are!! I love training at UVSL and the variety of classes they offer are fantastic. I highly recommend UVSL!

Fantastic experience: Awesome environment to get fit and healthy. Hooked BIG TIME! Couldn’t speak more highly

Fantastic experience: Dedicated, knowledgeable and personal service. Excellent trainers who encourage and push you as necessary.

Fantastic experience: Dwayne and Ellie are fabulous trainers. Very supportive and tailored approach, and flexible to accommodate different strength and fitness levels in the same session (my husband and I train together). Extremely knowledgeable when dealing with specific issues including injuries and post partum, and very technique focused for overall health and well-being. I’ve been in and out of gyms over the years, but this is the first place I have stuck with because of the culture and approach - highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: UVSL helped me address my weight issue and lack of muscle condition. I felt that it was important to improve my fitness as I approached 50 years young. Thank you Dwayne and Ellie
