BFT Airport West: Opinions
Fantastic experience: I thought I would get this review in before we unfortunately say a ‘soft’ goodbye to BFT APW. My partner and I Patrick have been attending here for 2 years now and I can safely say it’s the best gym in the Essendon Area. Personally, I don’t really enjoy cardio and as such have always found their trainers to be motivating compared to other BFTs I’ve visited, (I’ve been to 10 different BFTs) A majority of the trainers have higher education in the health and fitness space, many being health care professionals. It’s admirable to see them continue to stay fit, competing in various competitions themselves and setting a good example. BFT APW training is very technical, and I have never once heard them mention aesthetics as being a reason to do a certain exercise over the other. They focus on form, comradery, and social side of exercise. A lot of the members are also extremely fit and consistent and it’s a nice atmosphere to be around. Another thing worth noting is that they are very pro training during pregnancy and as a Pelvic Physio I have always admired this and their ability to offer alternatives to prenatal pop. We really appreciate that the trainers got so involved with Hyrox and cheered on members who competed. They also run social events as well. Essendon locals, you would be silly to not consider a trial at BFT Aiport West. The only reason we are parting ways is that we are moving to west Melbourne but will definitely be back every now and then for a visit.
Oh Therese, this is such a bitter sweet moment for us. As much as we love reading this (and please know I will pass this on to the rest of the team) it is also extremely sad that we are going to have to say goodbye to you both. It has been an absolute pleasure having you two in the studio and please know you will be missed very much so but are always welcome to come in and visit whenever you are in the area. Thank you for both being such amazing and inspirational members. Love the whole team at BFT APW

Fantastic experience: I have been going to BFT Airport West for about a year now. I switched from another BFT after moving, however, compared to the previous one and from what I’ve heard others say about the BFT they go to, I have never felt luckier to live close to this one. The team here are amazing – they really push you, encourage you and motivate you, especially if they see that you are slowing down or cheating yourself. If they see you are doing something incorrectly, they make sure to correct you. The trainers really know their stuff and they go out of their way to get to know you as a person. The vibes of the community are also great, everyone is just so welcoming when you enter. It is just so different compared to going to other gyms like Derrimut and it is really motivating to want to go train
Thanks so much for spending the time to share your experience. Your words mean more to us than you know. Keep bringing that energy. We love having you part of our community!
Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member at BFT Airport west for nearly 4 years now, and it’s honestly changed my life! There is so much good to be said about this place - all the coaches are EXCEPTIONAL, their knowledge is second to none, getting the best out of me and the other members in every session, it’s also a bonus that they’re just downright legends! The vibe and community at airport west is also amazing which motivates me to continue training most days. The facility itself is clean and inviting. Whether you’re just starting out or have been training for ages, BFTs approach and training blocks are suited to everyone of all ages and fitness levels. Can’t recommend this place highly enough!
Thanks so much Ebs for sharing this! We really do bounce off your energy, and you definitely bring a positive vibe to our studio. So grateful for you!

Thanks Steven! We love having you as a part of our community, keep on killing it!
Fantastic experience: Wow, what a place BFT Airport West has become under a new owner and Team. I've been training for year's and never seen the results that have paid off as much as training at BFT Airport West in the last 6 months. I have dropped over 10kg and find it easy to keep off the weight. A real family vibe that also promotes a perfect scene for all age groups. No matter what your age, body size or shape this team will work with you to achieve your goals and make you feel like you're the only member they think about. All members are friendly and welcoming. This place is a must to try out...
Thanks Andre! Love having you part of our community!
Fantastic experience: Loving Dani’s team at BFT at Airport West. The coaches are friendly and genuine. BFT has taught me to enjoy exercise and I’ve hit targets I’ve never thought I’d be able to achieve. Would definitely recommend to someone who is new to fitness world or someone who loves a team environment :)
Thanks so much Renee! Love seeing your face daily ❤️
Fantastic experience: What an amazing gym! Having tried other BFT gyms as well as similar other functional training systems, I couldn't be happier to have found the team at BFT Airport West. The classes are always so varied and keep me challenged and engaged. The trainers here go above and beyond, taking a genuine interest in helping you to reach your individual goals, which really helps to motivate you and keep you focused. Dee and the team create an excellent vibe in the studio, making it a fun, supportive and exciting place to be daily. Highly recommend!
Thanks Sarah!
Fantastic experience: There is a wonderful sense of community at BFT Airport West and this comes down to the brilliant trainers. From the moment I joined, I was welcomed by name and felt very comfortable. Special shout out to Diarna, Rhys and Lysh for the support and always pushing me. Love our BFT family. Lyn
Fantastic experience: I have tried a few gyms in the last couple of years but Body Fit Training Airport West is by far the best. All of the trainers are so welcoming, friendly and really push you to your limits. There is such a positive energy during all of the classes which makes working out fun. Body Fit Training has a great range of exercise and really good music to keep you going.
Thanks Julia! We love seeing your face at 6am every morning (well nearly every morning )
Fantastic experience: I have been a member at BFT Airport West since Mar '21 and all I can say is the team here are amazing! All the trainers are so welcoming and also motivating. They push you and encourage you! I have felt welcomed since the first day I walked in for a trial - I was nervous coming in (as it always is starting at a new gym) but I had NOTHING to worry about! Diarna does an AMAZING job of running the studio and she has made the transition so easy - It's actually motivating to want to go to train :)
Hey Alex, Thank you so much for your feedback. You are an incredible addition to our BFT family and are so glad your transition into our facility was seamless. We are look forward to continuing your health and fitness journey with you :)
Fantastic experience: If you want amazing results with professional, supportive and knowledgeable trainers, BodyFit Airport West/ Niddrie is the place to go! I gained 20+ kgs throughout COVID and struggled to get back into training but with the support of D I finally signed up for BodyFit and haven’t looked back! There is a significant difference between BodyFit and any other training facility I have been to before - the main difference is the genuine care and support for members.. for example, after I injured myself in AFL I had some time off BodyFit and D reached out to ensure I was ok and how I was tracking and encouraged me to come back when ready and offered to alter the sessions to work around my injury! Also, a big shout out to Alysha for making my first session back a breeze and pain free - she was super informative and caring and amended all the exercises to accommodate for my injury. The training facility is clean and accommodating for individuals of all fitness levels. Well done team, I’m keen for the results to come!
We love having you here Gemma, Thank you for taking the time to give such an incredible review. We love assisting you and all of our members to achieve great results- but above all, have so much fun when you're here!
Fantastic experience: I love training at BFT Airport West! The coaches are amazing - super supportive, encouraging and so much fun. The members are really friendly and welcoming. The training is the perfect balance of difficult, sweaty, fun and surprising! I’m even motivated enough to get up at 5am - smash out a workout and feel awesome for the rest of the day! I can’t recommend it highly enough
