Northside Movement: Opinions
Fantastic experience: Northside movement is like a family! The vibe is so friendly, so welcoming - it doesn't require extra motivation to attend! The classes ad trainers are excellent! What can I say. They really are passionate about what they do and walk the talk too. I particularly loved the Strong classes as my priority is strength. The exercises are varied, and they will spot you when you're a beginner if you're unsure, and a nice surprise is the brief cardio at the end - leaving you walk out of there feeling amazing! The trainer will get to know what you can/can't do and give just the right amount of encouragement, so I always felt a sense of achievement by the end. Highly recommend this place. I'm moving from the area, so cannot continue. Glad I had that time there, and has set the standard! Thank you NorthSide Movement.x
Fantastic experience: The best gym I’ve ever experienced by an absolute mile. The environment, community, equipment, coaching - it’s really an extraordinary place. Mike, Nat and Liv - you’re superstars.
Hi Tom, You’re also in our top 200 members. We’ve only a small group at 130.. but you the made 200! Jokes. You are also pretty cool.. soon to be cooler when you actually turn up to TEAM ON Saturday sometime this year ♂️
Fantastic experience: Best training experience with Mike Natalie and members! It is a shame it was my short weekend trip to Melbourne, otherwise I will be doing this everyday, will definitely join the training at my every Melbourne visit. The gym culture is very welcoming, supportive, encouraging and inclusive for members with a diverse fitness background, felt being taken care of by the whole big family. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Great environment - excellent people and programming !

Thanks for the review Bharath, it's been a pleasure having you and Shruthi involved in our group fitness program. Looking forward to working with you both to continue kicking those training goals.
Fantastic experience: I’ve had gym memberships since I was 16 & in those 20 years and 3 countries - I put Northside Movement at number 1! Quality of coaching, information, advice, accountability, fun, sense of community, and a family friendly space are just some of the reasons why my husband (and two children) love it here!
Thanks for the lovely feedback Laura. You guys are a solid part of our community at Northside and we are so glad you chose us for your training journey. Keep kicking goals!

Fantastic experience: As a relative newcomer to NSM I already feel part of this beautiful community. The trainers are incredibly knowledgeable and small class sizes mean that classes are adapted to meet my specific needs.
Hey Erin, Thanks for the fabulous feedback and we love that you've settled into the swing of things so quickly! We look forward to an awesome 2023 building our strength up and working our way back towards pain free running! Or you could come to the dark side and just become a full time lycra-clad legend.. :P See you at the studio soon!
Fantastic experience: Amazing and attentive coaches Thanks for an amazing 2022 - bring on 2023!
Thank you BEAR for the review and hopefully one day we'll learn who you actually are so we can thank you for REAL in the studio! We're pumped for a big year and have plenty of fun in the group training program, a new Personal Training Program in development and plenty of events to keep things fun! See you in the studio soon!
Fantastic experience: Such a wonderful fitness studio. Something for everyone from school kids to the mature participants and all levels of fitness. Very inclusive and welcoming.
Thanks for your great feedback Sal! It's been amazing watching you conquer your comfort zone and go after some SCARY goals. Can't wait to see what else you achieve in 2023 you tri-star!
Fantastic experience: Northside movement is the first gym I have ever signed up to and it has been a life changing experience. The group sessions are so much fun and so great for anyone, regardless of gym experience. Nat, Mike and Jess really take such good care of us all. So grateful to be a part of such a welcoming gym with such dedicated staff and members!!
Priya! Thanks for the fantastic feedback and it's been a PLEASURE getting you confident with your strength training and into a good routine. Just so you know, we'll continue planting the seeds for you to conquer some big mountains by bike and maybe even jumping in on the next HALF A HALF event in a few weeks time ;) Thank you again for what you bring to the group training program and here's to many more sessions :)
Fantastic experience: Great gym, large space, very friendly and knowledgeable team, and great program and heaps of schedules to suit one's diary.
Thank you Amir for the kind words mate and we look forward to seeing what "fun" we can put you through this year in the Group Training Program ;)
Fantastic experience: Discovering Northside has been pretty groundbreaking for me. Coming from years of no exercise routine, poor health and a bit of fear around gyms/sports in general, I was sure I would never be a fitness person. I’d walked past Northside a few times and on a whim, I thought I’d give it a shot (and I’m so damn glad I did). I immediately realised this community is incredibly welcoming and positive. The owners have built a very inclusive and authentic culture which makes you want to turn up every day. You’ll find no gym bros or body shaming here; just great people, excellent training and fun.
We are so happy to have you training with us and that all of those factors that make our gym and training studio such a special place have been felt by you. Here's to many more sessions of building strength and getting the brain firing faster than ever with those extended boxing combos that just never seem to end!
Fantastic experience: Mike, Nat and the team you are the best! Always fun but challenging classes. I really enjoy how you make every class unique! Cheers Sasha
Hey Sasha! Thank YOU for always giving everything a red hot crack in the group program and always a pleasure to rock out to your song requests! Keep punching and kicking like only you do and we'll see you in here for some more fun sometime soon!
Fantastic experience: Amazing gym, coaches are super knowledgeable and make training sessions both intense and fun! Gym has an amazing, welcoming environment. Highly recommend!
Thanks Loz. Pleasure delivering all of the fun stuff to you and the crew in the group training program. Here's to an awesome Spring and Summer of training.. and hopefully the sun comes out again sometime soon to make it that little bit easier to wake up in the morning.
Fantastic experience: There's a reason Northside Movement consistently get 5 stars. I've never had access to such knowledgable trainers. Mike, Nat and Jess are in a league of their own but not only that, they make training fun for all involved. The sessions are super versatile and I always finish the week feeling like every part of my body has been challenged. In saying that, by no means should you feel worried about coming here if you're a newbie as everyone is so welcoming. I'm having to move gyms only because I don't live in the area anymore and i'm so sad to leave! I won't be able to replace the vibe of this place. Thanks for a fab time guys!
Hey Elise, Thank you for the fabulous feedback and we absolutely loved having you in over the last few months. You've got yourself back into a better training routine and out the other side now have a stronger body (and mind) so the back pain isn't as troublesome and the energy levels are back up! We're sad to see you go BUT will also have a spot on the TEAM whenever you can make you're way out on a Saturday morning to join in the crazy, sweaty, character building fun. Thanks again!
Fantastic experience: I have gone to many gyms over the years and Northside Movement has definitely been the best. Great training, brilliant community, we work hard and have a lot of fun while doing it! Mike and Nat are very helpful when I have an injury and need a modified program. So glad I found them and became part of the crew!
Thanks so much for the review Tanja, you are a much loved member of our group training community. Here's to many more sessions on laughs, sweat and fun!
Fantastic experience: I joined Northside Movement about 18 months ago, when I moved over from WA. I completely lucked out! The crew are knowledgeable and dedicated trainers and there is a beautiful sense of community. Whatever age or level of fitness you are, I highly recommend Northside.
We are the ones that lucked out Ness. Especially when the girls are in and we get to pump Frozen 2 soundtrack on repeat (secret fans). Thank you for a fantastic 18 months and we can't wait to see what you accomplish next with Nattie helping you along the way.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic Gym, experienced staff and fabulous atmosphere !
Thanks for the review Katie! We've loved training with you.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend this gym, everyone is incredibly friendly and the classes are great. Zero ego, no gym bros and a really nice space. Sad to have only discovered it only a few months before leaving Melbourne!
Thanks for your review Mel, we miss you! Come back and visit soon.
Fantastic experience: 11/10 recommend this gym and trainers. Especially if you are not used to strength training or getting back into exercise! The environment is welcoming, inclusive and super positive! I felt like I was seeing friends every-time I went and have never found such a positive & kind fitness space
Thanks Sam, we love having you at NSM!
Fantastic experience: Such a great place to train!! Mike, Nat and Jess are so welcoming, knowledgeable, personable and motivating. I love the small group classes and how exercises are modified to suit each individual. Great space and lovely new equipment. Definitely recommend!!!
Thanks for the review Maree, we've loved training with you!
Fantastic experience: Great Atmosphere and sense of community. Mike & Nat are fantastic trainers who bring so much knowledge. Always a fun time training at Northside!
Thanks for your review Nikita!
Fantastic experience: I’ve been training at Northside Movement for six years. Mike, Nat and Jess are the best in the business. Their wide range of knowledge, experience and passion is shown within their diverse training programme. I love going in everyday to train with a fabulous bunch of people !
Thanks for your review and for always bringing positivity and determination to the studio Liv, we love ya!
Fantastic experience: Brilliant place to train- Nat and Mike have created such a great community that makes you feel welcome and accommodates all fitness levels! Really awesome variety of classes- cardio, weights, spin etc. would give more stars if I could!!
You are a legend Veronica, thanks for the review!
Fantastic experience: This is an incredible gym! Nat, Mike and Jess are the best trainers I have ever worked with. They make you feel comfortable no matter what fitness level you are or what injuries or health conditions you are working with. There is an amazing community of people attend and I always find working out enjoyable and challenging - you will leave feeling amazing. It really is everything you want in a gym!
Thanks for the review Ais, we love training with you!
Fantastic experience: Easily the best gym experience of my life! The trainers are fun, caring and dedicated and there to support any and everything you have your heart set on! There’s no heinous diet culture or body focus here - just health and community!!
Thanks for the review Ange, we love watching you GROW every session!
Fantastic experience: Amazing and attentive coaches All inclusive gym Wide range of classes Like minded supportive members
Fantastic experience: I have tried so many different gyms and I this is by far my favourite! So supportive with a strong emphasis on community. Love these guys!
Fantastic experience: I have found that injury and soreness have never been a barrier to exercise at Northside. Each trainer has a high level of expertise when it comes to adapting training programs for injury whilst supporting you in building strength, mobility, general fitness and morale. The Northside team go above and beyond in everything they do! Thank you all!
Fantastic experience: The energy there is amazing, and once you start, you just get addicted. Love the classes, love the programs, love the training - exhausting and energizing. Just great people.
Fantastic experience: This is by far the best gym I have been a part of. Nat, Mike and Jess are amazing! The classes are small so you receive quality training and they are always on hand to help with your technique. The women are great and always a lot of fun and banter......even at 6am! Highly recommend in joining this awesome team.
Fantastic experience: I have been training with Mike for many years now and I have so much respect for his knowledge and passion for fitness. This is truly evident in the way he (and Nat) have built and continue to build Northside Fitness! It feels wrong to call it a gym, because it is so much more than that. They definitely know how to motivate safe and fun movement that pushes you beyond your goals no matter your training level!
Fantastic experience: The program offering is a pretty unique fitness experience that builds on physical and mental strength, and it does it in a friendly, nurturing and welcoming environment. Driven by a very genuine passion and commitment to its community (members) Mike, Nattie and co trainers make sure individuals’ needs are met. As a women specific program it is there to push individuals’ performance for personal results, continually varied, and for ever challenging but fun. Achievements are recognized and celebrated but more importantly the sense of belonging and encouragement from Mike and team are supported by the women who recognize the point of difference offered - genuine care and interest on every individual’s experience and fitness development.
Fantastic experience: I was recommended this gym by a friend and I have to say it’s one of the best recommendations I’ve been given. The trainers are fun, friendly and push you to be your best. The small class style works for me as I love to be pushed and kept accountable by my fellow (now friends) gym-goers. I feel like this place builds a family environment where you are safe and encouraged to get the best from yourself. I highly recommend Northside Movement!
Fantastic experience: Such an awesome, inclusive, training community we are honoured and privileged to be apart of. We are always, challenged, inspired and encouraged by the amazing women (and on the odd occasion head trainer Mike deserves a shout out for being awesome too)! We also value the non diet, size diversity culture!!
Fantastic experience: Incredible atmosphere and very knowledgeable coaches. There is a class for anyone from first-time gym users to people who have been training for years.
Fantastic experience: Incredible facility with even better trainers.
Fantastic experience: I have been attending Northside for 6 years now. I adore the work outs, the women that attend and the coaches Mike and Nat (and Ella). Thanks for helping me keep fit and strong for the last 6 years!
Fantastic experience: Love these guys - I have been seeing Mike for a while now and love every session. Mike is very understanding, compassionate, passionate, intelligent in his own craft. I feel I get my moneys worth every time and I can not thank him and the team enough for the support in my health and wellbeing. If you are looking for somewhere to train - please go and see Mike and team they will go that extra mile for you. Thank you guys!
Fantastic experience: This place is a delight
Fantastic experience: Pride is the BEST gym I have ever been to. Dedicated, motivating trainers that support you every step of the way. It really is a fantastic space
Fantastic experience: Amazing place! Pride Athletic has very friendly environment and the instructors really know their stuff!
Fantastic experience: Fabulous environment to get fit and strong! The coaches are wonderful and you will be hooked after just 1 session!
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Pride Athletic! The workouts are full of variety and the class sizes are not too large giving you the opportunity to be coached closely on technique. The trainers (Ben, Steph and Danni!) are knowledgeable, friendly and will always help you work to your goals at your own pace. Even more importantly, it's fun! Every class is full of friendly, funny and kind women who all want to have fun whilst getting fit! It's the best gym I have ever been to.
Fantastic experience: My experience at Pride has been nothing but fantastic! This gym fosters such a caring, genuine environment created by an exceptional group of coaches and members. Whilst we work hard (and sweat plenty!!) there is also lots of laughter, craziness and good times :-) The owner Matt has done a great job of hiring coaches (Danni, Ben and Steph) who encourage and support everyone and know how to work with each of us to help us achieve our goals, whatever they may be. They guide us through our ups and downs, help not just with the physical aspect of training but also the emotional. If you are a little hesitant to try it out, don't be...one session and you'll be hooked and looking forward to your daily slice of exercise pie :-)
