Fantastic experience: We held my daughters 6th birthday party there on the weekend. She had the best fun. Her friends all loved it. The kids were entertained at all times. Staff were very helpful, but a MASSIVE shout out to Bryce. He made a promise to host her party and kept his word. It ment the world to our daughter. So a huge thank you.

Fantastic experience: My girls absolutely love attending classes each week. We have been attending MFG for about 6months now. The coaches are amazing with my girls and they look forward to seeing Coach Ruby and Coach Hannah each week. Date nights & Holiday camps girls enjoy also. MFG is the activity my kids have stuck with and enjoy coming to love the flexibility to chop and change activities each week depending what the girls want to do.

Ashley Williams 1 year ago

Negative experience: Would not cancel membership on request and kept trying to charge my account and then also dishonour fees. Threatened third party collection if I did not continue to pay even though my daughter had not attended. The coaches are also a little unfriendly and favour the more advanced students. All in all I’d recommend not going there and find another gym

My First Gym Shellharbour
My First Gym Shellharbour

Hi Ashley, We are sorry that you feel your experience with MyFirstGym Shellharbour has been unsatisfactory. As discussed with you numerous times via phone and email we have outlined several different cancellation options for you. Unfortunately as you have not elected to accept any of these options we have been unable to move forward with your desired outcome. As always we are willing to have further discussions with you if you reply to our communications. We are saddened that you feel that our coaching staff are unfriendly or have not showed the same level of support to all members. Regretfully if this not brought to the attention of management at the time the issue has arisen we are unable to address it. Please feel free to contact us to discuss to more detail.

Mr. Cloud 1 year ago

Negative experience: Typical scummy gym membership tactics, only it's extremely expensive for what you get, BIG caution. You'll get coaxed into a 6-month contract without your knowing as the reception staff is trained to hide the contract from you. They lure you in with $1 per week for 5 weeks and don't tell you that surprise! you're in a contract for $26 a week for the next 5 months. They should be reported to the ACCC in my opinion. Wife unknowingly signed up without being aware of the hidden contract so we went back and cancelled within the same day, which was well within the 7-day grace period. If our CC gets charged next week despite us asking for our member profile to be deleted from their system, which includes the CC details, there will be HELL to pay. Oh yeah and for 1-year-olds, we don't think they offer anything more than what you can do at your local playground. You're still responsible for your kid, you have to sign a waiver saying that you can't sue them if your kid injures themselves whilst using the premises and none of the other kids interact with yours. May as well have gone to the local playground instead. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Rojo Pelli 1 year ago

Negative experience: $25 for a 30-minute obstacle course shared with 10 other kids once a week feels excessive.

Hi Robyn Cutroni, We respect your right to post Google reviews, however we would kindly ask that you not spam our account with multiple negative reviews under different Google account names in the interest of transparency.

Robyn Cutroni 1 year ago

Negative experience: From the beginning, this company seemed intent on taking my money unfairly. I had requested the cancellation of my daughter's membership and received an email confirmation. Despite this, they continued to bill me. When I addressed this, they claimed she was still under contract and I had to keep paying. If I'd known, I would've continued sending her since I was being billed anyway. On another occasion, they charged me a dishonor fee even though I had sufficient funds in my account. By the time they finally contacted me, they presented a bill of $140. Out of frustration, I decided to withdraw my last child from their program, only to be told I'd be charged for another four weeks. In the end, I cancelled my credit card to prevent any further unwarranted charges.

My First Gym Shellharbour
My First Gym Shellharbour

Hi Robyn, we are sorry that you remain frustrated with our attempts to address all of your concerns regarding the matter you have referenced in your review. Unfortunately the $140 you have mentioned is for an arrears amount on the account that was owing prior to your cancellation, not for billing post cancellation. Once you had requested cancellation and cleared your arrears we subsequently advised you of the 28 days written notice. All of this is recorded in our email communications chain and your membership records. If you would like to discuss the matter further again we are more than happy to assist you if you contact the club.

Fantastic experience: My children love coming to parkour at My First Gym Shellharbour! The coaches are fantastic and keep my very energetic children engaged and having fun. My son has also had a birthday party here. It was fabulous! The kids had an absolute ball. Aside from organising the cake and pizzas I didn't need to do a thing. The coaches ran the sessions and then packed up afterwards.

Hi there! Thanks so much for the great feedback. We love that you've had such a positive experience at the gym.

Colleen Hannah 2 years ago

Positive experience: The classes at this place are really hit or miss. We’ve had some great ones with 6 or 7 kids and an excellent coach who remembers their name and gives individual attention and encouragement, my kid really loved it. But when the class is packed to capacity, with 12 kids and 1 coach, the kids become unruly and hard maintain and the coach gets overwhelmed, with the kids getting bottle necked on the obstacle course. On a couple of occasions there have not been enough items for each kid in the creative play. In those instances there is no point paying money and sending your kid to a class there, they’re not getting any enrichment from that. Overall its a lovely place, very clean and friendly staff. But the class sizes are too big and get messy when they’re that size.

My First Gym Shellharbour
My First Gym Shellharbour

Hi Colleen, thank you for taking the time to post a review. We appreciate all of our member feedback. As discussed with you in club, we do run our classes with set ratios of coaches to children. At times some classes may be more boisterous than others depending on the personalities of the children in attendance. The 12:1 ratio does however meet our national standards for classes and we work hard to support our coaches with education and training on how to effectively manage their class numbers. In regards to the occasions you have mentioned there were not enough items for the children in creative play, we are only aware of the one instance that you have discussed with us previously. We will however, take your feedback onboard and investigate this further. As always we welcome your questions, comments and feedback so please feel free to discuss with us further next time you are in the club.

Fantastic experience: Our daughter has been attending classes since they opened at Shellharbour MFG and absolutely loves it, they run great/fun/educational classes and the staff are awesome, helpful and super friendly. We decided to hold our daughter's 3rd birthday party at MFG Shellharbour as she loves it here, WOW the party was awesome, it was structured so well and the kids were entertained the whole time and all the kids said they absolutely loved it. I can not thank Samantha and Caitlin enough they were unreal and went above and beyond to make sure it was the best party, they didn't just run the class/activities they helped with all aspects of the party before and on the day. Thanks MFG Shellharbour...

Fantastic experience: Found out about My First Gym when we went to a birthday party there. The kids had heaps of fun, it was well organised and everyone was included. My child joined the gym that same day and has loved doing the MFG Fit classes twice a week. The coaches are really supportive and encourage the kids to try everything, even if they don't have the skills to do it perfectly yet.
