Tom Gauci 7 months ago

Fantastic experience: Joined Club Active for the 6 week Osteoperosis Programme, with great results. 6 weeks off for a knee replacement and I'm doing a regular workout with emphasis on knee rehap. The guys are amazing, and all members are so friendly. Love my time at the gym.

Fantastic experience: I have participated in exercise Physio sessions for years at club active Parkwood and it’s always a pleasant experience. All the staff and clientele are always happy and polite. It’s not too loud and the machines are kept clean. Bathrooom amenities are decent too. Best coffee right next door as well. Parking is always easy. Would definitely recommend. My two kids also do weekly private sessions here too, so they cater to all levels of expertise. Thanks guys!

Fantastic experience: When I came to the gym my walking was not fast or easy. My balance was at times not working. I now feel after completing my Dr Medical plan so much happier and healthier and fitter. My balance has improved, my walking is better, faster and easy.

Negative experience: Don't sign a contract if your circumstances change they will not let you out of it without paying more. You can't even transfer to another person. You can put it on hold but that will be added at the end. I have been unable to use my membership for 10 months and still have to pay another month. Most gyms will let you sign over to another person. I also was not happy with the classes on offer and the few I did like being cancelled last minute. Would not recommend

Club Active Parkwood
Club Active Parkwood

We pride ourselves on our customer service, professionalism and doing right by our members here at Club Active. As with most health clubs, we provide the option of a 12mth contract as a cheaper option, as well as no-lock in contracts to be sure to meet our members individual needs. We have a great selection of classes and times available and along with our terms and conditions, are clearly presented at the start so our members can make the best informed decision on what works best for their needs and current financial situation. We also provide members the ability to suspend their membership for holidays, health issues etc as we understand things can come up. We have a great culture here at Parkwood, members are very friendly and welcoming to new members, and our staff do their very best to accommodate all. Unfortunately this is not always enough for some.

Tamsen Versluis 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I couldn't be more happy or impressed with Club Active Parkwood. Finally a gym that is welcoming and unpretentious. The staff are knowledgeable, professional and genuine. With a complex medical history and questionable fitness, I feel supported and encouraged to embrace my individualised program. Great value for money too! Thanks Tim, Olivia and Anthony.

Hey Tamsen Thanks so much for the great review, we're glad you are enjoying the gym and having a positive experience with us. Congratulations on your results so far, you should be commended for your consistency and determination and not letting life's ups and downs be an excuse not to commit to your health goals!

Fantastic experience: Olivia brings her professionalism and natural positivity to Club members. I like how she assesses the daily needs of each client and can apply versatility to the exercise plan to avoid aggravating any current strains or injury. Very clean, well equipped Club, nice casual vibe, friendly staff and Club members, DVA folks are supported. Worth the 5 stars.

Alvin Maradeen 2 years ago

Negative experience: Update 07/07/2023: Unfortunately, a massive turnover in staff has had a detrimental effect. While the current Exercise Physiologists are absolutely amazing, the group fitness classes have taken a bit of a hit due to lack of numbers, much of the equipment has aged and the management doesn't seem to be communicating with the members in a meaningful way. It is a shame that they're not interested in listening to what the members want. It was initially such a wonderful concept. Management have now been blatantly rude and extremely unprofessional. Communication directly with the owner has been completely ineffective. He shows no interest in what his members want and although my membership has now expired and I have asked for my story to be removed from the blog on the company website, it still remains there. New rating: Down to 1 star for the awesome EPs from my original rating of 5 stars. Such a shame that a brilliant concept has been lost through mismanagement. Original post from July 2021: As a 51 year old male with a chronic respiratory condition, I recently improved my nutrition and lost 24kg and a Club Active advert popped up on my Facebook page. I made an enquiry and that was the start of a whole new world for me! I did a tour of the Club, fully expecting to walk away with nothing. Instead, I came away extremely impressed with the whole concept Club Active offers, the professionalism of the staff and the quality of the equipment, which is all so user-friendly. After discussing it with my GP, I joined the Club about 8 weeks ago and it has literally changed my life. I have gone from being someone who spent a good deal of time in bed each day feeling sad and sorry for myself to now attending the gym up to 10 times a week, joining in lots of group classes and also completing my personalised training program (thank you Erik). Matt, Erik, Munpreet, Cody and all the staff are AMAZING!! It makes such a big difference having a gym that is run by Exercise Physiologists, rather than Personal Trainers. The staff are all so professional, friendly, helpful and caring. The members are all very friendly, jovial and understanding of our own personal issues, struggles and goals. The group classes offer a great variety of activity and are always so much fun and also challenging! In the 8 weeks that I have been attending, I have already started to notice changes in my body, with muscle growth and fat-loss being evident. Club Active Parkwood has become a hugely important part of my life and the people there are now like a second family. Forget everything you think you know about gyms and book a tour with Club Active Parkwood. You'll be glad you did! "Change The Way You Age". The power is in your hands!

David A 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Following on from my (second) spinal operation, I really needed to get fit and in particularly build up up my core muscles! Club Active was recommended by a health professional knowing that there were physiologists on hand and a customised program would be designed for my requirements. I believe I couldn't have joined a better gym as I'm more than happy with the results and would not hestitate in recommending Club Active to anyone wanting to stay/get fit as they get older!

Derek McCabe 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: This is an excellent place for Seniors to exercise whilst being supported by Qualified, realistic, Physical Trainers and Exercise Physiologists. The gym has modern equipment that is easy to understand and use. Various group sessions are also available. Plenty of parking at the Parkwood facility. The other major plus is that there is no blairing techno jungle music making your head thump whilst exercising. Just middle of the road music in the background. It's fully air conditioned and tastefully decorated. There's a range of memberships available at reasonable prices. You can get a referral from your GP (Health Care Plan/TCA) to see the Exercise Physiologist who will assess you then design a program. DVA Vets with a GC/TPI/EDA ask the GP for a D904 form. This is the first gym that I actually enjoy going to.
