The Australian Strength Performance Centre: Opinions
Fantastic experience: The place to get strong in a supportive environment. Great, useful equipment and plenty of space.
Oh thank you sooo much for your kind words and support Jase! We love having you here :)
Fantastic experience: I moved to Melbourne recently and ASP instantly made me feel like I was at home. As a powerlifter, gyms with good equipment can be hard to find, but there is everything I need (and more) at ASP. The environment is great and the staff are so welcoming and lovely. I would recommend to anyone who is coming to Melbourne.
Fantastic experience: Great Gym, great trainers, great workouts
Fantastic experience: This is a new gym so the trainers have a nice vibe and energy. I did one class here through class pass and it was decent. Close to Lygon street trams (it is in the old temple street location).
Thank you so much for your kind review Amalia! It was great having you here and we hope to see you again soon!
Fantastic experience: I love this place - great people, great vibes, always upbeat. Having a great experience with personal training. Femur bone density up 5% after a year of strength training! Not bad for a middle-aged novice.
Positive experience: Had good experience trying it out. Everyone is friendly and welcoming. However, it is not for me, chose another gym nearby for the following reasons: 1. It's expensive compared to usual prices in the neighbourhood even on a contract. 2. The gym packs certain features e.g. a machine for doing flys / rowing machine (important for me personally). 3. There are no weights near the free weight area and it's a bit of a hassle to bring them to do deadlifts and then bring them back. Also, not enough weights on the leg press rack. 4. There are not enough mirrors to look at your technique when performing exercises. 5. No climate control. I understand the space is large but still, can't imagine working out during heatwaves in summer. 6. Not enough bench presses, which is an issue almost everywhere nowadays. There is one standard and one quirky one but they get busy. 7. There is a selection of dumbbells with wide grip but not enough ones with standard grip. I have wrist problems and using the wide grip ones is a bit of an issue for me. 8. Limited opening times, many gyms these days are 24/7 which works better for me.
Hi Ilia, Thank you so much for your thoughtful review and kind words about our friendly atmosphere! We’re glad you had a positive experience with us, even though our gym might not have been the perfect fit for you.
We’re a larger space, but as a small business, we have to carefully manage our resources. This is why we focus on providing a high-quality, personalized experience with top-notch equipment and a clean, comfortable environment. We believe that investing in the best equipment and maintaining a clean space helps our members feel more at ease during their workouts, even though it means our prices might be a bit higher.
We understand the benefits of 24/7 access and climate control, and it's something we’d love to offer in the future. However, due to the significant costs involved in running a facility of our size with those features, it’s a bit challenging at the moment.
Thank you once again for your feedback and for giving us a try. We wish you the very best on your fitness journey!
Fantastic experience: 不僅僅是一個健身房,更改變生活與人生的目標
thank you so much for your kind words!
Fantastic experience: the best gym in Melbourne! Great time with great people, I'll miss you guys xx
Fantastic experience: Patrick Hammes is an exceptional trainer. He is knowledgeable, intelligent, and has a great manner. He puts considerable effort into working out the best program for you and to meet your goals. He is attentive and will carefully watch you to make sure you are performing the exercises correctly. He is conscious of safety and eliminating the risk of injury. Patrick has turned me into a lean mean fightin’ machine! Training with Patrick is an invaluable investment in a long, healthy, and happy life. ASP is fortunate to have such a talent working for it. Patrick is brilliant!
Fantastic experience: Friendly and knowledgeable staff who have helped not just with my everyday fitness but to recover from an injury as well. A great variety of equipment. Love being part of the ASP family!
Thank so much for your kind words! Its been so lovely to have you as part of the family as well! <3
Fantastic experience: I've trained at a lot of gyms around Australia now, and I can honestly say without a shadow of doubt that training at ASP has been one of my favourite places to train. They have built such an inviting community open to any level of fitness. The trainers all take a vested interest in your health and wellbeing and take time to get to know you on a personal level so they can assist you in smashing your goals. Amazing gym run by even more amazing people.
Fantastic experience: ASP has such an incredible environment - it is both super welcoming and inspiring at the same time. The owner and trainers are all approachable and always willing to lend expert advice. The equipment is top quality too!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym with fabulous people!
Fantastic experience: Finding ASP has been a game changer for me. I've been training for years, but I was getting bored with the same routine and my results had plateaued. At ASP you will find skilled trainers who really take the time to get to know you and understand how you tick and what is most suitable to you. You will find awesome equipment so you can vary your training and you will also find down to earth friendly people who love training as much as you do. I'm in the best shape I have ever been in and I am far more knowledgeable about training methods and protocols. It's a great place :)
Fantastic experience: The gym is exceptionally equiped and the staff are fantastic! From the Owner (Ben) to the Manager (Sharon) to the coaches, all are dedicated to help you progress... whether you are seeking to improve your lifestyle, or are a professional athlete seeking to perform at a whole new level, this is the place for you!! ASP became my home, and can become your new home too!!
Aww thank you so much Andy!! We feel incredibly loved and blessed to have you as part of the family. <3
Fantastic experience: ASP is such a breath of fresh air compared to commercial gyms I've been to in the past. Their facilities are amazing and always so clean, for the powerlifters out there, they have 3 deadlift platforms (you never have to wait for one to be open), 2 squat racks, even an Eleiko competition bench/squat rack, another bench station. The staff are also incredibly friendly and helpful. They really spend their time to try and get to know you making it such a welcoming environment. If you're looking for a new gym, definitely come in to try it out!
Thank you so much for your kind words! We look forward to watch you grow and achieve your goals over the next few years!

Fantastic experience: I would like to start off by thanking ASP for taking me on this journey to recovery. I’m grateful for the support and training in my journey to health both physically and mentally. They start off by taking the time to understand your needs and put together a personal training schedule to meet the needs of your body. Ben and the team are amazing at their work and I would recommend ASP as a place to train to improve your health.

Moreover, Coaches in ASP have very high professional knowledge and experiences. Always give clients the best and optimal advices to transform. !!Love very much!!
Fantastic experience: you like eleiko? you come
Thank you for your review! We love our Eleikos too :)
Fantastic experience: It's great for weightlifter and powerlifters. 6 Eleiko 20kg, 3 Eleiko 15kg, buffalo bar, bamboo bar, half dozen York bars. 3 platforms, blocks, 2 power racks, Eleiko ER rack, 15 or so full Eleiko training sets. Atlantis or Watson everything else. Yoke, stones, logs, grip stuff. No cardio equipment other than a sled. Not a big place, staff know everyone. Very clean, knowledgeable trainers. Focused towards general population and strength athletes In general just a good place for strength athletes to train to get out of the 24hr bodybuilding gyms.
Thank you Christian! We love having you at our facility throwing heavy weights and making it look easy :)

Fantastic experience: Best strength and conditioning gym in Melbourne with knowledgeable and experienced coaches to help you reach your goals, whether it's fat loss, muscle gain or improving athletic performance. ASP has done well in creating an environment and community that is supportive, respectful and non-intimidating regardless of training experience. One of the best things about the gym is the wide range of specialised equipment that you won't find in other gyms.
