Small privately owned 24/7 Gym operating with same owner since 1999. Danny Kennedy the Owner, actively works on the gym floor with Personal Training clients, he teaches/instructs Group Training classes and is interacting with all members, casual visitors and PT clients every day. Starting in the Fitness Industry in 1984, his mission is to keep Kennedys as a friendly small non intimidating gym, unlike the big box gyms that have different priorities re numbers and dollars... Danny says he is an "abnormal" gym owner unlike others in that he feels it should not only be easy to join a gym, but that it should be easy to LEAVE a gym, hence Kennedys has NO CONTRACTS, NO JOINING FEES, NO CANCELLATION FEES, NO 30 DAY CANCELLATION etc...

Fantastic experience: I started out here years ago as a young teen, back when Kennedy’s was in their old location. I started off as a casual member (I still think $5 is insane and the price has never gone up) and now I’m a 24/7 gym member. This is the best local gym around. It has everything you need and is made for the every day person as well as the athlete who needs to cross train. The staff are knowledgeable and always so lovely and energetic and there are no gym ego’s.

Fantastic experience: I can't say enough good things about Kennedy's. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and motivated. The staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, always ready to help with any questions. The facilities are top-notch, with a wide range of equipment and clean, well-maintained spaces. What really sets Kennedy's apart is the atmosphere – it's so positive and encouraging, making every workout enjoyable. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned gym-goer, I highly recommend Kennedy's for anyone looking to achieve their fitness goals in a supportive environment.

Negative experience: I decided to try Kennedy’s out for a casual session with my partner. The trainer proceeded to take my payment at 11:35am and mentioned nothing about the gym policy of having no casuals in the gym past 12pm. 15mins into my workout I was then approached and told about the policy of having to leave at 12pm, however after the discussion, I was under the impression that I could stay to finish my workout as a once off (communication was very unclear). As 12pm came, I was approached again to ask how long I had left as I had to leave. I would much rather have been made aware of this on arrival and prior to making payment. I just think that the principle behind this was a bit disappointing and I am off put by the way this situation was handled. I am understanding of policies and have no issues following them, however I think it’s disappointing that I was not pre-warned that I would be paying for a 20min workout. I was made to feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. Overall I think the gym had a really good layout and atmosphere - but I won’t be signing up.

Hi Roxanne, apologies for that happening today!
In lieu of that (and i will explain what how and why) i am happy to either offer you a free workout at some time for you to pop in again and have another workout or simply refund the $5 you paid for the Casual workout, if you dont pop in i can easily give the $5 to Max also if you like?
The "trainer" involved this morning hasnt done a lot of "reception" work for me and today was his first day back at work after 2 weeks Xmas holidays, so the old "getting back to work" brain at his admittance was a bit rusty and he told me of the happenings and apologised for such. So my apologies you felt treated badly, its certainly not the norm,
Regards,
Danny Kennedy

Fantastic experience: The perfect all round gym. The selection and variety of machines is the best I’ve ever seen. Including all the right cable machine attachments. The owners also consistently add new equipment.

Fantastic experience: Great gym! I joined a gym for the first time ever and after lots of research I'm really glad I picked this one. The staff are really friendly and always willing to help with any questions, or if you don't know how to use equipment, and they have a great range of equiptment to use. It's really quiet during the middle of the day, I've often gone on my lunch break and I'm the only one there and is busier around 6pm.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend!! The gym itself is always clean, tidy, has an extensive range of fitness equipment and various spaces. Danny Kennedy, the owner is amazing - always friendly, goes out of his way to check in with his clients and ensure correct tecnique, is obviously highly knowledgable in his field yet patient when explaining training concepts. Likewise, the trainers are friendly and always ready to assist. The no contract option is also helpful and it's super easy to join and get started. In comparison to visiting other gyms, I would say this one is by far, the best in the area.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Kennedy’s for more than 5 years. Great staff and great vibe. Keeps me motivated to go back and work out

Sarah Bruce 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Kennedys enough. This gym has a great range of equipment from strength to cardio and lots of fun accessories to add into your training as well. Everything is neat and tidy and always feels really clean. There’s no huge egos and the community of members are all really friendly and welcoming. Kennedy is an absolute legend - he is on the gym floor training clients, tidying the equipment and greeting everyone by name which feels really nice. Also the price of the membership is amazing and there’s no hidden terms and conditions. And it’s really easy to join. It feels good giving my money to a gym run by a great team of people and not some huge chain of gyms who you have no idea who the owner is. Kennedy takes great pride in his gym and members and you can see that.

Fantastic experience: This is an awesome gym. Has lots of different peices of cardio equipment that you won't find anywhere else. Freindly staff and a great environment. The gym is new and affordable. $5 casuals. Locally owned and often the owner and freindly staff are there to help and show you how to use equipment correctly. It's a great place.

Stuart Summers 7 years ago

Positive experience: Big fan of this place. Although it didn't quite make the cut when I ended up getting a membership somewhere. For a while the fact you could do $5 casual was fantastic. It's not a commercial poncy gym so the equipment isn't shiny new, but who cares, it's still good quality. There's boxing bags as well which I loved. The issue came down to when it went 24-7 the staffed hours were a bit restrictive so for example you couldn't go on a Sunday. I did weigh up the full membership, but it was a bit more pricey than Berry Fitness in Edithvale, and Berry Fitness just shades Kennedys, but I'd say the 2nd best value for money gym between Chelsea and Mordialloc.
