Services, Machines and Guided Classes
Bondi Gym: Opinions
Negative experience: Machines are usually broken and don't have weight markings. No aircon unfortunately. Way too busy. Toilets are always unclean
Positive experience: Nice gym in Bondi Junction which also has a crossfit area. The gym itself is rather small with a few machines but enough to do a full workout
Fantastic experience: Spent 2 weeks in Sydney and trained at the Bondi Gym. The owner, Michael was very friendly. Some people might prefer the glitzy franchised gyms but Michael has all the equipment I needed
Negative experience: I’m surprised by the rating this gym has received. While it has potential, the facility is in a noticeably outdated state. The fitness equipment appears to be from the 90s, and several machines seem to be in urgent need of replacement (see photos). It’s clear that some updates and maintenance would greatly improve the experience for members. If you’re looking for a more modern and well-maintained gym, this may not meet your expectations.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been training at Bondi Gym for over two years now, and I absolutely love it. I regularly attend the group classes, which offer a variety of workout types. There's also a dedicated space for free weights. Michael is an excellent coach who consistently goes above and beyond to provide the best service. The atmosphere is incredibly friendly, and it always makes me feel welcome. I truly love this gym—it's definitely my safe space.
Thank you so much for your review Anna and we are glad to have you as part of the Bondi Gym family
Fantastic experience: Bondi Gym is a welcoming, professional and fun place to train with access to everything!
Thanks Tamara It’s always a pleasure seeing you at the gym.
Fantastic experience: Great gym! Has everything you need for weights, mma, cardio or CrossFit. Mikes small group classes were a great all round workouts, and he pays a lot of attention to everyone. Can’t recommend enough! Open 5-10, access with fobs was also fantastic.
Fantastic experience: This place is an amazing place to train. Michael is incredibly friendly and supportive, and the welcoming atmosphere keeps you motivated. Highly recommend!
Thanks Geert
Fantastic experience: Bondi Gym is hands down the best gym in Bondi. Michael, the owner, is not only super awesome but also incredibly knowledgeable about injuries and training. If you want a spacious gym with every piece of equipment imaginable and expert advice, Bondi Gym is where to go.
Thanks Hannah
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend this gym and especially the classes. Michael (owner and also runs the group classes) is meticulous with technique and ensures you are always challenging yourself. The environment is humble, so you push yourself without an intimidating crowd.
Thanks Laura Keep up the good work
Fantastic experience: I was a member of this gym for five years until I recently moved. I loved it and miss it. Yes, it doesn't have state of the art equipment and the roof leaked after heavy rain, however, this is part of its charm. It's perfect in every other way.The gym suited me down to the ground. I would go late at night to work out and the beauty was that there were few people and no problem getting access to the equipment. It's an independant non pretentious club for anyone who likes to work out without all the razz mataz of fancy gyms that tie you to contracts. Michael the owner is a straight, honest and decent guy. No sales talk and shmoozing. Highly recommended
Thanks Brian. You will be pleased to know that the roof has since been replaced by the landlord and no more leaks ☔️
Fantastic experience: Great gym, really nice Nautilus machines
Thanks Cillian - Nautilus machines have great mechanics and are a pleasure to train with
Fantastic experience: I love this gym, I've been going to the group classes for more than 3 years now and I don't want to go anywhere else, it's not fancy but that's why it has the right vibe, not a lot of instagrammers or people looking at themselves in the mirror. Michael is the best, always smiling and helping you with anything you need.
Thanks for the review Yayo and your constant enthusiasm and fun-nature
Fantastic experience: As someone who hates franchised / chain gyms this independent gym is great, i moved over from the UK around a year ago and struggled at first to find a gym that suited me, found this gym 7 month ago and couldn’t imagine training anywhere else now, it has an old school feel to it which i love, members are super friendly and Michael is always on hand for anyone needing help, overall great atmosphere compared to some other gyms around the area which i tried out before finding this one.
Thanks for your review Lewis, we appreciate it when someone loves the environment we have created at the gym. Keep up the good work (and leg training)
Negative experience: I've been training here for three years on and off. I love the Sunday conditioning class, and the community is good. The gym gear is well-maintained. However, I loathe the unisex showers, they share the same space as the men's toilets, which is a bit dodgy. The showers look like they haven't been cleaned all year, pretty gross.
Fantastic experience: I love the training classes at Bondi Gym. Groups are small, exercises are different every time AND challenging, and Michael is always making sure we understand the exercises and do them properly. Having someone that pays that much attention is rare in this industry.
Thanks for the great feedback Laura and keep up the good work ⭐️
Fantastic experience: This isn't a wellness temple. This is uncomfortable and rough—and that's why I like it, because that's what working out is about. If you are looking for a gym that's about working out and not making it seem as if you are, then this is your gym. You rarely find such old school gyms dedicated to the spirit of training anymore. Hygiene, especially in the restrooms, could be improved though.
Fantastic experience: Great gym, specially for the training classes. Small groups, different exercises each day and Michael is always corrrcting the wrong movements. I highly recommend!
Thanks Thiago
Positive experience: Good gym, clean friendly, small but enough for a good work out. Nice equipment just limited how much
Fantastic experience: Great little gym has everything I would need
Thanks Nathan
Negative experience: Positives: Classes are good. Staff are friendly - Michael is a nice chap. Cheap compared to other gyms and it's easy to avoid crowded times. Centrally located in Bondi Junction. Easy to get to and parking is never far. Good range of hours. Negatives: This used to be a great gym. It has been let down by a number of shortcomings. No air conditioning during summer - it's never turned on. Fans don't all work. It swelters in the heat. Very uncomfortable. The machines are old and are in desperate need of replacement. Many machines don't get fixed for ages or simply never get fixed. Roof leaks abound after every rainfall. Buckets everywhere. The roof never seems completely fixed. I used to think I was getting chesties from other patrons, but now realise it's probably the mold from all the leaks. The gym should have a defibrillator. Soap in showers and bathrooms should be filled more regularly. Have found none in dispensers too many times. I'm over things not improving. You get what you pay for.
Fantastic experience: Gym is welcoming to everyone and absolutely loved it here! Great price, very cheap for bondi.
Fantastic experience: Great CrossFit WOD style classes, friendly staff and well equipped gym for all lifting styles
Fantastic experience: I honestly love this gym!! Low-key, friendly people, amazing trainers and very demanding workouts!!
Fantastic experience: Great lifting gym, no posers or influencers, just good old fashioned training.
Fantastic experience: Good clean gym. Nice space, comfortable environment from floor equipment and bathroom
Fantastic experience: Great gym with excellent group classes. I miss training here since moving out of the area.
Fantastic experience: If you want a workout♀️️♂️ in a small group♀️ but at the same time it's more like a one on one boot camp session"Bondi Gym" is the place to be
Thanks Mia. See you in the gym again soon
Fantastic experience: Great place to train
Thanks Fiona
Fantastic experience: Fantastic classes for active people
Fantastic experience: Awesome and old school, also most affordable in Bondi!
Thanks Lance!!!
Fantastic experience: Walked past
Fantastic experience: Love this place! Classes are great and the trainers really want to help you achieve and therefore tailor things to suit your needs. Couldn’t recommend this gym more highly to anyone who wants to join a real gym.
Fantastic experience: This gym is for people who are serious about fitness and bodywork. Everything about it makes you feel at home and makes you want to come regularly. Micheal takes personal care and devotes his time to impart the correct and appropriate training. The other staff are courteous and very helpful. Professional instructors ensure that the training does not cause harm. People of diverse ages come to the gym for improving overall fitness. The best gym to go to !!!
Thanks for your review Zarasp. Its a pleasure having you at Bondi Gym!
Fantastic experience: Go here and see Mark and if you're serious about your goals, with his guidance you will achieve them. The only way I can make sense of it is to assume the bloke must be a wizard or something.
Fantastic experience: Checked this gym out with my girlfriend, haven't joined as I'm happily a member of another gym. Offers lots of quality equipment, which was accessible on the Saturday we visited, as few people were there at the time. We liked their innovatively named classes. We love Bondi Junction offering another gym, we love choice.
Thanks for your review Calum!
