BST Fitness

Fantastic experience: My husband and I have been at this gym for about 2 years now and we absolutely love it, especially the group classes. We have seen massive improvement in our strength, fitness and overall confidence. Brad is a very knowledgeable, patient and dedicated trainer. He pays attention to everyone and even tailors group session workouts if you have an injury or sore spots! Jordan's sessions on the weekend are also amazing for a good mix of strength and cardio. The community here is awesome. Everyone looks out for each other and motivates each other. Our favourite part of the week is finishing group classes on the weekends and going out for a coffee after with these amazing people. Absolutely recommend this gym to anyone who wants to give it a go!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic community-orientated gym with a great culture. Has helped me maintain my fitness and connect with other friendly members inclusive of all! Highly recommend to anyone wanting to build connection and get/keep fit.

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Adelaide! Brad and Steve have built a community where everyone is friendly, encouraging, and supportive, which makes it more than just a place to work out—it’s a place to connect and stay motivated. The equipment is great, including a brand-new Reformer Pilates machine. This gym provides everything needed for a great fitness experience. Highly recommended for those looking for both quality training and a welcoming environment!

Fantastic experience: Bowden Gym has been a great experience for my partner and I. Coach Brad is extremely passionate and brings a lot of knowledge and experience to his sessions. 24hr access is convenient if you can’t make the classes. Highly recommend for people of all fitness levels.

Fantastic experience: I've been to many gyms, but this one stands out as one of the best. The owners have created a welcoming and supportive atmosphere while maintaining a strong focus on hard work and progress. I take classes with Brad, who is incredibly attentive. He ensures that exercises are performed correctly and frequently updates the programs, keeping workouts both engaging and beneficial for overall fitness. The gym is impeccably maintained and equipped with a wide range of machines, perfect for both building serious strength and aiding in rehabilitation. As someone recovering from multiple injuries, I've experienced significant progress thanks to the personalised guidance and care here. I'm deeply grateful to this gym for not only helping me rebuild my strength but also boosting my self-esteem during my recovery journey. Thanks guys

Fantastic experience: Hooray! I finally feel confident working-out after many years of nursing a chronic neck injury. Brad has patiently taught me correct techniques on just about everything to avoid discomfort. His knowledge, problem -solving and preparedness to take it light or stretch my performance whenever possible has really given me a new confidence. The equipment, organization of the gym and cleanliness far exceed my previous gym experiences….by a mile! I would recommend any person who wants to feel stronger to come and try Bowden Gym. Thanks a Bunch Brad

Fantastic experience: What a terrific Gym... well equipped, neat and clean, but best of all, very welcoming. Brad is an exceptional trainer and a great motivator and has been a huge help with my fitness goals. Bowden Gym was recommended to me and now I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to others.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been with Bowden gym for +12 months and have no regrets. Brad has made me fall in love with exercise and I thoroughly enjoy coming to the gym. With such a supportive and friendly group around me, it’s hard to miss a session. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a gym!

Fantastic experience: Excellent facilities and training. Brad is the exact type of trainer we were looking for - he is knowledgeable and gets us pumped to train. The Gym culture is great with lots of friendly faces around.

Fantastic experience: Great community vibe. Gym coach Brad has created an inclusive atmosphere for gym users of all levels and experience.

Fantastic experience: Having been a member of this gym for 18 months, I highly recommend it as a place to achieve your fitness goals, whatever your base level of ability. Brad really knows what he is doing and will work with your individual experience and push you to be your best. I’m genuinely the fittest and strongest I have ever been as a result of training with Brad. The variety of classes and class times are great and the environment is fun, clean, respectful and supportive, no Instagram models or pumped-up posers here , just real people who like to work hard!

Fantastic experience: Marvellous, convenient, well equipped

Fantastic experience: Really enjoying Brad's guidance working towards a stronger, more flexible me.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member at BST Fitness for over 10 years. Brad always makes sure everyone is getting the most out of their training…..and that they feel welcome and comfortable. There are many classes - HIIT, HIRT, Boxing and general conditioning classes, as well as 24-hour gym access if you want to do your own thing – BST Fitness has it all – spread over 2 levels! A fun, friendly and results driven community gym - highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: This is simply a great place to train. Both my wife and I use it. If you’re looking for a good spot for your daily workout, rehabilitation exercises, or somewhere to start a new routine - then this is it. Brad is an outstanding trainer who genuinely cares about your fitness results. From the moment you walk in, you’ll see the functional fitness, weightlifting, and boxing area downstairs, the great variety of weights and machines, and the rehabilitation facilities upstairs. Brad is a professional trainer who has worked with a variety of different people including professional football players. He values all of his clients and the connection to the ADF veteran community is strong. You will be impressed by the cleanliness and organisation of the gym which helps you focus on improving your fitness in a thoroughly professional setting. I recommend this gym to anyone starting out with new fitness goals, those looking for a good rehab program, or for the seasoned gym goer who is looking for a new venue to take it up a notch. Well worth the investment.

Fantastic experience: Clean, friendly and great gym.

Fantastic experience: Best place to train. Full equipment and the fact that it's 24/7 makes my life a lot easier I highly recommend it.

Fantastic experience: I was lucky enough to visit the gym with my son and partner as a guest from Melbourne. Brad was very passionate and the class was amazing. The gym is on two levels and well fitted out. There are a range of classes and circuits which change a lot. I had a great time and if I lived in Adelaide, would join on the spot.

Fantastic experience: Brad is truly a brilliant trainer! The gym is so well put together, all the equipment you could want. And the classes are absolutely worth it-you work harder than you thought you’d be able to with Brad as your support. Can’t recommend it enough!

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym. Plenty of machines, large selection of free weights and various positioned benches. Plenty of squat racks, plenty of space for plyo on track.. Yes it actually has a little track all the way around the inside of it! Large soft mat area for stretches etc. Sauna, decent showers and changing facilities. Good cafe serving iced whey shakes, which are fantastic after a good session. Upstairs has a devoted cardio section which is considerably cooler and rooms for classes. If we're back in the area, we'll be back in this gym.

Fantastic experience: Since moving to BST gym earlier this year, my partner & I have not looked back! Brad is an exceptional and passionate trainer who looks out for everyone, and works with you to reach your fitness goals. We love the smaller group class sizes, offering of boxing and high-intensity training classes, as well as 24/7 option to use the gym equipment independently. The culture at the gym is inclusive, and highly supportive!

Fantastic experience: Brad is a great trainer who will commit to giving you the results you need if you are willing to also put in the time and effort. I was introduced to BST by a colleague after moving to Adelaide from Sydney and going there best thing I have done to improve my fitness. It is a great community and fun atmosphere of ‘machines’.

Fantastic experience: Great training and culture

Fantastic experience: I started training at BST Fitness Bowden 3 months ago and cannot vouch for a better gym. The classes are welcoming, friendly and most importantly, rewarding. From one push-up on day one to 20, from 20.5% body fat to 13.5%, I am pushing fitness boundaries I’ve never seen before. The gym set up is great. There’s a huge roller door which lets in natural air and light, making the weekend sessions feel almost like you’re training outdoors. Hats off to Brad who spots everyone during the session making sure we’re not only obeying the buzzer, but doing it right

Fantastic experience: Great community and trainer. Brad and his team are amazing, caring and motivated. Modern facility with latest equipment. Always have a spot for you own workout.

Fantastic experience: I enjoy training at BST Fitness. It’s a friendly vibe, great equipment, two levels and 24/7 access. I enjoy doing a mixture of classes and also my own workouts. I recommend training here.

Fantastic experience: Started off here having never been to the gym before. 9 months in and lost 15kg. Started off with group classes on weekdays then as my work schedule changed I’ve still come in and made the most of the 24/7 access. Brad and Stephen are both awesome trainers and make heading to the gym enjoyable. Saturday morning 10am class are a favourite for when you want to learn and focus on training a particular muscle group. I encourage anyone who’s new to gyms to start off with the weekday morning classes!

Fantastic experience: Brad is an excellent trainer who genuinely cares about his clients health and fitness. Whether you join the classes or workout on your own, he always checks in to ensure that you are making good progress. The gym itself is clean, modern and has a good vibe.

Fantastic experience: Great culture, equipment and classes. Brad takes a genuine interest in the progress of his members and has an infectious passion for fitness. Member for 9 months now after relocating to Adelaide. The best I’ve felt in the past 10 years. Chalk it up as one of the better investments I’ve ever made.

Fantastic experience: Great environment. Very welcoming and friendly. Brad is second to none as a trainer. Spotless and amazing equipment.

Fantastic experience: Excellent Gym, Quality Machines, Great Vibe and Amazing Trainers! Always finish my sessions feeling like I've worked hard.

Fantastic experience: BST is an amazing, quality gym! The two levels provide 24/7 access with top of the line equipment. Brad’s classes include a mixture of HITT, HIRT, weights and conditioning training which he tailors towards everyone’s specific needs. On top of this, the community Brad has built is so open and friendly, and amazing to be a part of. I could not recommend this gym high enough!

Fantastic experience: Originally joined the gym for the range of equipment and 24/7 access. Ended up staying on because of the community. Brad’s an awesome owner and trainer who’s very passionate about what he does. He has been very conscientious with hygiene which is fantastic given Covid. The second level is up now which is a great addition to the space. Loved the opportunity to support a family run business and train with awesome people.

Fantastic experience: It’s 24/7 access and great location, made it ideal for working around my busy schedule. I’ve been going to this gym for couple of years now and it’s been a great lifestyle change for me. I love the new mezzanine level that’s been put in and all the classes (especially the boxing). I’ve made lots of friends here since moving to the area and it’s a great caring community. Highly recommend for people of all fitness levels!

Fantastic experience: Unreal gym with the best crew and equipment, Brad has done a great job, something for everyone. Makes training very enjoyable. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I have been a member at BST for 4 years and would never consider going anywhere else - Brad goes above and beyond to make sure everyone is getting the most out of their training but also that they feel welcome and comfortable. There is a great range of classes and also 24/7 access to do your own thing - I cannot recommend more highly!

Fantastic experience: Great facilities, modern, clean and large selection of machines. Having the two levels and 24/7 access is a major draw card. Brad's session are High Intensity and he maximises every minute with a high attention to detail with every member of the class.

Fantastic experience: There's not many gyms I'd travel for... but this one I sure would. This gym is 10/10! Brad's expertise and group sessions will definetly get your heart rate up and burn some serious calories. He knows how to structure a workout and incorporates high intensity interval training mixed with high intensity resistance training plus throws in boxing, core, and cardio challenges to make sure we are achieving our goals. BST has an amazing culture, is super welcoming and everyone is so friendly (and it now has two levels, so we can train at any hour of the day even if a class is on!) I absolutely love this gym!

Fantastic experience: We joined BST-Bowden recently. As a family of four we absolutely love this place for our fitness and well-being. It is a community-based gym that is inclusive, friendly and the equipment is on-point. I also do the classes and it appears that the owners (family run business) are upgrading for yoga and Pilates spaces. I’ve been going to the gym for decades now so have a number of comparisons. We are delighted to have this local gym and can’t praise it enough.

Fantastic experience: Brad and the team of machines at BST fitness run a very smooth operation. I have come from a "chain" scientifically based gym that operates on getting members in the door for large group classes in a small room. BST is not run by science, but by you! The team at BST have years of experience and look at the best routines and programs for you when you walk through the door. I have been there for 6 weeks and lost 6kg in body fat. I was training at the previous gym for around 6 months and training a similar amount at about 5 to 6 classes a week and wasn't seeing the same results. I haven't even made the most of the fact that the gym is open 24/7, I have only been coming for the classes so far. Pound for pound BST knocks out the competition when it comes to group fitness as well as a fully equipped 24/7 gym (the investment into the Panatta machines should not be underestimated). Join the BST family and you will become a MACHINE!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality

Fantastic experience: BST is a community gym run by locals for locals. With HIIT, Boxing, Weights and Conditioning classes and 24 hour open gym access, BST has it all! The hard working trainers create a welcoming and supportive environment for people of all fitness levels to achieve their goals.

Fantastic experience: Great community gym. Good equipment, good people and a good variety of classes.

Fantastic experience: I was someone who did not like gyms at all and now I train 4 to 6 times a week. Going to the gym became the best part of my day. There are many reasons for that, such as the inclusive environment, the excellent supervision, great equipment and an incredible variety of classes. Thank you BST fitness for helping me achieving goals I did not think I could. I definitely recommend this gym to anyone who is looking for a friendly and inclusive environment :)

Fantastic experience: Brad is a knowledgeable and experienced PT who goes above and beyond for all members. The gym is a great community and Brad really places an emphasis on inclusion, and makes everyone feel comfortable and at home. There are a whole range of classes catering for everyone’s needs, as well as amazing equipment! Highly recommend this gym to everyone!

Fantastic experience: Great community gym with highly motivated trainers. Am really enjoying being part of the BST family.

Fantastic experience: Still the best gym in Adelaide!!!

Fantastic experience: Joined up two weeks ago and have thoroughly enjoyed attending all the classes. Great to be in a local community gym where everyone is friendly.

Negative experience: I was looking for a new gym before I moved to the area and was interested in the concept of this gym. I went to the gym 4 times during standard opening hours and it was always closed.. and I called quite a few times and no one picked up.. The when I finally got in contact with someone (honestly I should have just given up by now) he was completely disinterested. Maybe a good gym if you have already joined but hard work and poor pre-sales process. They obviously aren't interested in new members or who knows they might offer this same disappointing level of service to existing customers. Honestly don't waste your time trying, there are 2 other gyms around Bowden.
