Ryderwear Gym & Retail Munno Para

Positive experience: Great gym, has so much range of equipment

Fantastic experience: One of the cleanest, well-maintained gyms I’ve been to. There’s enough space for stretching and plenty of machines, even during peak hour I’m in and out within an hour. Only thing is, I wish there were some self-propelled treadmills, like assault treadmills.

Fantastic experience: Best gym I've trained at. The equipment is state of the art, and there is a lot of it. Never have to wait for equipment. The cleaners are always there, cleanest gym in SA... The staff are friendly and inviting and always present during staffed hours. The other gym users are thoughtful and return weights to the racks, not like other gyms where they are either left on the machines or just dumped on the floor. 5 stars for the Ryderwear community.

Fantastic experience: Excellent environment, friendly staff, variety, and abundance of equipment. You won't have to wait. All members are very respectful and nice. Price is also very reasonable.

Fantastic experience: Good gym and great gym wear

Fantastic experience: First time ever going to the gym and am glad me and my girlfriend chose this one, i’m not a gym expert but im sure the range of equipment and recovery resources are exceptional especially compared with other gyms in the area. The only thing that kind of annoyed me would be the music, whilst it is of course cool to have the music on, it would be a bit better if it was turned down a bit, as at some points i was struggling to talk to my girlfriend during the workout. However that is just nitpicky

Negative experience: Scam demands money if someone holds the door for you and you forget to scan in

Positive experience: Excellent & affordable gym for meeting any goal with exceptional gym equipment. I had moved to this gym from another for four months as of now, this gym has great variety of equipment for either strength and cardio training, with a large array of benches and machines both with plates or pin loaded. I have enjoyed learning to use these machines and have been following a workout plan using them. This gym is always kept clean and the staff I've spoken to are approachable, the PT Markas goes above and beyond to make your experience pleasurable. I have not found myself waiting too long for equipment during peak hour. I found the gym to be at its busiest at the start of the week and more quiet towards Friday, between the times of five to eight pm. This gym would greatly appreciate the use of the CrowdDJ system that can be used on mobile phones and in person. I highly recommend this system to be implemented as I would love to play my own music on the speakers, even if there is a cool-down period before another song of my choosing. I have found it difficult to locate 2.5kg plates as they are somewhat scarce around the gym, however the addition of the CrowdDJ would be a higher priority. Overall I would recommend this gym for the affordability and big variety of machines available. I would rate higher stars if the features mentioned were to be implemented.

Negative experience: Rip-off. There are better options in the area for a better price.

Fantastic experience: It is a Fantastic experience!. The gym is well laid out. The staff are helpful too.

Positive experience: I think the gym is great, great machines. The atmosphere, not so. I walk through and get ignored, or if they do say hello it is with distain. Or they get another staff member to say hello. Competive atmosphere

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym great people staff are super friendly highly recommend this gym

Positive experience: Great equipment and the place looks new and clean. I’m giving three stars purely because of the weird setting of the sauna/changing rooms. You have to turn on the saunas yourself, so if you forget to do it before the end of your workout, you’ll end up waiting 15 minutes for it to heat up. Also, there are only three small saunas that only fit one person each. I wonder what happens when it gets really busy. Changing rooms could also benefit from having lockers. None of the above is a big deal, but I do believe it would provide that extra value to the membership.

Negative experience: I am giving 2 starts for the gym, it was amazing and soo big, I was very excited to join and was waiting for its opening. I went there with my partner to have a look, The staff (tall male) at reception was very arrogant and rude. His behaviour changed my mind and then I bought other gym membership.

Fantastic experience: The gym is very new, love it. However the music is super loud. I feel headaches especially when I am doing the Pilates, the strong and super loud music makes me very uncomfortable. Hope the volume can be lower to normal level.

Fantastic experience: I switched from Derrimut gym to Ryderwear and it was one of the best decisions I’ve made. Staff are way friendlier, a more welcoming atmosphere and great equipment. Also plenty of floor space!!!!!!

Fantastic experience: Love the new gym! There is such a large range of equipment, I go at peak time and have never waited for a machine. It's also spacious so you don't trip over other members. The sauna is amazing, change rooms are large and have great facilities. The staff have been ver helpful also. 5⭐️s

Fantastic experience: absolutely love it here! super nice staff and greeted as u walk thru the door, many machines that are put in specific areas for you to pick from. people in the gym are always super nice and good to be around. there are respectful boundaries such as saunas, ice baths and toilets that are separated from the boys and girls. always super clean and everything is spotless such as the mirrors, floor and machines. everything is super spacious and place is massive with lots of machines to give a shot. only $4 more on your weekly membership and honestly worth it to go up to platinum, you get the ice baths, pilates, posing room and the sauna, and that’s just 4 dollars more my mind is blown. but more overall the staff are just super friendly and definately don’t think i’ll be leaving, keep up the good work guys

Fantastic experience: Love this gym so much, it certainly makes you wonder why you stayed at snap fitness for so long. This gym makes snap looks boring and the Ryder equipment is the best. Great staff and the place is sooooo clean.

Negative experience: Equipment and Safety Concerns at the New Ryderwear Gym Munno Para. As a regular at other Ryderwear Gym locations, I was eager to check out the new Munno Para Gym. As a dedicated fan of Ryderwear gyms, it pains me to write this, but my experience at the new Munno Para Gym was unfortunately disappointing due to the differences in equipment quality and safety compared to other Ryderwear gyms. Facilities: The gym is new and has a clean, modern look, but the equipment selection and safety issues are lacking. While there are plenty of strength training machines available, they differ significantly from those at other Ryderwear gyms. These alternative versions are not as intuitive or user friendly, making the workout unnecessarily complicated and less efficient. Additionally, some machines are placed on uneven ground, causing them to rock during use, which is both disruptive and unsafe. The machines haven't been properly secured or placed on level flooring. Furthermore, the different version of the dumbbell workout benches have metal or hard plastic edges, which scrape your legs when getting on and off or moving up and down. Unlike benches at other Ryderwear locations, these lack full padding around the edges, making them uncomfortable and causing minor injuries. Atmosphere: While the atmosphere at Munno Para is fresh and inviting, the excitement fades when you realize that the equipment does not meet the high expectations set by other Ryderwear locations. The unstable machines and uncomfortable dumbbell workout benches significantly detract from the overall workout experience. Staff: The staff at Munno Para were friendly and welcoming, maintaining the positive customer service standard of Ryderwear gyms. Overall: Despite the new facility and welcoming staff, Ryderwear Gym Munno Para falls short due to subpar equipment and safety issues. The strength training machines, while plentiful, differ from those at other locations and are less user friendly. Some machines don't offer the same range of weights as those at other locations, further limiting their functionality. The instability of some machines and the uncomfortable dumbbell workout benches with hard edges further detract from the workout experience. As someone who trains six days a week, these issues matter. I’ve been encouraging my friends who live in the area to join Ryderwear Gyms for months, but after this visit, they decided to stay at their current gym. I can't blame them, if this were my local Ryderwear Gym, I would probably cancel my membership. I hope they address these issues promptly to meet the high standards of their other gyms.

Positive experience: New gym is awesome!!! So many machines and plenty of each type so you shouldn't have to wait for a machine! I love the nice big open activity space! Plenty of room for stretching, walking lunges etc! The facilities are great too! 3 showers, so you shouldn't have to wait for one. The main improvement I would like to see is electrical outlets in the bathrooms so that we can dry/straighten out hair after a shower and before heading off to work. Otherwise, a really great gym with great equipment! **** Thank you so much for putting an electrical outlet in the bathroom! Top tier gym!!! **************** There seems to be an issue with the air conditioner being on! It's Summer and yet the air doesn't appear to be left on a decent enough level to keep the gym comfortable. I also train at the Alberton location and it is ALWAYS comfortable there! Please, please leave the air conditioner on and at a decent enough level to keep the gym comfortable!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym. Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: I believe the gym would greatly improve with the inclusion of Michael Catta as a PT there, and for those wishing to understand why, you should contact him at Ryderwear Tranmere, or on his socials on YouTube, TikTok or Instagram. I think that Soren fellow left a very intelligent review on the quality of this gym and I wholeheartedly agree with him

Fantastic experience: 0/10 because Michael Catta isn’t a PT there go to Ryderwear Tranmere to get coached by the best PT ever (originally it was a 0/5 star rating but I felt bad because it’s a cool gym if we ignore the fact that Michael Catta doesn’t work there)
