1 Million Strong Gym

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this gym the best one I have ever been to sadly relocated to another area in cairns but definitely headed back there soon

Fantastic experience: My personal opinion, best gym in Cairns, full range of machines all of great quality, large selection of free weights with a nice amount of benches to use, squat and power racks and cables machines. Rarely have to wait to get your workout in as you do in other gyms. Enough machines hitting different body parts to always keep you occupied. It’s always clean, great atmosphere / vibes and from my experiences always friendly / welcoming staff. 5/5

Negative experience: Mixed Experience at 1 Million Strong – Honest Review I'll start with the positives. The gym equipment is generally decent. They offer some niche machines like the machine lateral raise, which is a nice touch. However, they're missing some essential pieces, like the seated hamstring curl. Overall, they have most of what you'd need for a solid workout—but not without a few issues. I've had occasional run-ins with staff, and I know others who've had similar experiences. Over the past year, they've increased their prices by $5 per week—a significant $260 annual jump. One would expect upgrades to justify the cost, but the only noticeable change has been adding cooling to the water dispenser. In my opinion, that doesn’t warrant such a steep price hike. It feels like they're trying to compete with bigger chains like World Gym, but without the facilities or infrastructure to match. Now onto my main concern. I had signed up for a year in advance. About a month before my membership was due for renewal, they began spamming me daily with messages urging me to renew. It became so frustrating that I eventually silenced their number. Then, a few months later, they charged a $20 “behind-the-scenes” fee, supposedly in lieu of a "no sign-up fee or hidden costs". This is misleading, as there is a $50 sign-up fee for the key tag. Because their number was silenced, I missed the message about the new fee, and my automatic payment (which was set up only to cover the usual weekly charge) didn’t include the extra $20. Their attempt to withdraw the full amount failed, and I was hit with an additional $10 fee because of the declined payment. This left a really bad taste in my mouth. I’ve never missed a payment before, and I feel penalized for something that wasn’t properly communicated and wasn’t my fault. Frankly, I’d be willing to reconsider or even remove this review if the $10 charge is reversed. Sorry, 1 Million Strong—but this experience really disappointed me, and it’s why I’m writing this review.

Negative experience: $50 non refundable for key pass. You must be signed up for a minimum of 4 weeks so yes there are hidden fees and an unofficial contract ... 2 stairs masters, also not very big space.

Positive experience: I like it ...the equipment is good showers for men can be an issue when it's crowded I have had to wait a few times, plus need more hooks especially in the showers as at the moment I have to hide my stuff and leave it out on a small bench at the mercy of anyone who wants to have a quick look

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym all round, well maintained gear, and a good variety, always clean toilets and surrounds, positive & friendly staff that run a tidy ship, Simon & team are always willing to help with a smile, & the members are respectful also, a highly recommended gym imo. Thx 1mil

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym, friendly and attractive staff. Couldn’t recommend more.

Fantastic experience: The tattooed guy behind the counters pretty handsome ngl

Fantastic experience: Best gym I’ve ever been to, friendly staff incredible machines and good vibes

Fantastic experience: The attention to detail and the welcoming atmosphere at 1 Million Strong truly set it apart from other gyms in the Northern Beaches. Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or just starting your fitness journey, the team ensures you feel supported every step of the way. With state-of-the-art equipment, world-class trainers, and a focus on personalized support, it’s not just a gym—it’s a place where members can achieve their goals and grow with confidence. Neil and his team have created more than a fitness center; they’ve cultivated a space where excellence is the standard. If you’re searching for a gym that combines professionalism, cutting-edge fitness, and a supportive environment, 1 Million Strong is the ultimate choice.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, loads of different machines and weights, close to shops and amenities <3

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Cairns!!! You won’t find a better gym / price in the area!! Being Family & locally owned you can tell they really care about you and your needs! They offer really good options for locals wanting a long term gym and people just visiting for a short time!! Everything you need in a gym, I would definitely pop in and see what they are all about if you are living in or visiting Cairns / Northern beaches

Negative experience: Came here today to start to work out the guy at the reception said " we are under staffed can you guys come back tomorrow? what a great service thanks I'm super motivated to come back on 31 of February

Fantastic experience: Great place to train, lots of equipment and friendly staff

Fantastic experience: Visiting while on holiday and I must say that I picked what I feel is the best gym in Cairns. I love the convenience of the location which is located near plenty of other shops including grocery making the area a one stop shop! Not only do they have the very best of equipment and plenty of it but the place is so freaking clean. And the staff, my highest regards to both Amber and Simon who have been nothing but great!! Perfect gym for first time goers up to elite athletes. Oh, and did I say no contracts!!! What are you waiting for, get your butt in the gym already!! ❤️

Positive experience: Good gym but the music is unbearably loud and usually not the best selection of music. Not even noise cancelling headphones work at blocking it out, could easily be turned down 50% for those who do want to listen to it and be a great gym!

Fantastic experience: Just moved to cairns, did some research and after a few trials 1 million was by far the best for service and equipment.

Fantastic experience: One of the best gyms I’ve been to, lots of equipment and space, and the fact that you don’t have to sign a contract is brilliant. They ask you stay a minimum of 3 weeks and come in person to cancel, which was fine as we were planning on staying in Cairns for around 3 months. However, we ended up having a bad car accident and had to leave cairns early, after only 2 weeks. When we called up to cancel and explain that we couldn’t come in in person, they were very understanding and let us cancel early, which was really really appreciated. In short- very friendly staff and fantastic gym.

Fantastic experience: Neat and tidy with a variety of machines and equipment. Sign up was super easy compared to others & far less “in your business” with what information is collected. Cancellations at this gym are instant as long as you’re doing so 3+ weeks after your original sign up. No waiting weeks on end while being charged!

Fantastic experience: Your gym and equipment are outstanding. Clean and the vibe is brilliant. Some staff felt unapproachable but Georgina is an absolute gem and asset to this business: Wow ….she went out her way for us and her service and friendliness is just second to none. She is just the bomb. Loved this gym and would rate it right up there on top of the gyms I’ve ever visited.

Positive experience: Great staff and equipment, but the music is weird and way too loud.

Negative experience: Went there recently; the staff were super rude and seems very sketchy stuff going on there, would not recommend going. Would rather do a band workout at home and it snap and break on my face. Good luck lol

Fantastic experience: Lots of equipment, great rate and no lock in contract. I just renew it when I am back in the region.

Positive experience: Equipment is left broken for months, good gym but can’t recommend with the broken equipment. Two of the stair machines have been broken for over a month Leg curl machine broken Elliptical machine broken Pec fly broken One of the cable racks is broken

Fantastic experience: Inclusive energised atmosphere with staff who greet you like an old friend who's returned home. All walks interact, and I have never seen more warrior legs in my life, very motivating.

Fantastic experience: The gym has everything you need and more. It is the most positive environment I've ever trained in. The staff are incredible and go out of their way to provide the best service possible. I drive half an hour each way, passing a number of gyms, just so I can train here. Clean, great staff and just a top notch gym.

Positive experience: Ok gym. Only weights and treadmills etc in use to more facilities like fitness first, fair weekly price which is good . But Always over packed by teens and can never use any of the equipment, had to cancel after a few months due to this .

Fantastic experience: Been attending 1 Million Strong for over two years now and have nothing but the best to say about it and strongly recommend it to anyone. Always clean with state of the art equipment and an amazing atmosphere. The staff namely Neil and Amy as well as others have always been nothing but friendly, helpful and welcoming. Also, I would highly recommend the PTs that 1MS offers, especially Simon who's services I've been using since December helping me lose over 20kgs.

Fantastic experience: Been attending this gym for awhile now! And absolutely love it, the staff are so friendly and super helpful when your unsure on how to use equipment they show you, always big smiles around and there is nothing like going to gym where it feels like a second home!

Fantastic experience: Moved to cairns from Melbourne back in July 2020, Checked all the gyms out in cairns & it was a no brainer from day 1. Neil & his staff were fun knowledgeable and easy going. I went with my gut & I was on the money. I left cairns in dec 2020 and came back in may this year, and of course rejoined day 1 of arrival. My wife & I love training there. :)

Negative experience: I have used this gym for 2 years on and off. Today I went in and did a work out I have done many times. I performed power cleans and dropped the weight from my hips. I’ve performed this exercise many times without issue. A staff member came up to us and said your not allowed to do those “CrossFit exercises here.” I asked what I was doing wrong, they did not provide me with an answer. I left a review with my experience and within 5 minutes, because it wasn’t a 5 star review, my membership was cancelled and I was kicked out of the gym. No explanation. Nothing rude was said on our behalf, on our way out, a partner of one of the staff members got aggressive in my face threatening my wife and I. He said “ I will find where you sleep and where you live and show you what it means to workout here.” We asked him to back away and he proceeded to push up against me and my wife. If you don’t conform to their style or workouts, hypertrophy and body building, you are not welcome here. Aside from this experience, I had many great workouts. Gary is the best trainer there. He’s supportive and always encouraging. Gary is worth attending the gym for personal training. But there are other gyms in the area that have a greater diversity of equipment and welcome people from all workout backgrounds (Cross training, general fitness and body building etc)

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to this gym for the last 8 months and my physique has improved dramatically because of it. All the machines are working well and everything is kept exceptionally clean. I also hired a Personal Trainer from there and i’ve achieved great results with him. The staff at the front desk are always enthusiastic and gregarious whenever I enter and exit. Definitely will be staying with this gym. Also love the no-contract membership that they provide us with.

Fantastic experience: LOVE IT HERE I moved down to Melbourne so stopped training at 1M for a while. Came back up for the weekend and oh maaaaaan it felt like being at home. Best facility (seriously, some of their equipment must be custom made because I haven't seen it anywhere else), friendly staff, and not too busy. Can't wait to come back up
