TFW Darwin: Opinions
Fantastic experience:
Fantastic experience: I achieved my goal and beyond! Thanks to Tom and all the very friendly trainers. I would recommend this gym anyone who struggles with self motivation and new to strength training. Also, new admin staff are very solution focussed and helpful.
Negative experience: Having just moved to Darwin I was looking for my new regular gym. I was excited to check out TFW and the physical gym itself does not disappoint. I wasn't a big fan of the owner (gave me the takes himself too seriously vibe) but thats a personal view and the members were definitely friendly. I didn't have a good experience sadly. When you sign up for a trial you sign a long document that states you'll roll into a membership and you give your bank details, unless you email them to give them notice. This didn't sit right with me so I withheld my bank details and emailed them to say I will only be trialling with no membership to be started until I let them know. Lots of emails, face to face chat and phone calls from myself and the gym that this was not going to be a problem. I informed them I joined another gym and passed on my thanks and feedback, however now I am receiving emails that I owe them money (nobody has noticed me not being there for weeks! Not a great sign if I was meant to be a member). They are a business but they need to change this approach to new members. Also, the warm up is synchronised star jumps (yes-thats right you heard it!) not specific to exercises done on the day and puts the fear into most women who have had a baby. My advice is to lay off new members or you'll scare them off and shake up that warmup, $55/week needs more! Proceed with caution...
Hi Julia, we appreciate your feedback and will take it on board. We understand that the way we do things are a little different to other places but we do enjoy being different. Our process is to enable our customers to actually commit to their health and fitness goals and if we were not keeping people accountable as Personal Trainers then we don't believe we would be doing our job. We clearly state that if you do NOT want to continue then please email us. Its quite a simple process really, people can come in and try out what we do and then by the end of the week if they do not enjoy it then they email us and we cease their membership. In our experience as Personal Trainers its very easy for people to loose focus and to cheat on themselves when training gets tough. So at least this way we enable people to actually follow through with what they have said. We are trying to help people get fitter and healthier and that takes commitment. We are not trying to squeeze money out of people, we are trying to help people commit to their goals. It is our job to do that and we stick to our guns on that one. The reason for you receiving an email about money is because the system we use wants us to put the prospects details in so if and when the prospect joins all the details are already there. We did not debit any money out of your account as you had told us you did not want to join, the email you received was an automated response from the system as we had not deleted you off the system on time. Our apologies for this, sometimes people slip through the net and our email system carries out its automated tasks.... As far as the warm up in concerned, we understand that star jumps are not for everyone however it is part of what we do. We are sorry you didn't see the merit in warming up your feet, your internal and external rotators of your hips and shoulders and increasing your coordination before you started training. We will attempt to do better in the future and we aim to keep our service of as highest quality as possible. Good luck with your goals and your new gym :)

Fantastic experience: Vern and Tom create a welcoming atmosphere but also push you to make the most out of your time there. It’s not inexpensive, but your health is an important investment.
Thanks Harry! Kind words and very true words :)
Positive experience: Great gym for those looking to get functionally fit. The workouts are one of a kind, and is never the same thing twice. Vern and Tom run the place, and they run it well. They definitely know what they are doing. The primary focus here is group workouts, very similar to Orange Theory.
Fantastic experience: Hands down best “gym club” experience you’ll get. The Semi Private Personal Training/Group fitness TFW provides is its cincher over other gyms. Training in a small group environments, your form is observed and getting it right is their priority. You get stronger, and better at it. Technique is everything, but it’s all done within your ability - which improves. Take advantage of the free week trial if its on offer. Plus the crew that attend are also good people.
Cheers travels!!!!
Fantastic experience: Tom and Vern run a fabulous gym. They are so patient, knowledgeable, passionate and willing to help. When I walked into TFW Darwin a year ago I am sure these guys thought they had found the most uncoordinated person in Australia. But with their help I have become fitter, leaner, stronger and more coordinated. I have also made some great friends. But the best thing is they have proved to me girls should lift weights.
