Fantastic experience: Best gym I’ve ever been to. Real community feel where great friends are made. Wes know his stuff and is an absolute legend.

Fantastic experience: I have been coming to Monkey Bar Gym for 2 years now, it's a fun and inclusive group, great for both my physical and mental health. The workouts are varied and interesting and suitable for a wide range of levels of strength, fitness and age! It's been great to see myself and others in the classes progressing and improving over time. There's nowhere else like it!

Fantastic experience: I joined MBGA just over 12 months ago when I first moved to Darwin. Wes and Lex have worked hard to make MBGA a community; thankfully one that helped make Darwin feel like home. I made friendships and bonds that helped make going to the gym consistently much easier, and ones that extended outside the gym. Through the support of Wes and the gym community I was able to stay consistent enough to drop 10kgs without feeling like going to the gym was a chore. I would 100% recommend this gym to all my friends and family for mobility, strength, stretching and feeling like you’re part of one big family.

Fantastic experience: Monkey Bar Gym is a community. I often come and go but when I am there I am made to feel welcome. Often times when you start out at a new gym it’s intimidating as you feel you won’t be able to keep up with everyone else, but not here. The members are helpful and encouraging and it’s accepted you can go at your pace, however if you want to push your limits you can thrive here also. As the classes are small there is an emphasis on correct technique and the experience of the class does not become diluted. Wes is an amazing instructors with years behind him and his teaching style is unique- none of this overdone muscle mania just real training for real people. There is honestly no other gym that compares!
