Coogee Diggers

I used to love coming to Water Aerobics here and is in fact why I joined the Club. It finished several months ago and there does not seem to be any interest in getting a new instructor and re starting the classes

Why not contact the 20+ people who used to come regularly to water aerobics and see what they say. I think you will find that they are dissapointed in the class discontinuing. I am going to go somewhere else until it? Re-starts

If there is a machine that this gym doesn't have you flat out don't need it. It's fully equipped with everything, pool, sauna, weights, functional area.

Gym has been done up (well mostly) but some machines need replacing.swimming pool is ok, pool area is ancient but still ok to swim in, it's more the changing rooms that are pretty horrific! Cobwebs and all bright green! Sauna and steam are pretty good tho.

The Diggers Gym and Club is without question the best Gym in Coogee. The design and layout is totally next level, and it feels like a family rather than a cookie cutter, money making tie me in gym. Ahh yeah the Club has the best Tuesday night steak. Crazy value.not sure how they do it.

I am really disappointed with this gym. I joined several months ago and since then, there have been several issues. The first issue was with their payment system and inability to process my payments via a Savings account and then trying to charge me 'late payment' fees a number of times - to which I obviously disputed.

And secondly, despite being newly renovated, the downstairs area of the gym has very little to no natural air ventilation and NO aircon at all. The heat has been unbearable and it is also a serious health and safety issue. Despite a number of emails from myself and my partner, they have not responded or addressed the issue at all (with weeks between emails and follow ups). Honestly the worst customer service I've ever experience!

In the past I have used this pool / sauna facility and found the sauna smelly (body odour smell?) suggesting the sauna needs a more regular scrub / clean.
I have now also decided to stop going there as they unfortunately they do not accept the Fitness Passport Card at entry. Lots of gyms / pools in Sydney (eg. Maroubra Seals, Wylies, Fitness First) accept the Fitness Passport card, so its disappointing this RSL club has not got its act together and organised for its members/ visitors use their Fitness Passport card for payment.

First time at the bistro last night and we were really disappointed by how dirty the place was. Our toddler was given a cup with lipstick still on it. The tables, cutlery and floor were all dirty too.
We ordered food and it the quality was really poor. The risotto had no taste and the tacos were stale. I don't write this to throw shade, but rather in the hope that a venue can achieve its potential to be great.

Great community bar but giving it one star to bring attention to the Diggers needing security on Fridays and Saturdays. I saw bartenders struggle to deal with violent patrons who threatened them. They shouldn't have to deal with that.

A bit strange that the gym manager is unsure and not able to find out if the swim squad is on for the evening.

Surprisingly good bistro for a RSL club. There were plenty of gluten free and vegetarian options and it was pretty tasty. The staff are great too.

The pool and gym are getting a revamp currently and they'll be adding a plunge pool in addition to the existing very hot steam and sauna rooms.

Cold beer and good value for money food. Popped in ehre for a few cold ones a couple saturdays ago. Love a good diggers club and this is a remarkable example.

Possibly the dirtiest gym and pool I have had the misfortune to join. Gym equipment never cleaned by staff sweat left all over the equipment. Boxing room should be closed down disgusting. Sauna steam room horrendous smell I rang the health department I don’t think they have done anything about it should be closed down.

First time here and was really happy with the on tap selection as well as the menu. VERY reasonable prices for what you get. Loved it

The diggers is a great place to meet your friends for a bev and Thursday night trivia. They have relatively reasonable rates for the gym and classes etc. It lost 2 stars because the meals are expensive (but they are HUGE). I also really think it's a shame they got rid of the pinball machines in the bunker.

Had not been there for a couple of year's the place is looking good and is very family friendly. Meals were excellent

Fantastic menu, great choice of beverages and a very friendly staff, I would definitely recommend this club!

Love the diggers, it's what you'd expect from any rsl type club. Good honest food at value prices.

Go for the schnitzel and the cheap beer but don't worry about anything else.

Don't wear a hat.

Food still ordinary.good beer choice though.

Three sheets, Newtowner.
I'm not saying its bad its just not great. Fish special always cooked the same way, sometimes simple is better and the menu stays the same year in year out.you always end up having to eat the same thing. Not everyone likes spicy and not everyone likes plain I know but variety especially for the older folk who come all the time a change would be good.

Have been patronising this club quite frequently of late! Great atmosphere, friendly staff, good food, great background music, very relaxed atmosphere! Well done 'Diggers' you've got it right! Congratulations!
