Fitness First Macquarie

From my brief visit in this location, vibe was alright, the equipment were great and it can accommodate bodybuilding, powerlifting and strongman.

I had an excellent experience here! Michael was very informative, motivating and helpful with all of my questions. I thoroughly enjoy the classes and the customer service at this gym.

Highly recommend this specific fitness first branch,
I had a back bone pain and I just relieved from it by the help of gentleman called Aria and I’m really grateful now.

I have been training at different locations of Fitness first but I’ll have to say the Macquarie
Fitness First is the most spacious and cleanest one I’ve been to. The friendly staff and their care makes it even a better experience. I’ve been training with Aria (PT) for the past 4 weeks and I’m quite impressed with what we have achieved.
His commitment to pushing me Beyond my limits and his care and knowledge was more than what I was expecting from a PT. He’s exposed me to a whole new world of training.
Thanks to Aria

Never been to this gym. Just giving a 1 star review for ambushing me on my way from uni to the Macquarie Centre to get something to eat and refusing to let go after I said I'm not interested. No means no.

Recently decided to switch gyms. Hearing good things about Fitness First and having a terrible experience at both Anytime Fitness and Macquarie University Gym. (do NOT go to either), I decided to come to FF instead. Within minutes, I knew this was my new gym! The staff was supportive, helpful, and all knew what they were doing. I can personally attest to Brendan, Emilio, Jackson, Michael, and Lakshay. All great workers and made me feel at home.

I can’t say enough positive things about my experience with Aria at Macquarie Fitness First! From the moment I started training with him, I knew I was in excellent hands.

Aria is not just a personal trainer; he’s a motivator, a mentor, and a true fitness expert. His dedication to helping her clients achieve their goals is unmatched. He customizes every workout session to suit my needs and pushes me to reach new heights. His knowledge of exercise techniques, nutrition, and overall wellness is incredibly impressive.

Brook an amazing trainer! I have had my fair share of trainers throughout the years, and I have never met a trainer who is as knowledgeable and proactive in learning about the best training techniques for her clients. She is very genuine and not your typical trainer.she is great with her client base as friendly.she is always willing to cater to any injury; alternatively she certainly knows how to extend you so you achieve your best results. No session is ever the same which makes it fun yet challenging.

I have been a member at mq FF for over a year and trained by Brooke for almost 4 months on and off. Really impressed and had a great experience overall. Brooke is very knowledgeable and really eager to help. For somebody like me who dreaded gym, she really helped me come out of my shell and to work on my pain points. I recommend Brooke if you are really looking long term results and commitments

My friend and I asked to have a free session to check out the gym.

We expected the staff to ask us to sign up after our session, what we didn't expect was 20 minutes of the most aggressive salesman tactics to be thrown our way to get us to sign up. After which in a last ditch resort once they knew we aren't signing up, they informed us that we have to pay $32 for our session.

If we were expected to pay they should have been upfront about it.

They also mentioned the gym is a premium platinum gym, just a heads up to anyone thinking of visiting, the gym equipment felt like it was on the brink of failure and looks at least 10 years old.

Many dirty female lockers and many locks are out of batteries. I gave feedbacks to the staff TWICE. Sadly, they obviously didnt take the feedbacks seriously and the dirty lockers have never been touched after weeks. Btw, Carie yoga teacher is horrible at directions and instructions, which is a really turn off for a yoga lover. The teachers of other classes zumba, bodyattack and body pump are amazing tho.

As a regular at FF Macquarie, I am fascinated by the high ceiling, the varieties of classes and machines. I have been attending Wednesday 12.30pm Body Pump classes which was originally run by Heidi (Hee P). Thoroughly satisfying class especially when Heidi was the instructor. She brought a positive atmosphere to the entire class and would make sure everyone’s needs were attended to. Overall, a great gym and great people

Got in touch with Sveto at Fitness First Macquarie with a seemingly impossible goal.
Wanted to shred some weight prior to getting married.
With Sveto's guidance and more importantly accountability managed to over achieve and lose 6 kilos in 6 weeks in a sustainable manner.
Highly recommend to anyone who wants to shift their way of thinking and attitude towards fitness long term.

Aria is an amazing trainer, who I couldn’t recommend enough. Through each of his personalised sessions I’ve noticed my fitness increase. His knowledge is unmatched, and over the past year of training with Aria he has taken me from someone who avoided the gym, to someone who truly enjoys working out. If you’re looking for a trainer, you can’t get anyone better than Aria!

Have never felt so welcome and supported. Top quality all the way around from staff to equipment and facility. Could not ask for better in any way.

Busy and nobody puts the weights back. Staff are really nice/friendly. Plenty of classes if you're into that sorta thing. Limited hours.

It's a well equipped gym and very conveniently located in Macquarie Centre. Great experience with most staff, they're helpful and friendly. However, Rachel is one of a kind! She's outwardly rude and assumes the worst in people. If you're someone of skin of colour I recommend dealing with anyone else. You will have a much nicer experience! My family of three are all members at the gym, and since my mother's visiting us for a while we're on the hunt for a gym with reasonable short time contracts. Rachel rudely said today the "5day trial is only for tentative members" if you don't intend to join you shouldn't use the trial pass. I mean seriously, stop assuming and learn to respect! But again we love the classes and everyone else is genuinely great!

I have been training at Macquarie fitness first for almost 5 years now and recently made the decision to work with a personal trainer. I have been training with Aria for almost 3 months and have seen immediate results. He had helped me reach my goals by improving my form, strength, and fitness levels. He is an amazing personal trainer, who makes each session fun while pushing you to your limits. Highly recommend Aria to anyone thinking of getting a PT - one of the best decisions I have made!

Unprofessional staff… I tried the gym as a guest to decide whether or not to join this gym… but due to pathetic customer service I’m glad I did not invest in a membership.
Just a suggestion - the least you can do to attract customers is to be respectful, it won’t hurt!

Well this review has 2 parts
First about my personal trainer “Aria” who is absolutely knowledgable, punctual and polite gentleman.
He immediately realises what you need and advises how to get to the target.
Second when it comes to Fitness First I believe they can do much better job.
There are issues with:
- Lockers
- Broken Machines
- Too windy air conditioning
& ….
Rush up guys
Perfect coaches and loyal clients deserve better service don’t behave people like Scrooge
