Fitness First Melbourne Central Platinum

Fitness First Gyms in the City have top of the range equipment and facilities, not too mention their convenient locations and friendly staff!

Very very bad. Personal trainers are only interested in trying to buy more sessions from them. Staff are rude and even after cancelling membership they continued to withdraw from my account

Nice place, great open spaces. One improvement would be installing fans to suppliment the existing aircon.

Best gym I have been! 7 years of professionalism, across Management and personal trainers. Very collaborative environment. Today unfortunately I had an concerning episode when one personal trainer display abusive language towards me and my personal trainer while doing a pt session in regard to sharing equipment. The fact that this personal trainer (called I think Yousef,) was the only negative thing I have experience in 7 years, make me feel very grateful about this Amazing gym. Unfortunately this trainer seemed not to fit in the overall environment, full of kindness and respect. So hopefully the Management will take action in regards this person that had not issue to verbally abuse me and my trainer over a punching bag that he had difficulties to share, and wanted NOW for him and his client, regardless was being used and he was just told that we would leave the bag in few minutes. But he wanted it NOW so.lets abuse other right? I was really speechless. I hope I never see that trainer again to Melbourne Central. Thanks to all the amazing people there! Keep us, especially against such arrogant trainers around that dont reflect the hard work you all do to keep that gym so down to hearth and accessible to everyone.

I recently joined FF Central for a 8 week challenge but got quite sick and had to delay everything by 6 weeks
I was under the impression that I would have lost these weeks
The team was super friendly, compassionate and understanding, and i ve just started the challenge.
Thank you so much guys, and particularly to your manager Isaac.

Really want to say thank you to Ally, very professional and thoughtful. She provides valuable information about the gym and really think from my perspective. Wish you all the best!

Fitness First Melbourne Central Platinum is an outstanding gym because of the space, the modern equipment, the range of equipment the balance between fixed and free weights and the number of personal trainers and the experience of the personal trainers.
For me it has become a place to escape and work to improve and maintain myself.
I recommend Fitness First Melbourne Central to everyone.

The staff and facilities at FF Melb Central make this a first class gym. The staff are outstanding, always a warm welcome and a positive vibe. The equipment is kept in good order and we have rarely had an issue with machines availability. The floor staff and PT's always acknowledge us and if necessary, are more than happy to help me set up any equipment I need to use. The gym has worked very hard during this difficult time to ensure that they provide a safe environment for both clients and staff.

Literally finance first. All smiles when you join and when you cancel they keep debiting you and make you jump through hoops to cancel.

I'm an ex staff member as well.

Light bright open club with fantastic equipment and well maintained facilities. Love the views of the city. Secluded Mind/Body Studio and large Group Exercise Studio and Spinning Studio. Also tranquil relaxation area with steam room and dry sauna - pretty incredible. Staff are friendly and also very professional. Really great value for money.

Only can work out 50 minutes for seven times a week, even if it’s very quiet. And u still pay the same training fee, poor service.

Plans do not cancel automatically at end of stipulated duration - you have to manually request it, and actual cancellation only occurs a month after request has been made.

The staff conveniently neglect to tell you this when signing up.

I've been going to this gym for about 3 months consistently and can say that it is a really good gym.

Pros - lots of equipment even during peak time (you can almost always get what you want), clean, has all proper facilities, able to get your workout in efficiently and walk out. Love their hot yoga classes. Staff are generally nice. No one really bothers you.

Cons - too many PTs and their clients training during peak hour, quite annoying really. They ask to jump in to use a machine you're using which I think is a little rude. There definitely is this ego thing coming from the PTs which I don't like at all. The gym could definitely use more cable machines and more leg press machines. The lifts to get up to the FF level is really really slow and can get really packed during peak hour. Definitely expensive and I would recommend to sign up for a Platinum membership at a less popular FF gym to take advantage of a cheaper rate, then come to this gym.

Get out of here if you aren’t bringing money-fitness first policy.
I acquired a 7day free pass and went to try another class the second day. The manager wanted to have a conversation while it was 2 minutes away from the start of my class. I said fitness first is too expensive and anytime fitness is still my preferred option. I said i am going to use the free pass to try as many classes i can and see if i can make this expensive commitment with fitness first. So far i loved the yoga class.
The manager refused to let me in knowing all i have tried with fitness first is one and only one yoga class. The manager Jack said he thinks i am not interested in joining the gym therefore he couldn’t let me in because it is a company policy.
OK. Isn’t this anti the purpose of a trail pass?
Very insulting.

I've been exercising here for more than one month, it's really a excellent gym. Consultant Derek，Tina and personal trainer Jade are so lovely，I become loving fitness day by day. In addition, I 've never seen so many fitness facilities before, you can use all kinds of equipments here to help build your muscles. And also the price is reasonable, it's cheaper than dance club.

Look, let’s call a spade a spade.it is not by any means a lifters gym, the space is brilliant! The low to mid range hammer strength machines are okay. The usual 50kg cut off point with dbs and bbs, which is annoying. But it’s the majority members that make it a troglodyte environment. Especially when it comes to ‘gym etiquette’, which no one seems to understand or appreciate.

I haven’t ever been comfortable in a gym environment, but look forward now each week to come and train with Hossein Spz. It has been more a learning process for me- nutrition, posture and gaining skills/ tone. Honestly can’t recommend a better personal trainer.

Great location and good facilities. Can get busy during peak hours after 5pm. Good selection of machines and equipments, though some were unavailable for a while.

I have been with my personal trainer, Hossien, since February. Initially I had 3 sessions per week before working full time. Being my first time being trained, he was great in explaining the process, requirements and his role in helping me to achieve my goals.

After I started working full time, I wasn’t able to commit to 3 sessions per week. Hossien was accomodating in changing to 1 session per week. As with the case my improvement have slowed. Hossien was always great to push me to do better and maintain the progress.

I would say that PT requires a lot of commitment and patience, the personal trainer will help you achieve your goals, but it is up to you to commit to the plan your PT have set.
I would still recommend any person new to working out to have a personal trainer as they will tailor the program for you and accomodate your goals. If you are interested, hit up Hossien, he will be clear and upfront on what you are after.

I really like and enjoy this gym because all teachers and people are very helpful, patience and friendly, I always recommend Fitness first as a second home.

Spacey gym floor located exactly in the middle of cbd. I live in cbd and it is really convenient for me. The also have lots of group fitness classes to choose!
