Re-Creation Health Clubs / Goodlife South Melbourne

I've been a member at various gyms over the past 40 years and for my requirements, this gym is the best by far. Great equipment, plenty of duplicated free weights to ensure you don't need to queue for your next exercise and clean, organized layout. Staff are friendly and helpful, without being intrusive or obnoxious. Generally, all members are courteous and respectful of others with minimal angst in sharing equipment. I've achieved great results since joining this gym, mainly attributable to the high quality of the equipment and motivating environment.

So far the best branch of Goodlie that I have visited. A wide open space in the middle of the section helps to make it feel its not too crowded, good arrangement of machines, not packed all in one section. It also has the most classes happening compared to other branch near by and staff hours pretty long. 2P free parking definitely makes a difference in that busy area.

One feedback to improve, please check the tissue box in the changing room, they are almost always empty, i wonder if theyre just for display.

Like the sauna in the changing room. But I just wished they have wet steam room and i will give 5 stars then ;)

Recently joined Goodlife Sth Melb and loving it, having pt sessions with Aiden who is a fantastic trainer

Very average gym. Often overcrowded and dirty. They renovated a few years ago but stopped halfway through…

I've been a happy member for over 5 years and the Gym has improved with the New owners (Goodlife)
The current management & team led by Tom have been amazing in upping the vibe, friendliness, cleanliness and the smiles by all staff which in turn makes my workout even more enjoyable.
The facilities themselves are awesome and ample with lots of space and variety of equipment.
Definitely recommend to anyone from beginner to seasoned gym goer!
Ask Tom for a couple of visits to see what I mean & try before you buy!
Cheers James

Love Goodlife South Melbourne. Friendly helpful staff and great Trainers.
Tom the Manager pays great attention to detail and is around to help with any queries or suggestions. Plenty of space on the gym floor and in the Group X Room and lots of equipment. Great Group X classes and instructors. Great community feel amongst members too - our whole family are members. Gym has 24/7 access and free 2 hour parking. On the doorstep you have supermarkets, cafes and South Melbourne Market too. Highly recommend.

Great atmosphere, always a friendly hello or chat, a good mix of people and workout standards, everyone seems happy.

They continue to charge me after I cancelled my membership. Absolutely terrible service, I still haven’t got my refund. They promised they cancelled it but it still charged me, the 2nd time this has happened.

An amazing gym with amazing staff and a variety of group classes definitely a recommendation for everyone

I've been a member of Goodlife for a while but have just started attending the South Melbourne branch. I am so impressed with the customer service, friendly staff, and new facilities. It's always clean and you are greeted with a smile during staffed hours. Highly recommend!

Highly recommend the gym for many reasons: good clean functional equipment, friendly and helpful staff. Good vibe amongst members, easy parking (free)

Big gym with lots of equipment that is always kept new and clean. Totally recommend it if you're serious about your health and fitness.

This is a great gym; it has everything you need in spades.it’s offering has improved significantly over the last couple of years, however I have noticed more attention to detail over the last couple of months with extra attentive staff who are welcoming and always on hand for advice. In addition, it’s 24/7 the which makes it easy to pop in anytime time day or night. Great gym can’t go wrong!

Great gym. Lots of equipment. Friendly and knowledgable staff and trainers. Feels like a big family.

I really like the flexibility of 24/7. Staff are helpful and friendly. Overall a nice atmosphere and always spotless

24/7 gym, what else do you need. Almost all the equipments are there. Also there are shower rooms available

Don’t assume 24.7 access works unless you test it regularly.

Gym gets crowded, maintenance is so so.

Staff generally great.

Do Not Sign Up This Gym, they will try to keep you forever.
We signed the contract for 18 month and mini costs, now we fullfilled both terms and they are trying to charge another $190 before let us go.absolutly disgusting, Mark, I am contact with consumer affiars.and I got your email, trying to threating me on debt collection.

Good on you, and I will see you in court.

I stay in docklands but I have started going to south Melbourne gym
Like it as it's big and had plates aswell

Staff are lovely and the gym itself is great but it is so crazy busy all the time! Extremely crowded it is very difficult to get a machine.
