South Pacific Health Club St Kilda

Love this gym.location, variety of classes, facilities and instructors. Amanda's spin classes are absolutely awesome, like a dance party on bikes before work. Fun and a great workout. Also love Deb's yoga classes and Katina's pump classes. They're all so good - best move I made starting at this gym. Highly recommend!

If I could give zero stars I would, they’re staff members couldn’t care less about you. They’re customer service from senior staff is also poor from avoidance tactics to straight out lying to you. One of the worst gyms I have ever made the mistake of joining.

Caveat Emptor. Check the contract carefully before signing up. I am unable to physically attend due to surgery - and even after 12 months - I have been forced to pay out an extra month's membership despite NOT being able to attend.

Have recently joined. The gym is great, big, plenty of weights/machines and areas and never too busy/crowded. Amanda's Wednesday morning spin classes are probably the best spin classes I've ever done. Awesome level of guidance and instruction, push and challenge.

Most classes at the gym are excellent - especially the Body Pump classes taught by Marisa Viola. Her classes are amazing, she is switched on and conducts her classes with utmost love and dedication.

Absolutely loved my time at South Pacific St Kilda - especially the body pump classes with Marisa, she was excellent! Super friendly, very encouraging, payed attention to injury prevention and educated everyone on how to complete exercises correctly. All round amazing. Big love.

For a 'Premium' club charging 'Premium' pricing this gym is lacking in many aspects.
There is only ONE lat pull down machine, only ONE rower machine, not enough free weights, the machines are so old and out of date, there is a lot of wasted floor space that they could fill with new machines and equipment. The back 'quiet section' is as hot as an oven because the air conditioning never works!
Paying premium prices you would also expect 24/7 access which it doesn't have (although the Mentone South Pacific location does and that isnt a 'premium' gym?)
The only positive is the location. I am hoping someone else takes over this space and turns it into an amazing gym as it has so much potential.
They should take a leaf out of Fitness First's Richmond Premium Club which has such a great set up with countless machines.

I have been training at South Pacific St Kilda for a long time now, and love it! The gym has great classes, heaps of space, and cardio machines that look out to the sea and a vibe that is friendly and focused. There are a bunch of great trainers, especially Amanda Lenny, who has been a real pandemic bonus for me. She has got me to the gym, enjoying challenging work outs and provides fantastic pep talks in the gym class and in our PT - that everyone loves! Fitness has never felt so good!

I go three times a week. Truly a melbourne gem. The hot salt swimming pool and baths keep me healthy thru winter and all year round.

Awesome facility and friendly staff. Had an awesome workout here with the large variety of workout equipment. Unfortunately the pool and steam room were shut for renovations but it looked super nice from the window. Very nice

The facilities here are excellent. Plenty of treadmills, bikes and cross fit machines overlooking the bay. All well maintained and cleaned often. There is something for everyone with 3 high altitude rooms, good choice of classes, lots of free weights and pully machines so I never need to wait. Staff are very professional and friendly. Highly recommend South Pacific St. Kilda.

So I made this wise decision to try this HIIT class for first time in 2021. I saw the trainers name Nik Yerkovich and expected some crazy Russian and kinda knew what I was in for. Well I just finished (survived) the class now and he wasn't a crazy Russian.he was a crazy half Maori half Yugoslavian dude so not far off but double the crazy. I've been training at this gym on and off for about 7yrs and at least tried all their group fitness classes. If you have the Kahunas and really wanna test yourself look out for the name Nik Yerkovich on their group fitness timetable. He's one tough sun of a gun and will put you through your paces. I want to lose weight so I can start training in MMA but realise I ain't doing that till I can keep a respectable pace in Niks classes.

Seriously couldn't praise this gym more highly. Incredible class offerings, great facilities and really intuitive and lovely staff.
Elka (pilates), Marisa (body pump) and Bronwyn (yoga) in particular have helped shift my mindset towards exercise and group fitness. The various spaces suit everyone and despite being so busy, I've never felt overcrowded or like I was on top of anyone else.

Nothing beats being able to jump from the sauna and spa into the ocean!

Marisa Viola who teaches Bodypump classes on a Monday and Tuesday, is an absolute diamond. She goes above and beyond in her highly motivational attitude, genuine care over her students and upbeat personality. The gym is very lucky to have her. You can’t not enjoy her classes while you’re also getting whipped into shape. I only hope I look like her when I’m older!

Received a 1-day free trial in my mailbox for the South Pacific Health Clubs (swimming pool, fitness, etc.). Initially went there on Sunday to get told the trial does not include the swimming pool. However, Management Team has contacted me back since to confirm it was a mistake and offered me to come back for the 1-day trial (swimming pool included). The gym is very spacious with a nice view on the St Kilda Bay area and well equipped. I was impressed by the altitude training rooms and recommend to reach out to them for a free tour. Unfortunately, they is no way to apply online for membership and membership fees are not visible on their website. For example, I had no idea there was a promotion ending up today (31/03/2021) to become a member and I would maybe have applied before if I was aware of it.

The gym offers fantastic yoga and group classes (including yoga on the beach!) with great instructors (Jani is awesome). Paul the gym manager is fantastic to deal with.

I’ve been to many gyms, had many PT’s and been all over Melbourne. I was skeptical at first with going back to the gym and finding it so difficult to be in crowded areas with my mental health issues.
Then one day Amanda Lenny changed everything. She listened and cared about what I was looking for and for someone who hates gym, here I am, a couple of months later I am a member in this amazing gym with such awesome staff and trainers. The gym is spacious and has the best view, and of course the pool! Could not recommend more! Also shout out to Paul for helping with my sign up. You run an awesome place!

Excellent Gym and location. Great variety of equipment and group classes. Very much enjoy the Yoga classes, run by wonderful and skilled instructors Very excited to see the introduction of beachfront yoga class. Highly recommended!

Great place! Really great atmosphere. Highly recommend the classes - the trainers are really friendly and approachable. Easy to make friends in the classes with other members. Marissa is great if you want to do Les Mills body pump, explains things really well. Michael and Gab always have a good playlist and keep things fun too. Paul takes a great Hiit class if you want to push yourself a lot.
If you looking for a post covid gym to get fit again I recommend:)

I've been training in this gym for 10 years. It's a good value for money and they made an effort to renovate the bathrooms of the gym. Before the renovations I would give them a 4. They need to improve the cleaning of the pool, steam foom and the spa.
