Fitness First St Leonards

quite large with plenty space. one of the better fitness first ive been to

A non-Platinum Fitness First with a pool, so represents good value-for-money. Enough cardio (running/cycling) machines to ensure you'll always be able to get one. Where it does fall short is in the weights/machines department, as it is quite small and limited. I guess that's why it is non-Platinum. Overall, a good place to work out, especially if you're only doing cardio/leg exercises.

Customer service is only sometimes good. Poor upkeep (many things are broken but are not getting fixed).

Have been coming to this gym for around 2 years, more regular visits this year. Gym is clean... toilets and bathrooms are clean. Lots of equipment. Friendly staff.

The bikes in RPM class are prehistoric - clunky with no electronic display. Equipment badly needs to be replaced or people will stop coming!

Gym patrons train hard. I would say this Gym is for serious training. Lots of machines, weights and cardio machines. My Favourite FF Gym. Been FF member for 10 years. Training for 28 years.

Great location; Nice, clean machines, friendly reception staff, and professional instructors (I have been doing Attack). Hopefully, they would have more step classes on weekends; wished they had more accessible drinking stations besides the one in the pool area. Otherwise, a pleasant experience so far. I think the vibe is even better(less intimidating) than the Platinum gym I have occasionally been going to. I see a couple of low ratings here but i believe if every member pitches in and make sure they wipe the equipment that they use, then gym experience will be great for everyone.

I used to love doing laps every Sunday. They've now introduced kids swimming lessons, and they don't monitor the pool, so they are everywhere, in all lanes getting in everyone's way. It's very distracting and not the experience I pay for. I won't be going back unfortunately.

10.45am Sunday 11 December 2016: I witnessed a middle-aged man, around 6ft tall, white, greyish hair and black reading glasses wearing a blue singlet and shorts, bully a young lady into 'working in with her' in the middle of her session. Gasping for breath, the young lady asserted herself politely and the man continued to provoke her (she was short, probably 5ft tall and petite). This incident occured in the TRX area where there was only myself, the young lady and another lad working out near me. Given the situation, even though the man was clearly bullying her, the young lady, nonetheless, attempted to direct him to another available apparatus and available spaces for him to set up, and yet the middle-aged fellow felt he had the authority to push into the young lady's space where she was already working out for the past 45 minutes (as I was also there in the same area at time she started, on the opposite end, next to a young lad who also witnessed the incident). Weirdly enough, the young lad, working out near me was setup exactly the same way the other lady was setup doing a similar exercise, yet that middle-aged man, didn't bother him at all. Clearly, that middle-aged bully was targeting the young lady. What was even more disruptive, was that middle-aged man threw a tantrum by throwing a dead-ball into the metal shelf as hard as could to cause a violent noise only I could hear, (as I didn't have ear phones on), I suspect, because the young lady didn't react to his bullying tactics. I spoke to the young lady and encouraged her to put in a formal complaint to Fitness First. For the other young ladies (and lads), who are lucky enough to come across this review, if you are being bullied at the St Leonards gym, tell someone immediately, submit a formal grievance. Bullying tactics and bully behaviour is just not acceptable. Fitness First management, and, members (especially the young female gym goers at St Leonards, watch out for this middle-aged man, around 6ft tall, white, greyish hair and wears black reading glasses - report him, as I did, if you experience or witness his bullying behaviour.

Be warned .... There are no staff on the floor looking to correct people if they are about to hurt themselves. No duty of care what so ever. Only a bunch of personal trainers looking after their clients and their back pockets.

I am a FF member for past 9 yrs, its a amazing place. I have seen changes to both the management and physical changes to the gym.
with 19+ Squat Racks, what more one can ask...

I do dislike the bit of untidiness in gym but its due to members being selfish. I know few guys who will not unpack the weights.

I found my great friend at this club and we are friends since.
