Just signed up to use the gym over the holiday season. I was told the gym is unstaffed over the holiday season and given a fob to enter from there 24/7 entrance. Guess what? The fob doesn t work, what a waste of money.

Great little gym in the heart of Bondi. Trainers were awesome, especially Levi who went out of his way to help. If you want a slightly more personal gym without that industrial feel then this would be a good gym for you.

I have changed my fitness habits since I have been going to Gold's Gym. Its a neat and modern installations make you feel comfortable and satisfaced, its space can fit the right amount of people yet is quite small you can still move around and gave a good training. The pt are very friendly and the staff in general very kind.

My son went to the swimming classes here and personally it's not for us. Big classes, and they basically swim 3m one way and paddle back. We addressed some feedback and they explained that this is how they work.

EDIT* After posting this review Speedo's reached out to me to handle this, which is really good.

I signed up to a Gold's gym, now after returning from overseas for a few months (I left before the gym opened) I have been told I'm a member is Speedo's gym. Not exactly the training mecca I signed up for.

Absolutely disgusting behaviour by the licensee, to firstly not even notify me of the intended change, and then by refusing to cancel my contract, for a product I didn't sign up for.

Extremely unprofessional and unethical treatment of a member that's paid every month even though I wasn't in the country. Disgusting behaviour and obviously evident of their great business ethos - money comes first not its members. Look elsewhere to train!

After 5 months of having canceled the pass to the gym, I just entered a charge to my bank account. THEY ARE TRUE SCAMMERS! I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT. With my friend we had other problems where they were supposedly solved and now I find this again. 0% recommended

I, like Paul C have had a terrible experience with this gym. They said they signed me up to a month to month contract, but have refused to cancel it or help me to resolve this matter. I couldn't be more underwhelmed by the attitude of the staff at Speedo's gym.

This is the best gym in the eastern suburbs. It is very clean, the equipment is modern and very well maintained and the staff is friendly, professional and very helpful. Fantastic value for money. You get the pool, the classes and a great vibe for a great price! And they have they own App!!! Highly recommended!

Been there to ask stop membership and it has been told to me that everything will be done once 1year of membership will be achieved, basically 2/3 weeks later. I asked if any form needed to be filled out or giving the key back but apparently no need. Then after 5 weeks I still had payement going through, I came a second time to re-ask stop memebership and for a refund of the last fortnight but I apparently needed to wait for manager to sort that out and once again it has be said member ship will be defenitly stoped. But recently I had again a month of payement going throug. I sent a email and explained situation but no refund possible. Because it has be told to me that no form or anything was needed now $140 been "stolen" from me. I think this is not professional at all. Manager was really good to explain all rules, I wish I've seen him first time I came. Anyway really not happy after all tho.

Unfortunately Speedos Fitness did not live up to expectations at all. The only reason I can provide 2 stars is becuase of how friendly the staff is. That aside, during my experience, I had multiple issues.
- The gym was always overcrowded, there is not enough space provided for the amount of members
- In peak times, you often found yourself off to the side waiting for equipment to become available
- Classes were often full and unavailable
- There was a week the bathrooms were inaccessible during unstaffed hours with no warning
- When emailing the gym to ask to be let out of our contract early, becuase we were having an awful experience, our request was turned down. We were given two weeks free, however, that did not make up for the 3 months we paid for a membership we did not use because we felt so uncomfortable.

I did email the club and to combat these issues, and we were told the following...
- train later or earlier to combat busy times, however as I work 6am-4pm, peak times are really the only time available to me
- While the gym is quite busy, we are expanding our gym floor and opening a new studio. However, upon the end of our membership, the studio still had not opened
- More classes were being added, but you can always come at the time of the class and see if there s room. However, even the added classes were full, and it s unreasonable to travel to the gym in hopes that someone won t show up and you may get a spot.

As I said, the staff is amazing. However, if you re somebody who wants space to train and easy access to classes, this gym probably will not suit your needs.

I'll make another comment because after I paid the cancellation of the gym which is already a scam, 3 months later they charge me a fee of 78 dollars. I take advantage of this situation to inform people who want to go to this gym not to do so, since the cancellation is extremely tedious and on top of that they come to charge you things when you already thought they were cancelled.

When the gym opened I was told I was not under contract until I was able to see the gym. I never heard from them until they sent me an email telling me "they missed seeing me at the gym" I called and said I am not a member although at this point they said unfortunately there was NO WAY I WAS EVER GETTING OUT OF THIS CONTRACT. This all came from the manager Matt, who I have been told doesn't pay staff properly and from an earlier post does not pay the gym bills. As i had to go to the gym, I had a fitness consult and fit plan which after 2 weeks completely aggravated the shoulder injury I had told them about. After 3 months off to recover I then tried to make another fitness consult which they asked me to pay $90 for, once I explained my AWFUL experience it was even to me for free.. The trainer at this point gave me 4 pretty basic exercises I can do for my programme which don't really warrant going to the gym for. Given what I know now I definitely would not have joined. I have been under whelmed through every part of my experience here

Swim school is good for bubs, but don t expect any consistency once they move up from this level. Teachers were transient so turnover is extremely high which isn t ideal for young children learning to swim.
Facilities are clean and good, but very cold drafts as the ice cold aircon from the gym rushes through when anyone enters or leaves via the gym automatic doors.

A terrific gym with a great people - Staff and guests alike.
The facilities are also fantastic; towels are provided, pool spin classes are now free and through summer they're starting up outdoor sessions.
Highly recommended!

I have been to this gym 4 times this week and asked for an invoice. They are not capable to send me this invoice, despite telling me 4 times that they would do it right away. The person at the reception is just not capable.

This is an absolutely incredible gym! The staff all display exemplary service by providing all members with the utmost care and respect during their time at the Club. The trainers are experienced in all areas of fitness which provides members with a fitness experience catered to their individual needs. The equipment is all exceptional and there is something for everyone, whether you want to smash out a few laps in the pool or take advantage of the free classes offered with your membership I truly feel like I get the best out of the club! If you're looking to train in Bondi, don't look any further than this exclusive yet community-based gym right in the heart of Bondi!

Been there for about a year and been robbed out of my ass for a gym that is not worth the price. I m a university student that is struggling enough to pay my bills and I get charged for being unable to go to the gym because of university and then to top the cherry off get charged an extra $10 because their billing system is unable to take my money even though i showed proof of money on my account. Then get a month bulkbilled to me or $230 so now I m late on my rent and had to ask my parents for a loan.
Besides the money the gym is very small, at some hours there are about 40 people and the place is the side of 2 school classrooms. Saw with group lessons where the fitness and cables are so just unable to use them at times.
Getting towels are good also would be good if soap would be in the showers at least over half the times.
The price has also gone up to 70 or something so yeah over priced and just cause it s bondi doesn t mean it s worth it by any means

The gym has a wide variety of machines and loose weights. One can pretty much train every muscle with all the machines they have. It is basicly a full iron gym! The people are friendly and the changing room is large. staff and trainers always happy to help and always smiling!

I swim at Speedo Fitness Club Bondi on a regular basis. The staff are always good for a chat when you walk through the door and ready with a "... need a big towel" and a smile. Love this place, especially the bathrooms.

Had my son there for a trial and had to pay upfront $112 for a month. The place is very small, crowded and noisy and poor staff attendance. My son (5 years) did not enjoy the place (super noisy with low ceilings) although I tried twice. Asked for a refund as he was not in the water for once. Did not get a refund which is disappointing. A big NO for me. Never again. This review reflects only the pool. Not the gym.
