No better place to burn 500-700 calories in 45 minutes than in 1R's Reshape class! I discovered 1Rebel in London and was thrilled when they opened a studio in South Yarra. 1R is known for their Reshape, Reformer Pilates and Rumble (boxing) classes. Reshape is my favourite class. For someone who can't get motivated in the gym, the Reshape classes got me coming back regularly, with its combination of speed and endurance sets on the threadmill, full body/ weights workout on the bench + banger tunes. It's a tough but fun workout and will get you sweaty. There's a 'Rebuild' class which is an easier version (75%) of 'Reshape' if you opt for a less intense class. Gemma's classes are the best! Have I mentioned the shower? The amenities are a delight, thank you! 1R can benefit from these suggestions which are adopted in the London studios: - the "time" on the threadmills in the Reshape classes are not accurate - these can be easily fixed; - trainers should tell attendees to stand either on the left or right hand side of the bench - otherwise it could be chaotic; - trainers should ask attendees to place their legs at the 'R' symbol on the bench because of the lighting; - when trainers demonstrate a workout, ask the attendees to follow along; - incorporate more ab workouts on the bench; - the London change rooms has cotton buds, make up remover, warm face towels, recyclable disposable bags (for dirty clothes) and Nike merchandise! Can we have these in Melbourne? I recommend the Aus trainers to check out Scott's workout in London. Overall 1R deserves a 5 star rating for being one of the best Aussie gyms. Keep up the good work!

I go to 1R reshape twice a week at Richmond and/or South Yarra. Some of the trainers are exceptional. Really motivating and fun classes. Others are less impressive and enthusiastic. I think if you get to know the trainers you can find the ones that suit you. With that being said, none of the trainers provide much guidance on form. If you are a beginner I wouldn’t recommend a reshape class, or even a rebuild class (less intense). The classes are dark and the music is loud so the trainers are just not able to assist you. Very easy to injure yourself. As much as I enjoy the classes, I have been disappointed with the level of customer service at 1R. I pay weekly and they only let you pause for 2 weeks per year before they charge you. For someone who is often away 4 weeks this seems very poor especially as the membership is quite pricy already. More importantly, they charge a $15 no show fee if you don’t turn up to class. Even if you cancel within 12hrs you are charged a $10 late cancel fee. Unsure why as you have already paid for the session and surely this just encourages people to show up when they are unwell? Very extreme and the worst I have experienced from any gym. Not in line with an organisation that should encourage health and wellness. Today I was charged $15 despite attending my class not sure why as I checked into class with reception staff. Hoping this is refunded and rectified ASAP. Disappointing. So close to being a great gym. Sort it out 1R!

THIS GYM IS NOT BEGINNER FRIENDLY. Do not, I repeat do not go to this gym if you are a beginner and new to the fitness scene. This gym is catered for intermediate individuals who are already working on their set fitness goals. I did a reshape class, the trainer was lovely and energetic. He was supportive and kind during the session. However, I am not fond of these exercises and especially with weights, it is very dangerous. The intensity and along with incorrect form while having the pressure to complete the exercise. After I trained, I felt incredibly sore in the wrong places and my shoulders and back have never felt so painful. It has become hard for me to stand up straight, sit down properly and even just relax because of the pain I am in. I would not recommend this gym for anyone who is not well trained about proper form and needs to build their endurance first. It would have been a better experience if I was stronger and knew what I was doing. The people at the front were also quite stand off ish, making me nervous to even order a drink. Showers were dirty. I would still love to try their Pilates and rumble class, however I will not be able to return due to my current injury from the last session.

Arrived 10 mins earlier as a first time guest. There was no greetings and the receptionist who looked like she was stuck in her head/daydreaming. walked up to her and politely suggested it was my first time there and she reluctantly and really quickly ran through a few instructions without mentioning where to store our belongings. walked downstairs only to realise the lockers were upstairs and had to come back up. Then I was rushed aggressively by the receptionist to hurry up when she failed to do her job to inform me about where to leave my belongings in the first place. Don't appreciate being spoken to in such a manner throughout the entire process.

UK’s 1Rebel now in Melbourne. The studio is more akin to a nightclub so you don’t really feel like you’re working out (that’s what makes it so fun!) Three concepts to choose from — Rumble, Reformer and Reshape, so there is something for everyone. Rumble is what got me in the door but I love all three! Variety of coaches on the timetable which all bring energy and enthusiasm to get you pumped. Prosecco served after classes on Friday evenings if you’re into that too! Amenities are clean and modern, and towels and toiletries available.

  • Zoe K

Had a rumble (boxing) class here after trying a few studios around melbourne and this is by far the best. Instructor made us feel welcome right away and was happy to give us tips on our form. The class was energetic and made you push yourself. The included boxing gloves was also a bonus. I am not very strong/big so I loved that you worked on your punches with a bag rather than another person. Amazing workout.

  • Natasha Kerr

1R South Yarra is the absolute best. I have no words to describe it other than I don’t think I will ever find a gym that matches or comes close to what 1R is. Not only are the classes incredible, but the trainers are the kind of trainers that you can genuinely tell they want you to excel for the good of your strength and feels, rather than your looks. 11/10 to 1R over and over, I will recommend it forever!!

  • Shelley Williams

1R is the best gym I have been to in a while. The facilities are next level and the workouts are insane. I keep thinking they will get easier but they never do, which is what has driven me to keep going and keep getting better. Highly recommend this gym to anyone who wants the flexibility of having 3 different class styles everyday. The music is always on point and the staff are awesome.

  • Rachel Moss

I Love 1R! I’ve been an elite sportsperson, crossfitter, runner, etc but 1R just hits that perfect spot of being super hard but also super fun! This boutique gym is full of positive vibes, friendly staff and classes that will leave you sweating and feeling like you made the most of every second of your precious time! Do yourself a favour and book yourself in for a class at 1R

  • saoirse geoghegan

First negative review I have ever had to write for anything! Sadly, the worst experience I have had at any fitness class denied entry due to being late and charged full cancellation fee despite staff being aware of reasons for being late. Thankfully, any other studios I've attend in Melbourne are much more understanding and accommodating for clients.

  • Olivia B

I haven’t been to the gym in over a year now and I started coming to 1R. The trainers are so lovely and compassionate, the workouts are also really fun but challenging. I like the nightclub atmosphere and how friendly the community is. I want to thank Alejandro and Scarlett for being such encouraging and kind trainers especially.

  • Stephanie Hiltermann

What a great gym!! I did the rumble class with Chloe for the first time the other day. She was super knowledgeable and high energy. She called people by their names throughout the class which makes it feel more personal. The actual class was amazing - good boxing to body weight exercise ratio. Get ready to sweat!!

  • sanja nenadic

Not for pregnant or postpartum women - instructors either don't know how to modify or just don't - you're very much left to your own devices. Kaya much better in that regard, or One Hot Yoga nearby (which does reformer). Otherwise, gym is nice and clean and staff are friendly.

  • AJ

The BEST gym in the South East with amazing facilities. I love the mix of classes, they have all the classes I love, including boxing, pilates and bootcamp style! High energy and intense. The instructors are all super approachable and friendly. Would highly recommend this gym!

  • Michelle DeKlerk

Love this gym. Great offering in terms of classes and times of sessions. The classes have some great instructors that really know their stuff and can help you modify a session based on what you need. Exercising in the dark is also a bonus and they always play great music.

  • Chelsea Pozzobon

Absolutely horrible experience. After sustaining an injury during the class, there was absolutely no concern or regard to my injury. Instead, I was met with the poorest customer service experience. After requesting my membership be paused

  • Jacqui Montesa

Such an amazing concept. Its such a great place, super clean facilities, and you have choices that suit your need. Its so good, I’m here almost every day! But most of all, has an amazing bunch people who help me achieve my fitness journey!

  • Matt Frost

Next level workout experience - especially in Reshape room. Best sound you'll ever hear in a workout class. Coaches are all top quality and Technogym Skillruns really create the difference for the running workouts.

  • Claire

Maree is the best trainer!!! She is both welcoming and understanding of personal circumstances (injuries), which has made trying something new far less nerve racking. It’s a great gym - loving the RESHAPE classes!

  • Josh Adams

Honestly the most beautiful gym i've ever seen. The lighting and sound system is insane. This is so much more than just a gym. Everyone should get to experience 1R at least once in their life.

  • Tessa Ellwood

A friend and I went for the first time tonight. A rumble class. Absolutely incredible. Our trainer was absolutely amazing. The best fitness class I’ve ever been to. Thank you …

  • lim huiling

Good intense workout class with good music on. Well equipped for after workout shower too. However all this come with price tag, not cheap class but worth doing every now and then.

  • Matt Coulter

Awesome boxing gym classes, the experience is like none other that I’ve done before. I live over an hour away and it is worth the drive once or twice a week for this experience!

  • John White

Love 1R Rumble! The trainers, Karuna and Scarlett are really good and motivational. Most classes are different each week and we're able to improve our boxing skills each week

  • Grace Boyd-Quinn

Recently did a class at this facility through class pass, the class was motivating and the whole gym creates an amazing atmosphere. Couldn’t recommend trying them out more!

  • Carrie Hall

Love the gym, super clean and friendly staff. The classes are also a perfect challenge - the only downside is the lack of parking available around the area.

  • Peter

A stylish and fun gym that leaves you hurting and in a drenched sweat at the end of each session. Music is on point and so is the vibe of the instructors!

  • Sam Kagan

Brilliant gym, brilliant concept. Lovely staff and nothing short of a pleasure to work with. Exciting new precinct in South Yarra. Peace and good things.

  • Sparky Hart

Has an annoying screen that makes a lot of flashes. Keep thinking a car has spun around in a crash or a speed camera. Either way obnoxious and not safe.

  • Flywith Dinh

AMAZING gym studio with 3 hiit classes which makes you feel amazing. Would definitely recommend a visit to this club vibe studio for a great workout.
