Do NOT recommend coming here or signing up. Be careful of their contracts. It’s one of those things that they hide important details in the fine print. Called up to enquire as I started suddenly being charged even though I had called up months prior to cancel. Lady was very rude on the phone, asked for her name so I could follow up- wouldn’t give it to me. Asked for the bosses name- wouldn’t give it to me either. I was told “if you want to speak to the boss come in and speak to him yourself” Do not sign any contracts with them as they will scam you! The person on the phone was very misleading and her response to the bad treatment and losing a longtime member was “we’re only losing one member it’s not a big deal”. These people don’t care about you- they just want your money. Honestly don’t give these people your money. The lady I spoke to at the front desk worked 24/10/2022 at 9pm. So unprofessional & extremely disappointing considering I had been a member for so long.

staff are super friendly and helpful, owner is a gem of a man, the gym itself is very spacious and has ever single type of equipment you can think of, hence you won't be waiting for a machine even in busy periods, I've been going here for about 5 years now, and I can definitely say that they're the only gym that is always adding more and more equipment and consistently doing renovations to further improve the gym to satisfy the members and their experience. They're definitely undercharging for memberships and casual entry, in my opinion, the membership shouldn't be any less that $1k per year. So yeah, super happy with this gym, keep up the good work universal team

When it comes to affordability/gym equipment this gym has it all however, the reasoning for my one star review is very simple and important. The culture of the gym and the people specifically the kids that the gym owner allows inside his establishment is horrible! By far the worst gym culture in Melbourne, if you can get past that welcome to unsanitary toilets 24/7 while the cleaners work very hard but again the people there do not care and show no respect or manners to anything or anyone around them. Avoid this place if you want to keep your sanity.

  • Steph Reviews

Don’t sign up to this gym!!! I tried to cancel my membership multiple times over the past year. The girls I spoke to on the phone said no worries we will cancel it for you or we will call you back. No call back and never cancelled it. I have lost so much money because this gym didn’t cancel the membership when said to. I have had to go through my bank to block and stop the payments coming out of my account. Don’t waste ur time signing up to a contract because all they do is steal your money.

  • EKREM CAGALA

Great for intermediate to professional weightlifters to workout and find supplements, gym clothing and sometimes a post workout meal. They offer females only gyming aswel as mixed gym. A boxing ring with a few boxing bags for the Mma/boxing enthusiasts and a whole area designated for cardio workouts. The gym manager is a nice guy who also trains in the gym from time to time and is informative about any info needed.

  • Scorpio

Good value for money. Place is huge. I just wish management could enforce their rules a bit more on cleaning equipment after use and putting weights away. Most of the people that go to this gym have no respect for others so they leave their stuff around after use and the way they park is disgusting. So good gym, unfortunately some people that go there ruin it for everyone else

  • Daureen Levy

Girls section upstairs is insanely well equipped! The only downside is equipments are being used & not put back where they belong. Not only should it commonsense but it is also so dangerous! I don’t seem to see any signs enforcing the girls section to “put weights/equipments back after use”. Or I must be blind if they do

  • Daniel Carroll

Been going there now for 4 years. Simply the best best gym in Melbourne! Staff are great, members friendly, gym equipment and ammenities extremely clean and; there’s so much equipment your workouts can be greatly varied. They stock supplements, drinks, meals, clothing and gym accessories. I cannot fault this gym.

  • Natalie Tsilikas

This gym has everything you need as well as the best meals, variety of pre workout drinks and remain to keep their entry prices low. Best value of money in Melbourne. Separate girls section that you can enter without passing through the main section. Girls section is large and has recently been extended in size.

  • Saumya Gajjar

Really good gym, its not only massive, but everyone is so nice, especially the employees. The boxing ring is also nice for sparring, it makes it really enjoyable. Edit: Sadly they removed the boxing ring a while back, but they do seem to be adding new machines, but still wish the boxing ring was there.

  • Luke Veli

Could be the cheapest gym in the area but no professionalism in their dealings with their customers. I am upset, wont send my daughter again. I would rather pay more money and expect professionalism and understanding especially when I am mislead by one of their staff members.

  • Mou Savi

I like everything about this gym. I hope managment make these things better: 1.treadmills are horrible. Some of them are squicky and some of them are very dangours coz they're not stable 2. Toilet smell 3. Water from water fountain occasionally taste bead

  • Benjamin Veeno

Big gym best range of equipment when working correctly. Toilet smells in cardio area seems like no ventilation duct work exiting the building. They really need new cleaners who know how to clean & use the correct chemicals to disinfectant the areas .

  • Maegajn Embuido

Great gym with a great number of different equipment and machines. Even the women’s gym upstairs is decently equipped. Membership is well worth the money. Usually really packed around evening times though so it will be quite difficult to get parking.

  • Abdullah Sawalhi

The gym is actually nice. There are a lot of machines, including same muscle group and different muscle group. The equipment is quite good but not very new, they do the job though. The daily pass is $5 now and around $300 a year. I

  • Chris Mikha

Great place to train. Large variety of up to date equipment and generally clean. Most wieghts are put away and equipment is regularly serviced. Probably one of the top 3 gyms in the northern suburbs.12 month membership is cheap too.

  • - Nullptr

Love this gym. Plethora of workout equipment ranging from cardio, calisthenics, free weights and fixed machines. The water fountain occasionally tastes very strongly of chlorine and chalk is not allowed at his gym (only downsides).

  • Allen Antony

There isnt alot of parking in front of the gym, but there is plenty on the side road. Lots of equipment, they seem to be doing an upgrade right now. Big plus: Cheap one time entry.

Best gym in Victoria, it puts derimut to shame the people are helpful, the equipment is top of the line panata, and the membership is cheap they also have a good supplement shop
