Great gym, friendly supportive staff
Machines new clean and a great layout
Sauna, ice bath, compression services and a all in 1 supp shop is great.

Only - is no boxing bag corner

Great gym

This gym is a place I look forward to first thing in the morning because over the period of 2 years training here, I've not only transformed my training lifestyle for the better but also helped developed my social speaking abilities through their natural community culture. The value you get out of the gym is so much more than just the BIG BOX gym with so much equipment, weights and machines.

A place to meet like minded people who want to better themselves and better each other. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to start out on a new journey or those wanting to step up their training to the next level.

Large variety of equipment but that's about the only good thing.
The gym smells a lot of the time. Male toilets are always disgusting, broken and barely have hand towels and soap. Machines are always broken - lack of care by staff and the lack of respect for the equipment by the patrons. Bad ventilation and even worse with renovations going on. Air con is either full pelt or not on at all. Staff are deadpan and have zero personality but they're getting there with the new owners onboard. Weights are never in the right spot, and you'll spend most of your time trying to find the other dumbbell which is off on the other side of the gym. Constant rave music blasted so loud I can't hear what i'm playing through my headphones. Zero enforcement of towels in the gym and patrons are nothing to write home about unless you're from the area like them. A few good eggs, but it's mostly a rotten carton.
I'm nervous for the day that saunas and other cesspool elements get put in.
Hopefully the new owners can turn it around, but with the area and the people that go to this gym... Unlikely

The music they play here is awful—lots of inappropriate, overly sexual lyrics and constant profanity. But the worst part is how loud it is. It’s blasting throughout the entire gym, so loud that wearing headphones is pointless.
Also the workers have to be some of the unfriendliest gym employees I’ve ever come across. They have no care in the world about you.
They a large variety of equipment which is good and a constantly supply of disinfectant wipes.
However, it’s always hot there and feels sweaty and humid even in winter.

when i initially signed up, this place was awesome. there were next to no issues, but as time went on i saw that a combination of patrons and staff were contributing to the gradual and steady decline of this place.

a few years back, i came to find that almost all of the plates were in a loose pile jammed behind one of the leg press machines. after that, there wasn't much, and i thought all was well.

i was, unfortunately, very wrong.

the plate issue happened again, but like last time, i just picked them up and put them where they belong, did my workout and left a reasonable stack on the machine before moving on.

the plates continued to be a mess, and then the dumbbell racks followed suit. finding giant, empty spots in the racks, dumbbells rarely being in their correct places, and having to go on a scavenger hunt to find a matching pair, let alone three progressing pairs (e.g. 2x15kg, 2x17.5kg, 2x20g). this has been a consistent problem, including while under the new management.

another problem is the music being set so loud you can't hear yourself think, and even with your own headphones on it would still be clearly audible. i don't care what music you play here, but the only other place that endeavours to play music this loud would be the 'interrogation' rooms at guantanamo bay. you're left with a choice between ear damage from the abysmal crap they play, or ear damge with a futile attempt to drown it out with your own headphones.

third, is the aircon blasting full ball at all hours; there is nothing more annoying than trying to lift something heavy (heavy for me at the very least) with a gale force wind blowing directly at you. if i wanted to work out with the wind freezing me to death, i would do pushups naked in siberia, not do bench press at 3am in marconi gym.

lastly, is the most recent flavour of hell that has overcome this once-renowned establishment: moving the machines around so frequently that you have to refamiliarise yourself with the locations of the equipment that you spent half of the workout locating, just one night ago. i don't pay for a procedurally-generated gym. pick a spot, put the machine there, and leave it alone!

i am glad i made the decision to pay for the gold membership, so now i can go to any one of the other world gyms that adheres to order, logic, and reality.

this gym has become awful, and you should feel awful.

This gym is probably the goats of the gyms in Sydney.

tho it’s always hot inside.
The gym smells like wet dog constantly.

The flooring stinks and needs to be replaced.

The toilets are putrid and stink ALWAYS.

the hand dryer does not work on the wall.

the paper towels are always finished.

For an indoor gym the place is highly moist constantly there is no fresh air into the gym it makes it a very high bacterial place.

The air condition leaks every time it rains.

These things need to be addressed immediately

This gym has been nothing but amazing to me for the last 3 years, the workers are great to talk to and genuinely care about you.

The equipment supersedes any other gym that I have trained and and the environment is phenomenal. Even in its worst times you can always trust that the team and the owner have the members best interests at mind.

It's great to see a business where the owner is still heavily invested and still cares even after the gym being successful. At times there is a significant amount of people training and it can be tough to get a machine but most members are always open to working on the same machine together.
