Over crowded Pilates.

published

Room overcrowded with reformers. Too many people for an effective or safe class. You hit other people during the class and almost trip when walking in. Instructor gives minimal and non descriptive instruction.

Zen environment with great pilates

published

I’ve been a member of a number of gyms over the years and this is by far the best. I find the staff polite and helpful. I had to stop my membership due to financial reasons and they explained I could rejoin within 2 years and keep the same rate with no cancellation or renewal fees. Yes Pilates classes can be busy but generally as long as you get there 15 minutes before you get a place. Bathrooms are much nicer after recent renovations.
I find the instructors knowledgeable and attentive. The gym is small but this place is known for its Pilates and yoga. If you want a large gym go to one of the chains.

EXTREMELY RUDE NEW STAFF!!!!!

published

I’ve been going to Elixr for a couple of months now and when I joined I was underage so I went with my mum. Now I’m of age and when I told the staff they didn’t believe me nor my mum and told me I wasn’t allowed in. I get that the girls are new but they need to respect and believe customers rather then not let them!!! HOW DISRESPECTFUL I might stop going

EXPENSIVE for value; RUDE staff; go elsewhere

published

No space to train on your own.
Group Reformer Pilates very popular and hard to get into at busy times.
Some very poor instructors in other disciplines like spin, Zumba, boxing.
Staff are INCREDIBLY rude, unhelpful and poorly trained: didn't get an orientation session, intro, follow-up, no other interaction than a basic swipe in with my pass.
No efforts to ensure you are getting the most from your membership like benefits of trainer, check-in on their services etc.
You will not be a valued customer and it is AN EXPENSIVE service.

Complete scam

published

They do not tell you if something will be additional money. Be very careful before signing up, as it is very difficult to get out of your membership without having to pay a large sum.

Not much equipment or variety. Little space for you to do your own workout.

Employees not very friendly.

Member for 10 years

published

I have been a member of Elix'r for 10 years. I have been very happy with the yoga teachers and pilates teachers there and the reason I stay is because of this. In terms of the management, I have never had a problem myself and I have always found them to be reasonably accommodating given the various situations. I also think it is worth noting that many instructors are long-time teachers at Elix'r as are many of the members (like me). This speaks well of the management and quality overall. That said, if I were looking to join a new club I would probably not join this one. The fees for new members are high and I find that the timetable isn't broad enough compared to other places and what they offer.

Have continued to debit my account even though the guy who signed me up told me "I would have to renew".

Rude instructors not good for beginners

published

I was a member here for the reformed Pilates and boxing classes for some time. As I had always wanted to give yoga a go I decided to join a class one day. As I struggled a little with the poses (this was my first time ever doing yoga) the instructor name and shamed me infront of the entire class, I was so embarrassed when I told her it was my first time she responded very loud " what am I supposed to be a mind reader." I never did yoga again after this experience and stopped going to this gym even though my Membership was still being paid for. Very disgusted at the bad treatment to anyone beginning their fitness journey. I would not recommend this gym, the high price and unprofessional staff, not worth it.

Not very Zen - Tricky T&C's

published

Careful of the rushed membership induction. The club will make out like they have explained everything to you but then sting you with ambiguous clauses in their T&C's. I asked for a 7 day trial but then before I knew it was signing a membership in a rushed induction. When I asked about a cooling off period i was told 'the only charge would be a $66 admin fee'. After two visits and being put off by the hygiene and poor service I cancelled. To add insult to injury I was told I would be charged for these two disastrous visits. There are many updated progressive and customer focused gyms in Sydney, don't waste your time with this polar end opposite 'NMF'

Member for years, still loving it

published

I've been doing pilates reformer at Elixr over the past 10 years. The teachers are dynamic and motivating and the classes always challenging. I absolutely love it. My body feels strong. I go three times per week, so it's great value for money. Highly recommended.

50% cancellation Fee PLUS Administration fee

published

What a joke.

The gym is full to the brim. Barely able to find a machine or a place to sit. Stressful just to go inside and they keep signing up new people.

The toilet is not always clean and almost always smells awful. When do they get cleaners?!

Management are an unresponsive joke. Then they have the audacity to charge you a 50% cancellation fee AND add an administration fee.

This company should be closed down and the management put on the street.

Stole Money From My Account

published

After 2 years of paying their fees, needed time out as not much work arm and can't afford to pay and they knew I will start again once I get work. They still took money out of my account without permission and won't refund it instead of calling me and letting me know that fees are coming out, they just took it knowing I told them I call them when I get work then the current manager hanged up in my face, poor costumer service and the big boss is always away ripped off.

Appalling customer service outweighs any positives

published

Do not set up direct debiting from your bank account. Elixr will milk it.

Read membership suspension and termination clauses very carefully. They make it costly to leave. Even a suspended membership incurs charges.

Do not expect to be treated as a valued customer. Complaints are dealt with dismissively, offhandedly.

Awful, lock you in contracts with no interest in the outcome or members

published

Hated the whole experience. Some classes were ok but none of the yoga teachers were great. Pilates teaching much better. Also there is no escaping from the extremely long contract they lock you in on - they don't care if you're getting anything from your training or not like other gyms they just want the money from irregular members. My impression is that they're quite happy to have lower attendance as they get so packed around work hours its impossible to move.

No flexibility, unhelpful management threatening debt collectors if you try and leave

Facilities good, management terrible.

published

I signed a six month contract to join, with the fees direct debited from my bank account. I decided not to renew as I was going overseas, and was shocked to find they were still debiting my bank account at end of six months. Called them, to find that the contract apparently means nothing; one month notice has to be given before they will end it. Of course it is in the fine print, so I have no redress. I am feeling conned; if they really care, as they claim, they could notify clients at the end of their contracts and warn them to give notice, but of course they only really care about getting your money.

Worst gym and management ever!!!!

Do not join this gym

published

The most over priced gym! Full of rude clients and staff and good luck trying to cancel your membership they will take every last penny from you!
They could care less about your fitness they only want your money!
If you are joining for yoga or Pilates go else where there are plenty of other places you can go without being locked into contracts that are impossible to get out of!

Expensive, rude people
