Glad we didn't sign up. Terrible front desk service at Essendon gym.
I bought my son a temporary membership allowing him a set number of visits the gym. Went in and asked about a simple program for him, as he'd never worked out in a gym before. The guy at the front desk could not have been less interested or more arrogant and mumbled something about personal trainers and extra costs. It seems we interrupted his social media pursuits.
It won't be long before someone injures themselves on one of their machines and lazy staff who can't be bothered to show new members how to use them will be to blame. It's staggering to think a business that suffered this much during lockdowns would treat new customers this way. Never again!
Atrocious
Good luck if you want to terminate your membership. They will be rude and make things as difficult for you. Loyalty does not matter. Don’t be fooled by the 14 days notice period. If you give notice a day after your billing day (which means you’ve already paid 2 weeks in advance), they will still FORCE you to pay another final payment so you will end up having to give 27/28 days notice. Unreasonable and rude bunch of people.
Ridiculous policies when quitting
After relocating to South Melbourne, I could no longer attend the Burwood East gym. I was advised that I would need to pay $5 per visit to attend the South Melbourne gym. Otherwise I would need to quit and re-sign in South Melbourne. You cannot quit via email or phone however - you need to waste time going out there to do it in person. This is just a scam to make it difficult for you to cancel your membership. Not impressed in the slightest.
All they care about is making money.
All they care about is making money. This gym has no idea how to retain loyal customer and all they want to do is charge and or increase their fee. They have charged me ridiculous dishonour fee of 14.80 and because I'v
now moved to a month to month contract I have to pay a $20 dollar activation fee every time if my contract runs out. Gonna stick to Anytime fitness next door. Much better \ cleaner facility and im sure they will look after their customers. I have asked the manager to waived the $20 charge but said "NO" . Sad as i have been a customer over a year .So much for being a regular.

Pathetic Service and Charges
Regarding payments, if it’s auto debit, the text is not in time for us to make the payment as they unnecessarily charge $15 extra while they say you call and make the payment after the text. And to cancel the contract, you have to pay the entire amount. Text messages are delayed so make sure you remember the exact dates and don’t rely on their text of auto debit. Also some equipment’s are out of service most of the times. I regret taking the membership.
Bad management
This place is horrible not enjoyable at all equipment is very old and the crèche is TERRIBLE. My son was shoved in the corner in the pram with the hood down fully awake and the management did nothing but ignore the situation.
Bad service
Just generally bad service and not very friendly at the Hampton gym. The classes are too packed and the price is expensive for what you get.
Bad mangemnt
Direct debit mistakes, three different amounts messaged owed money.Double dipped into account twice,from two different accounts.Want to charge late fees for their mistakes. Disappointed will cancel membership
Cancellation Process
Totally rubbish they make you come into the gym to cancel your registration, it is in their "Terms of Condition", my reason for cancelling was I lived too far away. They threaten debt collectors at the drop of a hat if you suggest just cancelling your credit card. Just a bunch of money grabbing thugs.

They are just making fool dont doing good i suggest never be the member of this gym
They are using bad language dont have mannera to talk with costumers

Worst Service!
Some good points like new machines but doesn't make up for terrible staff. The trainers seem pretty ordinary and sometimes give out some bad advice. The overall service is the worst part. Very rude, sleazy and arrogant trainers. Worst customer service in Melbourne!!
Great Gym and facilities
Iv'e recently joined the Keysborough Re-Creation, and am very impressed with the large amount of equipment they have to offer for the price I'm paying. The club is very clean compared to other gyms I've been too, and also looks very well maintained. The team seem to be very friendly and helpful and I am always greeted with a 'Hi' and "Bye'. My only negative, is that I wish other users would put the weights away after themselves, but this can't be put on the gym for others poor etiquette!!

Burwood - dirty and poorly maintained. Not a win/win but all about profit - here are the cons and pr
Cons
- Limited amount of weight training equipment (e.g. one smith machine/ one free weight leg press). Operates 24 hours to spread the load from too many members/too little equipment.
- No locks on the women’s toilet doors for more than a month. Hello, what privacy?
- Poor maintenance. Many of the seat/pad cushions are covered in a protective plastic covering, but the plastic layer AND the vinyl covering underneath are completely worn through to the threads on about 30% of the equipment.
- Most things that go out of action (as everything
Embarrassed
I joined Re-creation gym in March of this year when I moved into the Keysborough area. All was ok until I had a problem with internet fraud on my bank account and had to change my payment details. I rang the club and I had not once been contacted by the gym to say there was provided them with the new details to be told if there were any problems I would be contacted. I then went away for three weeks. When I returned I had an email from a debt collection agency asking me to pay $492 to the gym for cancellation of membership. I had not once been
... Read morecontacted by the gym to say there was a problem with my payment it was just put into the hand of a debt collector and only after two payments had not gone through. I feel humiliated by this and will never step foot in the gym again even if my payments are continued.Pathetic go join a better gym don't waste your time
Childcare facility closing so how are u meant to keep fit if u have children. Not enough equipment always have to wait. Bathrooms are filthy, toilets aren't cleaned, benches are full of hair. No one uses towels at gym. Hardly any personal trainers as management don't know how to run a gym.
Questions & Answers
I was thinking of joining Re-Creation Health Club, Point Cook, but just noticed this club listed with status of ‘In Liquidation’. If they cease to carry on their business, how come still accepting new member account?
I was a member in Burwood. I know nothing about Point Cook.
