Avoid - I used to be a fan, now I'm just disappointed!
I have previously done two rounds with Ultimate You and was so happy with the results that I signed up to be an ongoing member. I finished up with them when the location was no longer local for me. A couple of years later and I was excited to be starting up with them again and I signed up for a round that was due to start 20/3. However with the Covid situation, that round didn't go ahead. And yet, I didn't receive anything from Ultimate You to say it was postponed or cancelled. Nothing to try and replace the in-gym experience. In fact, I never ...Read more
even got details for the kick off meeting (which was due to happen just before the government confirmed gym closures). No nutritional plans, nothing! They don't answer their phone, emails, online enquiries or social media messages. After giving them plenty of chances and talking to Consumer Affairs to confirm my rights, I'm left with no option but to take them to VCAT. It's unscrupulous to keep customers money when you haven't provided that service. It's even worse to ignore them. Super disappointing.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Huge scam don’t do it !!!!!
Scammers!!!!!
They will trap you by advertising saying free weight loss challenges. But apparently, you have to pay $500. and they will encourage you that you can loose weight at the first day so that you can pay them $500 but after you paid money, they won’t look at you.
They advertising saying free weight loss challenges, but then you have to pay $500 upfront and when you finish and reach the challenge goal good luck to recover your own money...you won’t get your money back!!!!!
3 months later after reaching the challenge and many emails, phone calls messages still not able to recover the $500 deposit from the Cheltenham centre....the biggest scammers...
I am intending to report them

Lose 9 kilos in 6 weeks for free looks like a scam. I lost around 12 kilos and when I asked for a refund of my deposit, they said that I have two Facebook accounts and must use the other account. It's my personal choice on which account to use for check-in. They didn't mention about the minimum number of friends required in the Facebook account. All that I was told is that you have to have a Facebook account. They are saying that my refund is rejected.
The trainer was really good. He was more supportive and encouraging. He helped me a lot.

Do the challenge but don't sign up for the rest, waste of money
The UY gyms are VERY basic and don't cater for a lot of things / classes that other gyms do. It is the
'one size fits all' approach. Motivational for the six weeks or so that it takes to lose some weight but after that you feel lost and there is hardly any support. I made the mistake to sign up but haven't bothered going back after about 5 times. Obviously that happens to most people as the support falls away and you continue to pay more than twice as much as you would pay anywhere else for a lot less. Waste of money. Big Ra

Beyond disappointed by these criminals.
I’m so so so disappointed. I completed the challenge and they will not refund my money. I’m shocked. They will no longer write back to my emails. Lucky for me my husband is a lawyer so I will be taking This all the way. If anyone needs legal help let me know.

Terrible - Scam
As stated by many here, I completed a successful challenge and met all their terms and conditions, yet 7 months later no refund. I've had to repeatedly email them which then culminated in them giving me a call apologizing for the delay in providing the refund but..... they would be happy to convert the money into a years membership. When I declined they said that the refund would be in my account within 4 working days. 3 weeks later and no refund.
Beyond a joke, went to consumer affairs, sent them a letter and still no response. Next step VCAT!!

Predators
They prey on the vulnerable to lose weight or enter their program. Then if people change their minds they don't honour their promise to give you your money back. They treat their employees terrible and expect them to work all day and night to meet their quotas its highway robbery. I would call the ACCC for false advertising and get the Ombudsman to get in touch with the Neanderthal bogan wannabe CEO to get your money back.

They are running Scam
Just wanted to inform everyone that these guys are running a scam and please do not fall into this.
They say that we get the refund but it is almost 9 months and I haven’t received anything yet. Followed up with them more then 30 times and they even called me once saying that I will get it in 1 week but got nothing.
1) they asked to send the fb check in’s and I provided in same day
2) got mail that refund is approved and will be credited soon.
3) After 30 follow up and 8 months of time they again came back and asked for fb check in’s, provided...Read more

Absolute crap
My partner and I both lost the required weight to get our money back and ultimate you made it near impossible, we fought tooth and nail just to get half back in the end, would not recommend, you lose the weight and they don’t want to honour the deal
Well done for making a current affair, real shame to see we aren’t the only ones who struggled

3 months later and still no refund.
I am extremely disappointed with Ultimate You. I successfully completed the challenge and was advised I would be receiving my refund 3 months ago but despite numerous emails and almost daily phone calls, I have not received my money.
There doesn’t appear to be anybody who is interested in responding to me or helping me to get my money returned, money which belongs to me and I am entitled to given I met all the requirements.
I told staff I needed my refund to help fund a visit to my dad who is sick and that is why I did not re-sign immediately...Read more
, but still not one person has helped me. Be very cautious signing up with Ultimate You. As you can see by my review and many others, there is a common trend of money not being returned at all or unless you spend a significant amount of your time chasing it up.Similar opinion?

Changed my mindset
I've been with UY now for 24 months, previously, due to a back injury I had joined other gyms and was very careful how I approached workouts and weight training, I really didn't get anywhere, during this 24 months I have successfully lost over 11-kilos during the 9 in 6 phase, as well as completed a muscle camp phase, this is due to the trainers, coaches, and other gym members assisting and coaching me through to not just protect my back but strengthen the muscle around the injury. I am 50 this year and have been the fittest I have ever been thanks to UY

I love this gym!
I signed up to complete the 9 in 6 program 18 months ago at Ultimate You Geelong.
They provided a set meal plan based on my initial weight that was easy to follow.
The classes are perfect for all levels of fitness.
Yeah it's hard, yeah it's time consuming but SO WORTH IT. I lost 10.65kg!
The trainers will support you every step of the way to achieve your goals!
They have a full information session explaining the program at the beginning.
They set out the requirements to be eligible for the return of money and in return you essentially get almost personal training and a diet plan.
It really changed my life!

How ultimate you has changed my life.
I discovered Ultimate You North Geelong in October, I had seen friends have great success on their programs and decided it was time for me to invest in myself. I had gained a lot of weight and lost focus and confidence. I was nervous walking in the first time but was met by the most welcoming and supportive team. The trainers were kind, the franchisee the warmest, most kind hearted lady and the other members were all so full of passion and positivity. From day 1 I knew I had found my tribe. I have felt so supported on my journey so far. The gui...Read more
dance to set and achieve my personal goals has been perfect. I have learnt so much already and am so grateful that I took the first step. I would highly recommend anyone who is ready for a change to get involved. It's not just weight loss and nutrition. It's their holistic approach and dedication to helping people reach their full potential that I love. I feel much more confident in myself, I feel better equipped to make positive decisions in my life. Thanks to everyone that has been a part of my journey so far!!Similar opinion?

Learning! Accountability! Motivation! Results!
Ultimate You has continuously provided me with everything I need to achieve my fitness and weight loss goals. Everything from a comprehensive nutrition and meal plan to workout guides with instructional videos... and even mindset coaching.... I personally completed the Muscle Camp Phase 1 and 2 and had amazing results to show for my efforts! The trainers at UY North Geelong are always there for me when I need help or have lost the motivation to continue my workout plan. They have promoted my success with positive accountability and have encoura...Read more
ged me to go above and beyond! The wide variety of group classes keep working out fresh and exciting; working out doesn’t seem so scary when everyone around you is trying to achieve a similar goal. If you are willing to put the time and effort into really making a lifestyle change..... if you want to be successful... Then UY is the way to go!Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!
Awesome gym, supportive environment, helped me to achieve 18 kilo weight loss
I began at UY North Geelong in May 2018, have completed two 9in6 challenges and have been a member ever since. Total weight loss to date 17.75 kilos. Love the culture and the people within the four walls of this gym. No macho men, no barbie dolls, just real people achieving real results. Thanks to all the Crew at UY for helping me to make a better version of myself. Give it a try, what else have you got to lose aside all the extra kilos ??

this program is not for those who are not ready to embrace a challenge and accept that to achieve great things you will need to put in some effort and self control. that being said the staff and other patrons 100% support your personal goals. there is no judgement. there is no pressure to be anyone other than yourself and the environment this creates is a place to face your fears and get through that 45 min HIIT class, knowing that the people around you are all experiencing the same food and exercise challenges you are. the community extend bey...Read more
ond 6 weeks and I lost over 20kg in 6 months and kept this weight off for a further 12. UY North Geelong didn't just help me loose weight though it gave me the confidence to try new sports, chase new work goals and develop new relationships. I highly recommend this program for those ready to embrace the uncomfortable reality of diet and exercise to achieve goals. I have no issue with the money I have paid to UY, and found the information on tbe program and payments to be clear and up front.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Steal your money
I joined the 9in6, did the work and lost the weight. No thanks to this gym, never spoke to me once. Didn’t clarify the rules when I asked (after class they’d say).
Been five months and haven’t given me my money back. I email once a month and they tell it’s being processed. End with “love and high fives” which I don’t want, I’d much prefer my money back.

Seems to be the same everywhere as it’s all done through their head office. Write to channel 7 how bad they are. See if they are still happy to put a show on with them.
Yes its a real shame - I have had an issue where I referred someone (they have kept the clients monies) there is no challenge and the gym is closed - and STILL they will not even give me the $100 referral fee !!!!!!!!!!!

To be honest
I can tell you now you will not get your money back. There is no way they will return your money it’s a scam
I'm going to follow the matter with Consumers Australia. Anybody wants to join me to do an action is welcomed.

I've heard that from more people. It's virtually impossible as they come up with all kind of excuses all the time. I had the same issue but eventually they refunded when I got really upset about it. Good luck with your action.
