It’s bigger than most gyms in the area. I free weights, cable machines, cardio and workout areas. The lockers are small, and you can’t bring your own padlock as they have their own locking mechanism requiring payment to use. Showers have good water pressure and can run real hot. Overall it is a good gym for what you’ll need.

Gym and cardio: Great free weights section with 12ish power racks and all the weight you could require. They have 1.25-25kg plates and enough room for oly and powerlifts. They have plenty of generic barbells(20kg) plus a deadlift bar, a 15kg barbell, a 25kg squat barbell, EZ barbells, safety squat, football bar and a few trap bars. They have all that you could need for mobility. They provide chalk tubs that are always filled up with a sizeable block. The most useful part of the gym (free weights) has AC but it isn't needed anywhere else because there's plenty of fans and nice cross breezes.They have heaps of machines too. They have plenty of benches and dumbells up to 60kg. They have an adjustable dip station, weighted belts and a few adjustable chinup bars😀! They have one incline bench, two decline multiple generic benches and 4 flat benches. They have 4 leg presses and something quite rare in a gym these days: seal row/high bench rowing bench. Plus most normal pieces of gym eequipment e.g smith, leg ext, curl machine, lat pulldown, assisted chinups/dips, cables, tbar, ghr, glute bridge stations (free weight and machine assisted), preacher benches, abdu tor machine, calf raises, boxes, bands, ab wheels, mats etc...Plenty of cardio machines but I would rather go outside for that haha.All in all 5 stars and much better than your average commercial gym. PS. They recently opened up the elite athlete academy rooms to the general gym members.

Facilities are good but their Gold membership has become terrible. I joined in 2018 and there were dozens of group fitness class options. Now there's a significantly smaller selection that run far less often. The tennis centre is closed during prime usage period over holidays for resurfacing. Prior to this membership usage hours were cut by more than half. The gym was also closed for painting during prime period. The pool also closed. No offer of discount or anything. Paying full price membership when you can't even use facilities.

They have platform where you can do Olympic lifts, they have bands for you to stretch and do assisted pull ups. Gym is in 3 floors which the top floor has a lot of cardio machines including stairmasters, rowing machine, elliptical, treadmill and stationary bike. The price they charge is pretty fair and you can opt to only pay for things that you need. Recommend this gym if you come to campus often or you live around the area

The facilities and equipment are always clean and in good condition. The classes are excellent with a wide variety available at convenient times. All the staff are friendly and helpful. The instructors are fantastic, and make every class worth attending. It has a nice community vibe, and is an overall great gym.

UQ has by far the best free-weights section of the 12+ gym's I've been to in the past 3 years, it really couldn't be more perfect - weightlifting platforms and squat racks for daysss. The trainers are incredibly friendly and always willing to help out with their top-notch advice. Come here during off peak times for an absolute screamer of a workout in a clean, well equipped gym.

I would like to take a moment to write a brief review for UQ Sport Fitness Centre. As a fitness fanatic, UQ gym has meant a lot to me. Started from 2014, a freshman until now 2017, 3 years later, everything from the friendly staff, the clean and safe venue to the modern equipment have always been excellent and exceeded my expectation. In addition, every time you renew your membership and every 6 weeks after that, you have access to 1 hour of free personal training session where you have the decision to select the trainer and the time that suits you. Furthermore, old torn equipment are regularly replaced to maximize gym goers' satisfaction, safety and workout. Finally, unlike other commercial gym, there are appropriate weight lifting platform where dropping weights are appropriate and screaming as you lift is encourage 🙂
