This isn’t a bad gym, despite many 1 star reviews, most of which don’t seem to understand how a contract works. I would say it is pretty average, hence the 3 stars. I wish there were certain machines, e.g., a stair master which my previous gyms all offered, and the showers aren’t the cleanest (definitely need to review the frequency of cleans/change cleaning companies). The building itself and facilities are quite dated as well. However, being a 24/7 gym this certainly suits those with a busy schedule and being a women’s only gym, I am a lot more comfortable here. I can’t say much about the staff as I typically attend after hours, however, there was a lovely girl who assisted me with signing up. Further, they sometimes give clients free protein bars etc. to sample, which is nice. The website mentions that breakfast is included, however, this is not the case and I was pretty disappointed by. Apparently this is due to COVID? Perhaps updating the website is in order… Happy to discuss further! Just an honest review
If you’re looking for classes for Pilates don’t bother here. You’ll be fighting literally every morning when the app class booking opens to book a class as they are in such a high demand, the earlier classes at 5.30 especially, and not enough space at this gym to accommodate people wanting to do the Pilates classes. 11 people per class max. Very stressful and frustrating. You will miss out on multiple classes even though you pay membership.They need a new venue with at least double the capacity of reformers, split in two with two instructors. Or a solution to expand the reformer room and add double the amount, especially for early afternoon classes.The more people that join up, the more we will all miss out on having a spot in the classes.I have also spoken to a few members that advised they have been asking for earlier classes in the afternoon but management don’t seem to do anything. Same stressful chaos for the morning classes. They don’t listen to what members want. I find this dismissive attitude very poor. They charge enough in ridiculous high fees, so I’d like to see them pay for more instructors and additional afternoon classes.Also don’t bother calling, you’ll never get through, it just gets diverted as there is a mobile number up on Google page and not the studio number, no idea why.Rudest owner and bad management, chaotic and not managed properly. Just look at the owners replies on here and you’ll see.That’s my honest review if you’re interested in the Pilates side of things, the more that join, the less classes you will get into, especially as the demand will go up in summer, and it’s already a show, every time I’ve been there, the gym is dead so there’s no issue with the actual gym.My honest review. Since management won’t listen, I’ll share my honest experience with who ever is thinking of joining.About $200 to join, once you join NO getting out easy!! $50 if you do not go ahead in your 48 hour cooling period, which I’ve never heard of and is absolutely ridiculous. $75 if you need time off because you are injured or sick!! If you need to freeze your membership you need to pay $5 per week every week!! I’ve never heard of another gym charging this! $100 if you want to transfer your membership to someone else.This is just an approximate indication of the ridiculous fees they charge. I’ve never seen a gym charge for so many different fees.Not a good gym overall.
I've been with this gym for about 14 years now - not bad for someone who avoided going to the gym because they felt self-conscious! I love working out in a female only gym that allows me to always feel welcomed , safe and never judged. Enjoy it so much, that both my daughters work out with me at Fernwood Rockdale too! A gym for women of all ages and all fitness levels.
My experience aligns with the numerous other negative reviews of this gym. Also, note the passive aggressive tone of the responses from the gym to the reviews; in private, this translates to bitter passive aggression/just plain aggression. They showed a complete lack of empathy, understanding, flexibility or agility in product and we’re happy to take my money for never actually setting foot in the gym. They made significant mistakes in their administration and took little to no responsibility. I’ve been to many gyms throughout my life and understand how contacts work but this gym, have left the most revolting after taste in my memory. Enough to be bothered to come here and write this. Yuck.
I've been a member for a month now & I'm incredibly glad I joined. The reception staff are always very kind & friendly to me and the trainers are spectacular. Kat is amazing, always getting you to go a little longer or harder than you think you're capable of to help you achieve the results you want. Magda concentrates on getting techniques correct so you can increase your weights as you go. The gym has women of all ages & all fitness levels. I was initially very hesitant to use the weight machines but after doing the "on boarding" class I now feel confident using them all by myself. There's a real sense of comradery in the gym, everyone is supportive of one another. The creche ladies are lovely & I feel safe leaving my child in their care. Fernwood is very considerate of the local community & are having extra classes at night for the duration of Ramadan. Come give them a try & see for yourself.
