Gym Recommendations for Sydney CBD - Classes, Cardio, Decent Price

CheapskateQueen on 12/02/2016 - 13:48

Hi,

I'm moving back to the city offices for work and need gym recommendations that are good but aren't too expensive.

I'll be located, let's say, at the intersection of George St and Liverpool St, so want something within 5-10 min walk.

I'm mostly focused on classes because I'm too cheap for a PT (or too poor) and cardio.

I don't need access to gyms in other locations (i.e. all access) because on weekends I'd rather be outdoors.

I never used to go to the gym, just used to go for runs which i loved. Then i joined a gym, went hard, had no results, but lost my ability to run. lol. Such is life.

I used to pay $15 a week. I know I won't get that in the city but I don't really wanna be paying $25 pw. (or am i dreaming?)

    Anytime fitness is $15 a week, and the ones in the city have classes

      Does that include classes or limited to gym access only? I just know that they usually offer classes as optional extra. What about joining fee is that extra too?

        I didnt pay a joining fee, just $65 for the key thing and $15 a week. They usually have offers with no joining fee or will waive it if you say you are looking at competitors, there's a fair bit of discretion i think. The $15 a week at Anytime Circular Quay includes classes, and i believe the other CBD ones are the same.

      Tell us a Anytine Fitness in the city where it's $15 per week. You won' find it.

          Do you think you can get me that same price?

          …and so you'll have $5 off your membership.

          @inose: I think the $5 off thing was only for last Wednesday. Give the club a call or go in there and ask what's available, tell them you have a "friend" who pays $15 a week and no joining fee and you were hoping for the same.

          Could always sign up for the free 7 day trial while you are there.

          If they don't budge let me know and I can try and help you :)

          @meowmeowmeow:

          Thanks will do.

          Last week, their special came down to about $67 per month on a 12 or 18 months contract. I asked if there was any way to bring to down, they said no. :/

        • meowmeowmeow on 15/02/2016 - 10:51

          @inose: $15 a week gets charged as $65 a month. If they offer you the $67 option and won't budge you might as well take it, for the sake of $2 a month it might not be worth arguing. Might as well try for the $65 a month first though.

    that's a darn good price if there's classes. Can't see anything on their website about classes but I'll definitely check them out. thanks for the recommendation

    If you can stretch to $27/week - Living Well @ sydney hilton. High end gym - includes everything, towels, toiletries, etc

    If you want the cheapest possible, look on gumtree for someone selling a gym membership … always a few available and you can normally beat them down on price, because they're desperate to sell.

    If you have a Flybuys account (free to join) you can get a 12 month special from GoodLife which recently opened up in Martin Place, down to $17.95, down from $20.95 (a week).
