    Back in the day you could get a 12-month membership for $199

    Definitely a good price for gym, albeit Derri is known to attract a particular crowd and isn't as friendly.

    Noticing that a lot of gyms have become more of a Health Club to justify all these extra sign up costs and the usual $(X) per fortnight each year where it now pushes it to more than $2 a day

          What's wrong with that? Most of the Derrimut locations started off as a body building gym. Been there for years and years and have had zero dramas.

          The biggest issue with Derri these days are the literal crowds. Gets absolutely packed after 5pm on weekdays.

        It's not about wanting to find friends / life partner.
        You want to be in a gym that has a welcoming environment and people that actually care about the equipment and cleanliness.
        I've got friends that don't like to go to particular gyms because they are often glared / stared at while they're working out, stories of them being followed around pieces of equipment too…

  • WeePaulie on 12/04/2021 - 23:12

    Anyone know if the membership starts when you buy it or when you go in do you activate it?

    Edit: Found in the t&c

    For all online memberships purchased through Derrimut’s website, the membership will effectively begin at the time the online transaction has
    been successfully completed and received by Derrimut Gym.

    I'll wait until I know I'm going in to buy it

    • Jonathankira on 12/04/2021 - 23:27

      starts on the day you go to the gym. If you sign up online show your invoice and they will process it and give you your gym card.(is small and attaches to a keychain)

      • Miss B on 12/04/2021 - 23:29

      Another thing found in the Terms and Conditions with discounted memberships you can't suspend or transfer the membership (you can if you pay full price for an upfront membership). Still good value I think, just worth knowing.

  • [Deactivated] on 12/04/2021 - 23:28

    I paid $299 last year, which included the admin fee.

    It's always up and down, the issue is it depends when your membership runs out!

      • TightTerry on 13/04/2021 - 11:43

        • dasher86 on 13/04/2021 - 12:46

          Derrimut sunshine ~10-11km from Melbourne so on the fringe of the 10km zone more people count as inner city.

          • TightTerry on 13/04/2021 - 13:03

            @dasher86: So yeah even by 10km there are none inner city. Sunshine is not inner city Melbourne

        10 km I think is a max limit to say inner city. Anything further I would say is not inner city. I live in hawthorn and there is no derrimut even close to me on this side of town. It's a shame because the generic cookie cutter gyms like fitness first etc are just crowded overpriced hangout spots these days

    BEWARE

    Since the offer is for new and expired customers, they are clearly aiming at people with good intentions and little motivation.
    Based on personal experience I would strongly recommend you sign up somewhere for 1-2 months only at first, and you see how often you actually go there.
    Gyms make their money not with people who come regularly, but with people who sign up for a long term and stop coming after 2-3 times. That's why they will give you amazing deals when you sign up for long term - they have little other reason to ask for such a long subscription duration.

    • dasher86 on 13/04/2021 - 10:20

      heaps of gyms that charge ~$15-$20 require a 12 month contract - so not really much difference.

    • Miss B on 13/04/2021 - 12:59
      +2

      Yep, there's no other point in my life when I'd have signed up for a one year membership. I've been exercising nearly every day for the last few months and have actually been enjoying it.

      It will be good to have somewhere indoors for winter and where I can use the equipment for toning. Currently doing the couch to 5k and it will also be handy being able to set a speed on the treadmill so I can make sure I'm actually doing 5k when I run for 30mins.

      I've also already been having issues with it becoming dark for too much of the day. Looking forward to taking advantage of the offer for the next year. I'll likely be there at the quieter times of day, so it's a win for me and them really.

      • taker312 on 13/04/2021 - 13:24

        • Miss B on 13/04/2021 - 18:57
          +1

          No, I can set the speed so I know how fast I'm actually going. I don't have any reliable measure when I'm running in the wild.

            @Miss B: Do you have a lake or track in your area? Surely you have something that you are familiar of the distance? If you are not i dunno look it up or ask someone. Then all you need is a stop watch alternatively buy a smart watch. I actually can't believe i have to explain this. Do you think running started when treadmills were invented

            • Miss B on 14/04/2021 - 06:39
              +1

              @PAOK11: There's a track I use, I've tried looking up the distance, can't find it. It's not a great track for its actual purpose so I don't think people actually use it for that so it hasn't got the distance anywhere it's mentioned even though others do. It works very well for all of the activities I do and is quiet though.

              There are other tracks but they're too busy, I've tried different times of day and they're always crowded, and most don't have a surface I like, so I haven't bothered to check if they have the distance. I am fat and unfit, so running is difficult enough without stuffing around with stop watches anyway.

              I use a smart watch, but it doesn't provide reliable data about my speed and will only give the info including the walking parts. There are 2 apps that give very different results and neither seems to be reliable. I just thought if I was already going to be at the gym on a treadmill I could use it to easily see what speed I can run at.

              You're right though, I'm clearly very stupid, thank you so much for pointing that out.

              • PAOK11 on 14/04/2021 - 08:44
                -3

                @Miss B: Dont be so hard on yourself, your only fat not stupid. My next thing is why are you obsessed with your speed. I can tell you that your speed is between 8kmph and 9kmph without even seeing you.

                No matter how bad your smartwatch is, it will have the basic functionality of working as a stop watch. I do recommend a garmin but you can live without it. I did for a long time.

                I also recommend you do short sprints. Set up a few cones and run back and forth between them getting faster and faster each time.

                What im getting at is knowing your speed is not necessarily going to help you get faster.

                • Miss B on 14/04/2021 - 09:52

                  @PAOK11: It's not an obsession, I just want to check in. C25K is based on 30min being 5k, which is not realistic for me, at least not for a while.

                  It's fine, I don't need to run at a particular speed it's just useful to know, being able to run 5k at some point and eventually 10k is my main goal at the moment (for running), even if I can't do it in 30/60 mins, but it means the C25K/10K apps won't actually get me there, which is really what I wanted to know.

                  I might also do some park runs to get times so someone else can measure the distance and hold the stop watch for me, even though it means being around other people. Other people doing the same run should motivate me to go faster, as well as trying to beat my own times.

                  It's all really just about having something to aim for and pushing myself a bit further all the time, none of it has any particular importance.

                  @Autonomic: Thank you, good to know. I've been using the free version of Strava and finding it to be pretty good and accurate enough for my purposes. I've also been enjoying the stats it gives. There's also an option to automatically pause when you stop running if you're doing a run, though I haven't actually tested it. I've also recorded as I walked around tracks I like to use purely to get their distances.

  • badmitz on 13/04/2021 - 10:08

    Even with the joining fee this is still a very cheap price for a gym that has a tremendous amount of gear, of top of that there's boxing and pick up basketball games at certain locations.

    I would say however it does attract a much younger and cooler crowd, the gym gets incredibly busy to the point you feel like you're walking through a large sweaty shopping centre at times with all the people involved. I've been casually at $10.00 and couldn't commit to anything longer because it just felt like a massive club, the music they play and volume at which they play it is definitely make music festivals proud.

    I went a few times to Derrimut as a casual and was surprised to see Kai Greene rock up and doing calves on the next machine… and nobody was bothering him or coming up to him, just let him work out. Pretty respectful crowd tbh, though on first looks it may seem daunting, but everyone is keen to get along.

  • emeraldpiggy on 13/04/2021 - 12:11

  • syme321 on 13/04/2021 - 13:12

    That's insanely cheap esp with Les Mills group fitness classes included. Given how hard gyms were hit last year, esp in Vic where they had no income for 7 months and have no doubt many have accumulated a deferred rent debt, I'd be a little worried that this is a last ditch cash grab for cash flow because they're in trouble.

    I used to go the Caroline Springs VIC branch. The gym is huge! All the equipment, boxing ring etc plus they renovate and change things up as well over the years.
    They run similar promo every year, even @$400 per year is really great value.

    However the gym isn't for me, peak times it's really crowded, you have to park on the street or next door at Bunnings. Because of its low membership cost you generally have a younger crowd and many of them in groups. I havent encountered any trouble in the past but it doesn't feel very welcoming if you are a solo trainer. If you are disciplined then probably ok.

    In the same area there are many other gyms crossfit f45 style gyms but they charge $40-60 per week….

    • N21212 on 13/04/2021 - 20:41

      Why don't you go to the gym in Derrimut? It's 5 mins from CS gym, smaller, and less intense environment.

  • luneleaves on 13/04/2021 - 20:10

    For any Brisbane folk here, the Derrimut gym in Macgregor is the old Anytime Fitness on Kessels Road.

    Not the fanciest joint but it was pretty decently spaced out and had high ceilings so it never felt too cramped even when it was busy. Good selection of equipment too, had more than the average Anytime Fitness.

  • CheapBrah on 14/04/2021 - 00:30

    Good gym though seems to be a lot less equipment post lockdown the couple of times I went. I guess they sold it all off when there was a gym equipment shortage and they were closed (makes sense). Presumably they are replacing them with new stuff but I haven't been there the last couple of months so not sure.

    For those worried they're about to go under due to rent debt, I remember they actually bought their flagship Caroline Springs location not too long after opening it years ago (and that building is worth a lot these days). No idea if they own just that one, but none the less they have more assets than many other gyms going around (given most are just franchises).
