I went to Fernwood to do a trial and I have never felt more uncomfortable. My friend and I did a small session then decided it wasnt the right gym for us due to a small range of equipment for body building, once leaving the lady asked us how we went and we said it wasn’t the gym for us and went to leave. She told us we had to stay seated until the manager could talk to us, after 10 minutes of waiting the manager came over and started pitching us plans etc, which we stated we weren’t interested and would keep looking. She said ‘why, there are no better gyms than us.’ She continued to question

Where do I start! I’ve been struggling with my weight from a while, tried many unnatural products and other gyms but nothing was working. Then a friend of mine referred me Fernwood and she mentioned that it’s female only..so that made me comfortable so I thought I will give it a go..maybe I’ll find my motivation there and that was it for me! I signed up in November 2021 and right now I am 8kgs less with full of strength and happy heart and this was made possible with all the help of group classes, great team who’s always there if I would ask for an advise or help. The best time of my day

I started FIIT30 a couple of months ago.
At first, I thought it was daunting. I was also hesitant because I wasn’t quite fit yet, but the personal trainers (Celeste, Karina, Sally, Nicole) are very encouraging. They make you work very hard in a fun and inspiring way!
I am amazed by my progress, I can definitely see and feel the difference as I attend the classes regularly. I am now stronger, healthier and a lot happier. I found a sustainable fitness routine that is efficient and effective for someone who is working full time like me.

Positives: Beautiful gym, spacious. Has lockers, showers, a sauna, spin room, offers reformer (for an extra fee) and has a large group class room that you can also use when no classes are on. Fernwood has many different types of classes that run for 45mins. Also virtual classes you can pick from! The trainers are friendly and approachable women (I haven’t seen any males in the gym) and most will help your technique and any issues you have. You can also use the sister clubs in Narrewarren and Clayton. There’s a large range of cardio equipment as well.
Cons: The management and front desk staff

If you like to workout in a style than this is the gym you should be looking at. Situated at the 2nd level, the view is just amazing. You’ll be amazed how beautifully the floor is set, with all the latest equipment. The staff and trainers are awesome, always ready to give hands on help. Highly recommend checking this gym out.

Where do I begin, from the moment I walk into the gym I feel surrounded with care, support and non stop commitment of willingness from all staff and trainers to help and keep me motivated. When I started I was 82kgs and though how am I going to do this alone. But I wasn't alone I joined fiit30 and did a variety of the many classes they have to offer. Each trainer is so so special and qualified in there own ways and I love that because I never get bored with all there different ways of training. I have found fiit30 to be the success of my progress in my weightloss journey I am now down to 57kg,

I absolutely love coming to Fernwood Cranbourne. From the minute you walk in, you're greeted with a warm hello. I LOVE the variety of classes, love my instructors and all staff and love the great ladies I've met along the way! I can't recommend the Fernwood family highly enough. I'm here 5 days a week and it's brilliant for your mental health 😄 10 STARS!!!
