This gym is great for the variety of strength, functional, and aerobic equipment in a large, accessible foot print. I do a diverse set of exercises and the equipment does not limit me. Nor does the number of members. Crowds were small. The only limitation is from the management, which is good or bad depending on your needs They want the gym to be orderly and safe. They are quick to point out a violation of their orderliness, having me move an exercise from one location to another. Although their vigilance keeps all gym equipment in its place, I became paranoid that I was being constantly watched for unknown violations. Although they were amply there to point out an unsafe exercise, they will not take responsibility for the blocked emergency exit. The emergency door from the rear of the exercise room cannot open due to equipment on the other side of the door.
I cannot say enough good things about this gym. I joined in November of 2023 after the gym I went to for 20 years suddenly closed. The owners Stephen and Sam immediately make you feel like family. They are the nicest people. The facility is very clean and they are constantly working to improve the place. In the 15 months I’ve been here, the gym has just about doubled in size. They’ve also added a tanning bed, 2 infrared rooms and even arcade games. Keep up the great work!!
I could not be any happier on my decision to join this gym- The owners , Sam and Steven, and front desk, Maria, are friendly, available and helpful on all topics relating to health and fitness. One low monthly membership fee also includes group classes , which is a huge bonus for me- the instructors are awesome !!! the new spin class room ROCKS, the senior class is fun and Sam’s Saturday workouts are challenging- AND I’m becoming comfortable on the equipment and using weights. ( the selection is top notch) .One more plus - this is hands down the cleanest gym I’ve ever been to- even the locker rooms are phenomenal. I highly recommended Down Under ! - 5 stars
I am 56 years old and have to force myself to exercise. I have tried many gyms and this is by far my favorite, ever. The space is open, light filled, entire wall of windows in a cool industrial building. Best sunset views! The owners are Sam and Stephen. They are patient, knowledgeable educators, funny, and really are helping people to achieve goals. Sam is running a ten week challenge that I am part of right now and we are working on a combination of exercise and nutrition. We have a WhatsApp chat group where we share successes, recipes , ideas, and support one another. They have group fitness classes that make me work hard and push myself. At the end of her ten week challenge I will have 30 different work outs to do. They have two part time staff people who also are attentive and great. This is a boutique gym and I really cannot say enough great things. There is a very diverse client population and I love this as well, people both younger and older, no judgement, just friendliness. #bestgymever
After being a member at Gold's, Planet Pizza - I mean Fitness, and Body Zone...I gotta say this is the best one. With BZ coming in at a close 2nd. And this is simply because DU is clean, very organized, well kept and friendly. They learn your name. I don't know how, but they do it. This gym is newly located on the 3rd floor. And soon to occupy the 4th as well. That alone tells you it is for those who don't mind a little effort to gain results.
