Fitness First Melbourne Central Platinum

Francesco is a professional, extremely well prepared and attentive PT. After trying a few different PTs and not seeing any results, finally he was able to help me to take my game to the next level. His training is challenging yet enjoyable and I always look forward to a chat and a laugh during our sessions. My performance playing has improved tremendously and I wake up each day with more energy than ever. Thank you Francesco for improving my health, fitness and overall lifestyle!

My health has greatly improved since starting my training program with Francesco. His modern and personalised approach has allowed me to effectively rehabilitate my lower back pain, resulting in significant improvement within just a few weeks. I have also noticed improvements in my overall energy levels and quality of sleep. I highly recommend Francesco for anyone seeking enjoyable and challenging training sessions, especially those in need of long-term injury support.

Francesco is the best trainer going around. We have a lot of fun during our sessions and while he takes the exercises very seriously, we always have a great chat and a laugh. I have never felt judged or intimidated like some PTs make you feel, in fact Francesco always encourages me even if I am having an off day. One of his principles is to always listen to your body and he works closely with me to know when he can push me a little further and when I’m at my limit. He always watches my form and helps me adjust so that I’m making the most of my time in the gym and of course not hurting myself. Thank you Francesco for helping me to become a fitter, happier and healthier person.

I'm kind of a journeyman with gyms. I've have been training in them for 30+ years now. I've trained at gyms in various parts of the world: US, Europe, Asia, and, for the last four years, also in Australia. I've experienced high end, gritty, basic, and plenty of gyms somewhere in between, so I have a bit of experience with training at various types of gyms.I've been going to Fitness First (FF) for around six months now. First and foremost, I enjoy the overall positive energy inside a FF facility. The equipment is decent. Both the gym itself and locker rooms are clean. The staff are professional and friendly. Upon entry to the facility, I'm greeted by a staff member - a staff member that is approachable. In case I have a question or need anything, a conversation can easily be established. I look forward towards training at FF facility.Anecdotally, it seems that the majority of other members inside a FF are from a younger demographic which adds to the energy. To me, a gym that has positive energy / good atmosphere is more important than the equipment itself.At the gym, I bring a towel, pretty good attitude (I think), and try to be a decent citizen. Usually, if I feel pretty good and motivated prior to my workout then my post workout sets me up for the rest of my day - especially after the endorphins kick in. Training at a gym, like anything else that involves lots of other people - either working with them or just being in the general vicinity of them - is usually what you make of it. I'm glad I made the decision to join FF.

As a frequent visitor to Fitness First Melbourne Central Platinum, my experience has been relatively satisfactory so far. However, it's important to note that there are mixed reviews about the facility. While some of the front desk staff members are friendly, others may not provide the same level of service. It seems to be a matter of luck when it comes to the reception experience. Additionally, the gym tends to be crowded on weekends, which can impact the overall workout experience.On a positive note, the quality of the trainers at Fitness First Melbourne Central Platinum is commendable. The coaches are knowledgeable and provide valuable guidance during workouts. This ensures that members receive professional assistance and support in achieving their fitness goals.In summary, my experience at Fitness First Melbourne Central Platinum has been a mix of ups and downs. While the friendliness of the front desk staff may vary, the quality of the trainers remains consistently good. It's worth considering the facility's pros and cons, taking into account factors such as weekend crowding, when deciding whether it suits your fitness needs.

All the equipment is like the gym in the hood. The club manager takes feedback and throws it into bins. Mats are like 200 years old. What is platinum about the club is rusted barbells and weights. The online timetable will only show classes that can be covered by the manager. Always misses listing to weekend yoga because he can’t cover it. Raised soo many feedback. New equipment is coming in December 2022. Platinum pricing with zero standard .Been member since 2008 and the managers had been worst ever.The current club manager behaves as if he is paying me to come. the group fitness manager responds: If you ain’t happy with the club then why don’t you Try going to other location. I am not happy with him covering all the classes. Monday pump in until 6:15 pm and yoga starts at 6 pm. Soo what a great timetable. What a great way to treat your customers? If you can’t accept feedback and make changes then don’t bother replying.Such a poorly managed club

My husband and I were loyal members for 7 years. We cancelled our membership in person due to moving interstate (over a month ago). We continue to be charged and when we phoned the club we were informed the membership was new cancelled.They informed me we wouldn't be charged again, but we have been charged again including additional late fee charges.When I contacted them for the third time, I received a message stating our accounts were cancelled.We have tried everything we can to cancel our membership and it seems no one will cancel it for us!Absolutely appalling!

Rude PTs as pictures below. They don’t clean up after using machine, they are rude to members who dont pay their class. They have no basic manner to share gym. They bullied the members and always think they are the king of the gym. Fitness First management dont even care and don’t want to deal with the complaint because the PTs are the subcontractors and not actual their employees

I signed up my son for gym membership at Fitness First Melbourne Central, however he wasn't utilising the gym and so we decided to cancel it mid-way. FF staff communications was very bad and they did not inform the cancellation fees earlier. Had we know it earlier, we would have cancelled it immediately and just pay the nominal cancellation fees vs serving the weekly gym membership fees until now.Secondly, the PT at FF over-charged my son by 4 sessions, it was automated payments which we didn't realise earlier. I requested for intervention from FF management, however they mentioned that the agreement is solely between us as customer with the Personal Trainer only, they can't do anything.Extremely disappointed with Fitness First! Btw, my son is a minor, underage person.
