Fernwood Fitness

Fernwood Fitness Carlton is a great gym with lots of equipment and good group classes. Staff are incredible and very welcoming. The FIT30 classes with Jay Ramsay are fantastic! Jay is an inspiring mentor and her workouts make me feel confident and strong.

Just love my Fernwood Carlton! Super friendly, caring staff with a lot of knowledge about how to get fit. Great selection of classes. The one place I really enjoy going to!

I have loved this gym and my only reason for leaving was that i've moved 30 minutes away. Although, I was leaving the house at 5.50am to make Jay Ramsays 6.30am FIIT30 classes. She has always accommodated for my needs and goals, whilst remaining super positive and uplifting. I also loved Monica's Saturday classes, she always pushed me to my limits. I wish I could have stayed!

I have been strength training with Jay Ramsey for more than 6 months and she is an exceptional trainer who really cares about supporting her clients to achieve holistic health and wellbeing goals. She is an incredibly knowledgeable PT who uses evidence to develop programs that really work. Couldn't recommend her more highly.

Fernwood Carlton has fantastic facilities and offers a range of group fitness classes, some of which are at an additional cost. I particularly enjoy the FITT30 sessions with Jay Ramsay! Jay is incredibly passionate about her clients and accommodates all fitness levels. Jay is highly focused on form and technique to ensure you get the best workout, but she knows when to push you! I also love the reformer pilates classes as a workout on active recovery days. And a big shoutout to Sarah, Janet, Nicole, and the other amazing trainers who make Fernwood such a supportive and comfortable place to train.

I trained at this gym for over a year and the main highlight was having Jay Ramsay as my personal trainer. I worked with her for half a year and she was great in helping me improve my fitness. She’s incredibly committed to her clients and has a fiery passion for what she does. I highly recommend her services - she was the main reason I stayed at the gym as long as I did.

I have been attending Carlton Fernwood for eight years now. It is my happy place. The staff are brilliant, the equipment is excellent and the other clients are encouraging, respectful and delightful.My Personal Trainer, Jay Ramsay is a dream. She is incredibly knowledgable, kind and motivating in the right measure, and is willing to go the extra mile to tailor to her clients' needs. I work hard, but also have a pre-existing injury which challenges me in my physical workouts. Jay has not only been extra supportive in this area, but continues to be flexible in order to support me as my situation changes. I cannot thank her enough or recommend her more.

I’ve been at Fernwood for a little over a year now. I want to give a massive shoutout to my personal trainer, Jay Ramsay. I’ve been training with Jay for a few months now and she has already changed my attitude towards health and fitness. Her positive outlook, passion to share knowledge, and motivation are just few of the incredible things I appreciate about her. She’s got great energy and it’s always fun to train with her! I feel supported and she’s been consistently helping me achieve my goals. If you’re looking for a personal trainer who will not only help you achieve your goals but will take the effort to create a safe and positive environment, I highly recommend going with Jay!

great gym overall good environment and equipment as well as huge variety of classes available at all times.shout out to pt jay ramsay who has been really great at accommodating routines to fit my health conditions and is always great at responding to texts outside of training sessions as well. overall very encouraging and helpful to me as someone who hadn't been to the gym for a while and hasn't always had pts who are able to think on the spot and modify movements to fit with physical limitations like jay does

Friendly gym with a broad range of low impact classes, (probably could do with some more hardcore classes, only pump and hiit are available (although not well attended)), where as the all new reformer Pilates classes are well attended.This location has really gone downhill recently for me, with almost every single class I am able to attend -without canceling a work shift- which I do at a cost of $130 some weeks when there’s no other work available- and even then one class a week isn’t enough.Sunday bodypump canceled, Friday pump canceled, Wednesday cycle canceled, Wednesday Pilates canceled, with no similar timing replacements.“No instructor” is the usual reason given, yet there was a Sunday pump instructor- she just wasn’t given much of a chance to pull in the numbers- even tho it was over Xmas/summer when everyone in Carlton goes on holidays. She could have just been given some tips to improve… there was cultural differences that could have been taken into consideration… I thought it was women’s gym supporting young mum. Nope, it’s all $$$ (and I understand gyms did it hard over covid- but still)Other Fernwood’s have too much of a suburban mum vibe for my liking.Starting to look out side of FernWood for options.Another user mentioned no grit or body balance, I'd like to see Grit, but Body Balance"™️ is just a way for Les Mills™️ to make money from yoga. It's just yoga. And Carlton has a v wide range of great yoga classes.Some gyms are super strict about attending classes on time
