Fernwood Fitness

I only joined less than a week ago, and been a few times, but I feel like first impressions matter. It is truly already one of the best gyms I've been too. My positive experience started when I went for a tour and ladies struck up a conversation with me in the carpark as we walked in. Then the trainers were so lovely. My onboarding session, people spoke to me and made me feel so relaxed and welcomed. The gym overall is so clean and equipment all new, then in my first class, I had women around me talking to me and helping me out when I didn't know what to do. These might seem like minor things, but in all the other gyms I've been too, no one else, trainer or not, has so much as smiled at me let alone had a chat and be friendly to me. This has helped significantly with the anxiety I had about being in a gym environment, and I'm actually excited to go and try new things (such as new classes!). I also love that I feel safe going at anytime day or night due it being female-only. Best decision I've made, can't recommend it enough!

Hypoxi has been fantastic for me! It has moved the stubborn fat and given me back my shape in 7weeks. I have lost 6.4 kilos and l am fitting into my clothes and now shopping for a 12 to 14 not 14 to 16. It's quick, easy and the team at Narre Warren were encouraging and shared there own personal stories. I have energy and motivation and I would recommend it to anyone that is wanting great results!

I’ve recently joined Fernwood to get involved in the FIIT30 sessions, and because of this I’ve found my motivation to be active again. The early mornings are so much easier with such a welcoming group of ladies. The trainers are always thinking of new ways to challenge us and what once was a fear, is now my favourite part of the day! Really love being part of such a community!

I use to train at Narre Warren, now currently at Cranbourne as closer to home but will definitely be in to do some classes at both clubs. Everyone at fernwood are so lovely and make you feel comfortable. Very clean gym and great equipment.

Amazing gym that makes every girl feel welcome. I always feel most comfortable and safe at all hours with Fernwood due to its ladies only environment. Great location, easy upfront parking, friendly staff, clean & organised, great variety of fun classes, and has new cardio and strength equipment! The gym also has a virtual spin studio which you can do your own spin class at any time. Love the black and pink motivational theme throughout the gym! Only small improvements I wish to see in the future is for the gym locks to be changed to a reliable locker system as I'm scared to use the lockers after hours, as sometimes I can't unlock it (but the rules state not to bring your gym bag out on the gym floor), and the bathroom is outdated compared to other gyms in the area, and would love to use a smith machine in the gym! But these minor factors don't outweigh the positive aspects of this amazing gym! Thanks Fernwood for creating and offering an amazing ladies only gym!

This place even doesn’t deserve one star, absolutely outrageous, I have told them I couldn’t attend to the gym anymore because my mother got diagnosed with ovarian cancer and I had to move to Perth to look after her, I have called the gym and wanted to cancel my membership but they didn’t cancel my membership and continue withdraw money from my account till today and still doing it, this is going back to several months ago, unfortunately last month, my mother has passed away and left us with lots of sadness and grief,After that, I was going through a few test and assessments to see if I there is any trace of cancer that I might have because I have lost 15k in a short amount of time and each time when I go through these tests I am so scared and nervous about the results, I am still under supervision of the doctor and doing tests , AND THIS GYM still withdrawing money from my account, SHOCKING!!!!!!!!I am very very very upset ,,,,,So please if you want go to this gym , think twice because they don’t have a sense of being human and money is everything for them,Absolutely shocking, :(

the gym has terrible hours such as closing at 12pm on saturday and closed on sundays, 24/7 hour access is only available for over 18. Told i can go on a student membership freeze (I had exams) free of charge but once off then be told i had to pay a freeze fee, which is more than i was expecting to pay so it was not in my balance and i was also charged a late debit fee (my balance was in my saving account), I should at-least know where my money is going towards. The gym is small, very limited facilities and there are 2 weightlifting sections however one section is nearly always busy with circuit classes so theres only one squat rack for use, i did not realise how bad this was until exploring other gyms especially for the cost of this gym. Cancelling fee was $200 because i had a 12 month membership, plus 2 next debits (so an extra month of being at the gym). I’ve heard and seen other women try to cancel their gym membership and been absolutely guilt-tripped by employees at receptionist about how there is 24 hours in a day and that it depends on how you spend them (some people are just busy people!! Family, work) they should be more understanding and helpful. The locked in contract is so unflexible.Ladies, if you’re interested in the comfort of being with only women go to gyms with female only zones, freeway’s female only area is larger than fernwoods entire gym (2x cheaper too) How is it that a female only gym sells a singular pad for 5 DOLLARS? Female hygiene products already are overpriced for something women have no choice over, it is extremely disappointing and a female’s gym should not be further contributing to that. Upon cancelling my membership they did not send me a receipt or tell me the schedule of my next few payments for cancellation and again the same reject payment fee applied which is so stupid. My experience with fernwood over 6 months has been that its not flexible, unhelpful and money hungry. I have no issue with paying good money for a quality gym but i should at least know where my money is going and this is not the standard.I would never waste my time with fernwood again.

I’ve attended Fernwood Narre Warren for about 2 years now. At first it was only to loose weight before my wedding in 2021 and have continued going because of the amazing staff, trainers and beautiful women that I train with.

Amazing gym, staff & members. Staff are always ready to help with any questions. Six months ago, I hated exercise, I’m now there five days a week. If I could give 10 ⭐️ I would. Thanks Fernwood
