Best gyms in Adelaide: find options near you

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

IRON INDUSTRY GYM ! is incredible! The atmosphere is motivating, and the facilities are top-notch. All the equipment is in perfect condition, and there’s a wide variety to choose from.

The staff is extremely friendly and always ready to help. The trainers are true professionals and know how to bring out the best in you.

Additionally, the cleanliness is impeccable. There’s always disinfectant available, and it’s clear they take hygiene and member well-being seriously.

In summary, Industri Gym is the best place to train. If you’re looking for a gym that inspires you to reach your goals and makes you feel welcome, this is the place. You won’t find a better gym experience anywhere else!

I’m on the fitness passport and dropped in on a weekday to purchase a pass to use the facilities outside of staffed hours. Very friendly staff, super easy process. First and last day used the basement location as I was doing some lifting and my metcons needed minimal space. Used the east adelaide location on the middle visit as I needed more space. Both gyms have everything you need if you’re happy to make some adaptations to your plans. Will definitely use again when I’m in the area.

Absolutely love Iron Industries! The equipment is top-notch, always clean and in great condition. The staff are super helpful, friendly, and always up for a chat or to offer advice when you need it. Membership rates are super reasonable, especially considering the quality of the gym and service.

My partner and I love coming in the mornings — the locations are perfect for us to smash out a solid session before work. It’s become part of our routine and something we genuinely look forward to.

Lifetime member right here

Came here for a few casual visits on my weekend in Adelaide. Walked in and the staff were super friendly and helpful right away. Nice clean gym with great equipment. Will definitely use this gym again next time I come to Adelaide

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Hardcore, old-school vibe with top-tier machines and free weights. Perfect for serious lifters — plenty of variety, no waiting, and an atmosphere that pushes you to go harder. Easily one of the best gym I’ve trained at in SA.

I spent two weeks as a casual visitor at Iron Industry Gym on Gouger and was impressed by the atmosphere. The blend of old-school and new machines gives it a raw, authentic feel. If I move back to Adelaide, I would definitely consider joining. Highly recommended.

Would do 3.5 stars if possible.
Nice hole in the wall style gym with some modern trappings, cool atmosphere, iron plates are always a bonus to any gym and some equipment that you don’t also get everywhere like a belt squat.
Unfortunately let down by a fair bit of the equipment being broken or in disrepair. Distinct lack of vertical pulling options.

会员可以免费停车2小时的健身房

器械舒适，采光好. 气氛十分融洽和愉快

I have been going to tgis gym for a few weeks now and have 0 regrets. The community is very supportive, and the staff are always ready to help. I am always recommending this gym to my friends and if I could I would rate it higher.
5/5 stars.

Loving my new gym

Top end equipment with a great range to ensure what ever you are training on the day, the machine/weights are there for you.
Very well stocked for functional training and stretching.
Throughout the gym, the floor space has been well utilised and the gym feels open.
Hassle free parking ️
Friendly and knowledgeable staff
All facilities are immaculately clean

Keep up the good work Iron Industry ‍♀️

I joined this gym because it’s close by and affordable, and it exceeded my expectations! The staff member who signed me up was lovely, the gym has everything you need to train and they even throw in some free PT sessions! While the staff isn’t around 24/7, they’re always friendly and helpful when available. Compared to my previous gym in the CBD, where the staff were often rude and unapproachable, this gym feels much more welcoming and supportive.

On a side note, it would be great to have some lockable lockers and more cardio options like stair masters, but overall pretty good :))

This gym truly exceeded my expectations! The environment is clean and well-maintained, and the equipment selection is diverse, perfect for people with different training needs. There’s not only the basic cardio machines but also a free weights area and a functional training section, catering to workouts of all intensities. The trainers are professional and friendly, always keeping an eye on your form and progress, offering helpful guidance and encouragement. What’s even better is the spacious showers and lockers, making it easy to freshen up after a workout. Whether you’re a fitness newbie or an experienced athlete, you won’t be disappointed here!

Great gym with clean facilities, quality equipment, and friendly staff. Never too crowded and always a positive atmosphere.

Been with Iron Industry Gym for 4+ years. Witnessing its growth and getting well known and also been through the most tough time over COVID block down. I would say IIG is one of the best gym in the town, professional personal trainers and wide ranges of training devices will satisfy all your needs in the gym.

Awesome box. Great coaches, nice, clean & well equipped. Fair pricing. Did 3 drop in‘s during my stay in Adelaide & totally recommend it 10/10. Thank you for the nice & sweaty hours.

Dropped in for a few days while travelling and couldn’t have been happier with my choice to use Soul 365. Team extremely friendly, knowledgeable and motivating. Facility was one of the best I’ve trained in and with plenty of parking which is great with it being in the centre of the city. I can’t wait to train here again if I visit Adelaide again.

Had an awesome time dropping in at soul whilst working in Adelaide for 3 days. Great coaching from Ken, Adam and Monica. Thanks guys!

It’s been almost 12 months since one of my mates first introduced me to Soul365.

I had never done CrossFit style training before. I had always done my own thing in traditional gyms. So doing classes was something different.

I was pretty nervous when I first started.

But 12 months on I can say joining Soul365 was one of the best decisions I’ve made for my training!

I love the group classes and all the great people I’ve met through the gym.

The programming from the coaches get you serious results (thanks Adam, Alex and Carly).

They run awesome community events (thanks Mark) which was good for me being new to Adelaide.

They are even pet and children friendly as well!

I couldn’t recommend these guys highly enough if you’re looking for a gym with world class programming, great coaches and great community spirit!

(And they do a great coffee and smoothie!)

Dropped in for a session and loved the vibe of the place. Shout out to coach Ken, who was super friendly, and knowledgeable and made me feel welcomed into the space. Awesome facilities and super close to town. Will definitely come back when I am in Adelaide.

Absolutely love this place!! The coaches are super friendly, gym environment is great, the classes are run really well and everyone is really welcoming. Despite being in Adelaide for only 3 months, the team didn’t treat me any less. I was completely new to crossfit and weights and the coaches were all keen to teach me and answer any questions I had. I would recommend this place to anyone with any amount of experience!

Soul 365 has such an amazing community, I never thought I’d be the type of person to commit to crossfit classes but it’s hard not too be obsessed when everybody is so positive and lovely here. The coaches are so supportive and the space is amazing!!

Jetts at Adelaide city is an amazing Gym. If you’re also a traveller this is the gym you want to go to. It has everything. For those into calisthenics also rings and bars ( harder to find in all gyms ). Price is very reasonable daily or weekly. Go when manned- if you’re lucky and Gemma is on you will be greeted with the biggest smile and Philoxenia. Honestly been to lots of gyms around the world, Jets and Gemma aced the list.
Congrats and i will sign up ( thru Adelaide brunch) as it’s also national and international access as Gemma explained.
Great service great gym

Needed a workout when I arrived in adelaide.not having any membership in any gym in adelaide I searched online for a gym nearby my hotel.
Found jetts a mere 5 minute walk from where I stayed.
Very affordable day pass purchased at 15. Very clean well equipped gym with clean toilets and showers..been here twice on my last 2 work trips to adelaide.
Will.definitely return..
Gabby(lovely lady that runs the gym) I’ll definitely return for workouts here next time I’m in adelaide!

Jetts Adelaide City has been a great place to train whilst travelling interstate. The Club Manager, Gabbi, was super welcoming and very easy to talk to. She is passionate about ensuring that her members get what they want out of their training and the gym easily accommodates for different training styles – in my case, calisthenics. The gym is clean and the available equipment is high-quality. If you are even the slightest bit interested in trying out this gym, please reach out to Gabbi as she is highly qualified to tailor to your needs and help achieve your training goals.

A new training space in the Adelaide CBD & what a “Gem”. All the equipment is new & well spaced out, air conditioned, super clean & very welcoming. The manager Gabby, one of those rare dreams who trains herself & gets it … she’s there if you want help & shows respect if you don’t ❤️

Dropped in while I’m here for work and just wanted a quick workout before flying out tomorrow. Gaby was behind the bar and showed me around, super clear on where everything was. For this time they let me use the gym even though it was pretty quiet. A casual day pass is only 15 AUD. Perfect deal. Easy 5 stars.

I have been a member at Jetts Adelaide for the last couple months and I absolutely love the facilities and Staff. The place is spotless on ever visit and they have a great range of strength equipment and cables. Gabbi has also been great in showing me some new exercises to help with my training. It’s the hidden training gem of Adelaide

Super nice staff here! Very flexible plans! Highly recommend this gym! Come tomorrow for their flash sale!!

Visited while in Adelaide during Gather Round. Went early at like 4:30am on Sunday morning. Arrived and there was nobody there unlike my local AF!
I found it to be a bit warm in there. I went upstairs to the cardio and weight machines.
Only missing one piece of equipment that I normally use.
Showers and toilets were clean. The cleaner actually came in to the gym while I was there.
If it was a tad cooler and had that one piece of equipment, it would be perfect!
See you during my next visit to Adelaide!

Quite a good gym. Well split over the levels. Just shame about proper electronic lockers and lack of towel usage in the gym. The wipes are handy though. Functional fitness area is good.

The gym is very clean, tidy regularly, and the machines are new. I like to exercise here because it is not crowded and I don’t have to wait for the machines. It is usually very quiet on weekends.

Good gym over two levels. Equipment well maintained

Pin Loaded Machine List (LifeFitness):
Triceps Extension
Biceps Curl
Shoulder Press
Fixed Pulldown
Pectoral Fly/Rear Deltoid
Glute Kickback
Assisted Dip/Chin
Seated Row
Hip Abductor/Adductor
Lying Leg Curl
Seated Leg Extension
Chest Press
Seated Leg Press
Hammer Strength MTS Abdominal Crunch

Plate Loaded Machine List (Hammer Strength):
Iso-Lateral Chest/Back
V-Squat
Glute Drive
Leg Press
Seated Calf Raise
Iso-Lateral Row

This is a clean and relatively modern gym. The drink fountain is actually cold which can’t be said about many other AF locations. However the equipment selection holds this back a lot which is unfortunate because there’s plenty of space. I’d like to see a linear hack squat, sissy squat, standing calf raise, and seated leg curl at a bare minimum to take this to a 3/5 star gym. Then adding some angled row machines and a belt squat could take it to a 4/5 star gym which would make it superb for an inner city location.

The shower room looks good, but the location where the shelf is installed is wrong. I raised my hand while washing my hair and hit my hand.
The liquid soap dispenser looked broken.

Gym condition okay, machines worn but effective some, showers could clean but atmosphere okay

Please put the anti-perspirant away from the treadmill. It’s unbreathable when somebody sprays it when we are running. We really need fresh air when running, though it’s fragrance to some extent, but it’s not good for inhaling by such amount especially when running!

Clean and great AF site 🙂 Nice toilets and equipments. Id definitely recommend as home gym and id also go here frequently.

Great gym with a clean space, solid equipment, and friendly staff. Always a good vibe and never too crowded when I go (8-11am or 8-10pm). Highly recommend!

Immaculate
Nice staff… really nice
Good clean equipment
Best AF in Adelaide and I’ve been to 4

Great gym! Clean space, good equipment, and friendly staff. I always enjoy my workouts here.

Upon renewing my training sessions, no new contract was signed, nor was the validity period clearly communicated. The trainer insisted on applying the original contract’s validity to the renewed sessions, which caused confusion and led to wasted sessions. Clearer communication of contract terms during renewal would greatly improve the client experience. Overall, this was a frustrating and disappointing experience.

I recently joined Anytime Fitness Adelaide, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience so far. Leah was incredibly helpful during the sign-up process—friendly, professional, and made everything so easy. The gym is clean, well-equipped, and has a great atmosphere. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a supportive and welcoming fitness environment!

I usually go here after uni! Supportive and friendly team! However, the music is a bit odd and distracting giving such a bad vibe! Too strong and loud! Also most of machines are out of order so I have to use the dumbbells instead which is really sad. The trading hours changed! The elevator is always broken and it’s so annoying to use another way to the gym.

They’ve never fixed the broken machines. In the ladies’ gym, three treadmills have been broken for a long time; only one works.

I think they never check stock availability; there is often no toilet paper, paper towels, soap and no disinfectant.
I was in the toilet, as I was bursting, and I found no toilet paper.
I asked the clerk, and he told me to use my own towel to clean the equipment. People use their towels to wipe their sweat.
Temperature is too high even during the winter season.

I already spoke to the team about this, but nothing has changed.
The management team is really bad, and I feel sorry for the front desk team and cleaners. I heard they escalate issues to the manager every day, but nothing has changed. Some cleaners have even quit due to a lack of supplies.

I work at the city, so I have no choice; otherwise, I wouldn’t use it.

The staff don’t seem to care about the opening hours. It’s becoming more and more common for them to not turn up in the morning to let people in.

This morning there would have been 40-50 people either waiting, or giving up and leaving because nobody turned up to open the gym.

Unfortunately this isn’t the first time and it’s now a regular occurrence that the gym isn’t open at the advertised time of 6am. Most of the time it’s before 6:30am, however today was 7am before someone arrived to open.

We have been told there there will be key fobs coming to allow 24:7 access again, however it has now been months and when asking the manager, he advised he hasn’t been told if or when this will be made available for Rundle Mall.

It’s also very dirty with the bathrooms often not cleaned from the day before.

On the positive, the equipment is good quality and there’s an abundance of weight plates available.

If it wasn’t for the staff not caring about their members standing outside for over an hour (sometimes longer), this review would be much higher.

At this stage I won’t be renewing my membership, which is frustrating because it’s in the perfect location for me to train before work. It’s just a gamble whether you can actually get in or not.

The low annual membership price and equipment variety brought me in, but the gym has increasingly had more and more problems. I’ve been here for 1.5 years and so many treadmills have been out of order for a lot of that time, which is really inconvenient during peak busy times. It’s quite crowded now that it’s no longer 24/7, people who trained late at night / middle of the night (including myself) now need to go during the day – smaller time window equates to more people at once. We were told a fob system would be implemented so the gym could return to its former 24/7 access, but it’s been 5 months and nothing yet. Now that it’s crowded it’s almost impossible to use the seated row machine, there’s only one and it’s a popular piece of equipment, I’ve needed to substitute the exercise almost every time.
These things on their own aren’t a big deal and wouldn’t bother me, but it’s compounding and becoming a hindrance. I’m currently looking at other gyms for when my membership finishes, which is a shame because I liked this gym when I first joined.

One of the most run down derrimut gyms .Eg.One out of 5 treadmills work in the ladies gym for the past 4 months.
The stairmaster stopped working,they removed it instead of replacing it .

Not 24/7 but call themselves 24:7 Gym.
It’s always crowded and dirty. Many people work out without a towel. But no one care
Many machines, especially those cardio machines are always broken.
For example, stair masters have been broken for more than three weeks, only one is usable but always someone using.
Not going to resign even if the price is cheap.

The environment is getting worse and worse. I have already cancelled my membership, but they are still deducting money from me. If I hadn’t gone there in person twice, no one would have replied to my messages. And I was told that only the money for three times could be refunded. It was a very bad experience.

Highly recommended!!
Chloe is a very professional trainer, always motivated everyone to do their best! challenger finesse club is not only just indoor sections, we had outdoor as well, feel the sunshine and the fresh air .
It’s a fun finesse group and you will meet new friends!
To be a better you❤️

美女教练很负责靠谱啊，课程安排很科学，体测和训练拍照也很及时。坚持1-2周就可以能感到身体的明显变化，推荐给朋友参加也说很好，减重不是唯一目的，对养成好的饮食习惯和锻炼习惯也很有帮助，自己减肥和塑身动力不足的朋友赶紧参加吧，有些事真的是自己做跟在团体内较劲很不同。本人后期两周巨忙有偷懒，只减了8kg，但周围朋友也说变化很大，相信你们一定也可以。

The training program is very good for any level of fitness lovers! I definitely love it, as a beginner , the program design fits my body tolerance , it moves smoothly further in each training courses, I can feel the difference of my body and development of body muscles! If you are a beginner too, start from here!

It has been a great experience being a part of the club’s 10 week challenge program. I am inspired by the motivations coming from the coach and classmates and found Chole very helpful in correcting my workout techniques. The supports and advices on sustainable diet and life style change is also very beneficial. I enjoyed it and would highly recommend it to people with any fitness levels and goals.

10周挑战进行中，感觉整个人的精神状态都好了很多。从第一次咬牙坚持练完到现在上完课一身轻松，不管体重减轻了多少，生活状态绝对健康了跟多。饮食打卡也让我看到了自己平时饮食营养是多么不均衡。强推！！！

The perfect training place for beginners to lose weight. If you still are thinking about how to start your training, this place will be a good choice for you to start. The trainer will do body check for you to record your body weight, body’s fat, body healthy situation and your muscle weight. They will write an eating diet for you to tell you how much calories you can take every day. So you can do exercises with a healthy meal plan during training time to help you losing weight in a healthy way!
I joined them and lost 13 kg during 10 weeks training time. I have to say they are an amazing team and also responsible for every student in class.

It is so so good fitness club that I am in at the moment. I didnot think that I could benefit so much on body work out in 10 weeks changes at beginning, especially fat burning. While, in 7 weeks intake monitoring and body practice, I reached the fitness level— 56 kg of 166cm height. 23%fat remains.
Plus, the coaches are very professional & friendly, the atmosphere at the club is warm and welcome. Highly recommend.

Great gym in a central location. Has a swimming pool and all the amenities, and the staff and owner are all top notch. Slightly older clientele

Friendly staff and customers, great facilities including one-lane-all-for-you swimming pool subject to booking. The online booking system is simple and efficient too.

I really like this gym. The gym has a welcoming, friendly, community vibe. I love that it has a pool. Occasionally I wish there was slightly more / different equipment but it has everything I really need. It’s kept clean and the staff are always friendly.

I’ve been with Freedom Fitness since early 2022, and I’ve been popping in with casual visits beforehand. Honestly, part of me wants to keep this place a secret – it’s that good. Where else in Adelaide can you book your very own lane for a swim in 40-minute slots? It’s a game changer, and one of the best covid legacies! The vibe here is fantastic, with a respectful and friendly community, staff included. if you’re looking to snag a lane during peak hours, make sure to book well in advance!

Absolutely the best trainer – Vanessa from Freedom Fitness, Adelaide! She genuinely wants her clients to reach their goals. Very supportive and encouraging. Her approach in training is something that every client requires. Very systematic and gradual learning approach. She genuinely loves her work and I can see that very much reflected in the training sessions that we do together! It makes a huge difference for the client when trainer genuinely loves what they do for work. So happy to have you as my trainer!

Our 16 y.o. son has been going to Freedom Fitness for a couple of months and loves it. I have to say the staff are beyond amazing. They go out of their way to look out for our son and mentor him towards his fitness goals. It’s more like a home away from home than just a gym. Very rare to find this kind of service these days! Well done to Peter and his staff.

Great little inner city gym and pool. Fantastic staff. The pool is 25m and you book ahead online, there are a range of options for passes to full memberships

Jacob went above and beyond to assist, even after realising I’d be accessing the gym through fitness passport. Very passionate about his work and deserves a raise!

Gym itself is decent with all your standard equipment. Great location!

Only a new member but loving this gym. Everyone is friendly and helpful and very welcoming and inclusive! Thanks to all at Goodlife.
Adding to my review now after 3 months membership. Still love this gym. Equipment in the weight room seems to be well looked after and maintained, and there is a good range. Have a really good PT – Luke Bull – highly recommend him – professional, friendly and knowledgeable. Thanks again Goodlife. I am really enjoying this journey.

Poor customer services and lack of transparency and a huge issue of ethics. I have been with them for nearly 2 years, under my contract it’s 14- day cancelling notice. When I asked the first time for cancellation, they sweet talked me for a free 4-week frozen period. But I still got charged for the week right after. I came in to the gym and gave the receptionist my card to check whether my account is frozen. He said no. So no action was taken when I requested. I was so annoyed and asked him to cancel on 13 June. My last payment was supported to be on 23 June, but they still tried to charge me for another 2 weeks after the last week of cancelling notice payment was made, then gave me an explanation saying it’s 30day notice not 14 days. I paid for extra 2 weeks plus late fees on the faults that I didn’t make. When I called in, this time it’s a female receptionist. I said one of the male reps said the cancellation notice is 14 days, the girl said “oh he is no longer working here” what kind of bullshit is that? So Goodlife has no responsibility of your employees training and information? Ex employees dont count? Very unreliable and unprofessional!

Located in the heart of Adelaide, not too far from Victoria Square, it’s one of the bigger Goodlife Health Clubs around. If you’re looking for a super modern new facility with state of the art equipment, you might be disappointed, but hey, if you’re looking for a HUGE variety of equipment and are just wanting an awesome pump or workout (in a historical/architectural building), they’ve definitely got everything you need. The gym is split across multiple floors (see map breakdown in the photos) and everything is kept pretty neat and tidy. The photos should also help you work out if there’s something available for you. The staff were very friendly when I visited.

Highly Recommend!!!
I just joined Goodlife and have had an amazing experience, from the customer service, club presentation and my first BodyPump class with Vanessa. I can hardly walk today and I cannot wait for my next workout.
Thanks Goodlife Team

They keep having issues with my direct debit even when I know for a fact they have my correct bank details and there’s enough funds in my account; it’s been many phone calls and in person chats with many promises they’d sort it out but the same recurring problem months later. I regret signing up with them tbh.

I much prefer Derrimuts for price, equipment, convenience, vibe etc anyway even with rumours of them shutting down due to questionable business practices.

Horrible customer experience. Visited the gym as a potential customer, ask the front counter staff for a tour and a no lock-in contract gym only membership. Not only he didn’t give me a gym tour, he first “filtered” it with a verbal question of whether I’m able to commit to them for 3 months or 6 months saying it’s not really a contract but I’ve to commit (which to me seems like a contract, and a scam in disguise of commitment). I said again, I’d like the option of a no lock-in contract membership and was just asking for pricing. He again incompetently gave me a cheaper pricing (which wasn’t that cheap) but with 12 months contract, which showed he wasn’t listening to me and only gave what he wanted to sell. He wasn’t even wearing a proper uniform, was wearing a casual plain shirt which looked very unprofessional. Then, when I asked again for no lock-in contract membership, he said he can’t help me with that. Well, that was a total shame and disappointment on him and the gym for not providing no lock-in membership and competitive pricing options, and he just lost a potential customer, as there are many other gyms that can provide both.
