My daughter and I have been a member here for about a year now… my son on and off for a few years since he’s away at college. He was so happy to find a local internship this summer just so he can continue to come to Down Under! The staff is truly amazing! The members are so kind! I look forward to their friendly hellos… that’s what keeps me coming back day after day! Plenty of equipment to use and wonderful classes (even though I may moan and grown through it :). I highly recommend this gym if you are looking for knowledgeable staff, a super clean environment, great classes, plenty of equipment, no crowds and definitely no judgement!

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

I truly believe that working with my trainer for the past six years has improved my health immensely and added years to my life. As a retired physician with a family history of heart disease I realized that I had to drastically improve my activity level and diet. Down Under’s relaxed, welcoming atmosphere and my trainer’spatient but firm manner has had a major positive impact on my health to the delight of my physicians.
