My wife and I became members of Down Under Sports and Fitness over 12 years, shortly after it opened. We are now both retired and continue to go to the gym on a regular basis. Because the atmosphere at the gym is relaxed, people of all ages and all abilities can feel welcome and comfortable. One or both of the owners/trainers, Stephen and Sam (Samantha), are usually on the premises during staffed hours and available for assistance with equipment or an exercise routine. The gym, equipment and locker rooms are always very clean and well maintained. It is obvious that Stephen and Sam take great pride in the operation of the gym. In an industry where there are so many choices, whether you choose personal training or to workout on your own, consider Down Under.

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.
