Fantastic experience: Great gym with a decent selection of kit and a great training atmosphere
Thank you so much Mike, it's great to have your energy here too!
Fantastic experience: I joined Fortitude Fitness earlier this month, after becoming disillusioned with the large chain gym I had been at for the past 2 years. I wanted more of a supportive feel and 'team' atmosphere, plus the overcrowding at my previous place was messing with my mindset and spoiling my training. After just a few visits I have to say, hats off to Kamal and all the team. They have created a really well-equipped space, plus a friendly and positive vibe. Equipment includes 4 racks, 3 lifting platforms, dumbbells up to 70kg (!!) plus high quality machinery that has been chosen maximum muscle building potential. All this plus well-appointed showers and changing, an upstairs MMA/boxing and cardio area, and even a social space down the back with a pool table and space to remote-work or socialise. And lighting is ON POINT! ;-) Thanks for the big welcome, I look forward to being a member for a long time to come.
Matt, thank you so much for your kind words. So glad you’ve finally managed to find a training facility where you finally feel like a strong part of a team too!It’s great to have you here and we can’t wait to see all the progress you’ll be making.Team Fortitude
Fantastic experience: Amazing atmosphere and vibes from everyone that goes here, Brilliant range of equipment as well to help with any targets people have

Thank you so much Sipan, you're the best!! Excited to watch your transform this year
Fantastic experience: Thank you fortitude. What a find ! I drove past this place and thought I’d see what it was all about. From the moment I stepped foot inside your doors i felt so welcome. I had never been to a gym before so opted for a personal trainer and Kyle was amazing, friendly and very motivating. From the atmosphere to the amazing new equipment, it really is an all round amazing place to work out. The staff are extremely friendly and accommodating when needing instruction. They have a large selection of drinks and snacks available for pre or post workout munchies. A large combat zone upstairs which is great to blow off some steam. A chill out zone with a pool table and areas to do work with amazing WiFi. I honestly cannot thank you enough and cannot recommend this space enough. Plenty of parking available and just a great community. Can’t wait to see you again soon.
This is honestly such a heart warming review, thank you so much for all the kind words Charlie! We love having you here and we can't believe the transformation you've already had!! See you on your next session
Fantastic experience: Best gym
Thanks Jodie, you're the best!!
Fantastic experience: Top class gym, different league to the rest. Brilliant atmosphere and equipment. Coaches are always welcoming and invested in your progress!
Thank you so much for your review, and we love witnessing your progress here!!
Fantastic experience: Great gym, giving a completely different feeling/vibe. You can tell each piece of equipment has been chosen with so much passion. You don't just get your random machines here only because all the gyms have them, everything's got a reason, and the reason is GAINS. If its not very efficient at giving you the best gains, it's probably not here, and I actually love it. Dumbells up to 70kg. Top notch combat area. Space to chill, rest, eat and even play pool which is great if you're hitting the gym with mates. And they're still improving the whole place which is exciting. Big, big up!
Thank you so much for your review David, we really appreciate the effort you’ve put into sharing about your experience here!
Fantastic experience: Friendly staff gym with all what you need to train heavy and properly, good energy during all my training session.
Thank you Jose, we love having you train here!
Fantastic experience: I noticed all of the womens butt cheeks grew exponentially here at fortitude.
Our leg room has a range of glute-building apparatus, so all of our members see fantastic results! Thank you for noticing James, see you again soon!
Fantastic experience: Best gym I have been to. Great equiptment and friendly staff.
Thank you for your kind words Reese!!

Thanks so much Jack, we love having you bring the vibe here!
Fantastic experience: Love this gym, great facility looking forward to spending time here!
We love you spending time with us, see you soon Brad!!
Fantastic experience: Of the gyms I've been to, this is the best atmosphere and friendly environment I've been in. Everyone's approachable and more than happy to help and assist there they can! Highly recommend coming down!! The CEOs instantly make you feel like a long lost friend or family member!
Fantastic experience: I have never felt so welcomed in to a gym! The staff are amazing and create an electric atmosphere, the attention to detail with the equipment and furnishings is second to none, the members are so supportive and approachable...and once you're there you don't want to leave. I have always felt like I didn't "belong" at other gyms, the masses of men in weight areas, groups of women acting clicky, etc. etc. But there is NONE of that at Fortitude and if I've ever struggled the members and staff have been quick to help and support me. Highly recommend.
Thank you for leaving such a lovely review! Great to hear you feel so at home with us and hopefully we can continue making you feel just as happy and welcome to train here☺️

Positive experience: A few little things still being worked on but all the weightlifting equipment is good, haven't really looked at the cario machines yet. Staff are friendly and get to know you not something I ever experienced at a commercial gym.
Thank you so much for baring with us while the rest of our equipment was arriving! It's great to have you train with us and experience how caring our team is. Hope you've enjoyed the cardio machines too!
Fantastic experience: Great place great staff 100% recommended!!

Fantastic experience: After being introduced by a friend to Fortitude Fitness, i though i would give it a shot. After my first session in the gym Jason Watson I was fully aware of my goals and with his help, how i was going to achieve them. Having been going to the gym for a while i've found myself at home, the whole Fortitude Fitness team are fantastic. They are all willing to help out, give tips and pointers and are all up for a laugh. i've been to several gyms in the past and I've never enjoyed the gym experience as much as i enjoy my time here. love it!!

Very quickly the team made me feel right at home and apart of the magical family they've created! Jason and Kamal have developed a unique and inspiring atmosphere, I've never experienced a place like it!
Fantastic experience: This is an absolutely amazing gym! The atmosphere is one of a kind with super friendly staff. You can never have a bad session at this gym, the staff are so helpful and the members really support each other.
