SOUTH PACIFIC HEALTH CLUBS

Absolutely loving my time at South Pacific Health Club! The body pump class taken by Marissa is a highlight. Such clear instructions and incredibly motivating. I look forward to her classes each week!

Marisa is the most fabulous, expert and dedicated trainer I’ve had the pleasure of knowing. Her pump classes are fun and engaging - well worth the experience. Love coming to the sea baths just for Marisa.

The St. Kilda SPHC is undoubtedly one of the best in Melbourne but the reason why I go is Marisa Viola, the Bodypump instructor. I have taken many classes at SP and I can safely say that Marisa is the best in the club. Marisa is knowledgeable, attentive, caring and fun. No one can doubt that. Her classes book out immediately and I always try my best to be part of them. During my postpartum recovery time she always made sure to keep an eye on me, modify exercises and take the time to chat to me about my needs and expectations prior and after class. Marisa is the reason why many of us continue to go to SPHC.

I was going through the reviews and it is so sad to read such bad reviews. The truth is that I’ve been a member over an year, and I never had any issue, they have always been very nice and polite either at the reception, as well as at the gym area. I truly recommend this gym

Having been a member at SPHC StKilda SeaBaths since the year it opened I now feel sufficiently qualified to review this gym. While the space has evolved from it’s boutique beginnings into the comprehensive fitness facility of today a couple of things have remained consistent. Namely the quality of trainers and class instructors, some of Melbourne's finest Yoga and Pilates teachers (Dawn, Lyra, Michael, Fluer, Clare, Amanda, Elka, Tanya, Jo & Nicole to name a few) all share their skills and impart their wisdom within the group fitness room walls making classes so much more than exercise. Another is their reception/customer service team, the unsung hero’s of the club, both friendly and efficient, the morning crew (I’m an early workout person) specifically but not exclusively Natalie, Kelsey, Tony and Liam who where possible personally greet myself and other regular members as we arrive a small gesture but not an insignificant one. Knowing I’ll meet a friendly face before my session makes early starts and punishing workouts all the more rewarding. And in the inevitable case of queries or challenges that arise from time to time I’ve always found the team go above and beyond to address issues with grace, patience and expedience. Thank you all so much for providing this wellness space. My life is exponentially better for having you all in it.

After months out of the gym & traveling I recently Joined Sea Baths St Kilda. It’s a beautiful gym with a variety of facilities. Amanda PT is incredible too, holds me accountable to my goals… pushes me to do my best… 10/10 💪🏼

Been over a year now attending Amanda Lenny's spin and class and continue to enjoy her classes every week. Amanda is a true professional caring for all her clients. She is a great instructor, very inspirational and a great motivator. She keeps her sessions fresh by varying the music and routine in most classes. Her classes are not to be missed. The only negative is that you need to remember to book or else you miss out.

The only reason I go to gym is classes. These are some of the best classes I’ve been to especially the Pilates and Yoga classes are especially impressive and initially why I joined. Although all the instructors are great and bring their own flavour, Elka’s Pilates class is unlike anything I’ve done before, her mix of traditional Pilates, ballet, boot camp and more, along with her ability to just sense what you need physically and emotionally is incredible- I’m obsessed. The new St Kilda branch manager Amanda Lenny goes above and beyond for her members, ensuring lots of fantastic class options, even jumping in to deliver as necessary, (Amanda is another instructor to get excited about btw). These classes are better than F45 and any Pilates studio I’ve tried.

One of the only gyms in Melbourne on the beach with so many classes available and equipment to enjoy for hours. Great vibe and love training here!

Best gym in Melbourne! Extremely affordable, heaps of classes available, great range of equipment and the views are unmatched! The customer service and staff are also amazing. I always get a speedy reply whenever I e-mail with a query, and most importantly, I am consistently greeted by a warm smile at reception! Do try Amanda and Brooke's classes, they are awesome!

An employee by the name of Riley helped me find my phone that I had lost on the premises. This level of dedication from the employees really shows why South Pacific Health Club is number 1!

I was thrilled when I heard Amanda Lenny was coming back to St Kilda South Pacific. She’s an absolute gem in every way possible. She’s ultra professional and approachable and her gym, training and management skills are outstanding. Her spin classes are a reflection of her greater self; highly charged, upbeat, fast and furious, caring, controlled, fair, encouraging, colourful and motivating. And music choice is something else!!

Love this centre, the staff are all so friendly and helpful and it’s always such a joy to be greeted at the front counter by Elise with her smile and great attitude! Well done staff

I’ve been a member for over 10 years and just love it. It’s even better having Amanda back full-time. Her energy in classes is 100% every single time and her general presence in the gym is so uplifting to members.

My faith in humanity has been restored the lovely lady at reception in a heartwarming display she looked after my misplaced credit and seniors card left at desk on entry till I left and returned them with a smile ! This is the best steam room in Aust

Have been coming here the last 2 years and for another year in 2017. I love this gym I just wish when it was 30 degrees they would use the air-conditioning 🥵

Gorgeous venue Great staff Amazing facilities!!!

Marissa who is the body pump instructor that teaches Monday nights is the best start to my week! She's welcoming, knowledgeable, clear, consistent, and focuses on technique and safety. Marissa remembers everyone's names and goes the extra mile by giving us extra tips to get the most out of our workout. Keep up the great job!

Spin Class with Amanda has been the highlight of my gym experience with South Pacific so far. Her teaching style is effortless and motivating from the very beginning to very end. She accounts for a wide variety of fitness levels with her instruction helping me as a beginner become confident in setting up correctly and how to get the absolute most out of every class. The music is loud and rhythmic which is great to keep your cycling in time. Amanda also never fails to give clear and concise instruction throughout the session inspiring you to push yourself consistently. Lastly I love the confidence and unity that she brings to every class it's obvious that it really encourages accountability. Thanks so much!!

I joined with a great amount of hesitation, fear and nerves because I've always felt a degree of awkwardness at the gym but now 5 months in, other than the holiday breaks - I've been attending classes 2-3 times a week and absolutely love it. I do highly recommend taking up personal training sessions, I took up the trial PT pack plus the extra 4 session with Kurt - and so glad I did becuase he helped me feel more confident with the equipment around the gym and also in class. By far the the best PT training experience I've had and will look to return to Kurt's PT when I need that extra help in training. 3 years ago I fractured my spine, today I'm feeling strong enough to complete HIIT classes, Pilates and a range of strength work. Thank you Kurt & the great team at South Pacific Health Club St Kilda.

Atmosphere 5/5 Pool 5/5

I've been a member of this gym for just over a month, and it's been a great journey so far, especially thanks to Marisa, our Pump class instructor. Her classes are in high demand, booked within minutes, and now I understand why. As a first-time pumper, I was a bit apprehensive, but Marisa's classes were a game-changer. Her energy and motivating spirit are truly contagious. What sets her apart is her genuine dedication to our progress. She takes the time to ensure that even newcomers like me get the exercises right. Debs' yoga classes are equally remarkable. Her expertise and passion shine through, making every session a true learning experience. And then there's Amanda – her classes are a burst of motivation. Her uplifting approach is just what you need. The importance of finding the right instructors cannot be overstated, and this gym has hit the jackpot. Marisa, Deb, and Amanda are seasoned pros who make this place exceptional. While I haven't yet tried all the classes offered, I'm confident there are more instructors in this facility who are just as skilled and passionate. The gym facilities are pristine, the equipment is top-notch, and the beach view is the cherry on top.

Change is good when the change is right for that person

Love bodypump with Katina, always a great energy in the the class! I have been doing pre natal PT sessions with Amanda. It’s been great to have some expert guidance working out when pregnant. I get a great workout but also advise on adjustments I can make in classes so I’m still getting the most out of my membership and feel safe doing the workouts I enjoy. The gorgeous sea views are a bonus!

The Wednesday pump classes 9.30 with Bec are my weekly exercise high light, perfect time and I love knowing that i can rely on getting a spot each week , thanks

Marissa Viola is the best coach ever, I started going seriously to the gym just because of her body pump courses, love her energy she's stunning. Big heads to @marissaviola👍👏 good point to the st kinda pacific club having her.

I am a long time member of St Kilda Sea Baths. I don’t use a personal trainer, I get all the motivation and energy from pump. Especially on the Tuesday night with Marissa she is so powerful as a Les Mills Instructor,I am amazed at her energy and motivation I feel grateful she takes the class for one hour.Marissa is so professionally. She is aware and monitors all of us individually to keep form and avoid injury. She is highly dedicated and enthusiastic. I have no problem in recommending your gym to do Marissa pump classes.

Marisa is an excellent instructor. Her classes are so popular they are hard to book into. Marisa is enthusiastic, supportive and motivates the class with an element of fun! After class she welcomes feedback and has time to chat to you about any questions you might have. She has helped me with my technique and given me more motivation to exercise. Thank you Marisa!

Great facility with a variety of classes. In particular I love my Monday bodypump classes with Marisa Viola. Marisa loves the bodypump discipline and it shows in the way she teaches - her energy makes you want to go that extra mile!

I just joined South Pacific St kilda 6 weeks ago and I could not be happier. The variety of classes and the easy booking app are diverse and convenient. Marisa Violas Pump class is hands down the best I have been too! Love this class, thank you 🙏

The body pump class was incredible. First time trying it out, the instructor took the time to help me get set up and ensure I had the correct form. She's got the energy of one of those envious 80s aerobic instructors, infinitely positive and bubbly, helped to motivate the whole class and get it done, especially when things got tough. The trial was super easy to set up with the club - will definitely be back. My body is so sore today! Thank you Marisa!

Amazing health club in every way! A heap of fitness options for all ages. Most helpful staff. I personally love the spin classes 🚴 with a big shout out to Amanda for pushing me to my limits and making it fun 👊🙏

Had my first Pump class this evening with Marissa. Absolutely loved it. The intensity and energy in the class was sensational along with the well taught techniques. Looking forward to another one!

Lovely club and staff members, was shown around by Dora who was amazing and helpful. Couldn't recommend it more

Cool place massive upstairs, great yoga sessions, great teacher and trainer's, very friendly

Amazing place in an amazing location!

Amazing gym! Great variety of classes to choose from. Member since 2016 and the the facilities and trainers get better and better every year! Shout out to Marissa! Would highly recommend!

I just wanted to leave a review for Adele. We only had one class with her but I just loved her energy, her kindness and focus on learning. She was gentle yet firm. Highly recommend her as swimming instructor. Keep it up Adele and thank you.

Great place with gym, swimming pool, hydrotherapy pool & sauna. View of the ocean is a bonus. Very friendly & helpful staff. Looking forward to the next visit.

Loved my time at this gym. A good variety in classes including reformer Pilates and a friendly community.
