Benjamin Lea Honestly, I’m not too sure what other reviewers are complaining about. If your training age is anything more than two years, you will appreciate this Gym for what it’s worth. Pure Strength and Techno Gym plate loaded equipment, MAG grips, IVANKO & ELEIKO calibrated plates, KEISER power cages and 4x sturdy built out squat platforms. If you know you know. Is this location perfect, no. Is any location perfect? No. This definitely has a “Housed” feel, but it is in no way shape or form at the caliber of a five star luxury hotel like the Macquarie Park location. In saying that, if you’re paying Housed pricing which is like $20 a week you have to be out of your mind to think this additional location (not to mention the others that have recently opened) isn’t exceptional value. If you want the five star bougie experience go train at Macquarie Park. You will find that location once you’ve trained there a few times is a lot of smoke screens and mirrors. It also isn’t perfect but I don’t think that’s the point of the gym. I have multiple gym memberships and unless you’re paying a lot of money for a powerlifting gym, you are not gonna find a calibrated weight in any Fitness First, Anytime fitness or other. I would probably argue.. this is one of the best locations I’ve seen in terms of squat racks and the only location I’ve ever seen have power cages. This may or may not appeal to you. The gym could be a little bit difficult to find out first, appears to be ample parking and training on a Monday at 3PM I saw less than 10 other people in the gym. Take this with a grain of salt because maybe it gets busy. I just didn’t see it myself today. The gym has two levels, plenty of room to roll around and stretch and the far end of the gym is a wall of glass so lots of natural sunlight. Additionally there is some unreal basketball court situation happening as well on site. This does not appeal to me, but it was crazy busy and if you’re somebody who likes to shoot hoops, this might be something worth looking into. I will definitely return to this location.

Elvenny Flanagan I’ve signed up recently to Thornleigh and am loving it! The facilities are great and am loving the reformer classes. The staff are super friendly and I have to give a special shoutout to Lachie! He was super helpful in explaining the memberships to me and my Fiancée, he always greets us when we enter/leave and he’s always making sure the gym floor is spotless and functional for everyone! :)

Nigel Calmiano PLUS Fitness (Thornleigh) is a cool place to work out! Chris is a very helpful person to talk to. The Gym is clean, well maintained and has modern equipment. Within the Gym, the boxing lessons run by Rae(GRIT HOUSE FITNESS)) are fantastic. Rae goes to great lengths to tailor your boxing lessons to your level of fitness. For me in particular with all my aches and pains, Rae gives a lot of importance to my warm up and warm downs to keep me injury free. I would encourage anyone who wants to try boxing, that they contact Rae Nigel

Accel Plays A good gym, has all the high quality equipment you need. Friendly staff and great atmosphere. Has 2 very clean bathrooms and 2 showers, so you will not need to wait or be concerned with bad bathrooms.

Nic Clean, safe, members are super friendly, and has what you need for any workout style. Yvonne and Nick are amazing trainers and are always available to help. Cant ask for more from a gym!

Margaret May Well managed gym with clean facilities. Especially enjoy the classes. Plenty of variety for young and old, and the team are very good at what they do.

Shane MMA Nara is honestly one of the best in Sydney. She’s super knowledgeable, encouraging, and really pays attention to each person’s needs and form. I’ve seen such a difference since starting Pilates with her, feeling stronger, more flexible, and even my posture’s improved. Her classes are always challenging but really enjoyable, and the vibe she creates is so welcoming. Highly recommend.

Sandy Shi I’ve just completed 20 private sessions with Nara, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. She is patient, professional, and has an incredible eye for detail. Nara takes the time to correct form and tailor each session to my needs, so I always feel challenged but supported. After 20 sessions, I feel stronger, more flexible, and much more confident in my body. Nara makes Pilates both enjoyable and effective—I’m really grateful for her guidance.

Yin Xavier Cheng I first heard about Jiu Jitsu from my best friend, who invited us to join the Braddah Family. My son started training at just three and a half years old, and after only six months, I saw a remarkable transformation. He became more confident, engaged in class discussions, and built strong relationships with his classmates. The sense of community extends to the families, too. We all come together during lessons, and as we spend more time with each other, those connections grow deeper. One day, my friend suggested that it would be beneficial for parents to practice Jiu Jitsu alongside their teenagers. I wholeheartedly agreed, and that motivated me to join the Braddah Family myself. I truly appreciate how the coaches explain every technique with clarity and patience. Their support has made a significant impact on both my son and me. If youre looking for a welcoming community and an incredible way to grow together as a family, I cant recommend Braddah enough! Five stars all the way!

jatarbay My son and I recently joined Braddah BJJ academy and we’re loving it. He has trained at other places before and the care and quality of the instructors here is top level. I joined the adult classes too and I’m already getting in great physical shape while learning self-defence, having fun, and making great friends. The instructors are knowledgeable, supportive, and have an awesome attitude. Highly recommended!

rakshitha venkatesh Fantastic studio with an even better trainer. Every class is motivating, personalized, and effective. I feel stronger and more balanced after every session. Highly recommended!

Miranda Huang I’ve been with Hana having regular private lessons this year and my posture has been consistently improved. Hana is patient and I can feel her enthusiasm at teaching Pilates. High recommend!

Thao Nguyen Not gonna gatekeep here. I’ve tried many different Pilates studios but KX has consistently been the best out there. I was never an active person but so glad I finally found a form of exercise I love and it’s improved my strength and my posture so much. It’s never the same class twice, every class is different, but all classes are full body workout. And the trainers, omg these gorgeous girls are the absolute best. Their hearts are in it. Doing Pilates at KX is now something I look forward to everyday. ❤️

Annabelle Morris Always a great workout. The amazing team of trainers are always mixing up the workouts, always making 50 minutes go fast. I also must say they all know all things muscles and many are studying the field of sport science/physio. The facilities are modern, clean & parking is easy. The classes become addictive. I have felt a huge improvement in my strength since starting with KX last year.

James Speller Great place to train, all the gear is brand new. Two entrances, I recommend coming in around the side not off Pennant Hills Highway. The gym is a really nice cool temperature, the aircon is amazing, but might be a bit cold before you warm up. Be aware of noise restrictions, if you are a weight dropping potato, please continue to train elsewhere. Super quiet in the early mornings still, but evenings can get a little busy on Thursday-Saturday nights as all the cool dudes get their pump on. Beats out Hornsby, Chatswood and Pennant Hills as best gym in the region.

Christopher Chappell The best Gym in Sydney’s North West Amazing newly fitted Anytime. I think it seems to be a sister club to Pennant Hills. The newest Hammer Strength gear. Awesome layout and everything from the average gym goer to the advanced lifter needs. Handy, parking is great outside of peak times and the change rooms, bathrooms. Facilities and equipment are first class. Congratulations to the owners of this franchise. You’ve nailed it

Jonathan T I don’t usually leave reviews, but I feel compelled to share this experience due to how frustrating and disappointing it has been. About two months ago, I signed up with this boxing studio after completing a trial session. I was persuaded to purchase an introductory 8-session package, and the coach followed up regularly, urging me to make payment and book in quickly as spots were “filling up.” I decided to commit. Ahead of one scheduled session, I asked if we could move it a day earlier due to travel. I would have been completely fine if the coach had said no. Instead, he agreed and gave me a new time. I showed up early that morning, only to find the gym locked. I messaged him to confirm if the session was still on. I saw the iMessage “read” receipt that he read the message within three minutes but he never responded. I waited outside in the cold for 10 minutes, unsure whether I was being ghosted or if he was just late. I didn’t hear anything until days later, when I followed up, and was given a vague excuse about schedule changes. I let that incident go, as it wasn’t part of my original schedule. I eventually completed my first session the following week. But unfortunately, the same thing happened again before my second session: early morning, locked doors, no reply, waited in the cold unsure he was late or I just got ghosted again. This time, I texted saying I would like a refund, and the coach responded about an hour later, saying he had slept through his alarm. At that point, I realised I couldn’t continue training with a coach I couldn’t trust especially one who showed such a lack of professionalism. I requested a refund for the remaining 7 unused sessions. He agreed and promised to return the money within two weeks. That was more than a month ago. Since then, I have followed up multiple times with texts and phone calls, most of which have been ignored. The one response I did receive was simply another delay. After that , nothing. No refund, no communication, no explanation. I’m incredibly disappointed not just in the service itself, but in how poorly the situation has been handled. I paid in good faith and have been more than patient. To be ignored and left without resolution is beyond frustrating and, frankly, unprofessional. I wouldn’t want anyone else to go through this experience.

Albert Jayaputra Amazing Team, amazing trainer, amazing workouts! This place is truly where current and future champions are created ! Would definitely recommend this gym to anyone looking to take there training to the next level from beginners to advanced these guys are amazing!
