Where Locals Work Out: Best [16] Gyms and Fitness Centers in Hornsby, NSW

Jay S A good shopping center with a decent variety of stores and dining options. Most of the popular outlets are here, which makes shopping more convenient. It’s spacious and generally easy to navigate. Parking can be hit or miss during peak hours, but overall, it’s a great place for shopping and essentials.

s vivekananda Huge shopping centre in two interconnected buildings. Very popular place for shopping under one roof. Lots of easy walking, escalators at convenient locations. Car parking is not easy to find during peak hours. 3 hour free ticketless parking. Surrounding roads are not busy usually. All major supermarket chains are here. Several major departmental stores here too.

Reza Kahlaee A great indoor, outdoor aquatic centre with lots of fun facilities for children. great pools, changing rooms, showers, water slides and friendly staff. very reasonable prices.

Andrzej Popiolek Hornsby Aquatic and Leisure Centre Overall, the facilities at Hornsby Leisure Centre are very good, and I enjoy using them. However, the changing rooms and showers are in serious need of improvement. They often look dirty and poorly maintained, which makes it uncomfortable – especially to walk barefoot. The walls and general cleanliness in the shower area really let the place down. This is disappointing, because the rest of the centre is excellent. I hope management can look into improving the cleaning standards, as the showers deserve the same high standard as the rest of the facility.

nirdosh pokharel I had a terrible experience with Fitness First. I was told my membership cancellation fee would be $195, but they took $245 from my bank account without my permission. This is dishonest and extremely unprofessional. On top of that, I am based in Melbourne, but my membership was with Fitness First Hornsby, which made it impossible for me to continue. Due to medical conditions, I could not work out, yet the club showed zero understanding. This is by far one of the worst gyms in Australia in terms of customer service and transparency. I strongly recommend others think twice before joining Fitness First.

Leah Dal Bianco Team member Sam is super helpful and had excellent customer service. He definitely went above and beyond to assist me with signing up and providing all necessary membership information. This gym has great staff and facilities. Thank you Sam and thank you FF Hornsby.

Tee Khan .My son trains at Carrioti MMA in Hornsby, and the experience has been fantastic. Coach Alex has done an amazing job improving his striking and wrestling, and we’ve seen real progress in his skill and confidence. Alex is a knowledgeable, patient, and dedicated coach who really connects with his students. My daughter also does private one-on-one sessions with Coach Holly, and she absolutely loves it. Holly is great with kids and makes each session fun, focused, and encouraging. The gym has a welcoming and supportive atmosphere—highly recommend Carrioti MMA for families looking to get their kids into quality martial arts training.

Jake Dellow Great gym, amazing community, very welcoming and is perfect for various experience levels. Came here to start competing in kickboxing and the coaches were very knowledgeable with years of experience. Theres always something you can learn here regardless of skill level.

Carolina Parsons *Update: I got the reply and Im getting the bank statement with my mum and Ill send it through, so you guys can explain what happened then. Apparently all they care is money not healthy. My mum is 70 yo and she joined there in February and paid $250 for a membership. She lately has been feeling pain in her ankle and heels and have trouble walking, so I took her to our GP, she had some scanner and X-ray and found out she got some inflammation and need to have some injections. The doctor advised her to stop going to gym. We went to Fernwood to cancel and explain that. They requested a medical certificate, we went back to doctor and got one. They charged my mum $75 to cancel the membership. I think its absolutely unfair and they lack common sense in their rules. The bill was absolutely high for barely 3 months and on top of that she paid weekly for attending the gym. So I dont recommend to nobody. Im in total disbelief that she paid $250 for a membership and then was charged $75 to cancel for Medical Reasons. The problem my mum is way too nice to complain and people take advantage of that. So just go there if you have heaps of money to waste cause you will.

Aachal Mehkeri Amazing staff, amazing facility. Reformer Pilate classes have my heart. Overall, the gym has everything I needed. Staff is so kind and friendly. Love it.

Very Insightful Floor is soft. Deadlifts are impossible. Squat will be dangerous if you lift a bit above 100kg. Everywhere is a bit rusty and moldy. The plates havent been changed for years and bar metal grip has disintegrated for some reason.

Matt There used to be a broken scale and now that’s not even working, it’s all the while other clubs (Anytime) have InBodyScan! And now the cable pulldown knee rest is broken. Dear club manager, if you see there are so many negative comments, it doesn’t necessarily mean people are ungrateful or have personal problems with you. But it rather means they pay an amount for their membership for something in return and it’s their only option in their vicinity, but you don’t bother taking the responsibility of maintaining a proper gym. Please get your act together!

Anived Mishra I joined Hybrid around 3 months ago, and I’ve been going consistently for the last 2 months. I’ve already noticed improvements in my strength and overall fitness. The coaches Ben, Paul, Beckie, Lizzie are all fantastic, and the community is incredibly welcoming. Everyone is kind, supportive, and curious, creating a judgment-free environment that makes me feel proud of my journey and the community. I’m looking forward to continuing here for as long as I can and being part of this special community.

Jiali Kelm Ellie Grace My partner and I joined a year ago and have never looked back! over 10 yrs of training in a gym, I have never felt more included in a gym - many friendly faces and so much accountability! The coaches are very knowledgeable and always looking to add more value to each and every training session. Thank you so much for creating this space Paul & Ben!

Alyssa Legge The gym feels like a true community friendly faces everywhere! It’s always clean, with plenty of new equipment, even if space feels a bit tighter. Staff greet you warmly and keep things running smoothly. A great place to work out and feel welcome every single visit.

Leah Roberts Quiet, clean and well maintained. Plenty of cardio equipment, free weights and weight machines. Workout videos available in private room as well. 24hr convenience is amazing.im usually out of hours but when Ive met staff they have been supper friendly and helpful. Gym itself is 2 storey and photos are only of second story as there were people in lower level at time of review.

Aiman Khan I went to this gym for the past year and along with my family. Bill and Chrissy , the owners and managers of the gym are two of the most honest, caring and genuine people I have come across. They are truly dedicated to fitness for all and strive to keep the gym cost low. They are always there to offer help with anything and often train with us during classes. The environment of the gym is safe and friendly and all instructors are amazing. This is a place you can also send your teenagers too on their own without any worries! Sadly I had to switch to another gym as it was closer to my place and I had very little time in my schedule for gym but my husband and daughter would still attend. Bill was always kind and friendly whenever I ran into him. Highly recommend!

mehrnoosh karami Lovely staf, respectful and kind behaviour. The membership and casual visit price is the cheapest in the neighbourhood however old equipment and building specialy for group class is the weakness of this club.

Tonu Liiband Ive been training at Gracie Barra for five years, and its been an incredible journey. The instructors are highly skilled, professional, and dedicated to helping every student grow. Whether youre a beginner or an advanced practitioner. The atmosphere is welcoming and supportive, making it easy to stay motivated and push yourself to improve. The structured curriculum is one of the things I appreciate most, as it ensures steady progress in both technique and conditioning. The gym is always clean, well-maintained, and a great place to train. If youre looking for a place to learn Jiu-Jitsu, build discipline, and be part of a strong community, I highly recommend Gracie Barra!

mel conte Joining GB Hornsby has been a game changer. In just two months of committing to BJJ, Ive felt stronger, more focused, and part of something special. The welcoming vibe stood out from day one, I immediately felt like I belonged. The professors and coaches combine skill, encouragement, and genuine care, offering feedback that helps you grow. The team camaraderie is unmatched. Ive built real friendships with people who inspire me on and off the mats. If youre after fitness, self-defence for you or your kids, or simply a positive family-oriented community, GB Hornsby is the place. Highly recommend. OSS!

김은선 This studio is amazing! I love the Reformer Pilates classes here ~such a great vibe. The instructors are fantastic Hyemin and Summer are all so professional, supportive, and inspiring. Highly recommend! it’s my happy place.~^^

Serina I’ve been going to this Pilates studio for a little while now and I honestly can’t say enough good things about it. The staff are all super nice, friendly, and really accommodating. Our instructor, Summer, is absolutely amazing! She’s so patient with us, always encouraging, and takes the time to make sure we’re comfortable and doing things correctly. The studio has a really warm vibe, which makes it so much easier to show up and just enjoy the class.

Kate Kenda I recently attended a birthday party at Icon and was so impressed with the space, staff and organization. It’s such a great environment for kids to build confidence, coordination, and most importantly have fun. The coaches were energetic, friendly, and knew exactly how to keep the kids engaged and there was so many activities and equipment for the kids to use. Highly recommend for children’s parties or weekly gymnastic programs.

Adam Spencer Icon Gymsports has been an incredible place for our family over the years! The care and dedication of the coaches have created such a nurturing environment where children can grow, learn, and thrive. Our daughter, Isabelle, trained here for years and competed up to Level 7, and we are so grateful for the guidance, support, and encouragement she received every step of the way. The coaching staff is second to none, always pushing their athletes to be their best while ensuring they feel valued and supported. Our son, Timothy, has also had amazing opportunities through the Parkour, gym, and tumbling programs. The variety of activities offered here is fantastic, and its been wonderful to see him gain confidence, strength, and new skills in such a fun and positive environment. Thank you, Icon Gymsports, for all the years of dedication to our children’s development. We couldn’t have asked for a better place for them to train, grow, and be inspired!

Stephanie Jane Kev & the team at Soul Bay are incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and positive! The gym has a very friendly vibe and inclusive culture. Couldn’t recommend this place enough if you’re thinking about getting back into your fitness. Love it here!!

Hooman Shakernia I was looking for a gym that felt supportive rather than intimidating, and that’s exactly what I found here. The trainers are approachable and genuinely helpful—they don’t just coach, they actually take the time to understand where youre at and what you need. The small group sessions feel personal, and theres always someone around to check your form or give you a bit of encouragement when youre struggling. It’s a really positive space—no ego, no pressure, just people working hard and cheering each other on. Since joining, I have felt really supported and training feels sustainable. I’m really glad I found this place.

vinay vernekar Ryan and Ash have been absolutely amazing with my kids’ progress. The teaching here is truly best in class — the coaches are not only highly skilled but also incredibly kind and attentive. They take the time to recognize my child’s strengths and weaknesses, and work patiently to improve them. Their guidance and encouragement have made a huge difference. I couldn’t ask for better teachers for my kid — they are simply the best!

Ruby Chng Tan Coach Ryan has been amazing with my 10-year-old son, who’s trained with him since age 6. He’s patient, skilled, and makes jujitsu fun and meaningful. A fantastic coach for kids!

chen xiong We had a perfect birthday party in My Gym Hornsby last Saturday. My Gym decorated the site and set childrens table, provided kids a physical program and look after every child, so we parents can be fully free for chatting and joining in another activity. Children loves playing together, and parents are all satisfied with their service. During the whole preparation and party time, the communication between My Gym and us is efficient and smooth. Im really willing to recommend it to my friends.

Lucas Bennett The first time we came here, my son was instantly drawn to the hopscotch at the entrance — such a clever design! Once we stepped inside and found out it’s actually a children’s gym, I thought, wow, this place is brilliant. This time we came for a trial class, and I was really impressed by the two coaches, Mia and Matilda. Their energy was incredible — they led the kids through such a fun and engaging session. Thank you both for making it such a wonderful experience. While my son was in class, I had a moment to sit and look around. The wall art, the colours, and the inspiring little phrases around the centre gave me such a warm, positive feeling. Another parent told me that the art was designed and painted by your art teacher... so talented! This place truly feels like it’s made for children. Everything is so thoughtful and well-kept — even the cleanliness really stands out. Thank you for creating such a vibrant, welcoming space for families.

adam B Amazing gym! The people here are awesome, and the staff have a huge amount of knowledge and are always willing to help. The equipment is top-notch, and having extras like ice baths and a sauna is such a bonus. The easy access using your phone makes it super convenient to train whenever it suits. Try it, you’ll be surprised great value it really is. Couldn’t recommend it more!

Luke Fuller I’ve been training with Tonu for a couple of years now and have seen the best results. His programs and guidance to achieve your goals are second to none. He always follows up to see how you’re progressing and his unmatched care shines through in every session. I know he works with international professional athletes but he also helps the everyday person to get stronger and improve their health. In his new facility I love recovering after a workout with the fire and ice! The energy in the new gym is amazing
