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

Payvand Salari Very clean and good gym. Has everything I needed, including full squat rack with all supplementary equipment. Jenna helped me get my day pass and ensured the experience was 10/10. Would highly recommend this gym to anyone. At first a little hard to find but right next to the F45.

Pam Stevenson Great equipment and not too busy!! Has everything you need for a weights workout and some cardio too! Love it :)

Anna C It was the best decision to join Vision St Ives 5 years ago. Training regularly with Hayden has helped not only with my fitness but also self confidence. Before I had joined the Vision St Ives, I was afraid of going to the gym and train on my own. Now, I am actually excited about my every session. All the trainers are extremely knowledgeable, friendly but also push you hard! Thank you, guys!

Annalisa Contos I’ve been training with Vision St Ives for over a decade. Having the 1:1 support has been invaluable for meet to maintain my strength without injuring myself

Marc de Silva From the moment you enter the clinic you are greeted with friendly and helpful staff. Appointments are easy to make (and change if needed!) on line or by phone. A big team of physios who are attentive and very much focussed on your care. A well equiped gym for solo or group follow up exercises along with a separate Clinical Pilates room. There is even a room for sports massage if that is indicated. Flexible hours to fit around any work schedule. And if you wish to indulge after your appointment, there is a Viet bakery right next door for coffee, cake and more (see my review of Graces Bakehouse).

Scott Campbell An outstanding practice indeed. Right form the minute you walk in to be greeted by Di and Les to the wonderful care of the physios. I have been lucky to have Hayden looking after me after a series of complex injuries including a traumatic brain injury, pacemaker recovery and back issues. He is outstanding in every way and I am lucky to be seen as a patient by him.

A P This is by far the best studio with the highest trained instructors of all the pilates studios Ive tried in both Oz and the USA (and Ive trained in pilates from different course providers so I have an idea on what to look for in quality - but I am not an instructor, just loved learning). They are also incredibly lovely people and enjoy what they do - so the environment is welcoming and friendly. At other studios, I often get to the point where I feel Im stronger than what the instructor is ready to accomodate in the group class. At Village Pilates, they are challenging classes (still allowing for all abilities and levels) but I know Im being pushed to go deeper and gain strength, balance and agility - if Im in the mood for it. Also, Im 5mo. pregnant and they are SO welcoming to me to continue to be in their classes (Reformer, Mat and Barre classes as well as their smaller group classes). They work with me to adjust with moves that are not easy or good to do while pregs. Shout out especially to Lisa, Emily and Hannah!! I am so thankful for this studio to be accepting of me throughout this pregnancy - as Im feeling stronger and more confident with each day closer to birth. I was nervous I would be a burden with needing too many adjustments but they make me feel at ease and confident in the class to do what I can and be part of the group. Thank you team - youre legends!!

Cissy Fu Ive just hit 250 classes at Village Pilates St Ives, and I can honestly say it’s been an incredible journey! This is the best place to kickstart my morning. The instructors are super knowledgeable, supportive, and always keep the energy high—even at the crack of dawn! Every class is a perfect mix of challenge and fun. The studio has such a welcoming, relaxed vibe, which makes coming here feel like a treat rather than just a workout. Whether youre a beginner or a seasoned Pilates pro, theres something here for everyone. I am ready for more lessons to come! Highly recommend!

Kyle This local gym is my absolute favorite! Theyve got top-notch equipment, like really modern stuff, and the staff is incredible. Theyre so friendly and helpful, always making me feel welcome. The trainers are super knowledgeable and genuinely care about your progress. If you want a fantastic workout experience, I cant recommend this gym enough!

D D Amazing gym and a great location with a great community friendly vibe. Highly recommend this gym with a large amount of different type of equipment that can conquer each and every type of workout. Grab a friend and workout with full focus and a sense of accomplishment. Highly recommend

FEI WANG We are blessed to have the trainer “Afser “ in the gym. I have Been in the gym more than a year, and he is very engaging with his music and training.

ama mam I would like to know why the morning trainer has to blast his personal speaker in the whole gym overcoming everyone music in their headphones and doesn’t lower the volume when asked to? THIS IS EXTREMELY DISRESPECTFUL! This is the guy. Really dude to blast his music from his phone for no reason.

SAMS My son Joseph and I train at SJJA St Ives and we love it. The coaches are super friendly and really know their stuff. They’re awesome with the kids and make training fun. Joseph’s grown so much in confidence since we started. It’s a great vibe all round – good people, good energy. Definitely recommend if you’re thinking of giving BJJ a go!

Tobin Lottering My son, Caden enjoys training at SJJA St Ives. He is always keen to go training. There is a good cross section of students his age to train with. His skill has definitely gone up a level since training there. Prof Adam is a good instructor and takes the time to correct students technique individually. The facility has a nice big matted area, so plenty of space to have competitive rolls.

Michael Levenston Great place for the kids to learn gymnastics, friendly staff

David Tobias Ralph Great staff and facilities, both my kids have loved the gymnastics program

Fred Canis In the warm and welcoming setting of her home, a Pilate session with Irina is always filled with good and happy vibes! Irina has an acute eye for body movements and positioning. She ensures that the body is perfectly aligned and a session is as much mental than physical. Irina brings her learnings from Reflexology and Reiki into the session too. I always feel stronger and better after each workout.

Clarie Leung Ive been attending Pilates next door for many months now and lessons are always exciting and fun!! Irina is a great teacher, she will teach you how to correct yourself for better posture and better habits, and you will always feel calm and rewarded after each session!

Myung Y Song This studio is a truly private and quiet space that feels like it’s just for me. Parking is easy, and the location is simple to find, which makes every visit stress-free. After each session, they serve a cup of tea that helps my body relax and unwind — it’s the perfect way to finish the workout. The female instructor is very kind and professional. She creates a training plan that fits my body and my condition, so I never feel pressured or pushed too hard. Thanks to her gentle and personalised coaching, I can exercise comfortably and safely every time. I’m really happy I found this place, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful, private Pilates experience.

B-Real Cy-hill I’ve been training at the gym for years and built a strong body — but I also became quite stiff without realising it. That’s when I met Nabi, a professional and caring instructor who immediately picked up on what I was missing and started guiding me toward better flexibility.

Helena Dashwood I have been working with Jess for the last few months and I have nothing but positive things to say about her and the work we have done together. Jess is very reliable, has an attention to detail and she is very organized. In terms of the training, Jess is very patient, she has great ideas for alternatives for when you can’t do an exercise and is always focused on having a positive mental attitude. Thanks Jess!

Matthew Jigalin Ive been training with start me up personal training for over 5 years and I havent looked back. Wayne is so professional in what he does and really tailors the training to your level, interest, talent or sport. When i began with Wayne I was over 120KG and quite overweight. Fast forward to today and Ive lost over 20KG, feel in control of my body and training, and now regularly exercise and play soccer thanks to the work from Start me Up over the years. Start Me Up provides not just the training, but tips on diet, lifestyle and overall just a nice friend to chat to whenever you train. Couldnt recommend SMU enough - Ive had nothing but positive experiences.
