2008 NSW Medium Fitness Business of the year as voted by Fitness Australia

Welcome to the brand New City Gym! Following extensive renovations, City Gym has been transformed into the health club of the future. City Gym now offers three levels of facilities comprising three studios, two fitness rooms and an entire floor for strength training.

The New City Gym has been designed to give the members many more choices with their fitness training. Whether you enjoy indoor cycling, mind and body classes, boxing or simply watching Foxtel on your own personal TV screen, we can find a way to keep you fit doing what you enjoy most. After your workout spend time relaxing in the steam room or why not sip on a latte in our downstairs lounge area. In a hurry and need to check your emails? Log on and surf the web for free too! City Gym is more than just a health club, it’s a lifestyle choice. 

Whatever your age or fitness background, you will be welcomed by a friendly team of staff, personal trainers and group exercise instructors who helped us earn the title of "NSW Medium Fitness Business of 2008".
In spite of all the changes City Gym has recently undertaken, the sense of community and the serious attitude to exercise remains unchanged since City Gym was established 30 years ago. 
Ask about our special programs too: the 12 week weight loss challenge. Let our PTs help you shed those extra kilos!
We also have a program for the over 60s; Living Longer Living Stronger. Check out the City Gym magazine for comps, social events and fitness advice (available on our website).

    I have reluctantly had to cancel my membership with Justin at City Gym after many years, due to moving overseas...

    When I first joined City Gym, I was no figure of fitness and was very uninspired by most gyms I had been to previously. I was lucky enough to be welcomed by Justin and his friendly, and always helpful staff.

    Throughout my years I achieved my fitness goals (overweight 120kg to a very healthy and toned 90-95kg) with a champion of a personal trainer, named Mr.Paul Haslem. I was also assisted along my journey with food advise and training advise by other excellent trainers such as Sam Karam and Steve Curran.

    The great thing about this gym is that there was always someone to help out.

    This gym had an extensive range of weights and weight machines, great group fitness classes, massive stretching area, cardio equipment and heaps of other excellent facilities. It also had great music played throughout the weights and cardio areas.

    As I said, I have now moved overseas and have not been able to find a gym that comes close to City Gym. The environment that Justin and the team at city gym
    creates is a motivating, energetic and friendly atmosphere that they should be proud of.

    I definately recommend this gym if you want the best!

    Thanks very much City Gym.

    I wanted to patronise a small business instead of a big fitness chain, so I proudly decided to take a stand and become a member of City Gym. Much to my disappointment, the place is one of the worst in Sydney in my opinion - VERY small, VERY crowded, and VERY unfriendly.

    The gym has already exceeded its capacity long ago, but it still accepts new members. As a result, you simple cannot use its facilities most time of the day, due to the ridiculous amount of people queueing for every equipment.

    The only reason one would want to work out there would be to make a point against the takeover from the big fitness chain that closed all other gyms in the area.

    But this was not reason enough for me, I ended up breaking my contract with City Gym and paying the price - staying was not an option.

    City Gym represents lots of good times for me, most of all having first seen my now partner of just over fourteen years now, working out on a bench press which is still there today.
    What I like most of all at City Gym is the feeling of comradery, of belonging to a gym very much like a club. There are still some members that I first met at the gym in the 1980's, who I still occasionally see at the gym and have a chat to. What I like is that one can run into someone on the street somewhere, as happened only this week, and being asked "what are you doing here, why aren't you working out". That gives a real feeling of belonging to this club.
    One of the reasons I initially joined City Gym was that it was open 24 hours during the week, and being a morning person it suited me to start at 4AM. Since renovations last year and the new opening hours, I now commence gym at 5AM as the doors open. I have readjusted my training to suit the new hours of shorter training sessions by training an extra session a week.

    This year the gym advertised a weight loss program which caught my eye. The self managed program ran for a twelve week period, each entrant mentored by an allocated City Gym personal trainer.
    I thoroughly enjoyed the program and was able to reduce my weight by almost 10kgs. in the period by better managing my diet without being "silly". I also incorporated cardio exercise to balance the weight training that I had always done. One of the things I did look forward to was to see the results gained between weigh-ins. I thought it was a lot of fun, and am please to report that I am maintaining the weight loss achieved during the program, It has certainly made me feel a lot healthier and I now want to lose more weight.

    Ive been Skulpted!

    Its 5 am and Im at City Gym! Anyone who knows me appreciates the incredible change this entails. Not only am I here, Ive been coming regularly for over 4 monthsand heres the most remarkable thingIm enjoying it. The results of this are evident; Ive lost over 26kgs which, for me, translates into 21.5cms off my waist. I look and feel years younger and, as I work in cardiology, I know that my overall health is remarkably better in just a few months.

    It almost happened by accident. I went to the fitness Expo at Darling Harbour. (Ive joined gyms and been a serial starter of fitness programs for years.) The City Gym stand was staffed by, among others, Sam Karam. I could see after chatting to him that he was serious about getting results for his clients and I signed up. Little did I know that he would keep me on track, never miss or alter a session and bring every minute of his 17 years experience as a trainer to bear on my usual lack of continuing commitment to programs. Between that and the fresh and interesting food I get daily from Skulpt, hes managed to change my life dramatically for the better.

    Will I continue to make these changes a part of my life? Absolutely! Thanks Sam. Im looking forward to seeing you at City Gym tomorrow.

    I had to cancel my membership after a very brief period because in my opinion 1. the staff is unfriendly, unhelpful and unprofessional, and 2. the weight area is tiny, cramped, windowless and always overcrowded (you will have to wait to use whichever equipment you need).
    The staff was *always* reluctant to disengage from conversation with mates to clarify any queries/requests by me and other non-mates, treating the interruption in personal chats as a major inconvenience.
    I once foolishly asked a staff member to enforce their own policy of members wiping the equipment after use, after one such member refused to do it. I immediately reported it to the person at reception, pointing the member that breached the gym's hygiene policy. The staff member reluctantly and annoyedly claimed he would talk "later" ('why not now?') to the person. The member in question worked out for 40 mins longer, without being talked to - but was enthusiasticaly exchanged good-byes by the staff member upon leaving.

    I love the new look City Gym in Crown St, Darlinghurst. They have so much equipment and such a great fun atmosphere. Plus I can watch Foxtel on the treadmill, makes exercise almost bearable. 4/5
