Canberra Gyms

+1 for AIS .
Although UC is the most affordable option

just look for a decent gym. its the quality trainer you gotta be looking for !
build muscles, huge gains you rocky balboa (Y)

You could try the gym at the ANU, slightly more expensive than UC. But you get the added bonus of it not being in a demountable building..

Crossfit home gym, because Crossfit loves you.

I especially love this part:
How To Get Kicked Out Of Your Gym In Ten Days Or Less!
Day 1
Bring your own music – use a boom box – and turn
it up to inspiration levels and start working out. ACDC’s
“Thunderstruck” should do the trick.

Depends on what you ‘need’ a gym for. Have a look at the physique of an elite male gymnast. They don’t touch weights, all body weight exercises.

Get a decent pair of runners and find a set of monkey bars (there’s a gazillion around Lake G). Save yourself a ton of cash and watching weak as piss guidoes sit all night chatting on the machines you want to use

Club Lime also now has the advantage of paying for short periods – a few days at a time. Not sure about details, as I’ve had a long-term membership with them and so haven’t investigated the short-term stuff.

This is our onlime product.

…..especially after seeing an 18 month membership with personal trainer each session for $500.

its illegal to sell a fixed membership for 18 months in the ACT according to the ACT Fitness Industry Code of Practice…

the fixed term must be no more than 12 months.

We (Club Lime) currently offer 12 month paid in full memberships for $744 (one Gym), or $888 (access to all 7, plus aquatic facilities at CISAC)…or pay by the fortnight at $31 and $37 respectively.

if you don’t want a contracted membership, you can try our onLime product (www.onLime.net.au), memberships from 7 days at a time, and available at all 7 locations also.

We are now located at Belconnen (Oatley Court), CISAC Belconnen (Eastern Valley Way), Kaleen, Gold Creek Country Club, Gungahlin, Mawson and Tuggeranong.

I guess I can go to the gym at UC after classes seeing as there isn’t anything really down south with a good price range.

Just not keen on driving 30+ minutes to get to a gym during holidays is all 😛

Thumbs up for AIS from me. Also heard CIT Bruce and UC are good. But this is the opinion of me and buds who are just looking to be left to our own devices in a room with basic gear that’s not too busy. My partner is more interested in classes. She likes Northside at Dickson Tradies. Not the cheapest but not the most expensive either. It seems pretty good to me too, from when I tried it on a trial pass.
