Fantastic experience: Just tried out BFT Blockhouse Bay for the first time and was really impressed. The coaches are super friendly, motivating, and helpful. The space is awesome, clean, modern, and with plenty of parking out the back. The owners are great and have created a really welcoming vibe. Even as a first-timer, I felt right at home. Highly recommend! Brad Proctor Kakapo Business Sales
Thanks for the awesome review Brad! So cool to hear you felt right at home. Come and try our Lower Body Hyper class today . It was great having you in.
Fantastic experience: I hate going to gyms, it's not my thing - that's what I used to say.... I had seen the advertising for the 8 week challenge at BFT and thought I should do it but I always found an excuse and never joined. I was stuck in a rut going backwards, diets were not working and I felt down every day with a combination of being overweight, menopause and a long term concussion which was mucking around with my brain - I was over going to the physio, doctors & specialists - I saw the advertising for the challenge again, and thought this is it, I have to do something drastic so I joined up that day & started the the very next day. It was quite nerve wracking to start with, however Jess, the coaches & other people doing the classes were very encouraging & are really helpful with technique & what to do. I really surprised myself with how much I enjoyed the classes & now go as often as I can - it is a different way of going to the gym, far more enjoyable & achievable. I would highly recommend joining BFT Blockhouse Bay, I feel so much better every day, 50 classes done, 5kg gone, body fat is going down & clothes are starting to fit better - I'm really enjoying this lifestyle change, everything feels better & it's a great community to be part of. Dare I say it, I might even love going to the gym......never thought I would ever say that - it was way out of my comfort zone, but not anymore.....
Ange, you have been so inspiring to watch. We have seen your confidence grow so much and we can see that you really do enjoy being at the gym! You have been so consistent and your results reflect your dedication, grit and drive! We are proud of you!
Can't wait to see you at your 250 milestone and beyond.
Fantastic experience: I’ve always been a gym by myself kind of guy but thought I’d give BFT a try, happy to say I’ve been converted. Trainers are inviting and experienced, equipment is very well looked after and the atmosphere is always positive. I don’t hesitate to recommend BFT Blockhouse Bay to others.
Big thanks Mitchell! Love that you gave it a go and now you’re part of the crew—appreciate you backing the team and the vibe!
Fantastic experience: Amazing place to be No session is the same and I love how they have a plan in place to work your whole body through the week. The trainers are top notch and the people are amazing too Looking for a new home? Come to BFT Blockhouse Bay
Big thanks Rachel! Love that you’re feeling the variety and the good vibes—makes it all worth it.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member at BFT Blockhouse Bay for the past 6 months after a 5 years hiatus from any gym, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. The coaches are amazing, knowledgeable, and always willing to help. Whether it’s advice on form, equipment usage, or goals, they’re there for support. The classes are motivating, well-run, and suitable for all fitness levels. Over the past 6 months I’ve seen great progress in my fitness, and I credit that to the encouraging atmosphere and solid routine I’ve been able to maintain here. Highly recommend this gym to anyone looking for a welcoming and effective place to work on their fitness goals.
Big thanks Gemma! So cool to hear you’ve found your groove again—love having you as part of the crew.
Fantastic experience: Excellent workouts, great coaches who motivated you and push you to achieve results thank you
Big thanks Rupali! Pumped to hear you're feeling motivated and smashing your goals with the crew!
Fantastic experience: BFT alone is great but when you mix the BFT philosophy with the best team of Coaches you get BFT Blockhouse Bay. It’s no longer a chore to go to the gym, it’s like coming home and hanging with your family for 45 min every day! Thanks for pushing me to smash my goals and taking me and Stella in like your own!
Big thanks Charlotte! It honestly means a lot to hear that—you're such a big part of the fam and Stella’s just the cherry on top!
Fantastic experience: If you're looking to lose weight, feel stronger, and make a real change—not just physically but emotionally too—I can’t recommend Jess, Andy, and the amazing team at BFT Blockhouse Bay enough. I started in February 2024 and joined my sister who was loving the gym and encouraged me to join, feeling unsure but hopeful with nothing to lose I joined and have never looked back. Since then, I’ve lost over 15kg, gained muscle, completed 300 sessions, completed x4 8 week challenges and discovered a version of myself I have never seen before. The trainers, the members—everyone is so genuine, uplifting, and supportive. BFT has become my safe space, my motivation, and a huge part of my journey. One of the biggest goals I was working towards was getting onto the public IVF waiting list—a deeply personal and emotional milestone. With the support of my family, friends, and the BFT team I finally got there in August. And then in December, I was named the Summer 8 week challenge overall female winner in the 35–45 age category. This journey has been about so much more than fitness. It’s about strength, resilience, hope, and finding people who lift you up every step of the way. If I can do it anyone can, you just have to start.
Big thanks Jane
We’ve honestly loved being part of your journey—your grit and heart inspire us all every day.
Fantastic experience: I have been Training at BFT now for 3+ years, the workouts have got me into the best shape of my life at 37 years old, the coaching is something I have never experienced before, they are all amazing and committed to helping me to improve, stay focused and enjoy the workouts. However, the icing on the cake is the community and the awesome people I have made friend within the gym! Thanks' BFT BHB
Big thanks Andy! Been awesome having you part of the crew these past few years and love seeing how much progress you’ve made—appreciate you heaps mate!
Fantastic experience: I have found BFT BHB is more than just a gym. I joined 3 years ago to stay active a few times a week but have found myself there 5 times a week because the programmes are well structured, coaches fun and friendly and the vibe amazing! It is a real community and a routine I always look forward to.
Big thanks Sandra! Love that BHB's become such a solid part of your week—your energy adds so much to the crew!

Fantastic experience: BFT Blockhouse Bay has completely changed the way I approach fitness! The sessions are always high-energy, well-structured, and led by coaches who genuinely care about your progress. I love the variety in the training blocks—there’s always something new to challenge and motivate you. The community vibe is awesome too; everyone’s super supportive and encouraging.

Fantastic experience: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Bft Blockhouse Bay is an outstanding gym! The facilities are top-notch, the workouts are varied and challenging, and the coaches are supportive and attentive. I love the friendly community vibe here. Highly recommend for anyone serious about their fitness journey!
Cheers for the kind words Pritesh! Pumped that you’re feeling the love from the workouts coaches and crew—it’s what we’re all about.
Negative experience: I tried buying the trail, didn't let me (payment declined). A weeks later that payment was taken off my bank without any notice, which got refunded. Two weeks later 2 amount for around $85 dollars was charged for no reason saying, membership fees. They refund partly, took $40+ as fees. Had a conversation over the phone about this and was rude. Poor customer experience.
Hi Atul, I'm sorry to hear that your experience was negative. It seems there was some confusion with the payment process. After your trial, a membership was also purchased, which led to the charges. The fees that weren’t refunded are from Ezypay, our payment provider, and unfortunately, we don't receive that money.I apologize if the phone conversation felt rude—that's not how we want to treat anyone. We’re taking your feedback seriously and will work on improving our communication.Thanks,BFT BHB
Fantastic experience: Anyone who knows me ♂️ knows that I’m ♂️ not really a gym ♂️ goer……. Well, apparently things can change I ♂️ was determined to make regular exercise ♂️ part of my life so something had to change…….. I ♂️ settled on the BFT Blockhouse Bay studio as it was walking♂️distance from home and went along for an initial tryout late last year ️ Just over six 6️⃣ months later I’ve ♂️ completed my ♂️ 100th session and I ♂️ am absolutely loving it!

Thanks for the review Rich! We love having your smiley face a part of our gym! Keep up the awesome work, you gym goer!!
Fantastic experience: I love everything about this gym and I'm not just saying this to be sweet this gym is so different from most gyms! I've signed up with. The classes are definitely one of my best experience ever! for a big gal like myself! the pt are really good at what they do supportive and make the gym feel like home for new comers. Not only that but you get a good sweat out at the end of the session was it easy? would I do it again BIG YES!! Because the weights lifted me instead I highly recommend this gym if your in the area ! You will meet kind and generous people and enjoy the classes like I did so look no further and just come along to any open day or go see them from the day I step foot in bft I knew I am where I'm supposed to be. The atmosphere in the classes are definitely like family felt comfortable working out in a big group and because I can't beat the weights and the workout numbers I'm coming back to do better than my 1st day with you guys lol thank you so much bft ! I can't wait to smash my goals with you guys "I LOVE THIS GYM WOOHOO"
We are so stoked to hear! Cant wait to see you in studio and help you on your way to smashing those goals!
Fantastic experience: The most amazing, energetic and inspiring gym I've been to! The staff is amazing, knowledgeable and make you feel so welcome. On top of that, arguably the best part is the community. The people here are amazing!! Going to class is the best part of my day. If you're in doubt, it is worth every single dollar. The feeling of getting stronger and fitter is the best!
Fantastic experience: Wanted to get into fitness routine after taking a long break. Jess was very helpful and motivating while giving the information. Whatever she said is true about this place being a energetic, motivating, welcoming community and inclusive place for all genders and body types. The coaches are very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable and guides you through the workout. I would highly recommend this place if you are just starting out or want to establish a fitness routine.
Oh thanks Sayali! We love having you a part of our community! We have all admired your commitment and dedication!Your BFT Team!
Fantastic experience: A BFT member visiting from BFT Truganina, Melbourne. Kura, Richard, John and Robin all made me feel very welcomed here at BFT BHB. They certainly do know how to welcome anybody and everybody walking through their doors. Even their fellow members were just as friendly and welcoming. I absolutely enjoyed every session that I had booked in for and attended here, I just loved the energy that everyone has and the atmosphere is just overall positive and bubbly vibes!! Thanks so much again to the amazing Coaches mentioned above for the friendly conversations, taking the time to engage and get to know me, and also for the helpful tips.

Fantastic experience: First time leaving a google review and BFT Blockhouse Bay deserves it! This gym run by Jen and Jamie Brear provides a unique and different gym experience for me. The sense of community is great - diversity and difference is celebrated. As an over 55 year old I feel supported and encouraged in my fitness journey. There is a unique sense of belonging at BFT BHB. Coaches are knowledgeable, respectful and kind. Robin, Kura, Rich, John, Ash and Shane all have different talents and styles so are able to connect with members well. I would highly recommend BFT Blockhouse Bay to anyone returning to fitness and anyone returning in their 50’s!! Tino pai BFT BHB

Hi Rafiq, we haven't had you in studio yet. Would love to know more about your review.
Fantastic experience: ABSOLUTELY LOVEEE! I couldn’t recommend a more inclusive and loving gym environment. No matter what skill level you are - ‘gym enthusiast’ to ‘have never set foot in one’ - you will feel at ease as soon as you walk through the doors. Jen and Jamie are the most kind and caring people you will meet and all the trainers are absolutely amazing! They ensure you are getting a good sweat up but doing it safely! They want to make sure you come back ☺️ If you’re looking for your next gym, be sure to check them out - they’re the best!!
Awwww, thanks for the kind words, Chitty! We work hard because we love our people/community! We want the best vibes and best results for everyone! We love having you as part of our BFT BHB family <3
Fantastic experience: Never been one to step outside of my comfort zone and try different gyms, but I can confirm it was the best decision I made! The staff and other members of the gym are SO friendly and super nice - its actually very refreshing. At most gyms you can feel like just a number, but at BFT BHB you get that sense of community, that other places lack, and the staff make it a priority to know your name (not so they can call you out if you're not doing the work haha). Give it a try for yourself - you wont regret it <3
Wow, your words just put a huge smile on our faces! We love hearing your POV and it's so nice to know that we are achieving what we work so very hard for... it's all about our members and making sure everyone feels welcome and a sense of belonging :)
Fantastic experience: Amazing classes, knowledgeable trainers and super friendly members. Love that at BFT I can focus on my form and progress with not just fitness but overall strength! Definitely worth a try :)
Thanks for your review, Deena! Yes, we love the strength component too; and with this comes a focus on technique! Better technique means better results! Our variety of classes not only helps develop lean sexy muscle, but we also work to improve all 3 energy systems, all 3 types of muscle fibres, and range through all 3 planes of movement. ;-)
Fantastic experience: Absolutely love everything about BFT Blockhouse Bay. Awesome members and awesome trainers. A happy environment always. I can see a better version of myself thanks to BFT BHB :-)
Reenal, this is music to our ears! This is everything we strive for as your home away from home!! It's more than just fitness, it's a community and holistic approach to wellbeing and health! <3
Fantastic experience: This gym is amazing. I love the vibe. Good music .great people and trainers that push you when you need it
Fantastic experience: BFT BHB is the place to go if you're looking for great coaches, an amazing range of classes, an inclusive atmosphere and to achieve amazing results.
Thank you for your glowing review, Colleen! We love having you as part of our BFT BHB family <3
