Fernwood Fitness

WARNING. do not sign up to this place, my grandmother was very sick and on another note i had to quit my job to be there for her as much as possible because she was on her last stage of cancer.. i wrote a very nice email to these people explaining my unfortunate circumstances and they had no sympathy or leniency what so ever ! they still demanded that i pay the money that was in aries.. mind you i didnt even use the gym!!! them waving the fees would of kept me as a happy person and when my circumstances were all sorted i would of returned to the gym as per normal.

Really disappointed. Turned up for the introduction session but they booked us in for personal training instead. Our personal trainer didn't check our file but went ahead with the session (didnt realise we were new). We went ahead with the session anyway and by the end my arms and legs were shaking badly but she didnt say anything so i assumed it was fine and kept going.
Spent the next few days in a lot of pain (which I was expecting)-- But then my arms began to swell!! I went to the Doctor on Monday and it turns out I had rhabdomyolysis.
We had booked another introductory session for this morning. We arrive to find that the same trainer was at an appointment and our session was basically cancelled, and Fernwood had neglected to tell us this.
At this point I DEFINITELY won't be seeing a personal trainer again and will probably cancel my membership entirely. For the price they ask you would expect a trainer who actually cared.

**WARNING! DO NOT JOIN FERNWOOD PARRAMATTA!** They just want to take your money and forget you exist.

I joined because they were 24/7 and I asked about parking and I was told that Westfield’s Aird Street parking (right next to the gym) was open all night and I wouldn’t have any troubles. I paid $70 for the access key so that I could use the club anytime of day/night only to find that the car park actually closed at 10pm and all of the street parking is ‘no ...read more

A pleasant alternative for women and girls who just want to focus on their fitness in peace, being a women-only club. This gym has friendy staff but not much yoga and only one pilates class per week! It caters well to people who are physically able but instructors don't really accommodate anyone outside the standard fitness norm. Disappointingly little on offer that's suitable for older women with restricted joint movement, otherwise a fun and friendly buzzy gym in a handy and safely accessible location. If doing boxercise try to hook up with a regular partner or you might end up boxing air - the trainer is meant to work with 'spare wheels' but usually just tells them why she can't.
