Macquarie University Sport & Aquatic Centre (MUSAC)

Quite flash for a uni gym! Great facilities, big space, friendly staff, and tasty very well priced coffee from the cage

Huge range of classes. Exceptional group fitness instructors. Awesome :)

I've been a member for over five years. Pros good range of equipment, good instructors, it's cheaper than fitness first if you are a student or an alumnus. Cons - change rooms overused by gross people who do not read signs ( eg ' dry area' means not getting the are wet!). Crowded when Uni starts- I don't know how they do inductions for the gym but I no longer go in the evenings or late afternoons. The supposed management too busy chatting to care! This is an ongoing issue. Seriously loud chicks chatting away while walking on treadmills ( so loud that I can't drown them out with my headphones). Popular classes are way too full - I counted 40-50 while much less in non popular ...read more

Fee of 25 dollars a week plus if u want childminding this is 2.50 per one and a half hour. there is only 2 hours of free parking which should b enough to get in and out of one class. Limited classes between 9 and 12 for someone who really wants to loose weight and dont care to yoga or tai chi. offer chilcare between 9 and 12 on top of that u have to book to ensure your place. A pain anybody with kids under 5 would know that it is an achievement to just b able to get out of the house and mewhere by a certain time [factoring meals sleep time and odd last minute poo bombs]. Casual visits r 23.50. when i enquired abt the chilcare to the staff just directed me on how to get there. So i wondered around by myself eventually couldnt find it gave up and didnt end up joing the gym. Having said that if u were a students the rates r good and they have plenty of classes. Otherwise i didnt feel that they were very considerate to mothers who dont work and therefore if they do sign up to go to ...read more

I am amazed the only review gives this place half a star, from someone who hasn't even been there! This is one of the best sport venues in Sydney, our family uses the gym, the squash courts, kids in swim school and gymnastics lessons...its got everything. Great Group exercise options, huge gym with excellent interactive equipment, one of the cleanest pools I've been in. Change rooms are a bit small, especially for swim school, but prices are very reasonable and training / sport options are vast. To be honest I wouldn't go anywhere else. Excellent admin for swim /gymnastics as well, can't fault it.
