Revo Fitness Claremont — Local services in Claremont

1/5 – Kicked out before I could even suffer in this shoebox of a gym

Tried to hit a workout at Revo Claremont, but apparently, they enforce a stricter dress code than a five-star restaurant. I’ve worn the exact same outfit to Revo Myaree countless times with zero issues. Walk in, scan my tag, start my workout—no drama. But at Claremont? Instant rejection. No hesitation. The second I stepped inside, they hit me with a “Sorry mate, you can’t train in that.” Like I was trying to bench press in a tuxedo.

I even told them I wear this at another Revo all the time, and they just shrugged. No explanation, no consistency, just vibes. Either Myaree is the lawless Wild West, or Claremont is run by the fashion police. At this point, I half expected them to pull out a measuring tape like an old-school Catholic school and tell me my sleeves weren’t the right length.

Honestly, probably a blessing in disguise. The gym is tiny and absolutely packed. You’d get more personal space at a music festival. Machines were either occupied or sweat-stained, and there were so many people crammed in that you could smell their pre-workout breath from across the room. The staff? Not helping. Just standing at the counter like nightclub bouncers, scanning for reasons to turn people away—probably because there’s literally no room left inside.

If you enjoy the thrill of rejection and the experience of lifting weights in a glorified storage closet, this gym is for you. Otherwise, save yourself the hassle and go somewhere that doesn’t make you feel like you just got turned away from an exclusive...

Before i say this i want to preface that i really like Revo Claremont, usually amazing customer service from employees and state of the art equipment. Unfortunately at approximately 5:00pm on 1.4.23 i received unsatisfactory customer service from an employee who was working at the front desk. As a 14-year-old, I had to sign in to access the gym. I approached the employee and provided her with my name. However, she appeared unhappy and sighed at the fact that I was there. She asked if I had a sweat towel, to which I replied that I did and proceeded to walk away. Before I could even take a step away, she called me back and requested to see my towel. Upon opening my bag, I realised that I had forgotten my towel, and I explained this to her. I also informed her that I had $3 for a sweat towel, (i had willingly purchased a $3 sweat towel previously). In response, she was both angry and rude, informing me that they had run out of $3 towels and that I would have to pay $15 for a towel. It was not my fault that they had run out of towels, and it seemed like a coincidence that they had run out of the cheaper ones. Not a great experience, has definitely negatively impacted my feelings towards the staffing at...

I have PTSD. It’s very embarrassing. It shows up weirdly. Some things are terrifying for no apparent reason. It wreaks havoc on my life.

To get help when I need it, I must try to disclose horrific trauma. The symptoms then get worse. My ability to interact, speak, or write deteriorates.

I haven’t used Revo since about Feb. I wanted to cancel, but I have been struggling with symptoms too intense if I try. I don’t exactly know why. Why would cancelling a gym membership cause me panic? Trauma is not in the thinking parts of our brain. If the individual who terrorised me for so long long was a body builder - gyms could cause me to stop breathing. It could happen in a delayed-onset fashion.

There is so many parameters that are so unlikely they appear fake. If you understand trauma - you know this is not the case.

I experienced a recent window-of-tolerance moment. Emailed Revo requesting to cancel my membership. Refused.

I emailed again explaining I am really struggling. Mention PTSD. Send photos.

My window-of-tolerance disappear. Mind go.

Try.

I can’t. I need...
