Monash Sport — Local services in Melbourne

Excellent gym equipment - has both weights and machines in great condition. I was very impressed with the fact that the gym has a trap bar deadlift and an assisted pull-up machine (not a lot of gyms seem to have this!). The gym has a small boxing studio too. Staff and personal trainers are friendly, patient and generally helpful. The gymnasium courts (used for indoor soccer and basketball and volleyball) are also clean and in good condition. The yoga and pilates classes were also brilliant.

Outdoors - the synthetic grass used for touch rugby training was good and even has a solid 100m sprint lane for those who want to work on their sprints. The dirt track is also nice for walking around, and the footy oval is good for running. As someone who consistently attended this place while I was studying at Monash University, walking past this place is nostalgic.

However, the gym is not 24/7. It closes at 10pm on weekdays and 7pm on weekends, and the staff are required to kick you out when they are closing. And prices are a bit expensive. One personal trainer also gave me a strength & conditioning plan that a semi-professional athlete told me would be too taxing on my central nervous system (which I also agreed with). Also, if you are going to the weights gym, it is a bit of a walk from...

These guys are absolute clowns. They refused to provide tape to my friend for his earrings for a basketball game on the grounds that they could not exhaust their first aid supplies despite us being paying students at the university and paying the full registration fee for the game (As if a university receiving millions of dollars in fees and grants cannot provide some basic bandaids). Instead, he was referred to the Monash Merchant to buy some. Not only that but after registering for a basketball season in open men's at Monash, we were not included in the fixture. Upon calling, we were told that they had simply forgotten to put us in the fixture, and we were given a bye in the first week AND the third week, in spite of paying full registration. My advice to you if you are planning on starting a sports team at Monash is to look elsewhere, where the competition is run properly and comparatively less expensive. Monash has once again proven they are a business looking to extort their students out of as much money as possible. UPDATE: They also screwed up our...

We were playing 2/3 times a week regularly for months now and never face this kind of problem. Today 5th of September, we were told off for playing 3-4 minutes extra by an elderly women at the reception when returning the net. Before us was a group playing futsal and left the court 5 minutes late. Then we set up nets and stuff , took us approximately 3-4 minutes. Yes we did leave the court 5 minutes later than the booked time as there were no one. Then we reach to the reception 10 minutes late as we were changing clothes then we had to line up again at the reception as there were couple infront. By the time we returned the nets it was 15 minutes late . I mean no one actually would be petty enough like her that we play 5 minutes extra or she's probably in a bad mood ? Idk Others would even let us play in the early or late if the courts are free. Was very frustruated and just wanna let...
