Lovely lovely place to be even if it’s just for some stretching or meditation or a morning breakfast. Thanks for the dedication and making this gym absolutely beautiful I love you all
Fantastic experience: Day 1 I joined Fernwood Tuggeranong as I am new to the area and I wanted to make friends whilst getting back into shape, personal favourite - Pilates. I have been to a range of all different classes. Definitely getting good value for my membership. Affordable membership, fantastic introduction to using the equipment, girls on the counter are cheerful and on hand to ask questions on anything to do with the classes equipment etc. so far soooooo good!!!
Fantastic experience: This is my first time at a women's only gym and I don't think I'll ever leave. I love all the beautiful touches, so much thought goes into the things like classes, schedules, breakfasts, change rooms. I love the focus on all areas of fitness, like mobility, mindset, rest & recovery and strength

Fantastic experience: I'm so grateful to have Fernwood Tuggeranong in our community – it's such an amazing gym! There's a great variety of classes, but my favourite part is definitely the Reformer Studio. Each day is a new theme, and I try to make it to at least 4-5 classes a week.
Fantastic experience: Love Fernwood Fitness Tuggeranong . Great place to train with awesome brand new equipment. And a great place to meet like minded women
Fantastic experience: Very very impressed with this club. Excellent equipment with the latest technology. Brilliant working air conditioner, love the virtual classes which allow me to train whenever I want to. Attention to detail at this gym. Love it. Thank you Fernwood Tuggeranong. Keep up the great work.
Fantastic experience: Amazing facilities, outstanding staff, so many classes to choose from. I am part of an amazing tribe of Fernies. I can’t speak highly enough of Fernwoood, it has become my home away from home. My husband thinks I am having an affair with Jim ️
Fantastic experience: Fernwood has become a special place for me, not just for its beautiful environment but for the sense of community and personal growth it offers. The welcoming atmosphere, where everyone feels like a part of something bigger, is a huge reason why I love it so much. Whether it’s the friendly staff, or the commitment to health and wellness, Fernwood provides a space where I can truly thrive. The variety of classes and the individualized attention I receive make every visit feel personalized and motivating. It’s not just about the workouts—it’s about the overall experience of supporting my well-being, both physically and mentally. I’ve found that Fernwood is more than a gym; it’s a place that encourages growth, empowerment, and balance in every aspect of life. Whenever I’ve lost momentum or gotten stuck in my mind, Fernwood is always there as a place where I can restart. It’s a safe space to reset, refocus, and get back on track with my goals, without judgment. The sense of belonging and the inspiring atmosphere keep me coming back, helping me to break free from mental blocks and achieve things I didn’t think were possible. One of the most incredible things I’ve found at Fernwood is true friendship. I am blessed to have built strong, loyal friendships with people who’ve been there for me through some of the hardest times. These are the kind of friendships that go beyond just sharing workouts—they are the “thick and thin” kind of friendships, the ones that support me both inside and outside the gym. It’s something I deeply cherish, and it makes my connection to Fernwood even more meaningful. Above all, Fernwood makes me feel like I matter. It’s a place where I am seen, not just as another member, but as an individual with my own journey. That feeling of being recognised and valued has been a huge part of why I continue to love it—because it reminds me that I am worthy of care, support, and growth.

Fantastic experience: Great Gym & Staff!
Hey Tina! Thanks fpor the review! We most certainly agree that we have some pretty amazing staff and some incredible members!
Negative experience: The communication is bad. I went in for PT session and I waited for 15 minutes no one shown up. Later I found she cancelled it on app but they don't give you cancellation notice at all. She decided to stop the class and resume in Jan. But I was not involved in this decision making process and no one tell me when the session start. That's ridiculous and I got charged DNA for session not booked by myself.
Hi Yixin, We are so sorry you feel your experience wasn't great. We pride ourselves as having great communication with our members. Text message reminders are sent to all bookings, so I am unsure why you may not have received this. Happy for you to call the club to discuss any sms error that may have occured. - Becc, Club Manager

Fantastic experience: Absolutely fabulous facilities, friendly and helpful staff. Fairly average location if you don't drive, but that can't really be helped.

Great new state of the art equipment just installed, great range of cardio and strength equipment, big functional fit area, packed timetable full of great group fitness classes, excellent personal trainers who will push you towards your goals in a supportive and motivating way and amazing food coaches full of knowledge to help you grasp the nutritional aspects of your health and fitness. A nice members lounge area to enjoy those free breakfasts or just to sit and chat, big locker room and clean bathrooms and showers! Hair dryers, deodorant, moisturiser and massive mirror to get ready after a workout. Not to mention 24 hour access and a well priced crèche staffed with wonderful ladies to mind your cherubs while you get your sweat on! With so many positives, I almost forgot to mention they also have a Beauty Therapist on site who is amazing and also very well priced! The staff are always happy to help, even if its just a chat to try and help you find your mojo when you're feeling down. And they are truly happy to celebrate your victories with you too! On a more personal note, with the knowledge and support of the team at the best gym in town, I have lost over 30kgs and gained so much more. The best part is, I lost enough weight to achieve a long term goal and can't thank Fernwood Tuggeranong enough for their contributions to my success!! I would and do highly recommend Fernwood Tuggeranong to any woman looking for a great gym!!
Fantastic experience: The best part about Fernwood Tuggeranong is how all the staff and members have made feel like I am part of the Fernwood family. Donna and Lana always have time to say hello and to ask how you are. to me it is not just a gym it is a home away from my home.
Fantastic experience: Fernwood changed made my life, For Real!! Life is full of regrets but joining Fernwood Tuggeranong is NOT one of them. The moment you walk through the door you will feel like this is where you belong. It's lovely, modern, clean and full of state of the art equipment. But if that doesn't get you hooked then try a class. You'll love the many many classes they hold every week and held by awesome Instructors.They have a lovely crèche and even a beauty therapist.

Fantastic experience: I love going to Fernwood Tuggeranong. Having just finished their Get Foxy 12 Week Challenge, I have lost over 20kgs and feel great. I couldn't have done it without the support of the fantastic ladies who work there. They are so lovely and the gym is so clean. My kids love Rhonda in the creche, and I love the 'me time' I get while there. The timetable is fantastic - there always seems to be a class on if I'm not motivated to do my own workout while there. Highly recommend it - best gym I've been to!
Fantastic experience: I've tried many gyms without much success over the years but after a four week trial Fernwood Tuggeranong had me hooked! The staff are knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and supportive, and I found that the members were also very welcoming. The club is clean and tidy, with state of the art facilities, great crèche, convenient food coaching appointments, extensive group fitness timetable (7 days per week!) and now 24 hour access too!
