The gym is large and well maintained. JK is an amazing personal trainer—knowledgeable, motivating, and truly invested in helping you reach your goals. Every session is effective and very challenging, but still takes into account your limitations.

The staff are friendly and approachable. One of them even helped me locate my missing item while he was busy. Keep it up!

Love the Canberra outlet! The place is clean and has a variety of machines. The staff at this outlet were all very welcoming and friendly. Additionally, my personal trainer, Jannifer, is really experienced and plans great workout sessions and is able to push me to greater heights!

The gym is too crowded. It's not a good place for working adults; it's mainly for teenagers and youth. It gives a very substandard vibe. The equipment is good, but due to lack of space, it's not kept in an organized manner. On the positive side, gym staff are quite friendly and helpful. So far, I haven't seen the usual hard-selling tactics from trainers. They keep themselves away from those. That's a great thing about this Gymmboxx. Perhaps it's the same across all their outlets.

Really helpful staff members, especially these two! Super friendly and accommodating. Out of all the outlets I've been to so far, I felt the most safe and comfortable working out here. 10/10, a win for the gym gurlies as well. Gym cleanliness 10/10 as well. Canberra Gymmboxx ftw!

Great gym with top-notch equipment and friendly staff, especially their personal trainers. I had the pleasure of training with JK (JunKeat) for the past 6 months, and I can confidently say that he is extremely good at what he does. JK was my first PT, and I was quite nervous as I was basically new to the gym. From the very first session, it was clear that JK is not just a trainer, but a dedicated coach who genuinely cares about his clients' progress and well-being. He tailors each workout to suit my individual goals and abilities. His enthusiasm for fitness is infectious, making each session enjoyable and rewarding. Beyond the workouts, JK provides invaluable guidance on nutrition and lifestyle choices, ensuring that I make positive changes outside of the gym as well. He is always available to answer questions, provide feedback, and offer encouragement, creating a supportive environment that fosters growth and progress. If you're looking for a personal trainer who is passionate, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in your success, I highly recommend JK. He has not only transformed my fitness journey but also inspired me to live a healthier and more active life. He is super supportive and encouraging too. I definitely recommend JK if you're looking to up your fitness game!

Leg day lovers will rejoice. It has 6 squat racks, machines for standing and seated calf **raises**, and a landmine attachment for landmine squats. Long enough corridor for walking lunges, too. Wide selection of dumbbells as well. Machines are pretty standard for most gyms, though I don't use them too much as I mainly do free weights.

I've been here for nearly a year! Best outlet in my opinion! The staff here are super friendly; they never fail to greet and smile every time I enter or leave the gym. Not to mention the fresh equipment! The hair dryer in the changing room helps me for events after the gym, too. Members here are friendly and considerate. Hands down the best! :)

10/10 gym. I recommend JK (Jun Keat) if you are a beginner like me, who only knows how to use treadmills but wants to add weight training into their workout with guidance from a personal trainer. He’s the perfect trainer who will support you 100% throughout your fitness journey. He planned workout routines tailored to my fitness goals. He paid attention to my posture during heavy lifting sessions and made sure my form was correct. Also, whenever I had any questions or wanted to learn new exercises, he was always willing to teach me more. As a beginner, I couldn't have asked for a better trainer, and I am so thankful for the three months of training I had with him!

My first-time personal training (PT) experience with trainer JK (JunKeat) at this branch lasted about 4-6 months. From the beginning, I purposely sought out a trainer so I could learn two things: how to do a muscle-up, and how to use proper form on as many exercises as possible for effective training. I was quite accustomed to the mentality of "no pain, no gain." That is to say, I believed a good exercise session meant toughing it out through sheer strength. This didn't mean I completely forwent form; it just wasn't the foremost priority. I later learned that this meant I couldn't fully engage the muscle I wanted, because my unstable form would lead to me relying on other muscles during fatigue. Which is why it was funny to me that when he first saw my deadlifting form, he banned me from doing them until I could consistently apply the tips he gave me for Romanian deadlifts. I laugh about it now in hindsight, but that experience, in turn, gave me a solid foundation to progress in deadlifting. He seemed strict at first, almost nitpicky when it came to form. But once you get to know him, you'll find he's just worried about your safety, and the better you integrate his tips, the less he needs to remind you. He coordinates my workout sets well and knows when I'm ready to push towards heavier weights. He also isn't stingy when it comes to answering your questions if you don't understand a concept. Just ask, keeping in mind the hour-long PT sessions. Something I particularly value in him is that when I tell him a part of my body hurts during or after an exercise, or doesn't feel right, he's usually spot-on with how to solve it. Whether it's tension/squeezes during an exercise, excessive force from one side of the body, or tightness in the knee, he has interesting ways of solving them. I could go on and on, but my final results were: 1. I learned a lot about many exercises, just as I wanted. My compound weight personal records (PRs) doubled (granted, I wasn't lifting heavy anyway because of my bad form), and I feel very safe practicing deadlifting by myself in the future. 2. I couldn't do a muscle-up, but I did go from a max of 3 bad-form pull-ups in 1 set, to 10 good-form pull-ups in 2 sets on a good day. Unfortunately, that also meant I only started learning the basics of the muscle-up towards the end of my sessions, since my back finally had enough stamina for it. Was it perfect? No. I didn't achieve everything I wanted. But did I have a great time with him? Yes. I learned what I needed about the basics to feel more confident about what I was spending my time on. He is exactly the hypervigilant, whiny, fusspot, funny instructor I would send my future muscle-up success video to.
