Thanks for joining us for this this discussion about the best gyms in Melbourne. Our only real objective is to cover the local fitness scene as well as possible.
We will go ahead and begin with the best Melbourne gyms since they are likely why you found our site in the first place. Once they are out of the way we will switch over to the best studios for spinning or indoor cycling classes as well as our favorite boxing and MMA gyms in your area.

After that we will get into the best yoga and pilates studios in the city. A couple of types of fitness that are trending upwards are workout bootcamps and barre exercises so they will need to be broken down also.
When the weather is nice you may want to head outdoors so we will list plenty of good outdoor recreations areas in the region that will be perfect for that. And we will end this with the best stores to buy sporting goods or home gym equipment near you.
There will also be a local fitness map to help you get a better understanding of where all these places are. You can look through more of our posts on Australia right here if you are interested.
