All progress takes place outside the comfort zone.

Michael John Bobak

This artist is more renowned for this quote than for his work. Though a broad statement that could apply to any area of life, Bobak intended it to mean his artistic style. He creates digital art with a process he calls 'smearing', which renders dazzling, striking results.

Those are the types of results you could achieve with the best gym in Gold Coast. But which one is the best? This city has its share of franchise names; they're some of the best gyms in Australia. We're set to explore them, and some home-grown facilities, as well.

F45 - Multiple Gyms

F45 is one of Australia's leading gym franchises; their gym facilities in Canberra left us in awe. Across the Gold Coast outside of City Centre, you'll find nine F45 outlets. Its many locations give testament to this fitness brand's popularity.

The F45 fitness philosophy goes far beyond free weights and miscellaneous gym equipment. In these gyms, you'll find community and team spirit, as well as guidance and fitness education. You might step up your fitness routine with high-intensity interval training (HIIT), or start a bit slower - say, with a yoga or barre class.

  • 📞 Phone: varies by location
  • 💻 Website: https://f45training.com/au/find-a-studio/
  • 🚘 Address: nine across the city
  • ⏰ Hours : vary by facility
  • 💲 Costs: ranging from $50/week to $65/week, depending on location and membership plan.

Curves Bundall

Like F45, Curves is an international gym franchise; unlike them, it is a women-only facility. Curves operates on the principle that women's bodies work differently, and have their own fitness needs. Thus, you'll find more emphasis on women's fitness goals. Those include toning up with cardio and aerobics, as well as stretching and strength training.

Should dance, Pilates and yoga be too tame for your tastes, you may pursue HIIT or circuit training. Curves keeps personal trainers of staff to help direct your efforts. Together, you can discuss nutrition, fitness goals, and a plan to achieve the results you want. Best of all, your membership travels with you, whether you're in Perth or looking for a gym in Sydney!

  • 💻 Website: https://www.curves.com/au/find-a-club

  • 💲 Costs: $19.95 monthly

Stepz Fitness Benowa

For fitness hopefuls unsure where to begin their journey, this is one of the best gyms in Gold Coast. It's also (almost) the cheapest gym Gold Coast; membership starts at just $14.95 a week. Stepz includes all the standard gym equipment. Their inventory comprises free weight as well as a range of machines - treadmills, ellipticals, stationary bikes and much more.

You can enjoy all that Stepz has to offer, including personal fitness coaching. If you're just beginning your training, you might feel better served in a group setting, maybe yoga or Pilates. Or, you can focus on individual fitness goals with your personal trainer. The Stepz we reviewed in South Australia was one of the best gyms in Adelaide; the Benowa facility surpassed it!

Goodlife Health Clubs Bundall

The Australian-grown fitness franchise boasts more than 80 outlets across our country. Indeed, one of its facilities, in Victoria, ranks among the best gyms in Melbourne. Clearly, this brand has hit on a winning formula, too. However, these workout centres are not cookie-cutter establishments.

♬ original sound - Goodlife Health Clubs

The Goodlife Health Clubs in Bundall (and Mermaid Waters!) are expansive facilities with zones that cater to each fitness need. You might start your workout in the cardio fitness area and then, move to the cycle studio to kick things up a notch. Or, you could sign up for group classes in strength training or dance. After your workout, you can relax and heal your muscles in the on-site sauna.

Plus Fitness Southport

Like many of the gyms featured so far, Plus Fitness has franchises across Australia. However, the outlet in Southport stands out for its amenities as much as for its helpful staff. Knowledgeable instructors lead group classes and guide members through functional training.

Samsara Women's Health Club

Women looking for a luxury gym Gold Coast could not find a better facility than Samsara. This club includes a gym and hosts a bevy of fitness classes, but its focus is on total wellness. Samsara treats its members to motivational talks - with guest lecturers as well as personal trainers.

Your membership begins with a wellness assessment, which your coach will revise every six weeks. From there, you will design the wellness program that suits your needs and goals.

Move Headquarters

When people think of fitness enthusiasts and gym goers, they typically imagine lean, fit, fully ambulant bodies. It's not their fault; that's the way gyms market themselves. Well, all gyms save for Move. This amazing facility helps its members build a productive relationship with their bodies, regardless of any mobility challenges.

Move fitness coaches guide their members thought HIIT routines - or low-intensity workouts. A gym goer may work on power-building or functional training. In all cases, Move workouts are about fitness and health, not sculpting and toning. Note that Move is not a franchise; it would be great to have such a gym in Brisbane!

Gold Coast Performance Centre

This is less a gym than a sports complex, complete with field sports, pools, competitions, and accommodations. Note that a giant sail protects the open spaces so members can enjoy the coastal breeze as they work out, without the sun scorching them. However, if you prefer strength training and conditioning inside the gym, you have that option.

This centre offers more than 80 classes weekly, addressing various levels of fitness and ability. Like the Move philosophy, Performance Centre coaches do not believe fitness is only for the able-bodied. This Centre hosts various events, including camps and competitions, designed to motivate and inspire.

KO Fitness Miami

This is the Gold Coast gym that's most like the boxing gyms of old. That doesn't mean you won't find quality equipment and fitness programs, only that boxing is its signature feature. Members can sign up for boxfit classes, or simply work on their boxing and kickboxing skills. Such includes everything from bag work to burpees.

If you've no desire to box, this gym invites you to their cardio area, where you'll find all the equipment needed to raise your heart rate. Discover their assortment of rowing machines, treadmills, stationary bikes and more.

Admittedly, KO Fitness is the least-frills gym on our list. Still, it does not cheat anyone out of a gym experience. If anything, it will take you back to what the best gyms in Perth are like: a place to get fit and discover your strengths.
