Core24 Frankston Health & Fitness Gym

"I started bodyshape with Vivienne this year after a sedentary couple of Covid years and she has changed my life. I can’t thank her enough! Her expertise and genuine care has given me back my confidence and zest for life. Without our weekly appointments I don’t think I would’ve had the stamina to continue. Now I’m at Core most nights doing a variety of amazing classes and weights. This gym is epic with such a great vibe. Everyone is friendly and inviting, and the teachers are inspirational. If you want to change your life this place will do it."

"My favourite gym in large due to offering body shape and it being run by an amazing trainer Vivienne. No matter what my needs are she provides killer advice and her passion means she is always happy to help me with any area of my health journey. She has played an important part in me trying to reach my goals. Vivienne has a remarkable ability to inspire and uplift everyone around her. Her positive energy and enthusiasm are contageous and even on the toughest day when my motivation is non existent i leave my session with Vivienne feeling like i can do anything. But beyond her professional skills she is an amazing person who genuinely cares about her clients. She takes the time get to know you on a personal level, understanding your strengths, weaknesses and aspirations. Her priority is not just your physical transformation but promoting a healthy mindset and overall well-being. 5 starts, A+, 100% recommend."

"I've been a member of this gym on and off for years, and each time I come back, I'm reminded why I left. The staff are friendly enough, but the equipment is desperately outdated, appearing to have remained unchanged for the past two decades. A major concern is the gym's cleanliness. The exhaust fans in the showers, for instance, are in a state that's simply unacceptable. Look at the pics. They do not look like they have ever been cleaned. The issues go beyond just the physical state of the gym. The gym's cancellation procedure is a hassle, designed to pressure you into not leaving. I've experienced this twice now, once when I tried to cancel my own membership and years later when I attempted to cancel my daughters' memberships. Setting up our memberships was also an unnecessarily long process, taking over an hour and a half even as we tried to expedite the process by avoiding unnecessary questions and chatter. The gym's financial practices are also questionable. There's an additional $10 per month charge for equipment maintenance, which, in my opinion, should be included in the base membership fee. When I was informed of this charge, even the staff member who told me about it seemed uncomfortable. About a decade ago, I was hired as a trainer here. However, my experience was disappointing. My first night of unpaid training was run by an old-school "guru" who was unwilling to accept any form of challenge or questioning. At the time, I had just completed my Cert III, IV, and a Diploma in Fitness, so I was well-versed in the most up-to-date training methods. This guru, however, seemed to be stuck in the past, refusing to update his knowledge or methods. After I tried to bring some modern insights to the table, I was let go under the pretext of having said inappropriate things. I did not care, or challenge it as I already knew it was not a place that I wished to work at. Sadly, gyms may become like the video stores of the past, replaced by online fitness platforms. To prevent this, gyms need to offer premium service, state-of-the-art equipment, and maintain a super clean environment. If they fail to do so, people will not join, nor will they stay. Unfortunately, this gym falls short in these aspects, and until there are significant improvements, I'd advise potential members to look elsewhere."

"My son purchased the Mother's Day special of a facial and signature massage at Frankston Core24 wellness and beauty Centre. The room was relaxing and beautifully decorated. Kimberly was warm and welcoming, the treatments were fabulous especially the massage with hot stones so relaxing. I now have monthly massages. I highly recommend Kimberly for massage and beauty treatments at the Wellness and Beauty Centre at Core24 Frankston"

"Absolutely amazing gym, with an incredible variety of facilities available. Body shape with Viv, has literally changed my life. Excellent value for money, even what is on offer with the basic membership. The magnesium pool and sauna facilities are amazing and worth the membership fee alone. Staff are so friendly and helpful. Love this gym"
