One Playground Newtown - Newtown, New South Wales

The gym has good equipment and provides a decent workout environment. The machines and weights are well-maintained, which is a big plus. However, space is a major issue. There isn't enough room to accommodate additional equipment, which could help improve the overall experience.

One of the biggest downsides is overcrowding. It can be difficult to follow a workout routine because the gym is often packed. A major concern is that some members occupy equipment without actually using it, leaving towels or phones on machines for 20–30 minutes, preventing others from accessing them. There should be stricter rules to prevent this kind of behavior.

Additionally, the gym should consider limiting the number of new memberships. Right now, it seems like they are accepting more members than the facility can handle, which only worsens the congestion.

Overall, while the gym has good equipment, the lack of space and overcrowding significantly impact the experience. A better system for managing members and enforcing gym etiquette would make a huge difference.

Would personally like to give a shoutout to Sam - who gave us a tour around the gym and booked both my friend and I to a mat pilates class. He was very friendly, helpful and accommodating to our fitness goals. The mat pilates class was amazing, I personally am not a huge fan of mat pilates as I prefer reformer but this one changed my mind. Would highly recommend this gym!

Personally the best gym I’ve tried so far in Sydney. The trainers are incredibly helpful and the ambience is perfect. Classes are also very unique with a twist of both traditional and modern incorporations, and very beginner friendly. 10/10 would recommend to anyone wanting to just gym or try out new classes.

In what was a very well equipped gym & good experience whilst initially training at the Newtown branch, when trying to cancel my membership within the 14 day trial period due to a change in circumstance, i was able then constantly having to chase the sales team & met with a complete lack communication, in comparison to when signing up. The clear lack of care to what would of been a temporary leaving client has left a bitter taste & showcases the lengths a sales person will go to sign you up but not continue this level of customer care or communication. Very disappointing turn of results

The Newtown gym is busy at peak times but bright and friendly. I've been enjoying going there to train twice a week over the past two years.

I have been attending One Playground Marrickville coming up 2 years. It has totally transformed the way I approach my fitness routine. The classes are just incredible, varied, fun and social. The facilities and equipment are top range and I LOVE going the gym. I’ve started attending some classes at Newtown branch as well and they are also incredible. The vibe of this place is the best I’ve known. I’ve been a member of multiple different gyms for the last 15 years and I will never leave One Playground!

For me, i personally think that this gym is the best gym i have ever been to so far. Everything is so perfect from the atmosphere, location, friendly staffs and the most important is the classes. With the very reasonable price compared to other gyms we can access to classes from early in the morning till late night. The coaches are so friendly and professional. They are really helpful and correct the postures so we will not harm ourselves during exercises. Overall, i recommended to my friends and they love it too.

Staff are awesome, but for a premium place to workout, the cleanliness and upkeep here is bad compared to other places, and all friends who use the gym agree. The toilets are dirty, the dumbbells are always disorganised every day, and there are loose cables everywhere on the floor you can trip on near the cardio machines too. How hard is it to pay a sparky/tradie to make loose cables hidden and safe for customers – so basic. I even got a fungal infection on my hands for the first time in my life using this gyms equipments. There’s dust on the ceiling above the cardio equipment, broken rowing machine never gets fixed too. No fans, and it's often stuffy and hot. The top water machine have been broken for months too - it's like filling up at a leaking gutter. It would be appreciated if they looked after the paying customers better, kept the palace safe and clean and working properly.
