Northern Arena

Love this gym . The instructors know what they are doing and are super keen to help if needed . The equipment range is slowly getting better too . It’s definitely an older persons gym , I would say majority are 40 plus . But all the members are respectful with the equipment, wipe everything down and put things away . There are lots of fantastic classes as well.

As a mid-range gym the facilities are clean and it offers a wide variety of classes and equipment.nnWhere you can run into challenges is parking and room audio quality.nnParking during peak swim lessons is frustratingly oversubscribed. It results in people parking on side walks and outside the lines. You can park in the Woolies lot when this happens - leave enough time for the added walk.nnThe audio quality in the classes is mediocre. If you have any hearing difficulties or sensitivities you will likely have a barely acceptable experience. Having fed back and asked staff to experience it from the audience side didn’t get a lot of curiosity, mainly escalations and reasons why it can’t be addressed or it’s a hard problem. There was some movement but the results to date haven’t created an environment that is fit-for-purpose. It won’t be a trivial fix, but the lack of pride in making it a great experience means you will not get a high quality experience on the whole.

Fantastic staff, great facilities BUT unbearable to sit in the swimming area where the babies & young kids have their lessons! The acrid chlorine fumes burn our eyes and the stifling humidity is awful! Maybe the chemical treatment should be done after hours to allow the air-conditioning to clear the fumes. Also suggest dropping the heat to something closer to bearable. I understand that it is set high specifically for the babies, but honestly, l don't think it needs to be that hot

Im very impressed with Northern Arena and all their swimming instructors. All of their efforts and patience make a huge difference in my childrens swimming skills and confidence. Keep up the awesome work! Carlos no98 well done your help is very much appricated!

Enjoyed our first baby swimming session with Teegan. The changing rooms are very well equipped and include a private shower and a changing table - which is quite handy with a baby.
