This gym has me and my girlfriend apart of the family inviting us to events spending time with celebrity’s and also world famous athletes. The range of machines and free weights is the best I have ever used in the world. Olympic platforms from the London games? Yep they have it over 2000kgs in plates? They have it power lifting bars and Texas bars? They have it best gym in Australia if not the world!

I’ve not seen a gym with the sheer variety of plate loaded /​hammer strength machines in Australia. Three huge areas divide up the place, they’re each the size of a standard gyms weights area;
— Cardio/​reception
— Upper/​benches/​cables
— Lower/​racks/​platforms/​boxing
This isn’t somewhere I’d send someone to go in and throw around 3.5kg dumbbells or go for a run on a treadmill — it’s targeting a specific audience.
The assumption is that you know how to use the 40+ plate or pin loaded machines in the place and that you’re confident performing big compound lifts, manipulating benches, loading barbells, etc. If you’re a fresh gym goer or someone used to classes the learning curve is going to be very steep.
All that aside for a seasoned bodybuilder, power lifter, or anyone who lifts seriously for function, this place is going to have you grinning.
Complete transparency in pricing — it’s all online.
No compulsory 24 month contracts.
No tweenage ‘personal trainers’ fresh out of the Australian Institute of Fitness.
No ‘health questionnaire’ and ‘introductory PT session’ thrown down your throat.
It’s just a gym — the most highly functional one I’ve trained at. The casual visits are extremely reasonable at $ 10 — get in and see if it’s your thing.

Can’t sleep? Why not go to the gym to work up that desire for a nap!
Found opposite Barkly Square — known for its concentration of deep fried foodery places — Doherty’s Gym can often be found with a muscle-​bound hulk-​esque person moving through the doors. Because of this it took me quite a while to actually go in. a few laps past the windows to look in to see the equipment they have available and the membership prices.
One night I couldn’t sleep — one of the hot sticky nights that sleep just doesn’t want to come — so I thought to myself that now is the best possible time to go and try it out.
The gym layout is styled on those west coast US gyms you see in the movies. With more equipment than you can imagine — weight training, cardio fitness, boxing and more — I just wanted to run on the treadmill for a few hours. Afterwards the fully stocked Pro Shop for all your training supplement requirements, and what’s better is the coffee shop found even closer than you’d expect. Now I guess I’ll never sleep.
The membership is not the cheapest if you’re a «every now and then» kinda gym user but if it’s a 4 – 6 day a week thing this is definitely for you.
