Awesome facilities, helpful staff and a great community atmosphere. I wasnt sure about doing group classes but Pascal and the whole team were accommodating and friendly. The classes are intense but arent overboard. Highly recommend this for anyone looking to get into group fitness at a great modern gym.

I absolutely love the expert training, atmosphere and culture at Grip and Grind Fitness. The culture is exceptional and Pascal is to be highly commended for his team of professional world class trainers, exercise scientists and physiologists he has attracted to the business. Many of the coaches are elite athletes who have competed internationally so its very reassuring to receive precision training.

I want to make particular mention as well of my coach Aimee Fuller. Aimee is an accredited exercise physiologist who understands the female physique with a special interest in hormones and metabolism

Grip & Grit hands down has one of the best gym communities in the area. The workouts are challenging and varied, but it's the energetic trainers and encouragement from long-term members that make me love it most! I especially love starting my weekend with the Saturday morning class followed by a coffee with the ever-growing gang.
