I can’t express how happy I am to be a member of the Vana Gym. This place has truly transformed my life for the better. The atmosphere is incredibly welcoming, and the staff is always friendly and supportive, making every visit a pleasure.

The variety of equipment and memberships available caters to all fitness levels, which I really appreciate. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned athlete, there’s something here for everyone. The trainers are incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely care about helping you achieve your goals, providing personalised advice and encouragement along the way.

Beyond the physical benefits, Vana has fostered a wonderful community where I’ve made friends and found motivation. It’s become an essential part of my routine, and I can’t imagine my life without it.

If you’re looking for a gym with PT sessions that prioritises your goals, member satisfaction and creates a positive environment, I highly recommend Vana. You won’t regret it!

The perfect place to rediscover your love for training!
I have been training for 14 years but ultimately lost my love for it over the last few years. I went to vana and had a chat with Ben who ignited the drive to do better and get fitter again. I signed up and never looked back. The metta program was perfectly designed and gave me clear work out plans and tracking ability. I’ve had the pleasure of training with all the staff members and their knowledge and experience was so valuable! From proper form and technique to dietary and supplementation they took the time to go through it all.
The gym environment they have created is great for all!

From experienced trainers to first time gym goers, everyone is friendly and respectful to each other.
The equipment they have available is top class everything you would ever need has been thought of.

Huge thank you to Ben, Tommy, Shelby and Ryan for making me love training again!

Craig Turner

Fabulous experience, supportive and friendly.

Classes are for all levels and trainers are very attentive and knowledgeable! Would definitely recommend.

VANA has an incredible setup with all the latest equipment.

But what truly sets them apart is the incredible atmosphere. The coaches are knowledgeable, passionate, and supportive; pushing you to reach your goals in a positive, inclusive and motivating environment. VANA is incredibly welcoming and has a real community vibe.

Since joining I have achieved some fantastic strength goals and I’m much happier in my own skin.

Carla Scherer

Sparkling clean gym focused on providing a quality experience, not on the quantity of members it can squeeze in. As such, this space never feels crowded and there are no queues for equipment (which is especially important during these pandemic times!).

Each of the PTs are super knowledgeable about all things fitness and nutrition, and are passionate about their work. As well as being total guns at their jobs, they’re also the friendliest guys ever, and will remember you by name and make you feel totally welcome every time you pop by.
