Melbourne City Baths is one of the most organised and reliable fitness and swimming centres I’ve been to in Melbourne. I regularly use the swimming pool, sauna, and gym facilities here, and the experience has consistently been positive. The place is usually clean, well managed, and maintained to a very good standard. The gym equipment is modern and practical, the pool area is comfortable, and the sauna is a great way to relax after training or a long work day. Staff are professional and the overall atmosphere feels calm, respectful, and welcoming for people of all ages and fitness levels. What I appreciate most is the consistency. Every time I visit, things are organised properly and the facilities are operating smoothly. It’s a great place for both fitness and mental relaxation in the middle of the city. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a quality gym and swimming experience in Melbourne.
The night view of this classic building was gorgeous. Some reviews said that the build has been repurposed to be a modern stadium with swimming lanes. Yet I do not have a chance to visit.
Joined free summer swimming lessons for a week, loved it! Special thank you to Vanessa and her amazing positive energy, individual support, and encouragement. You pushed me in a way that helped me improve so fast in such a short time and gain so much confidence in the water. Your classes were fun and supportive, and you made every session a joy! 😊
We had another great time in Melbourne. This was our second port of call on the cruise. I didn't do any sightseeing here, just shopping. The sales were really good, not that I like to leave buying presents to the last minute, but sometimes it's good to. Anyway Melbourne can't be faulted, with so many great and interesting activities to do. Have a holiday in Melbourne, you won't regret it.
