LIFT Gym might not have the bells and whistles of fancy commercial gyms, but it has something far more valuable: genuine community and heart. Jo and his beautiful dog Coco create the most welcoming, ego-free environment where you'll never queue for equipment and everyone knows your name. Jo's generous tips, feedback and encouragement - always offered with genuine care for your progress - make every session better, and his passion for helping people succeed is evident in everything he does. After years of training here, I'm devastated to be leaving the area because no other gym has ever come close to matching LIFT's sense of belonging and authentic care. If you want a place where you'll actually want to show up, this is it.
liftgym.com.auI love spending time at the gym so thats why it's so important to find a good one! I had been training with Joseph Ralph many years ago and had never found a better personal trainer or gym operator so I had to look him up and see where he was! Lucky for me he had opened Lift Gym in Sydney. The Gym has excellent facilities, great music, friendly members who are respectful plus the resident puppy Coco who is adorable. I would highly recommend Lift Gym!
Great well maintained equipment. Feels very private and exclusive to train here, yet the owner, Jo, is very friendly and accomodating with little coco thats the cutest. Love the playlist and art on the wall, give the overall vibes 10/10 and motivates me to work out more. Best gym so far i come across in sydney
GoogleJust signed up to this gym! Have to admit that the owner Joseph has an infectious enthusiasm and energy. The gym is clean and tidy not to mention the groovy decor. Can't wait to train under Joseph and push myself to new heights. If you're looking for tight knit community than this is the place for you.
GoogleI absolutely love training at Lift! The gym is never too busy, so waiting to use equipment is rarer than a unicorn. Joe and the team are super friendly and they've set the speakers to only ever play bangers! The gym is a great vibe with great facilities - highly recommend!
GoogleLift is an all around fantastic gym! It has every possible piece of equipment that anyone would need for a top notch workout. It's incredibly clean and well organized. The atmosphere is great, the music is great, and it has a lovely community vibe.
FacebookI'm so happy I discovered this gym during my stay in Sydney. The equipment is great, the atmosphere is upbeat and inviting, and Joe's energy is contagious! I definitely recommend!
If you're ready to level up your gym-going experience, LIFT Gym is the place to be. This boutique gym is specced out with everything a serious lifter needs, the owner (Jo) is a legend, and you'll get to hang out with COCO the gym dog! The space has artwork and vintage mirrors covering the walls, great music always pumping, all around immaculate vibes. Get involved!
liftgym.com.auI've been coming to Lift for 6 weeks now. I had been doing ashtanga yoga for 14 years and the last 2 years I couldn't do deep backbends because my back hurt so much and the last 4 months my adductor had been sore, so even lunges caused me pain. I had been having chiro and myofacial release which was great for my body but didn't fix the issues. So I rocked up to Jo who gave me a program to work on these areas. My adductor and back are no longer sore and today I was able to do deep backbends with ease. I'm loving training at Lift and ironically no longer have a desire to go back to yoga but incorporate part of it into my training. Never in a million years did I think that would happen, and that's largely because I love this gym and the atmosphere it provides. Super excited to be working with Jo and transforming my physique. A huge thanks to Jo, Anita, Alex and Coco!
GoogleFantastic and friendly gym. Everything you need for a good workout, and never too crowded. Great playlist too!

Cannot recommend this gym enough! Great vibes, not too busy and all the equipment you need.
