I’d never been to a gym before but thought as l was getting older starting some strength training would help me as l age. Although l was reluctant at first to join a gym I found the instructors at MV Health and Fitness to be extremely welcoming and work with all types of fitness levels. I attend classes and the instructors are happy to alter exercises to accommodate everyone’s fitness levels. Now I’ve been going to the gym over 3 years and my fitness and strength levels have increased hugely. Also during this time l had suffered with tennis elbow and the instructors altered my exercises to help my elbow heal and allow me to continue with the classes. Definitely recommend MV Health and Fitness.

The trainers here are incredible. Hamish, Matt, and the rest of the team are so supportive and knowledgeable. I’m rebuilding my strength and fitness after major surgery and also navigating postpartum recovery, and I feel stronger and more confident every week. The environment is welcoming, uplifting, and family-friendly. The trainers are always so kind with my baby when I bring him along. I honestly love being part of this community.

Moonee Valley Health and Fitness is a fantastic place for anyone serious about getting results. The team is friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in your progress. The gym itself is well-equipped and fit for purpose, whether you're just starting out or looking to push your limits. The clinical Pilates program is outstanding—Hoda, in particular, is an exceptional instructor. She consistently goes above and beyond to support each person in the class. The group sessions are thoughtfully planned, and even though you're in a group setting, you still receive individual attention and clear guidance throughout. Russell is also a great studio director who genuinely cares about the members and their overall wellbeing.

Russ, Amy and the team at MV Health & Fitness have created an inclusive and welcoming gym and pilates studio that is a pleasure to attend. All the instructors and staff are friendly and helpful and they genuinely care about you and your wellbeing. I have been going here for 4 years and across 2 pregnancies and the team have been incredible at tailoring the programs to my needs. Would recommend for a friendly and welcoming place to move your body, especially for mums and parents!

I have loved being a part of MV fitness. Their classes are both challenging, varied and fun and my fitness level dramatically improved with attendance. However in my opinion what has made my experience great is Russell the owner who has been very flexible with my membership during a time of transition, he’s a reflection of the whole team! I’d highly recommend this gym, don’t hesitate 😊

Russell and his staff at MV Fitness are fantastic. I went there to get ready for an application to join the police and with their guidance and assistance I was easily able to meet the requirements. Trainer Matt was exceptionally helpful and provided great coaching to help me not only pass but exceed the standards required. Even after passing the standard required, Russell, Matt and all the staff at MV Fitness were incredibly helpful and genuinely interested in continuing my fitness improvement. I can't recommend MV Fitness highly enough. The staff are incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and most importantly supportive. They will help you achieve whatever fitness goals you are striving for!

I've been seeing Hamish weekly for the past four months, and the lasting effects of our work together have been remarkable. His attentiveness and deep knowledge make every session productive and insightful. Beyond just treating symptoms, Hamish takes a holistic approach to injury rehabilitation, addressing the underlying contributors to ensure long-term recovery and performance improvement. What truly sets him apart is his ability to make the process enjoyable—our sessions are not only effective but also engaging and motivating. His guidance has had a significant impact on my recovery, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for expert in the field.
