Ashburton Pool And Recreation

Four pools, an extensive group fitness timetable with motivational instructors, not ridiculously expensive. In the times that I’ve lived out of the area, no other gym has lived up to this both in terms of facilities and value for money.
Discounts for students, general concessions, and for sharing the same bank account as someone else. Also a nifty Boroondara Leisure membership available so you can travel between the gyms in the area.
Frequent Challenge Fitness (boot)camps are held for guests and members, school holiday programs, and all those little things you forget available for purchase at the front desk. Member discount, hurrah. Also a nice little café area (only drawback the Lavazza) with healthy, not so healthy, and kid friendly selections.
It’s half an hour walk from my house and I still love it. Yes, even post-​Pump.
