Why Fitzroy locals choose a private studio

Fitzroy has plenty of gyms. What most of them cannot give you is a coach who knows your history and a program that changes as you do.

We have more than 170 five-star Google reviews.

Every member starts with a free assessment, which includes a conversation about your goals, training history and lifestyle, plus a movement screening — so your training is built around how you actually move.

What Fitzroy members say

Best is in the name because they are the Best in the business!! I moved to Collingwood from New Zealand last year not knowing anyone besides my partner I moved over with. Since joining beyond best in January, I have not only seen massive improvements in my fitness, strength and physical appearance (lifting more than I’ve ever lifted, whilst also running a half marathon PB) I’ve also found an awesome likeminded community who are supportive, friendly and love to have a laugh! Whole heartedly couldn’t recommend them more!
