What members say about the work.
By far the best gym experience I’ve ever had. So much more than a gym. Great lifestyle advice regarding nutrition and stress management, strength training tailored around my functional flaws, all guided by my dedicated personal trainer. I personally couldn’t speak more highly of this place and the staff.
I signed up 6 months ago and feel I am the strongest and healthiest that I have ever been. The team are fantastic, and I feel like they are just as committed to my health and wellbeing as I am.
5th Element Wellness Gym is by far the best gym I have ever been to. World class gym facilities, a bouldering wall, yoga studio, sauna and nutrition bar make it possible for a whole-body experience. If you’re looking for a positive, nurturing and supportive community, this is the gym for you.
