Correction (1 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed twelve gyms at Fairfield street addresses we could not find, under postcode 3074 (that is Thomastown; Fairfield is 3078), with membership prices, hours, equipment lists and a claim that we had tested every option. None of it could be stood behind, and its picks table named places such as “Golden Kitchen” that appeared nowhere else on the page. It has been rewritten from scratch: every place below was checked against its own website on 1 October 2026, and every fee is copied from the gym’s own pricing, join or FAQ page.
Fairfield sits 6 km north-east of the CBD, wedged between Northcote to the west, Grange Road to the east, Darebin Road to the north and the Yarra to the south, with Fairfield station on the Hurstbridge line. It is a small suburb with plenty of places to train: two 24/7 gyms (one of them a boxing gym with a ring), two group-training studios, three pilates studios, and a leisure centre with indoor and outdoor pools just over the line in Northcote.
How this list is built: every place has its own website, a street address confirmed at a second source, and (bar BFT and Body Centre Pilates) fees it publishes itself. No star ratings, no “best” without a reason. The criteria are simple: what you can do there, when you can get in, and what it costs on the gym’s own page. Haven’t been in a gym since school? Most places below list a casual visit, a trial or an intro option.

IGNYT 24/7 Gym — 1/147 Station St, Fairfield VIC 3078
The Station Street gym, and the one to look at if your training happens at odd hours. IGNYT calls itself a premium boutique gym, with “24/7 Gym Access” and personal training, and it has a sister club in Bokarina, Queensland. Its online join page is unusually clear about price: the no lock-in membership is $19.95 a week with 14 days’ written notice to suspend, a 12-month membership drops that to $16.95 a week, and a family or partner membership is also $16.95 per person per week. Every option carries a $69 access fee.
Fees: $19.95 a week (no lock-in) or $16.95 a week (12 months), plus a $69 access fee, per its join page on 1 October 2026. Get involved: book a tour or join through the gym’s own site.
The Rumble Room — 161 Grange Rd, Fairfield VIC 3078
A boxing and fitness gym on Fairfield’s eastern edge, open to members “24 hours a day, 365 days a year”. Its own page lists boxing facilities “including bags, speed balls and a ring”, and says every membership includes the gym, the boxing facilities and the group fitness classes. The published rates are $17.95 a week by direct debit with a $75 start-up cost, or $699 for 12 months paid upfront. Not ready to commit? A casual visit is $20, but only within staffed hours: 4pm to 7pm Monday to Thursday, 7:30am to 1:30pm Friday and 9:30am to 12:30pm Saturday.
Fees: $17.95 a week plus a $75 start-up, or a $20 casual visit in staffed hours. Get involved: call or join online, and ask about the free trial its page mentions.
Northside Movement — 402 Heidelberg Rd, Fairfield VIC 3078
A small-group training studio on Heidelberg Road. Its classes are listed as Strong, Boxing, Cycle, Yoga, Power and Team, and its “Personal Training on Demand” caps the ratio at three people to a trainer. The studio’s FAQ puts group memberships at $59 to $89 a week and PT on Demand from $70 a week, on either a no-contract option with four weeks’ notice or a 12-month commitment. It also lists showers, lockers and a coffee machine, and keeps a Hall of Fame for members who log 250 sessions.

The Fairfield studio of Body Fit Training, the group-training franchise, also on Grange Road. The club page lists studio hours of 5:30am to 7:30pm Monday to Friday and 6am to 11am Saturday, with no Sunday hours shown, and it runs eight-week challenges with meal plans in the BFT app and Evolt body composition scans. One honest gap: its club page showed no membership prices when we checked, so there is no fee to quote here.

How we checked
On 1 October 2026 we read each gym’s own website and copied every fee exactly as printed: IGNYT’s from the membership page its own “Join now” button opens, The Rumble Room’s from its pricing page, Northside Movement’s from its FAQ, Pilates Republic’s and Rituel’s from their price lists, and the NARC’s from its 2026 membership and casual pricing pages (adult rates). We confirmed every address at a second, independent source: the Fairfield Village business directory, the Fitness Nearby and MapQuest listings, Melbourne Playgrounds, or OpenStreetMap. The suburb’s boundaries and distance from the CBD are from Wikipedia. We started from the gym names on the old version of this page and could not match any of them to a gym at the addresses it gave, so none of them appears here. Fees change, and many gyms run intro deals we have left out on purpose; check the gym’s own page before you sign. The photos are illustrative, from Unsplash: they show the kind of training, not these gyms.
