Correction (3 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed places and details we could not stand behind. It has been rewritten from scratch: every place below was confirmed at two independent sources between 2 October 2026 and 3 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.
Six places to train, spread over four suburbs. Three are in Mulgrave: a 24/7 gym, outdoor equipment in Waverley Park and a reserve with an exercise track. One gym is in Springvale, one pool is on the Monash University campus in Clayton, and one badminton centre is in Noble Park. Each heading names its own suburb.
This page does not rank them. Ranking a gym means stating the criteria, and ours would be listed hours, listed prices and the facilities each source names. Only one place gave us a price at all.
Out of the habit? Start with the listed hours and the fee questions below, then ring the place.

Snap Fitness Mulgrave-Waverley Gardens 24/7 — Shop 24A, Corner of Police and Jacksons Roads, Waverley Gardens Shopping Centre (271 Police Road), Mulgrave VIC 3170
The club page says “Open 24 hours to members”. Its amenities line includes group classes, circuit training, boxing, strength training, personal training, a Pilates studio, free weights and cardio equipment.
The page says “Get started with just $5 to join when you sign up this month!” We could not read a weekly membership rate on the page, and the MyNextGym listing says “Check website for pricing”, so we print no rate.
Listed prices (copied from snapfitness.com on 3 October 2026):
- Join: $5
Fees: the $5 to join is the only figure we found, and the page words it as a this-month offer, so check it is still running.
Waverley Park Fitness Hub (outdoor gym equipment) — Waverley Park, Mulgrave VIC 3170
The Monash council page for the Waverley Park Fitness Hub lists this equipment: “Elliptical, Parallel bars, Fit rider, Chest press, Lat pulldown.” A playground listing for the park says “There are some outdoor gyms beside the lake.”
This is outdoor equipment in Waverley Park. We could not confirm exactly where in the park it sits, we found no street number, and no source we read states hours or a price.
Get involved: the council page is the place to check the equipment list before you head there.
Freeway Reserve — 361-415 Wellington Road, Mulgrave VIC 3170
The council describes a track you can walk or run along, with sit-ups, chin-ups, push-ups and other exercises. It also says “There is also a playground to keep the kids entertained, and a dog off-leash area”.
A second listing says “there is seat beside a water tap for people and a bowl for dogs.” The council lists the address as 361-415 Wellington Road and the other listing gives 6 Kernot Avenue. We read no hours or prices for the reserve.
Home ground: Freeway Reserve, with access via Kernot Avenue. Check the council page for rules on the sportsgrounds and the archery range.
Anytime Fitness Springvale — Unit 2, 9-11 Springvale Road, Springvale VIC 3171
OpenStreetMap tags this gym opening_hours=24/7, at unit 2 of Springvale Road. A directory, Mapdoor, lists it as Unit 2/ 9- 11 Springvale Road, Springvale VIC 3171, phone 03 9548 5444.
We did not read a page from Anytime Fitness itself, so read the 24/7 as a listing and confirm it by phone. We found no Anytime Fitness gym in Mulgrave itself, which is why this Springvale one is here. No prices were read.
Get involved: ring 03 9548 5444 and ask about hours and joining before you travel.
Doug Ellis Swimming Pool (Monash University) — 36 Scenic Boulevard, Clayton VIC 3168
This is in Clayton on the Monash University campus, not in Mulgrave. A Melbourne Playgrounds listing says “All pools are open to the public and in addition to general swimming, learn to swim lessons, squad training, infant aquatics”. OpenStreetMap tags it fee=yes.
We did not capture hours or casual-entry prices, so this page prints none. Treat it as a public indoor pool at Monash Clayton, and check the university’s own page for the rest.
Fees: not captured. The map tag says there is a fee, and nothing more.
Badminton Connect Noble Park — 7/450 Princes Highway, Noble Park VIC 3174
This is in Noble Park, not Mulgrave. The venue’s own home page lists “Weekdays: 9am - 11pm Weekends: 8am - 11pm” and describes “Professional Grade Courts”.
We read no court prices on the home page. Badminton is a racquet sport played on a net court. If you are keen to have a hit, the venue is where to ask how courts are booked.
Get involved: the venue’s own site, badmintonconnect.com.au, is the starting point.
Quick answers
Which of these are open 24 hours?
Snap Fitness Mulgrave-Waverley Gardens says “Open 24 hours to members”, so access is for members. Anytime Fitness Springvale is tagged opening_hours=24/7 on OpenStreetMap, which we treat as a listing to confirm.
Are any of these free?
We cannot say. The council lists the Waverley Park Fitness Hub equipment and the Freeway Reserve track, but neither source we read states a price, so we do not call them free. Snap Fitness lists $5 to join, which is a joining offer, not a membership rate.
Where can I swim or play badminton?
Doug Ellis Swimming Pool is a public pool on the Monash Clayton campus: a Melbourne Playgrounds listing says all its pools are open to the public. Badminton Connect Noble Park lists weekdays 9am - 11pm and weekends 8am - 11pm. Neither is in Mulgrave.
Is there a gym in Mulgrave itself?
Snap Fitness Mulgrave-Waverley Gardens 24/7 is at Waverley Gardens Shopping Centre, 271 Police Road, Mulgrave VIC 3170. The council also lists outdoor equipment at Waverley Park, and Freeway Reserve has a track.
