Correction (30 September 2026): an earlier version of this page was never checked. It gave every gym the wrong postcode (Northcote is 3070, not 3079), listed addresses, prices and opening hours we could not verify, and claimed visits that never happened. It has been rewritten from scratch. Every place below was checked against its own website and at least one independent listing, and every price was copied from the business’s own site.
Whether you want a pool and a gym under one roof, a 24/7 gym, or a first go on a Pilates reformer, there’s an option in Northcote. Five of the seven places below are on High Street. The Northcote Aquatic & Recreation Centre (NARC), run by Clublinks with the City of Darebin, is on Victoria Road, and Charge CrossFit is on Goldsmith Grove. Every price here was copied from the business’s own website on 30 September 2026. Intro offers and joining-fee deals change often, so check the link before you sign anything.

How we checked
On 30 September 2026 we read each business’s own website, including its pricing or membership page where it has one, and copied class types and prices exactly. We matched each address against at least one independent source on a different website: OpenStreetMap, the Northcote Rise trader directory, Whereis, Melbourne Playgrounds, CrossFit’s affiliate listing, a gym directory or Broadsheet. Where a business doesn’t publish prices (Charge CrossFit), we say so rather than guess. Intro offers, joining-fee deals and promotional rates change often, and some are for new clients only.
MELBZ did not visit or train at any of these places for this guide: it describes what each business publishes. The photos are illustrative, from Unsplash. They show the kind of equipment or class, not the venue itself. If you have an injury or a health condition, check with your GP or physio before starting something new.
