Aussies are speechless over a new $22k gym - 'It's ridiculous!'
- Replies 6
Let's be honest – it's not easy to find a great place to work out, especially if you're living and working in a city as hectic as Sydney.
We completely understand how exhausting it can be to even search for a gym that's within walking or public transport distance, that's open when you actually want to exercise, and that doesn't cost so much that you question whether or not you should bother going there, to begin with.
But unfortunately, many of us don't have the luxury of remaining at home to take care of our fitness needs.
Even if we buy a personal training package, some gyms in our area might be too far to reach – or too expensive, and we're back to square one again, finding places to improve our fitness and wellness.
That is why, when a new 'ridiculous' gym popped up in Sydney, Aussies everywhere couldn’t stop talking about it!

Lifestyle members of the Sporting Club at Allianz Stadium, which recently opened its doors in the newly built Moore Park complex, have taken to social media to brag about the facility's amenities and annual membership fees.
It has been described by several as Sydney's 'fanciest' and most luxurious gym, not only because of the amazing state-of-the-art facilities but also because of the over-the-top amenities, including oysters served in the cafeteria and a machine that can dry swimwear in under eight seconds!
Just take a look at these additional 'out-of-the-box' and 'luxe' services offered at the facility:
In the beautiful change rooms, each changing station features Dyson hair tools and appliances.
However, the lifestyle club also comes with a steep price tag. To participate in the facility’s luxurious offerings, users must pay a minimum joining fee of $5000, with other pricing packages spanning up to $22,000.
This sounds a lot like what Cass B, a member of the fitness club, shared in a walk-through video she posted on TikTok, where he called the facility's pricing 'ridiculous'.
She said: 'It cost $830 million to build this stadium and I kind of see why, it is lush.'
'Holy moly, this place is ridiculous!'
However, the 'ultimate' membership comes with 'selected' tickets for Sydney Swans, Sydney Roosters, NSW Waratahs, and Sydney FC season matches.
The opening of the facility has been met with massive success and rave reviews from many users who were given a sneak peek at the state-of-the-art gym.
A number of them have described it as 'the best gym in the country'. They were also amazed by how the facility is able to give them a 'level of premium' experience they did not think they would ever experience in working out.
Adult and 'kid' memberships are currently on sale until August 28. For more information on their pricing and other perks, check out their website here.
