Whilst the gym I normally go to remained shut even after COVID restrictions on gyms were lifted, I decided to check out Ruben’s after a recommendation from a friend. I... read more went to a few classes conducted by a series of different trainers including Ruben, which were enjoyably challenging. The gym facilities are fantastic, heaps of great equipment and plenty of space. I was super impressed with how clean Ruben and his team keep the gym, and not to mention they were all super lovely and welcoming. Will definitely be recommending this gym to my friends and hope to return soon.

Staff are amazing! Ruben is really personable and makes the gym a great place to visit. Favourite classes for me are boxing, cycle, hard circuit and kettle bells.

Sign up and give it a go as I love it.

Great crowd, staff and clients. Good mix of activities. The only gym I would go to in the inner west of Sydney.

@Rubens is an awesome local independent gym and health centre.

This is the best gym I've ever been a member of. Super friendly team members, great community atmosphere and awesome classes. Couldn't recommend it enough!

Thankyou @Rubens, I always feel welcome here. The staff are professional, down to earth, kind and very, very good at their jobs. I have enjoyed excellent classes with Tegan, Ruben... read more and Lachlan.
@Rubens is a small gym with enough machines so you dont have to wait. Always clean. For the introvert- they have group classes with all solo exercises here so if (like me) you prefer not to pair up, its a win here. Its more expensive than some gyms but for me its worth it as a treat. I drive 4 suburbs past a lot of other gyms to come here, I highly recommend.

I never thought of myself as a gym person. I like my lounge too much, however, three years ago all that changed. I decided to pop in and check out... read more what was happening inside my local gym. I met Ruben and straight away had a great feeling about him and his business. We got chatting and like a ninja he signed me up. I rocked up the next morning for a spin class (thinking who am I). I had a great time; even if it did almost kill me. I stuck at it, and it got easier, and now the going to the gym is part of who I am. I don’t think I would have persevered if it wasn’t for Ruben and his fantastic team. The feeling of family at Ruben’s makes the early mornings so much easier. I highly recommended checking out what @Ruben’s has to offer!

A fantastic gym with amazing energy and trainers.
Matt C 16/12/2021
This gym has helped me to transform my life. I have been a member for 3 years and the thing I LOVE about the entire team @Rubens is that I... read more was as supported, encouraged, challenged and welcomed on my first day (when I could barely make it through a beginner’s yoga class) as I am today (when I can smash out a boxing class and do some extra training afterwards).
@Rubens truly is a gym for EVERYONE. All shapes, all sizes, all fitness levels coming together to share laughter and energy as we improve our health. It feels more like a community centre than a gym – and that is a culture that has been consciously fostered by Ruben and his incredible team.
The other tip I would offer is give personal training a try. I was always against personal training. For many years I had thought, “Why would I pay someone just to make me turn up? I know what I have to do – I just need to do it”. What I didn’t realise then is that PT is so much more than someone making you accountable for turning up.
With personal training you get a tailored program to suit your goals, you get professional expertise to correct form and avoid/manage injuries and you get VARIETY! A trainer has the ability to introduce you to so many different movements and exercises that it never gets boring.
I can honestly say that training twice a week with Tegan @Rubens has changed my life.
The physical changes have been fantastic: I’ve lost 20kg and kept it off for 18 months. When I started I could barely do step ups onto a box and got out of breath walking on the treadmill. Now I can do 20 “on toes” push ups in a row, I can do box jumps, burpees, I can run 7km and I can deadlift 100kg.
But the biggest gains I have made working with Tegan have been psychological. I now use exercise to manage stress. I have learnt the joy of challenging myself, failing and challenging myself again. I have gained the confidence to get out of my comfort zone both within the gym and outside of it. And all the time I have had the most amazing coach in my corner: supporting me, pushing me, challenging my assumptions, picking me up when I needed it, giving me a kick in the backside when I needed it, celebrating my victories and sharing lots of laughter and wisdom along the way.
So come and join the @Rubens family – and give personal training a try!

Although I didn’t try any classes there seemed to be a wide variety, and I was pleased to see that the owner, Ruben, is an integral part of the gym, teaching classes and being on the floor. I would recommend this gym to anyone and I would have signed up if I didn’t already work at a gym and get free access.

Sarah Hawkesford 09/12/2019
When my partner and I were looking to move back to the Inner West last year and he showed me apartments that weren’t within walking distance, my response was ‘...but...... read more but... Ruben’s?’. When returning to your old gym, you question, ‘will it be the same!?’...It’s better. All the things I loved remained- the phenomenal instructors, the feeling of community, the great facilities with zero pretentiousness, awesome classes - and now, even more of them! Everyone is incredibly encouraging and the instructors really know the boundaries when it comes to pushing you beyond your perceived limitations of yourself, without putting you at risk of injury. I couldn’t speak more highly of this place!

The place has such a great, non-judgemental, just do your thing, vibe. I used to hate feeling like I needed to be perfect to even sign up to other gyms. At Ruben’s everyone is welcome. The friendliness doesn’t just stop with the great, passionate, loveable staff. The other gym members have been just as fabulous. It’s not just fitness and health at Ruben’s but an entire community. A big thank you to the whole team, and Ruben in particular, for all the fun times.
Harriet Townsend 07/10/2021
I love At Ruben's! I don't say this lightly as I've never been a fan of gyms but Ruben and the team are amazing! All the classes are great and... read more I have at least 1 of each in my weekly routine. The PT sessions with Tegan are great as she takes the time to understand what my goals are and then pushes me when I need to. The recent introduction of HIIT sessions with Baz are a hit with me! A smaller group session allowing me to focus on my boxing technique with a professional trainer breaks up the larger class sessions.
But mostly it's simply the people. Both members and trainers. It's like a family that genuinely cares for your well being. You know you want to join up! 🙂

I've trained mostly with Ruben, Sandy, Lachie and Tegan and they're all a bunch of legends (shout out to Lachie for adding Missy Elliot and Timbaland to his playlist -... read more real MVP).
They mix up their classes frequently so it's always challenging and you learn something new every week. The gym is always clean, which I love because I've been to some gross ones, and it has everything you need equipment-wise if you're not into classes.
Classes cover everything from cardio to strength to flexibility and mobility (Spin Bikes, Boxing, SFX, Yoga, Pilates etc) and the trainers don't slack off either.
Membership is affordable too. You can go to any class as many times as you want plus have access to the gym and you don't need to sell an organ to do so.
Sarah Tonkin 04/02/2021
Best gym ever! Staff and members are super friendly and helpful. Not too crowded and heaps of equipment.
