Australia's impossibly cheapest (sometimes 24/7) gym just got impossibly cheaper. How or why they can do this is a mystery to you as it is to me.

I go to the Frankston one, it's never too busy and I like it there. However its still not back to 24/7, even though all the key fob hardware seems to be installed. Take caution on if your closest gym is one affected by "temporary" restricted trading hours if that would affect your workout.

edit: for those interested, frankston is finally transitioning over to the fob system this week and will return to 24/7, albeit with reduced staffed hours.

            @ferguson: That's the idea of money laundering though. You flush cash through the business that isn't business related, pay the tax, and suddenly it is legitimate, ie washed & cleaned, hence laundered

            It's just a cost of doing business to legitimise the funds. With the tools at the Government's disposal including data sharing for asset purchases & comparison with tax returns lodged, it's going to be necessary to explain where funds came from. I'm not even sure the Government cares as long as it gets its cut

          • Sammyboy on 01/05/2025 - 13:35

            @ferguson: Its to clean the money, and yes pay tax, but then it becomes "legit"

        • thefud on 12/05/2025 - 16:00

          Depends on where hey. If i go rush hour at my local one it is horrid. I would only recommend for those able to go outside of rush hour (before 9/after 4or5 is the usual rush hour). I typically go mid day which is not packed and nice

      Heaps of sign-ups, most people go once or twice and never again… don't cancel their membership as it's admitting failure to themselves.
      Gym owners marketing 101 - sign up as many people as possible, especially in lower socio-economic areas, which Derrimut targets.

    Seems suss. Rumours of possible shutdown. My local had a toilet that was out of action for months. When I asked around, other Derrimut Gyms had maintenance issues too.

    I'd be cautious.

      They run these promos prices every year. They ran them last year, the year before and they year before that too. They make a lot of money from supplements, meals etc as well.

      • Borgasm on 30/04/2025 - 21:52

      I train at the original Derrimut in Derrimut. Broken machines usually get fixed in two weeks time. I still see the Derrimut clean team everyday to vacuum and clean. Though no sign of Key fob system being installed.

    $5.95 X 52 = $309.40

    That's a $161.40 premium if you don't have $148 today.

    Being poor is expensive :(

    • AustriaBargain on 30/04/2025 - 22:19

      They do take Afterpay too.

    • marcozmitch on 30/04/2025 - 22:21

      The benefit though is that if you have concerns that they are going to close soon, you won't have outlaid money ahead of time.
      $6 a week is so cheap though.
      If you are lucky enough to live conveniently near by and are not a member yet, get your strides on!

    https://consumerrights.wiki/index.php?title=Derrimut_Gym_rev…

    In late February 2025, Derrimut notified members that effective March 3, 2025, several gym locations would no longer operate 24/7. The new hours would be limited to 6am-10pm on weekdays and 8am-5pm on weekends.[3]

    This change was announced:

    Just 6 days before implementation
    Approximately 5 days after their "cheapest sale ever" ended
    Without offering automatic refunds or compensation for reduced service

    Affected locations included multiple gyms across Adelaide, including Melrose Park, Port Adelaide, Seaford Meadows, Smithfield, Rundle Mall, and Welland, as well as locations in other states.

    Following member backlash, Derrimut sent follow-up emails stating they would transition to key fob access systems within 2-4 weeks that would restore 24/7 access.

    Take that as you will.

    • FlourishingFarter on 30/04/2025 - 23:19

    This deal is crazy good. Just extended my existing membership by 12 months.

    Terms stipulate that you need to go into the store within 7 days of purchase to extend your membership so remember this.

    Any refund incurs a $49 fee

  • superfly21 on 01/05/2025 - 08:41

    People have been saying it's a cash grab to close down since 2013, not defending the owners since they are suss but yeah, still hasn't happened

    • FXx on 01/05/2025 - 09:22

      Their marketing is to sign up maximum patrons, most of whom never go anyway.. if not once or twice.
      It's known in the gym owner's world, you just need sign-ups. Even though Derrimut looks crowded, it's NOTHING compared with how many are actually members.
      People don't like cancelling because they're giving in to their unhealthy, lazy reality.

  • Some Random Guy on 01/05/2025 - 12:25

    How does the top up work? My partner goes and signed up November or around about there.

    Is the top up a 12month extension on top of the current contract? Or you lock in extra months after the last contract for $149? Or $149 minus amount of weeks of cross over?

    (I.e. does it make sense to buy the top up now or just wait for black Friday sale as the old contract is about to go out the window?)

    Seems quite black box so anyone with experience lmk!
    Cheers

    • FR3D99 on 01/05/2025 - 14:43

      It'll be on top of the current contract, so add an additional 12 months to your current expiry.

    I’ve been a member since 2020 and mainly use their gym in Airport West. However, I’ve noticed a significant decline in maintenance. Many machines have been out of order for the last 12 months or more. Less than a 1/3 of the treadmill actually work.
    Free weights section is somewhat acceptable, especially at that price point!
