A fitness facility is a health, recreational and social space geared toward exercise, sports and other physical activities. It can be a commercial for-profit facility or a community or institutionally supported center.
Fitness spaces usually include a cardio theater or cardiovascular area with workout equipment and often TVs for people to watch while they work out. These facilities may also have group instruction rooms and indoor and outdoor pools.

Doherty’s Gym
Doherty’s Gym has always advertised itself as an “old school gym”. This means it is a hardcore facility that concentrates on free weights. It is by no means for soccer mums and it’s aimed at the guys who have bigger biceps than brains.
It is also a great place to train with other serious lifters. They have an excellent range of equipment, and are open 24/7. It is located under Flinders Street station, and has a cool underground atmosphere. It is very affordable, with casual passes starting at $10 US.
The facility is small, but it has a lot of equipment. It also has a sauna, tanning, and indoor batting cages. The gym is also a favorite of many fitness YouTubers, as it has an old-school feel.
David Barton’s Gym
David Barton is back in the gym business, though not in his own name. The fitness entrepreneur was a leader in the nightclub-like club concept, attracting downtown fashionistas and powerlifters to his facilities with thumping music and glam branding. But after selling his namesake gyms and his TMPL chain in 2016, he is now entering the New York City luxury gym market again with Gym U.
The space is disco dark and filled with black fitness machines adorned with dramatic lighting, Barton’s signature feature. Members use the gym’s app to scan their profile into the cardio equipment and have their workout programmed for them. The gym also has a 25-meter salt water pool and an IMAX-style virtual reality spin studio. Guests can also enjoy a full spa and a salon.
