One of the best gyms I've ever trained at. I'm visiting from the UK and was blown away by both the quality of the equipment and the staff.
The equipment is top-notch and some of the best I've used anywhere. Everyone was incredibly friendly and helpful, and a special thanks to Adrian, who went above and beyond to show me around and help me sort a leg day out using machines im new too!
If I lived in Victoria, this would be my daily gym without question. Highly recommended!

The best gym i've been to probably ever! A quality place like this thats 24 hours is unheard of in Victoria but honestly ANYWHERE. If youre a true sicko for this stuff then you love all the variety they got like Atlantis, Cybex, etc.
Been a member at Truth for nearly 3 years and it is hands down the best gym in Victoria. Iβve been training with Yemi for the past couple of months and have seen amazing progress inside and outside the gym. What sets him apart is not just his knowledge in the gym, but how much he genuinely cares about your overall development.
He pushes you to be better while still making workouts enjoyable and sustainable. Beyond the gym, heβs been a huge help with guidance on lifestyle, consistency, and mindset, which has made a big difference in my results

Walking into any gym as a complete beginner β especially with weight training β was intimidating. After losing 75 pounds, I knew I was ready for the next step and I started working out with a friend but I didnβt realize how much guidance I still needed.
I had been training at Truth for a few months when I won a complimentary session at a charity event.
Thatβs when I met Yemi β and he turned out to be the missing piece in my fitness journey.
Every session with him was purposeful, structured, and incredibly informative. He clearly mapped out our weekly training plan and guided me through each set with intention.
He didnβt just tell me what to do β he explained why we were doing it, what muscles should be engaged, and what proper execution actually feels and looks like.
Yemi corrected my form with patience and precision. He helped me slow down, connect to the muscles I was working, and recognize the subtle ways my body shows fatigue β things I had never noticed before. That level of attention changed everything for me.
But what truly sets him apart is how he makes you feel.
Working with a trainer can be vulnerable and intimidating, especially when youβre still building confidence. Yemi created a space that felt safe, encouraging, and empowering. In one of our final sessions, he said something that will stay with me for life:
βYouβre allowed to take up space.β
That simple statement gave me something I didnβt even realize I was missing β confidence.
If youβre looking for a trainer who is knowledgeable, intuitive, kind, and knows exactly how to push you the right amount, I cannot recommend Yemi highly enough. He doesnβt just build strength β he builds belief.
