Why do Brookvale locals choose a private studio?
Brookvale has plenty of commercial gym options (Anytime Fitness, Fitness First, F45). Locals choose Mr PT Fitness for individual programming, full equipment without membership fees, and one coach for the entire programme. The reasons that come up most:
- Lower per-session price than franchise PT at the chains
- No queue for the rack at 6pm
- Programme written for one body, not a class of 20
- Same coach every session, not a roster of staff

Mr PT Fitness vs Anytime Fitness Brookvale: the maths
For 1-on-1 training, Mr PT Fitness is around $55/wk for one session. Anytime Fitness Brookvale is $19/wk membership + $80 to $95 per PT session, totalling ~$100/wk for the same amount of 1-on-1 time. What you trade for the difference:
- Anytime: 24/7 access, broader equipment range, multiple PTs to choose from
- Mr PT: individual programming, single dedicated coach, lower per-session price
If you mostly self-train and want a coach occasionally, Anytime can win. If you want consistent 1-on-1 PT, the studio usually wins.
