  • "UVSL is a very unique place. It's amazing how much progress can be achieved with the right guidance. I am incredibly happy that I have joined, and I highly recommend UVSL to any woman that wants to get strong and fit in no time. Coaching is marvellous, and the variety of classes is fantastic. It's hard work, but truly rewarding. I have started from 2 classes a week, and after 2 months I am doing 5, and I LOVE IT!!! Very affordable, very well-organized, and simply the best!!!"

I look forward to going to the gym, which is something I’d never thought I’d say! Ellie and her team are approachable and experienced coaches who make the experience amazing! Highly recommend to all ladies in the area!"

  • "The best gym I’ve ever been to! I’ve always struggled to stay consistent with Pilates/doing my own thing, but I love the classes at UVSL and haven’t missed a week since I joined. Such an inclusive and judgment-free environment, and the trainers are amazing" ❤️❤️❤️

  • "I recently joined UVSL and in this short time I already feel stronger, my body is changing shape, my energy levels have increased, and my joy factor has up-leveled. What a holistic improvement! The classes are varied, the trainers are genuine, the vibe is uplifting, and I feel wholeheartedly supported and encouraged, both in class and in the app. Ellie, you’ve created something truly fabulous for all women that walk through your doors."

  • "I was very nervous to get back into the gym after over a year of injury and lack of confidence. I didn’t want to go to a ‘normal’ gym because I knew if I did it on my own without proper technique I’d eventually be back to square one with more injuries. I needed a solution but struggled to find somewhere that I could afford and feel a sense of community. I’m feeling super confident that right now, this is the place where I can get fit and strong again. I’m ready to achieve my fitness goals for 2025!"

  • "UVSL has completely transformed my body. The education and tips that I have learned from the instructors have been huge and made me see results so much quicker than anything else I tried previously (I even had PTs). Everyone is so friendly and helpful, and truly it is built to move at your own pace."

  • "I absolutely love UVSL. I’ve never been confident with weight training or appreciated how important it is before working with Ellie and the UVSL team. A few months in, and I’m so much stronger—it’s helped my confidence and my strength (I can carry my daughter easily now and run faster and further). Such a great example of how a female-owned and run business shines! Give it a go, it’s the best x"

  • "Best women’s gym in Melbourne! Great fun, vibe, and sense of community. The workouts are carefully designed, making it easy to push yourself or not, depending on how you feel that day or what fitness level you are. The workouts are not repetitive. Highly recommend!"

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
    Casey Jayne

  • "Could not be happier I joined UVSL. This is the first time I have committed to a gym for a whole year! Ellie and the team have been wonderful. Motivating and helpful in teaching me technique when I was too embarrassed to go to any other gym because of “form.” The workouts are great and keep me coming back each week feeling stronger!"
