Historic 1860s swimming facility in Melbourne's CBD with modern indoor pools, spa, sauna, group fitness classes, and professional swimming lessons. Conveniently accessible by public transport.
π Family Action Verdict
A strong choice for families wanting structured swimming lessons in a well-maintained, centrally located facility. The lesson program quality stands out - instructors adapt to individual swimmers rather than running a one-size session. The historic building adds context for older children interested in Melbourne's history.

βToday I went to view Melbourne city baths as Iβm looking for a home gym in the CBD, I was greeted by the lovely Joe at reception. Joe gave a very informative tour, he answered all of my questions and queries. Gyms can be intimidating at times and Joe really went to an effort making me feel comfortable while in the space, he was a complete gentleman. Itβs experiences like this that can really make or break your perception as at times gyms can be not so female orientated and where customer service really matters. While viewing the gym I was surprised to see how vast and how many spaces are accessible for use, with ample machines and classes to choose from. The building its self is incredibly cool with a deep history. The customer service especially from Joe was second to none as well as the facilities. Best gym in Melbourne so far!β

βJoined free summer swimming lessons for a week, loved it! Special thank you to Vanessa and her amazing positive energy, individual support, and encouragement. You pushed me in a way that helped me improve so fast in such a short time and gain so much confidence in the water. Your classes were fun and supportive, and you made every session a joy! πβ

βThe night view of this classic building was gorgeous. Some reviews said that the build has been repurposed to be a modern stadium with swimming lanes. Yet I do not have a chance to visit.β
