Building a place to train at home sounds simple until you start shopping. A power rack takes up half the garage. Most gymnastics mats are made for clubs, not living rooms. Kids' play equipment often comes in loud colours that clash with the rest of the house. Many buyers end up ordering from several stores, each with its own delivery times, return rules and warranty terms.
Gym Plus is an Australian retailer that tries to put all of this in one place. The Melbourne-based company sells strength equipment, gymnastics apparatus, Pilates machines, aerial and dance gear, and soft play for young children. It also runs MEMAX, its own brand for kinder gym and gymnastics products. The brand's slogans, "Designed to feel good" and "Inviting Movement", point to its main goal: fitness spaces that work well and also look good at home.
In this Gym Plus review, we look at what the company sells, how its product lines compare, what its prices look like, and how its shipping, returns and warranty work. That should help you decide whether Gym Plus suits your home, studio or family.
What Is Gym Plus?
According to its About page, Gym Plus started in 2015 in Melbourne, Australia, as a gym equipment design specialist. The company says its purpose is to "spark a movement of movers who sweat, lift, laugh and live well, one beautiful gym setup at a time." Its founder is Lois X., whose light-hearted bio says she "used to be a workhorse."
The company says it serves more than 100,000 fitness fans and over 8,000 business clients. That means Gym Plus sells to both homeowners and commercial buyers, such as gyms, studios and childcare settings. It runs a showroom and click-and-collect point at 2/22 Furlong Street, Cranbourne West VIC 3977, open Monday to Friday from 10 AM to 4 PM.
The Gym Plus website groups its range into six main areas:
- Strength: power racks, flooring, benches, barbells, weights, storage and cable towers
- Gymnastics: beams, bars, rings, trampolines, inflatables and foam modules
- Kinder Gym: soft play, wooden structures and play mats for ages 0–6
- Mats & Padding: crash mats, training mats and protective padding
- Aerial, Pilates, Dancing: reformers, silks, ballet barres and pole fitness
- Active Outdoor: bikes and golf mats
What Makes Gym Plus Different?
Many equipment stores focus on one type of training. Gym Plus covers a wider range. A parent could buy a half rack for the garage, an air track mat for a child learning to tumble, and a soft play set for a toddler, all in one order. For families with mixed needs, that is the store's biggest strength.
The second thing that sets Gym Plus apart is design. The company says "function and beauty were never in conflict." You can see this in the catalogue. Racks and benches come in pink as well as black. Soft play modules come in Vivid, Pastel and Forest colour schemes. Wooden Swedish ladders and wall bars are made to fit a living space, not just a commercial gym.
Gym Plus also says its products are "tested, trusted, and backed by real feedback from real Aussies." Its after-sale terms are more generous than usual too. These include a 90-day money-back guarantee, a 365-day return window for unused items, a lifetime trade-in option, and lifetime structural warranties on its EVOLVE frames. We cover each of these in detail below.
Home Gym and Strength Equipment
The home gym collection is the core of the Gym Plus range. It covers the basics of a strength setup, from entry-level squat stands to wall-mounted folding racks for small spaces.
Power Racks and Squat Racks
At the time of writing, the rack range included:
- Fully Adjustable Squat Rack – $289.95
- Vibe Half Power Rack with Storage and Cable System – from $379.95
- Origin Half Power Rack – $449.95
- L2 Half Power Rack with Lat Pulldown System – from $459.95
- Essential Power Rack (Black) – from $629.95, with a pink version from $633.95
- ATTIVO Folding Wall Mount Power Rack – $679.95
The folding wall-mount rack is useful for garages that still need to fit a car. Half racks with built-in cable or lat pulldown systems let you do more exercises without buying a separate machine. You can also add a Cable Pulley System for the Essential Power Rack later for $238.95.
Weight Benches
Bench options start with the L2 Flat Weight Bench at $197.95 and the Sit Up Bench at $199.95. The L2 Adjustable Weight Bench, in black or pink, costs $369.95. The L3 FID Weight Bench, listed as commercial grade, costs $488.95. For bench pressing, there is also a Competition Flat Bench with Wide Pad from $319.95.
Storage and Wall-Mounted Gear
Gym Plus sells storage to keep a home gym tidy. The range includes a 3-Tier 400KG Dumbbell Rack for $319.95, a Single Bay Gym Storage Rack System for $569.95, and a modular L3 Fully Customisable Gym Storage System starting from $28.95. Wall-mounted options include a Multi-Grip Wall Mounted Pull Up Bar ($199.95), a Wall/Ceiling Mount Pull Up Bar ($217.95), and a Wooden Swedish Ladder Wall Stall Bar Set ($649.95). The ladder works for both adult mobility training and kids' climbing.
Garage Gym Packages and Cable Systems
If you don't want to choose each piece yourself, Gym Plus sells bundles. The Essential Garage Gym Package in pink was listed at $1,559.95, down from a regular price of $1,648.95. The homepage also featured the package at $1,559.95.
For more serious lifters, the higher-end EVOLVE line includes the Evolve Cable Tower at $2,699.95. There are also PEV Hex Dumbbells, sold individually from $25.95, or as full sets from $869.95. Small accessories are also available, such as a Chain Extension Cable Attachment for $9.95 and a Gym Plus Cotton Sweat Gym Towel for $19.95. Some "Blemish" items with small cosmetic marks are sold separately, so it is worth checking for those if you want a lower price on higher-end gear.
Gymnastics Equipment and Air Tracks
Gymnastics is where the MEMAX brand stands out. Gym Plus sells beams, bars, rings, springboards, trampolines and wall bars. It also sells crash mats from 10cm to 30cm thick, and carpet or tatami-surface training and MMA mats.
Air Tracks and Inflatables
Inflatable air tracks are among the store's most-reviewed products. A search of the site showed:
- MEMAX Inflatable Gymnastics Air Track Mat – from $239.95, marked "Best seller" with 138 reviews
- MEMAX Extra-Wide Inflatable Gym Mat (2M width) – from $459.95, marked "Best seller" with 33 reviews
- Inflatable Gymnastics Air Mat Set (3 pieces with electric pump) – from $509.95, reduced from $550.95
- MEMAX Air Roller inflatable trainer – from $145.95
- Gymnastic Air Block Mat 100x100x20cm – $165.95
- Electric Air Track Pump with 5 Nozzles – $49.95
Balance Beams and Starter Sets
For young gymnasts starting at home, the MEMAX Beginner Folding Balance Beam was featured on the homepage from $93.95. The 3 Piece Gymnastics Starter Combo with a foldable balance beam starts from $209.95. At the higher end, the MEMAX Foldable Training Balance Beam costs $469.95. Gymnastics bundles that include air tracks range from about $689.95 to $1,319.95.
Kinder Gym and Soft Play
The Kinder Gym range is for children aged 0–6. Products are grouped into 0–1, 1–3 and 4–6 year age bands. It includes soft climbers, soft blocks, ball pits, a Little Ninja collection, wooden structures and safety or tumbling mats. A site search for "soft play" returned 72 results. Examples include:
- MEMAX Soft Building Blocks (12 pieces) – $115.95
- MEMAX Baby Soft Play Seesaw Rocker – $145.95
- Baby Ball Pit 150x100cm – $279.95
- MEMAX Sensory Soft Climber (5 pieces) – $415.95
- Sensory Soft Play Climbing Blocks and Ball Pit (9 pieces, large) – $619.95
- MEMAX Sensory Explorer Adventure Soft Play Package (24 pieces) – $1,299.95, down from $1,403.80
Because the soft play comes in muted Pastel and Forest colour schemes as well as Vivid, it can suit a lounge room as well as a childcare centre.
Pilates Equipment
Gym Plus sells Pilates reformers, other apparatus and accessories. A search for "reformer" returned five products, all on sale at the time of writing:
- Foldable Pilates Reformer – $2,079.95 (from $2,495.95)
- GP ONE Pilates Reformer – $2,549.95 (from $2,859.95)
- Pilates Reformer with Alloy Frame – $2,599.95 (from $2,973.95)
- Pilates Ladder Barrel – $1,039.95 (from $1,099.95)
- Pilates Wunda Chair – $1,149.95 (from $1,499.95)
A foldable reformer makes sense for home users who can't leave a full-length machine out all the time. Selected Pilates frames also come with a 10-year structural warranty.
Aerial, Dance and Pole Fitness
Gym Plus also sells gear for aerial and dance training. The aerial range includes silks, hammocks and lyra hoops. The Aerial Lyra Complete Bundle starts from $1,149.95. There is also a Foldable Pull-Up and Aerial Yoga Stand for $249.95, which works for both pull-ups and aerial yoga. Dancers can choose studio, home or wall-mount ballet barres. Pole fitness buyers can find dancing poles, pole crash mats and pole extensions.
Customer Ratings and Reviews
The Gym Plus website shows an overall rating of 4.9 out of 5 from 2,784 reviews. It also says the brand is "trusted by 100K+ Aussies." Individual products show their own review counts. For example, the MEMAX Inflatable Gymnastics Air Track Mat shows 138 reviews and the GP ONE Pilates Reformer shows 6. These figures come from the merchant's own site, so treat them as a guide rather than an independent audit.
Gym Plus Pricing
Prices on the Australian site are in Australian dollars. Gym Plus covers a wide price range:
- Accessories: from under $20 (cable attachments, gym towels)
- Kids' soft play and beginner gymnastics: roughly $90–$620 per item
- Racks and benches: roughly $200–$680
- Bundles and packages: about $690–$1,560 for gymnastics and garage gym sets
- Premium equipment: $2,000+ for Pilates reformers and the Evolve Cable Tower
Many products were on sale when we checked, and bundles are usually cheaper than buying the same items one by one. Gym Plus accepts American Express, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Mastercard, PayPal, Shop Pay, Union Pay, Visa and Zip, according to the FAQ. Zip lets you spread the cost of larger purchases over time.
Shipping
The Gym Plus shipping page offers free metro shipping on orders over $250 to eligible areas. Orders under $250 are charged by product size and delivery location. Some regional postcode ranges in every state are excluded from free shipping. For those areas, the cost is calculated at checkout, and the company says it tries to get the lowest possible freight rate.
- Dispatch: within 1–2 business days after payment is confirmed
- Carriers: Australia Post or courier partners, depending on size and weight
- Multiple parcels: large items may arrive in 2–3 separate packages; allow 2–3 extra business days for the rest
- Pickup: available from the Cranbourne West warehouse, usually ready right after purchase
- Authority to Leave: turned on by default
Standard delivery does not include carrying items to a room, inside delivery, assembly or unpacking. Gym Plus currently ships only within Australia.
Returns
The Gym Plus return policy has several tiers:
- 90-day money-back guarantee: a full refund within 90 days of purchase, even if the item has been slightly used. You pay only the return shipping.
- Days 91–150: returns are accepted for store credit only.
- 365-day unused returns: unused items in their original packaging can be returned for a full refund for up to one year.
- Lifetime trade-in: covered items that don't qualify for the above can be traded in for a Gym Plus gift card worth 25% of their value.
There are some conditions. Customers pay return shipping to the Melbourne warehouse. A 20% repackaging fee applies to items returned without their original packaging. Custom orders can't be cancelled once manufacturing starts, and made-to-order items carry a 30% cancellation fee after production begins. If you return only part of a discounted bundle, you lose the bundle discount.
Warranty
Under the Gym Plus warranty policy, all products have a standard 12-month warranty against manufacturing defects under normal household use. Some product lines have longer cover:
- Lifetime: EVOLVE structural steel frames and welds
- 10 years: selected Pilates structural frames
- 5 years: L4 Pro Series equipment, System X, Oasis and Icon trainers, and EVOLVE attachments
- 3 years: springs and some structural components
To make a claim, contact Gym Plus with your order number, a description of the fault, and photos or videos. If the claim is approved, you get a Return Authorisation Number. After inspection, Gym Plus offers a replacement, refund or repair. The warranty does not cover misuse, accidents, normal wear and tear, cosmetic blemishes or modified products, and it can't be transferred to a new owner.
Who Should Consider Gym Plus?
Gym Plus is a good fit for:
- Australian home gym builders who want racks, benches and storage that look good in a garage or spare room
- Parents of young gymnasts looking for air tracks, beams and crash mats for home practice
- Families with toddlers who want soft play and Montessori-style climbers in calmer colours
- Pilates, aerial and dance fans who want studio-style equipment at home
- Small studios, gyms and childcare centres, since the company says it serves more than 8,000 business clients
Gym Plus is not an option for shoppers outside Australia, because it only ships within the country. Buyers in regional postcodes should also check shipping costs at checkout before assuming free delivery.
Is Gym Plus Worth It?
For Australian buyers, Gym Plus has a lot going for it. The range is wide enough to equip a whole household. Entry prices are reasonable for items like benches, squat racks and air tracks. Bundles and frequent sales can lower the cost of bigger setups. The after-sale terms are the strongest selling point. A 90-day money-back guarantee that covers lightly used items, a one-year window for unused items, and lifetime structural warranties on EVOLVE frames are more generous than many equipment sellers offer.
There are a few limits to keep in mind. You pay return shipping yourself, which can be expensive for heavy gear. The 20% repackaging fee means you should keep the original boxes. Standard delivery does not include assembly. Premium items like reformers and the Evolve Cable Tower cost over $2,000, so they are for committed users rather than casual buyers.
Final Verdict
Gym Plus stands out by combining equipment for strength training, gymnastics, Pilates, aerial fitness and early childhood play in one store, with a clear focus on design. Its catalogue ranges from $9.95 accessories to studio-grade reformers. It shows a 4.9/5 rating from 2,784 reviews on its own site and backs its products with a tiered return policy and long structural warranties. If you live in Australia and want a home gym or play space that works well and looks good, Gym Plus is worth adding to your shortlist. Check the eligible postcodes and current bundle deals before you order.
