Parking

There is no all-day parking available on the surrounding streets.

There is a parking lot directly across the road. It won’t hold all of the cars.
There is another car park at Coles, enter from Kerr Street (between Brunswick and FItzroy Sts).

We highly recommend using public transport.

Public transport (tram)

Route 96 - St. Kilda Beach to East Brunswick (via CBD)
This tram runs along Nicholson St, get off at Stop #16 (Kay St).
Cross Nicholson St and walk down Rose St, walk to the corner of Fitzroy St.
Turn right, you can’t miss the gym.

Route 112 - St. Kilda to West Preston (via CBD)
This tram runs along Brunswick St, get off at Stop #17 (Leicester St).
Walk back along Brunswick St (toward the CBD) then turn right into Rose St, walk to the corner of Fitzroy St.
You can’t miss the gym.

Coffee

Cafes and purveyors of coffee abound in Fitzroy. Our favourites are:

1. Mario’s - 303 Brunswick St Fitzroy 3065
2. Cafe Nova - 307 Brunswick St Fitzroy 3065
3. The Fitz Cafe - 347 Brunswick St Fitzroy 3065

Food

There are so many food choices on Brunswick St - a mere 2 minutes walk from the gym that your head might explode! Here are a few:

1. Mario’s - highly recommended for breakfast
2. Vegie Bar - 378 Brunswick St Fitzroy 3065 - yumm-o but not Zone-friendly
3. Grill’d Burgers - Rear 350 Brunswick St, Corner of Kerr St (behind Ministry of Style) - Delicious (and they have salads too)
4. ...
