Reviews of The Gym in the Armoury (Gym)

Celina Ray

I’ve been training for many years and was looking for a gym that met my needs after moving to the County a few months ago. I’m so happy to have found Rob and his gym. His training style and equipment perfectly suited the type of workouts that I prefer - functional fitness and weight training. I enjoyed being a part of the small group sessions, as well as coming in to do my own sessions during the open gym hours. Rob caters his training to your fitness level, even in the group sessions. I appreciated his careful attention to your form when performing the exercises. Rob also fosters a very friendly and relaxed vibe in his group sessions, so it’s fun while getting the work done. What’s more, Rob and his partner, Kayleigh, are awesome people who give back to the community. Their doggy, Icebox, does the same by giving you the happiest welcome as you walk in :)

I couldn’t have been luckier to move to Picton and have The Gym open at the same time. Rob and Kayleigh - on top of being all round kind and generous people - are awesome trainers with a refreshing research-backed and community-oriented approach to fitness. Even in their group fitness classes, every individual’s needs and fitness levels are carefully considered and catered to, making it accessible for anyone. I feel myself getting stronger with every class and I can’t wait to continue on my fitness journey at The Gym.

I love the personal approach to Rob's training. He really takes the time to understand what you are hoping to get out of it and is with you every step of the way to assure the right amount of effort is put in without injury. I highly recommend him as a personal trainer!

Absolutely great gym. Rob does a great job meeting people where they're at with their fitness and helping them with programming that works towards their fitness goals. His Covid arrangements are very well thought out and I'm confident that I'm safe while working out.

The Gym in the Armoury was the perfect place to work out while I was on holidays in PEC. The gym has spin bikes, two bench press stations, barbells, boxes, and all the free weights you could need (I’m probably forgetting a few things). There are no cable machines, but they have plenty of different resistance bands. Open gym time is $10 and the classes are $20 (although they have deals if you’re around for longer than I was). The classes provided a great workout and, while strength-focused, included cardio as well. Ice Box is the gym dog and one of the many reasons this place is worth a visit, in addition to the affordable prices, convenient location in downtown Picton, and really friendly and knowledgeable owners, Rob and Kayleigh. (You have to walk through the building’s main floor and then down the stairs to get to the gym).

Rob's approach to strength and fitness is refreshing. Of all the trainers I've worked with, Rob is the first to address underlying issues with my own movements. Building that foundation has made me strong in the right ways, and Rob is truly invested in my fitness journey. So grateful!

Very professional and knowledgeable owner.

Love this gym and all it has to offer. Rob is a fantastic trainer and a really great guy. I love to feel every muscle exhausted the next day from the work outs!

Rob and Kayleigh(and Icebox) are wonderful new ~ ish (Happy 1st anniversary!) members of our community in every way. Their commitment to a fitness philosophy that addresses the needs of all members of the community is unique and very professional. Their sensitivity to the culture of PEC and desire to reach out wherever possible to enrich and help out with projects is so appreciated especially as they have been working so hard establishing their new business. Congratulations! We are so happy you are here.
