“One of Melbourne’s most loved ... and most filmed boxing gyms.”
When it comes to the location these companies and television programs, have chosen to work with Fitness Ring for the look, style and availability. It’s a credit to the Fitness Ring and all those involved.
“In January of 2019 we needed a location for a photographic shoot featuring Richmond football star Dustin Martin.
When we stumbled upon photos of The Fitness Ring online, we were immediately excited that we had, “found our location”. Tonia and the team at The Fitness Ring could not have been more accommodating. They made their wonderful facility available for us to scout prior to our shoot and then again on our shoot day. Nothing was a problem and we were made to feel welcome from bump in to bump out. Coffee was on offer and the question, “do you guys need anything?” asked regularly. In addition, we felt we had all the space we needed to capture what exactly what we wanted and keep our talent happy, comfortable and in the right frame of mind to deliver a great performance. We were extremely happy with the results of our shoot as was our client.
The urban grittiness of The Fitness Ring made it a great location. The flexible, attentive nature of the Fitness Ring team made it a perfect location.”
“Over two seasons of the successful TV series Counter Play we had the pleasure to film with the Fitness Ring Boxing studio. They accommodated our filming requirements with ease & a great sense of humour, I would like to film more with them & have no hesitation in recommending them.”
“Love the angles and the gritty reality and atmosphere of the Fitness Ring. There is a spirit about the place that is evident in every shot. Love filming in this space.”
