Help out an Aussie nerd?

[Vella]

Hey, all. I was wondering if anybody could help me out gym-searching.

Here in Canberra, I've found an amazing gym - it's got a really great atmosphere, it's small, so everybody knows each other and it's friendly, and it's run by people who know what they're doing, which makes it great for a newb to throw questions and know they're getting a helpful answer.

 

Unfortunately, I'm moving to Melbourne in very short order. I need to find a new gym, but I have no idea where to look! I don't mind going to a bigger gym - my only absolute requirements are that there be decent freeweights and lifting equipment (because that's the only reason I go to the gym) and that I would much prefer a gym with a friendly or at least non-judgemental atmosphere (I don't mind a general 'do your thing and get out' culture, but for personal reasons I get very self-conscious, so a gym where I can reliably tell myself that the judging is all in my head and nobody really cares is a must).

 

Any Aussie fitness nerds know the gym scene in Melbourne?
