About PLAY
PLAY is a small-group training gym in Elsternwick led by owner-coach Murray Player, where the focus is squarely on form, fun and showing up consistently. Built around functional training, HIIT, strength and conditioning, it has earned a glowing local reputation as a place that turns the gym from a chore into something members genuinely look forward to.
The sessions are dynamic and varied, with no two workouts quite the same, and they are designed to scale from complete beginner to advanced in the same room. Reviewers credit Murray's enthusiasm, creativity and patient coaching for making returns to training feel approachable, correcting technique as they go and helping members improve week on week. Over years of running the floor he has fostered a community of varied ages and backgrounds where everyone feels welcome.
Classes run mornings and evenings, with the gym open before and after for those who want to do their own thing. It suits Elsternwick locals after a supportive, community-driven space, whether you are stepping into a gym for the first time or want fresh, well-coached programming to keep you progressing.
