I have been a member of this gym for over 2 years and see familiar faces every time I work out, however I still feel that the service isn't very personal and really only caters to the 25-35yr old crowd.

The gym has become more popular in the last six months and I can see that they will need to update the space, if they wish to fit everybody, and maintain a comfortable atmosphere for working out.

The hours are also not as flexible as I would like. Being able to work out past 9pm would be great!

Approximate cost: $2700 p/a

Rixons employ a large amount of staff, so the service really depends on who you get and how experienced they are. I have had my hair cut by Kylie on many occasions and she consistently does an okay job. I think the salon is much more suited to trendy female cuts, than mens hair.

Approximate cost: $70-$150

I have been here on four occasions for a wax, only because it's the only place in Geelong that specialises as a men's only salon. I keep hoping that the treatments will improve, but even after a year and a change in management/ownership, the quality of the service is pretty poor and hygiene is not where it should be. Unfortunate, seeing as I end up with infections each time.

Approximate cost: $60-$100

When Matty G first opened, he used to cut all of the clients himself, but has since started hiring inexperienced hairdressers that really couldn't give a damn about the cut. They have since raised their prices considerably.

Even if you book with Matt, you'll probably end up with Elise. Stay away! She's horrible!

Approximate cost: $30

The guys and girls at Malibu are very nice and attentive, however they are sometimes a little too distracted by their friends coming to visit during work hours.

You can save quite a lot by buying passes for multiple visits and they used to give you free accelerator as well (sorely missed!).

To buy accelerator from them is a little expensive, but you can easily just bring your own and they don't make a fuss like other nearby tanning salons.

Approximate cost: $15

The staff here tend to be quite young, and not as attentive as I would prefer. A trendy crowd lives in this cafe on weekend mornings, so it can get quite busy and crowded. However, the food is generally nice.

Approximate cost: $15

Barbara and Mary own and run this fantastic cafe, and they provide me with excellent catering for meetings. The costs are spot on and the food is always fresh and delicious!

Also an excellent place for a quick bite to eat in your lunch break. Delicious wraps and paninis are around $7-$10.

Approximate cost: $10

The cost obviously depends on the treatment you require, but I do believe that the dentists at this clinic provide an excellent service, in a very personal atmosphere.

Approximate cost: $200

The service was relatively good, I found that my carpets were cleaned in a short amount of time, but some areas should have been given a little more attention.

Approximate cost: $95

The pizza's generally take 40 minutes to prepare and cook and are among the best I have ever tasted! Unfortunately the service is not very good, the staff are quite rude and unpleasant.

Approximate cost: $30
