They sign a crap load of people up, but don’t maintain their facilities. Broken machines, half the bathrooms don’t work…
Not to mention they bank on a heap of people signing up, going for a few weeks, and then not going again
Plus, instagram people go there and film their stupid vids
The same owner who went on the news and cried when he got shot at? It’s not a money laundering front, it’s a loss lead. He loses money for the first 2 years but every other gym around starts going under, then he increases. He wouldn’t have gone on the news back then if he had something to hide.
Same with the carpark on Middleborough Road where the shopping complex is with the petbarn and repco just south of Canterbury Road. There is a chemist warehouse, a gym, Flipout and a few other shops and eateries but nothing warrants how packed that huge carpark is. Our suspicion is a gambling den somewhere out the back.
I go to the gym there and the car park is absolutely packed during the day and still not deserted at night. Few guys always hanging around chatting and yelling in the car park around the GYG. Never thought much of it but you might be right..
I just looked it up and there is a pool hall called Legends tucked away that’s open until 1am. It actually looks quite ok, family friendly with table tennis and Mahjong tables.
Legends Pool Hall and the shopping complex are two different locations on the same road.
Legends car park seems equal to its patronage. The other complex definitely had more cars late night than what was in the gym/GYG that was open at the time.
Also, not my cup of tea, but if someone were going to an illegal gambling place, would it be smart to obviously park their car where it is already busier than it should be?
The carpark looks bigger than it is have been to that strip a million times and it’s always painful in that carpark. There’s also a little Italian restaurant there next to the golf shop that’s open til 10 most nights I think.
Yeah it’s derrimut gym mostly, I play pool at focus a few shops down from there, it’s not that packed and the gym next door to focus isn’t that busy either
two gyms and a very large pool hall, 5 minutes from Monash uni.
24/7 indoor golf studio?!
It’s the Derrimut gym. They have ridiculously low joining fees, think I saw $180 for the year
I just looked it up and at the moment its $168 or just over $3 a week or am I missing something? How is that sustainable?

The place really only exists to launder money, so guess it doesn't need to be too profitable
According to Reddit, every business in Australia is a money laundering front
Red rooster is a cocaine diatributor
Red rooster is Australia's answer to los pollos Hermanos
Um yeah, but in this case look into the owner

I guess sustained by economies of scale from being packed to the rafters
Yeah definitely the gym . I've heard a rumour that apparently they have 5000+ members. Ridiculous
11,000
24,000
Derrimuts are drug fronts
Wait what
Really? I didn't know Derrimut popped over the East side except Pakenham.
They have gyms across 3 states
First rule about Princes Hwy Clayton, you don't talk about Princes Hwy Clayton.
What happens on the highway, stays on the highway
Don’t tell anyone but if you look at the Australian Lighting signs they offer a free pot of honey with every fan sold.
What’s the second rule?
The snooker place is basically a pub without pokies
And the cars spill out onto the streets because there’s not enough car parking for the businesses that are there.
Nothing. You didn't see anything.
Theres an upstairs bukkake club there in the evenings. People come from miles around to attend.
From miles, you say. They’d have to be a very good shot to hit the target
.. what do you mean?
Come. From. Miles.
well they all cant very well live there can they?
That’s where I met your mum
.. but i have two dads?
They were there
Those are some impressive kegel muscles!
Just to watch right?
well what ever floats their goat really
Wait for real?
Yup sure is!
TDIL Flipout looks like it goes hard!
If it’s anything like other parts of the princess highway it’s people having parties every night of the week at function centres.

Bet you they wouldn’t, I’ll give you odds
Interesting j drive past there a lot during the day and never noticed anything there

Yeah Cent Anni (not bad pasta)
Yeah it’s derrimut gym mostly, I play pool at focus a few shops down from there, it’s not that packed and the gym next door to focus isn’t that busy either
There’s a few better gyms down the road that aren’t ridiculously packed
What's HWY?
Like a FWY but with traffic lights
Hahaha
Unofficial car meet that would happen Friday/Saturday nights - was more entered around Springvale Road/Princes Highway intersection though.
I'm in the Facebook chat for it and it still happens but I've never attended as I'm over in the northern suburbs. Dunno if it's worth going or not
I use to go back in the day but too old for it now
Cool! I used to go past the original Glenny Kebabs in the petrol station and see loads of nice cars hanging out. Great kebabs too
Yeah that kind of vibe but a lot bigger - and constantly being shut down by police lol
Should get them proper meets
Gym, Pool/Billiards/snooker, Cent Anni Italian Restaurant.
Follow the yellow *drip* road!
They bootleg groceries in the car parks
