Mentone at the moment but probably move to Albert Park area when we buy as we want to be nearer the city.

I know that 'outsiders' can join the gym and/or the tennis after paying an appropriate joining fee and annual subscription. The SL's tennis club is fiendlishly expensive compared to a normal club - I got a leaflet out of interest. Court hire on a casual basis is quite expensive too. The waterfront cafe and the restaurant in the golf clubhouse are both excellent and the latter will take people off the street, despite the signs.
Just to go completely off thread.
Anyone who plays tennis should seriously consider having a game at Melbourne Park. The courts are available for hire 50 weeks of the year on all except the Rod Laver Arena. If you ring up for a booking ask for one of the show courts (which aren't any extra), court hire is very reasonable and less than SL's. We've hired Margaret Court arena and the 2nd and 3rd show courts in the past. There is a great restaurant and shop too and you'll always see stars or future stars at work.OzTennis

But we thought our money would be better invested here.
It's good for schools here which is handy as we have two small children.
It takes about 15 minutes to get into the city.
There's a couple of gyms nearby, one in Sinnot st, which is the Princes Highway and another in Centro shopping centre which is in Altona Meadows.

We haven't played on the indoor courts but will do so some time. Last time we looked in there we saw Stoltenberg, Fromberg, Reid and Woodbridge hitting if the names mean anything?
