Support from day one
Every member starts with an induction and a short health questionnaire. From there, choose classes that start gently, one-on-one personal training, or our Premium membership with a personal program and regular reviews.
Free community education sessions on healthy ageing, nutrition and wellness education for Premium members, DEXA scans through a radiology partner, and allied health services planned for the future.

How 24/7 access works
From opening day, members will have secure access to the gym any hour of the day, every day of the year, using the member app on their phone or a swipe tag. Early mornings and late evenings are usually the quietest times, perfect if you like a bit of space while you get comfortable. Staffed hours will be confirmed before opening, and you can book classes around them.
Every member will get an induction
Before you train on your own, we'll walk you through the gym, show you how the equipment works and help you put together a simple plan. You'll never be left wondering what a machine does.
Classes
Five classes. Start where you are.
From gentle mobility to progressive strength, with unlimited classes included in most memberships.
Founding memberships from $17.95 a week, with no joining fee and classes included. Your rate stays for as long as you stay a member. We open on Tuesday 2 March 2027.
