Before you join

Questions before you start

I've never trained before — is that okay?

Yes. Every class is coached by a qualified strength coach and capped at twelve people, so beginners get plenty of attention alongside experienced lifters.

What should I bring to my first session?

Comfortable training clothes, closed shoes and a water bottle. Your coach will talk you through the rest on the day.

What's the difference between a strength class and open gym?

Strength classes are coached sessions capped at twelve. Open gym lets you train your own programme on the floor at your own pace.

Do you offer personal training as well as classes?

Yes. Alongside strength classes and open gym, we offer one-on-one personal training for members who want individual coaching.

What are your opening hours?

We're open Monday to Friday 5:30am–8pm and Saturday 7am–12pm at 14 Sydenham Rd, Marrickville.

Which membership should I choose?
