From our members
Inner West beginners, now lifting every week
I had never touched a barbell. The induction showed me how to set up the rack, and by the end of my free week I was squatting with a coach checking every rep. I'm still here, three classes a week.
With twelve in a class the coach actually sees you. I came for the free week to see if I'd fit in, and the open gym is where I practise what we learned that morning.
I thought I'd need to get fit before I started. The coaches began me on an empty bar and built from there. Six months on I deadlift my own body weight.

Before your first visit
Everything to know before your first session
Do I need to be fit or have experience to start?
Your free week starts with an induction that shows you the equipment, and your coach starts you at a weight that suits you today. Beginners start here every week.
What's the difference between strength classes, open gym and personal training?
Strength classes are coached, programmed sessions for up to twelve people. Open gym is time on the floor to train on your own. Personal training is one-on-one coaching with a coach of your own.
What should I bring to my first session?
Comfortable clothes you can move in, flat shoes, a water bottle and a towel. The bars, plates and racks are all here.
Is it safe to lift if I've never done it before?
Your coach teaches each lift with a light bar first and watches your form in every class. You add weight when your coach sees you're ready.
Do I book classes ahead?
Yes. You book each class on the timetable before you come in, and your coach shows you how at your induction.
What happens after my free week?
You choose how to keep training: Unlimited, Three classes a week or a Ten-class pass. Your coach talks you through what each one includes.
