Questions
Do I need to book to use the gym floor?
No. The floor is first come, first served during opening hours. Only classes, PT and the guided Sauna & Breath sessions need booking.
I have never lifted before. Is this the right gym?
Yes. Every membership and free pass starts with an induction, and Strength Foundations exists exactly for this. Nobody is going to judge your warm-up weight.
Are there changing rooms and showers?
Two changing rooms with eight showers each, hairdryers, and lockers with your own code. Shampoo and body wash are provided.
Can I bring a friend?
Unlimited members get one guest pass a month. Anyone else can send their friends a free 3-day pass instead.
Is the ice bath safe for everyone?
Not for everyone. If you have a heart condition, high blood pressure or are pregnant, speak to Rebecca or your doctor first. First-timers get a short briefing before using it.
Can I freeze my membership?
Yes, up to 8 weeks a year on Open Gym and Unlimited, or 4 weeks on Off-Peak, for travel, injury or exams. Ask at the desk or email us.
