We're committed to offering programs and services at our facilities to support people of all abilities to stay healthy, fit and well.
Empower
Our Empower program is designed for people with chronic conditions who require minimal support. It’s an inclusive, fun and supportive space to meet others and stay fit. Empower participants must be able to move independently around the gym without assistance.
What happens in an Empower class?
In this program you’ll train independently with the supervision and guidance of an experienced gym instructor. Empower is designed to help you maintain an exercise routine that keeps you strong and active.
Empower+
Our Empower+ program offers supported strength training for individuals with disabilities requiring a higher level of support than our Empower program. Participants must attend each session with their own carer or support person, who will receive free entry. Together with our experienced gym instructors, they will use a variety of equipment to build strength.
What happens in an Empower+ class?
Our passionate and friendly Gym Instructors will supervise the class, and your carer will support you to do strength exercises using a wide range if gym equipment. We’ll discuss your fitness and strength goals and help you reach them!
How do I join?
Before you join, you’ll need to have an initial assessment, where our one of our instructors will design you a tailored program to meet your goals. You can book an assessment with our Gym Instructors online or by visiting us at reception.
