New - QueerFit gym program at Fitzroy Swimming Pool

We're launching a new QueerFit program at Fitzroy Swimming Pool. 

18 Sep 2025

We’re excited to introduce Queer Fit, an instructor lead HIIT class that welcomes the LGBTQIA+ community. Launching Thursday 9 October at Fitzroy Swimming Pool, QueerFit provides an inclusive, welcoming space where community members can feel safe and comfortable while working out. 

Where and when? 

QueerFit gym sessions will take place on Thursdays from 6.45pm at Fitzroy Swimming Pool in the group fitness studio.

What to expect?

  • Inclusive and welcoming space - feel comfortable and accepted in a fitness environment for LGBTIQA+ community members.
  • Supportive community - connect with others who share similar experiences, build friendships, and support each other’s health goals.
  • Boost your confidence – getting fit and healthy with likeminded people, try new exercises in a safe, non-judgemental setting.
  • Tailored guidance - qualified instructors who are experienced in creating inclusive environments.
  • Physical and mental wellbeing - improve strength, mobility, and overall health while reducing stress in a positive environment.
  • Access to other fitness opportunities - build confidence to attend open gym sessions and other fitness programs across the Yarra Leisure network.

How to be involved?

QueerFit is available to casual participants and members. You can book into a session through our online portal or in person at one of our centres.
