Gym equipment upgrades

The gym, spin, group exercise and studio spaces will experience temporary closures as we upgrade our gym equipment in May. 

03 Apr 2025

We’ll be upgrading gym equipment across all our centres throughout May to improve accessibility, usability and provide more workout options for our members. 

During the upgrade period we anticipate each gym, studio, spin room and group exercise space will be closed to the public for five days. 

Small Group Training, Group Fitness, Spin, Move for Life, and Empower classes will also be cancelled. 

Learn to Swim, lap swimming, spa, sauna, steam access, Aqua, Deep Water Running, and SwimFit programs will continue as usual.

The upgrades will take place between Monday 5 May and Friday 23 May.
