Small group strength training · Kew

Strength,
coached properly.

Train in a group of twelve or fewer, with a coach who knows your name, your history and what you're working towards. Built for people who want to keep training for years, not weeks.

Free 15-minute call or a visit to the gym. No obligation, no sales pitch.

How it starts

Three steps. No guesswork.

You won't be thrown into a class and left to figure it out. Everyone starts the same way.

01

Free intro

A 15-minute call or a visit to the gym. Tell us what you want from training and what's got in the way before. We'll tell you honestly whether we're the right fit.

02

1:1 onboarding

A session with a coach before your first class: a movement assessment, a strength and flexibility check, and a plan for your goals and any injuries.

03

Train in small groups

Classes are capped at 12. Everyone follows the same program, and each exercise is adjusted to suit you, so a group class feels like personal training.

Memberships from $110 a fortnight
No lock-in · Cancel with 14 days’ notice · Free intro first

Who we coach

Start where you are

Most people who walk in fit one of these. All of them train in the same classes, with the work adjusted for them.

Learning the basics

Never lifted, or it's been a while? We teach the movements step by step and build load only once you own them. Every class has an easier version of every exercise.

Coming back stronger

A sore back, a dodgy knee or a long break. We work around what needs care, keep progressing what you can do, and work with physio and rehab partners when you need more.

Getting stronger

You've trained for years but progress has stalled. Structured blocks, regular testing and a coach watching your technique give you something solid to work towards.

Questions

Before you start

How much does it cost?

Unlimited classes are $145 a fortnight. If you'd rather come twice a week, it's $110 a fortnight. Students are $110 a fortnight, and there's a 10-class pass for $330. See full pricing.

Do I need to be fit already?

No. Every exercise has easier and harder versions, and your coach picks the right one for you. Plenty of members started with no training experience at all.

Is there a lock-in contract?

No. You can cancel or change your membership at any time with 14 days' notice, and there are no fees for doing so.

What happens at the free intro?

A 15-minute phone call or a short visit to the gym. We ask what you want from training, answer your questions and suggest where to start. If we're not the right fit, we'll say so.

I have an injury. Can I still train?

Usually, yes. We adjust exercises around what needs care and keep you progressing everywhere else. If you need more support, we work alongside Sterling Physiotherapy and Rehab Plus.
