Strength training after 55.
Plenty of our members are over 55, in the same coached sessions as everyone else.
First session, half priceStrength matters more with age.
Muscle and bone
Australia’s guidelines for over-65s: strength exercises two or three times a week to keep muscle and bone strong.
Balance and falls
The WHO recommends over-65s train balance and strength three or more days a week to help prevent falls.
The rest of your life
Stairs, shopping, getting up off the floor. We train the movements behind them: squats, hinges, presses, pulls and carries.

Same session, your level.

Every exercise scales
A coach runs every session and adjusts each exercise to you. If a full squat doesn’t suit your knees, you’ll squat to a box. You set the weight.

02
Small groups
We cap groups at 12, so your coach can see how you’re moving and step in when something needs changing.

Start light, build up
Haven’t trained in years? Start at a level that feels easy and add a little over time. The health guidelines give the same advice.

Tell us what to work around
A joint replacement, arthritis, a dodgy shoulder. Tell your coach before your first session. If you have a heart condition or you’re not sure, check with your GP first.
Pick a way in.
Most people start in a group Strength session. If you’d rather learn the basics privately first, start one-on-one.
Your first session is half price. Wednesday is our Foundation day, the day that fixes the small things so the heavier sessions feel better. Sessions run at 6:00am, 7:00am, 9:30am, 5:30pm and 6:30pm.
Book your first sessionTrain privately with Josh or Ben on a program written for you, then join the group when you’re ready.
