Why Members Love Training Here
Do I need any gym experience to join?
Not at all! Functional Fitness is designed with beginners in mind. Our quiet, non-intimidating environment means you can learn at your own pace, and our team is always on hand to help. Whether it’s your first time in a gym or you’re returning after a break, you’ll feel right at home.
Is there a joining fee?
No — there are absolutely no joining fees at Functional Fitness. You simply choose the membership that suits you and get started straight away. We believe getting fit shouldn’t cost you before you’ve even set foot in the door.
What are your opening hours?
We’re open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. With 24/7 access, you can train whenever it suits your schedule — early morning, late night, or any time in between.
How much does a membership cost?
Memberships start from just $21.95 per week. We offer a range of options to suit different needs and budgets. Visit our Memberships page for full details or book a free tour and we’ll walk you through the best option for you.
What equipment do you have?
Functional Fitness is equipped with modern, commercial-grade equipment — including cardio machines, free weights, cable machines, and a dedicated private reformer Pilates studio. We also have specialist equipment you won’t find in most gyms. Check out our Special Equipment page for the full
list.
Do you offer personal training?
Yes! Our experienced personal trainers – including Troy, voted Brisbane’s Best Personal Trainer by the Courier Mail – offer fully tailored 1:1 sessions designed around your specific goals — whether that’s weight loss, strength building, injury rehabilitation, or general fitness. No cookie-cutter programs here.
What is reformer Pilates and is it suitable for beginners?
Reformer Pilates uses a specialised machine to deliver a low-impact, full-body workout that improves strength, flexibility, and posture. It’s suitable for all fitness levels, including complete beginners. Our private sessions mean you get focused attention from an instructor — perfect if you’re new to Pilates.
Where are you located?
We’re located at 1/26 Commercial Road, Newstead QLD 4006 — right in the heart of Newstead, close to Fortitude Valley and New Farm. There’s parking available nearby and we’re accessible by public transport.
Is the gym busy and crowded?
One of the things our members love most is how quiet and uncrowded we are. As a boutique gym, we deliberately keep our membership numbers low, so you never have to wait for equipment or feel like just another face in the crowd. It’s one of the reasons people call us a hidden gem.
