- Private reformer Pilates studio access
- Secure app-based entry with CCTV throughout

Our three membership options
Choose the commitment that fits — the longer you commit, the lower your weekly rate. None of our memberships have a joining fee.
- $21.95 per week — 12-month membership. Best value for members who know they’ll train consistently for a year.
Join 12-Month → - $24.95 per week — 6-month membership. A middle option for members who want a meaningful commitment without locking in for a full year.
Join 6-Month → - $29.95 per week — 30-day rolling membership. Best for members who want maximum flexibility, are travelling, or just want to try us with no long-term commitment.
Join 30-Day Rolling →
All three tiers include the same 24/7 access and everything listed above. Personal training and private reformer Pilates are available as add-ons on every membership.

How our memberships work — the small print, made simple
No joining fee on any membership. Other gyms charge $79–99 or more just to sign you up. We don’t. You pay your first week, that’s it.
The 30-day rolling option has no lock-in. Cancel anytime — no exit fees, no negotiation, no awkward conversations. The 6 and 12-month options are commitments to that term, but they’re significantly cheaper per week in return.
Pause your membership. Going overseas, recovering from an injury, or have a stretch of work travel? You can freeze your membership for up to 8 weeks per year at no charge.
Free tour. Not sure? Book a free tour and we’ll show you around. You’re welcome to ask any questions before signing up.
Direct debit only. Memberships are billed weekly to your bank account or card. You can update your payment method anytime.
Cancellation with 30 days notice. Once you’re out of your initial commitment period (or on our 30-day rolling plan from the start), you can cancel anytime by giving us 30 days notice in writing — a simple email is fine. No hoops, no retention calls, no cancellation fee.
How cancellation works
We want cancelling to be as easy as joining — but we do ask for 30 days notice so we can plan around your spot.
30-day rolling membership ($29.95/week): Cancel anytime with 30 days notice in writing. Your final payment covers the notice period.
6-month membership ($24.95/week): Locked in for the 6-month term. After that, your membership rolls over to a 30-day rolling plan — cancel anytime after that with 30 days notice in writing.
12-month membership ($21.95/week): Locked in for the 12-month term. After that, your membership rolls over to a 30-day rolling plan — cancel anytime after that with 30 days notice in writing.
To cancel, just email us. No forms, no phone calls, no awkward “why are you leaving” conversation.
Frequently asked questions about gym memberships in Newstead
How do I cancel my gym membership?
To cancel, simply email us with 30 days notice. Your final direct debit will cover that notice period, then your membership ends. There are no exit fees or hidden charges — just email and you’re done.
Am I locked in to a contract?
Only if you choose to be. Our 30-day rolling membership has no lock-in — cancel anytime with 30 days notice. Our 6-month and 12-month memberships lock in for their term (in exchange for a lower weekly rate), then roll over to a 30-day plan you can cancel anytime with 30 days notice.
How much does a gym membership cost in Newstead?
Memberships at Functional Fitness Gym start at $21.95 per week with no joining fee. Other Newstead gyms range from around $18.90 per week (Club Bunker, Anytime Fitness, often with joining fees added) up to premium tiers above $50 per week at Function Well or TAC. The cheapest sticker price isn’t always the cheapest total cost once joining fees, lock-in penalties and add-on charges are factored in.
Is Functional Fitness Gym actually 24/7?
Yes. The gym is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Members use the gym app to unlock the door, giving access at any time, including late nights, early mornings, weekends, and public holidays.
Do you have any lock-in contracts?
Only the 6-month and 12-month memberships are committed to that term — they’re cheaper per week because of the longer commitment. Our 30-day rolling membership has no lock-in: pay week to week and cancel anytime.
What’s the cheapest gym in Newstead?
Anytime Fitness and Club Bunker advertise the lowest sticker prices in Newstead, around $18-19 per week. After joining fees, activation charges and minimum contract terms, the actual total cost is often comparable to our $21.95/wk (which has no joining fee). We focus on giving you a quieter, less crowded, locally-owned alternative rather than competing on the absolute lowest price.
Can I freeze my membership if I go away?
Yes. Members can pause their membership for up to 8 weeks per year at no charge. Just let us know in writing before you go and we’ll freeze and unfreeze it for you.
Is the gym safe to train at late at night?
Yes. Our 24/7 access uses a secure app-based entry system, with CCTV throughout the gym floor and around the entry. The location at 1/26 Commercial Road, Newstead is well-lit and on a quiet street within the Newstead lifestyle precinct, with parking right at the door.
Can I bring a guest or get a day pass?
Yes — we offer guest passes and day passes. Get in touch via our contact page and we’ll sort it out.
