Why New Farm Locals Choose Us

Locally owned, not a franchise

New Farm has a couple of 24/7 franchise gyms, and they suit plenty of people. We’re different: an independent gym run by its owners, Troy and Tina, who are here most weekdays. When you have a question, you talk to the people who run the place.

Quiet by design

We keep membership numbers deliberately low, so the gym never feels packed. Walk in at 6am or after work and get straight on the equipment you came for.

A short drive with easy parking

For most of New Farm, we’re a few minutes by car or bike. There’s parking right at the door, so getting in and out is quick, whatever time you train.

Proper equipment, open 24/7

Members get in with our app, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Inside: commercial-grade cardio, free weights, racks, cable machines, dumbbells from 1 to 40 kg, kettlebells and sleds. See the full list on our equipment page.

Private Reformer Pilates for New Farm

Most Pilates in the area is taught in group classes. Ours is always private: one-on-one with Tina in our own studio, 30 minutes, $80, no Pilates membership needed. She adjusts every session to how your body feels that day, which makes it a good fit for beginners and anyone working around a sore back or old injury.

One-on-One Personal Training

Owner Troy Morris was named Brisbane’s Best Personal Trainer by the Courier Mail. He runs one-on-one personal training at the gym, built around your goals, whether that’s strength, fat loss or getting back into exercise. See real member results.
