First Timers

What people worry about

Almost everyone who walks in feels exactly like this.

  • “Everyone will be fitter than me.”

    They won’t all be, and it doesn’t matter if some are. Your first session is one-on-one.

  • “I’ll do something wrong and look stupid.”

    You’re not meant to know the lifts yet. That’s my job. We teach each one from scratch, at a weight that suits you today.

  • “It’s full of meatheads.”

    It isn’t. Members here are nurses, tradies, parents and retirees. Most of them started nervous too.

  • “I won’t be able to keep up.”

    There’s nothing to keep up with. The weights, the pace, the reps are all set to what you can do today, then nudged on from there.

Start with a free strategy session

It’s just you and a personal trainer. You don’t need to know anything beforehand. You’ll see what training here is like and get a straight answer on whether it’s right for you.

In the hour:

  • Gym tour. See the space, the equipment and how the floor runs.
  • Goal setting. Tell us what you want from training and we’ll work out what that realistically takes.
  • Screen your movement. We watch you move so we know where to start.
  • Guided warm-up. You’ll get a feel for how we coach.
  • Q&A. Ask about pricing, scheduling, injuries, or whether this is even right for you.

Questions

I haven’t trained in years. Is this for me?
Especially then. We start by watching how you move and keep the loads sensible. It doesn’t matter what you could do ten years ago.
I’m unfit, or too old to start.
Neither stops you. Most people start because they’re not where they want to be, and strength training matters more as you age. Every session is scaled to your body.
Will people judge me?
No one is watching you, and your first session is one-on-one with a personal trainer away from any crowd. Book a free strategy session and see for yourself.
