Fitness Centres

Fitness centres, also known as health clubs, typically offer the same type of health related services as gyms with some extra features too. You can expect the same sort of weights, weight-lifting machines and equipment, cardio equipment such as exercise bikes, treadmills and steppers and a range of classes too.

You will find the classes range in intensity and purpose between each fitness centre, and some classes will be very high intensity such as boot camps while others will likely cater to different needs. You may find classes in some female fitness centres aimed at pregnant women, fat burner classes for weight loss or dedicated self-defence classes. On top of this, common classes you will find in most health clubs include:

• Yoga
• Pilates
• Aerobics

Apart from typical fitness-related facilities and services, fitness centres may offer a broader scope of facilities for members too. This could include sports facilities, such as access to tennis courts or athletic fields, plus pools, spas and saunas and any range of equipment to suit members. Fitness centres focusing on martial arts may have boxing bags, competition rings, pads and other protective equipment.

The amount and type of facilities available at health clubs are wide and varied. Each club will offer something different, and it's important to choose a fitness centre that meets your needs and is convenient to you.

Fitness Programs

Speak to your local fitness centre before joining about the personalised programs they can offer you. Most fitness centres and health clubs have a range of programs that may fit your requirements, and different centres may even run programs at certain times in the year. Get fit for summer programs may run in winter and spring, or you may find programs to suit local events such as running races, marathons and other community sporting events.
