Our fully equipped modern gym has a range of the latest cardio, functional and resistance equipment for use. The large gym area has a variety of cardio machines, a range of weight machines, functional training area, free weight area and a stretching zone. And once you’ve done all that exercise, we also have a recovery zone with massage guns, recovery boots and massage chairs. It has equipment to cater for all fitness levels, with enough machines to keep you working, not waiting.

Group fitness studios

We offer an extensive range of group fitness classes across our three dedicated studios—including Reformer Pilates—alongside our health club, aquatic facilities, and outdoor spaces. Our diverse timetable is designed to cater to all ages, fitness levels, and interests, featuring everything from high-intensity Boxing, Pump, and Aqua to restorative Yoga and Pilates.
The floors are spring-loaded and the rooms receive a lot of natural light. Whatever your goals, you'll find a class that motivates, challenges, and supports your journey

Participate in our innovative Learn to Swim program (from 6months to adults) or take a refreshing dip in one of our heated indoor pools. Our 25m pool now boast 8 lanes and a ramp to cater for more of our community including those with mobility issues. We even have an outdoor splash area for kids!
We also have the ability to completely block out the pool hall with privacy curtains for culturally-safe swimming.

Each court is equipped with roof-mounted and retractable FIBA-certified basketball systems, wireless scoring technology, low mass Competition Posts for Netball, Futsal, and Badminton for ease of handling, along with roof-mounted, retractable divider curtain systems, providing a professional playing experience that meets international standards. The stadium also includes integrated spectator seating to foster community engagement. Court 1 also features a privacy curtain to provide a culturally-safe court for training and competition.
