Absolutely not and this is the question I get most often. We don't have a fitness requirement. Women have joined us having not exercised in 10+ years. Every exercise is adjusted to your current level so you're never left behind or pushed beyond what's right for you.
Every session is different, we run a mix of strength or cardio sessions so no two days are the same. (Tuesday 5am and 6am are our only dedicated cardio sessions)
Classes run for around 45-60 minutes. Your coach introduces the workout, walks you through each exercise, and adjusts anything that doesn't suit your body. Afterwards most of us hang around and chat, and a few of us grab a coffee at the local café.
We run sessions Monday to Friday at 5am, 6am,8am, 9am, 4:30pm and 5:30pm. Available times will show on our calendar when you send through your contact details to book your free week.
Every single woman in our studio felt exactly the same way before her first session. Some of them sat in the car park for ten minutes before coming in. What they found on the other side was a group of women their own age, at their own level, who were completely welcoming. Zero judgement is not a marketing line it's how we operate.
Our membership is no lock in contract, no sign up fee. For up to 3 x weekly sessions is $43/week direct debit. Or unlimited weekly sessions for just $50/week direct debit.
Yes, this is actually our specialty. Our programming is designed around the hormonal changes that happen in perimenopause and post-menopause. We focus on resistance training and strength work, which research consistently shows to be the most effective form of exercise for women at this stage of life, for energy, sleep, bone density, mood, and metabolism.
We're located at 108 Helensvale Rd, Helensvale.

Helensvale Fitness Studio has been coaching women in the Gold Coast area for over 10 years. We're not a commercial gym.
We're a small, private studio built specifically for women over 40 -- the stage of life where most gyms stop serving you well.
Every program we run is designed around the hormonal and physiological changes that happen after 40.
We focus on building real strength, improving energy and sleep, and creating a community where women genuinely look forward to showing up.
Our members don't come back because they feel motivated. They come back because of each other.
