Monday Club Balmain

A new concept in living well.

Born in Balmain, Monday Club is your village club, a place to build physical strength, build your social engagement, and feel good into later life.

Come and have a look around Monday Club 👋

Chris and Jill created Monday Club because they wanted a place where getting older could be about feeling good, staying strong and enjoying yourself along the way.

You can do your strength training on our AO80 circuit, join one of our fitness classes, have a dance, grab a coffee or simply stop for a chat.

It’s fitness, fun and social all in one place. And hopefully, a bit of a happy place too. 😊

Watch the video but even better, come and see it for yourself.

It’s not too late to build strength.

Sometimes getting older happens quietly.

The stairs feel a little harder.
The shopping feels a little heavier.
You think twice about getting down on the floor.
You start saying “I’ll leave that to someone else.”

They might seem like small things. But they’re often the things that help us feel like ourselves.

That’s why we created Momentum 9 strength program. Nine weeks of personalised support to help you work on your strength, at your pace, with someone alongside you.

No pressure. No keeping up with anyone else. Just a program built around you and where you’re starting from.

Because staying strong helps you keep doing the things you want to do, for longer.

Ready to start?

Join Momentum 9 and we’ll refund your $200 assessment fee when you commence the program.

It’s our way of helping you take that first step towards feeling stronger.

☕ Very good news. Coffee is very good for you.

We’ve been reading Dr Michael Mosley’s Just One Thing, and one recommendation certainly caught our attention:

Drink coffee every day.

It sounded almost too good to be true, so we did a little digging.

And there’s some very encouraging research around moderate coffee drinking and heart health, stroke, Type 2 diabetes, cognitive decline and even some cancers.

But there are a few things worth knowing including how much coffee we’re talking about and why the way you make it might matter.

Coffee drinker? We think you’ll enjoy this one. ☕

Can exercise defend against dementia? 🧠

📅 Tuesday 1 September 2026
⏰ 11:30am – 12:30pm
📍 Monday Club Lounge Area, 369a Darling Street, Balmain

YOUR BODY MIGHT JUST SURPRISE YOU 💛

Before you jump into strength training at Monday Club, we like to get to know you first.

Not just your age. Not just the number on the scales. You.

Your Wellness Assessment is a relaxed one-on-one with one of our Exercise Physiologists, using our Technogym technology to get a better picture of where you’re starting from.

We will look at things like:

💪 Muscle & strength – where you are today and what we can work on together

⚖️ Body composition – because there’s much more to your body than weight alone

🚶 Movement & function – how you move and manage the things you do every day

📊 Your Wellness Age – another way to understand where you are now and see how things change over time

And don’t worry, there’s nothing to pass!

It simply gives us a starting point. From there, we can shape your strength program around you so you can get started feeling comfortable, confident and supported.

Then, as you train, we can come back to those starting numbers and see what’s changing.

You might be surprised by what your body can do.

Know where you are. See where you can go. 💛

Last Friday, 21 of our Monday Club members came together for our very first casual lunch at the Balmain, celebrating , and what an afternoon it was!

What started as lunch quickly turned into plenty of laughs, lively conversation and new connections, exactly what Monday Club is all about.

A big thank you to everyone who joined us, and to Maureen and the wonderful Royal Oak team for making us feel so welcome.

Connection doesn’t happen by accident. 💛

This week, 3–9 August, is Loneliness Awareness Week - a reminder of just how important meaningful connection can be.

Loneliness can affect any of us, at any stage of life. And helping someone feel more connected doesn’t have to involve a grand gesture.

Sometimes it starts with something beautifully simple.

😊 A warm hello.
☕ An invitation to share a cuppa.
📞 A phone call to someone you have been thinking about.
👂 Taking the time to really listen.
💛 Letting someone know they have been thought of.

For many older Australians, these small moments of connection can make a real difference to the day.

At Monday Club Social Club, we believe everyone should have a place where they feel welcome, known and part of their local community.

Our Social Lounge is a place to drop in, meet people, share a conversation, join an activity or simply enjoy a cuppa in good company.

Because sometimes the smallest moments can mean the most.

Who could you make a little room for this week?

Your doctor tells you to do strength training... and for good reason. 💪

Strength training is one of the best ways to stay strong, independent, and active as we age. In fact, it can help give you an extra 10–20 years of healthy ageing.

At Monday Club, our AO80 Safe Strength Circuit is designed to help you build strength in a safe, supportive, and enjoyable environment.

It's never too late to start investing in your health. Come along and see how strong you can become!
