Better With Sarah

Testing Week...

We always get super excited for testing week; an opportunity to add a few more kilos to the bar, feel more confident with certain movements, or go after a big PB.

Our Group Strength program is developed in house by our very own Louise - currently completing her degree in Exercise Physiology while she conducts our Barbell and Strength sessions.

What we love about Louise's work is that she considers what our community needs in terms of movement and offers a program that is intelligent and specific, as well as ticking all the big fun lift boxes.

We're excited to roll out Louise's new Strength block next week, but, for now, let's put some weight on those bars!

Progress isn't linear 📈

Sometimes we have to learn this lesson a few times, and it never gets any easier.

Whatever the barrier, whether its life things, injury, or you're just not vibing your training, we're here to help work through these barriers, together.

We're not just here for the good days, we're here for all of it. Keep going. 💛

Is this YOU?

You may have lived an entire life before now, but you’re new to the fitness industry and are looking for a studio and community to make your home. You may be studying, or work part time, and would love the opportunity to build a client base and work with a pretty epic team and community.

We would love to mentor you from the start, show you the ropes, and help you find your way in an industry that can be pretty unforgiving.

We have a steady membership base and no shortage of enquiries and we'd love a new trainer who shares our values to help grow our community.

There's so much more we could say, BUT we'd rather hear from you, so, if working with us sounds like a vibe, get in touch with at [email protected]

Not knowing is allowed here.

You don’t need a program memorised.
You don’t need to “already be fit.”
You don’t need to fake confidence.

You ask questions.
We explain things.
We go at your pace.

Everyone starts somewhere.
Most people just forget to say that out loud.

Would you like a space where it’s okay to learn?

Strength is individual. Community isn’t.

We train together. We host game nights. We make space for conversations that matter. People find their people here.

And if you stop training? You’re still welcome in the community. This isn’t conditional belonging.

Because feeling connected shouldn’t expire when your membership does.

Strong minds. Strong hearts. Strong community.

Always.

If you’ve ever “failed” a 12-week challenge, you didn’t fail. The timeline did.

Bodies aren’t projects.
And health isn’t a countdown clock.

We don’t do before-and-afters.
We don’t do crash programs.
We don’t do shame as motivation.

We do long-term.
We do sustainable.
We do Blossom Not Burnout.

What would progress look like without a deadline?

You do not need a training history to start.

A lot of our members walked in never having touched a dumbbell. Some are 55. Some are 25. Some thought gyms “weren’t for them.”

Start whenever.

Progress here isn’t about catching up. It’s about showing up — in a way that feels safe, sustainable, and yours.

Stronger not smaller.
Braver not perfect.

There’s no entry exam.

Ever walked into a gym and felt like you were interrupting something?

Not here.

We’re genuinely stoked you’re in the room. Not “customer service stoked.” Actual stoked. We care about your back. Your knee. Your job interview. Your hard week. Your win.

We don’t do surface-level small talk.
We care about the stuff that actually matters to you.

You’re not a timeslot.
You’re a person.

And we’re glad you’re here.

For so many of us, movement started from a place of trying to shrink ourselves, fix ourselves, or prove something.

But there’s something really powerful about learning to move because it feels good to be alive in your body.

Joy is allowed to exist here too 💛

Cliques are exhausting.

So is walking into a room and wondering if you belong.

This isn’t high school.
And it’s not a popularity contest.

We notice the quiet ones.
We celebrate the nervous ones.
We check in with the ones who disappear for a bit.

Kindness over tough love. Always.

You can sit with us.
