Tailored programs provide a source of strength
Our purpose-built gym at the hub is unique — it’s designed to be a safe, welcoming space where clients can rebuild strength, confidence and connection at their own pace. There are no pretenders!
Here, exercise isn’t about competition or appearance — it’s about feeling good, regaining control, and moving in a way that supports recovery and wellbeing. You’ll notice we’ve kept mirrors to a minimum, creating an environment where everyone can simply focus on how they feel rather than how they look. It’s a place where dignity, comfort and encouragement is prioritised.
All clients in our gym complete their own personalised exercise program, designed by our Accredited Exercise Physiologist during an initial assessment. Each program is tailored to individual needs, treatment stage and goals.
Sessions are kept small — with no more than eight people per class — ensuring everyone receives the right level of professional guidance and support. You’ll always have an accredited professional on hand to help with your exercises, monitor your progress, and make adjustments as needed.
The Clinical Oncology Society of Australia (COSA) reinforces the importance of exercise, stating:
“Clinical research has established exercise as a safe and effective intervention to counteract many of the adverse physical and psychological effects of cancer and its treatment.”
Beyond the exercise, our gym is a community space. You’ll often hear laughter and conversation as people encourage one another and share their journeys. It’s an uplifting environment where movement, connection and care come together to support your wellbeing.
