2022. The year to get healthy. Okay, so we’re a little behind the eight ball, what with it being March and all, but we’ve got just the thing to kickstart our butts into some serious wellness goals.
A FREE TRIAL at one of the best women’s only gyms in Australia – Fernwood Fitness – how’s that for a little incentive? And they aren’t your typical run-of-the-mill fitness centres. Oh, no. This is a whole new ball game!
After all, more than 70,000 women across Australia choose Fernwood Fitness as their go-to women’s only gym and fitness club. And, of course, we know there are countless others who, like me, would love to join a gym, but just haven’t done it yet.
So ladies, here’s your chance!
Fernwood Fitness is currently offering a free seven-day trial to all women across all of their 70 clubs.
Check out their creche, group classes, amazing facilities, even their free brekky and members’ room, and carve out a time in your schedule to make Fernwood part of your weekly routine.
Fernwood. For Women.
Now, you’ve probably been to a fitness club before. Perhaps pre-kids when you would rock up in the morning after a massive night and feel perfectly okay to row 5km on the rowing machine before doing a spin class. Probably down a protein shake and then smash out 200 situps. No biggie.
Well, lovelies, if you’re like me, odds are, those days may be behind you now. For some of us, well behind us. In fact, most likely the last thing I want to do is row. Unless it’s rowing my kids out the door or me into some quality time to myself!
Fast forward a few years (and a few kids)and it’s time to enter a new era of health and wellness, one paved with support, expert trainers, FREE brekky and coffee. And one that is just for women. Row on over this way!
A little bit about Fernwood Fitness
Fernwood Fitness has been around since the 80s and is owned by proud mother and weightlifting champion Diana Williams.
Their motto is all about empowering and supporting women to shine and providing women with everything they need for complete health, fitness, and wellness.
The whole vibe is refreshing, relaxed, and comfortable, even if you’re sweating through your shorts and possibly peed a little bit during that last starjump or burpee.
Get it all
ALL the support, ALL the expert advice, ALL the tools you need to find the fun in fitness.
✅ Nutritional support. We’re talking nutrition coaching as well as world-first wellness programs.
✅ Childcare support. Most of their clubs have a built-in creche so you can leave the littlies in supervised care while you enjoy your workout.
✅ Motivational support. Their group fitness programs are great for staying on track (strength in numbers) but they’ve also got Personal Trainers on hand to give you a bit of a nudge, plus cardio machines fitted with TVs and music to keep boredom at bay.
✅ And, of course, an abundance of fitness equipment and programs to suit every woman!
- Strength and weight training, including a free weights area
- State-of-the-art cardio equipment
- Gym floor for freestyle circuits. Think planks, burpees and crunches – all the fun stuff!
- Group fitness classes, including Fernwood-exclusive FIIT30 sessions + FIITRIGHT sessions (available at most clubs).Tai Chi, Zumba, yoga and Pilates
- World-first wellness programs, including Empower. Designed exclusively for women, this is a 6-week program combining everything you need to find calm, take control, and create the life you’re always daydreaming about.
- Meditation and mindfulness programs
- Reformer Pilates – a low-impact, full-body workout, designed to strengthen and tone the entire body while improving core strength and posture, ideal for post-baby! And wait until we see the state-of-the-art reformer pilates beds! So cool!
For those days when you’re a bit too exhausted to get changed and get in the car, Fernwood also offers virtual workouts so you can still exercise in the comfort of your pjs at home.
Get your fitness in, any time you can
Okay, that all sounds great, right? But we still haven’t solved the whole “finding time” thing. Don’t worry, Fernwood Fitness has that all figured out.
Reclaim your mornings
Head to Fernwood before work, get your FIT30 class session done and dusted, and then hit the showers.
Fernwood Fitness prides itself in sparkling clean change rooms and amenities that go above and beyond. They’ve got hair products, hair dyers, even hair straighteners so you can leave the gym ready for work or whatever the day has in store.
Free brekky for all women
They’ve even got breakfast sorted. Every Fernwood Fitness club offers free breakfast and coffee in their beautiful members’ lounge. Have a cuppa, check your emails, get in your daily Wordle (before someone shares the answer on Facebook), and still get to work on time.
Daily childcare
Not a morning person? No worries – Fernwood Fitness provides group fitness classes throughout the day as well as creche operating in most clubs at the same time as their classes, roughly around 9am to 12pm daily. You can bring the kids during the day and still get your workout in.
Evening workout warrior
Most Fernwood Fitness gyms are open 24/7 so if you’d prefer to exercise in the evening after you’ve dealt with the chaos of the day, you can. Your secure member FOB ensures you can safely enter and exit the club whenever you like, and the clubs are fitted with first aid equipment should you need it.
If you’ve got older kids who happen to do a slew of after-school activities, evening workouts are also a smart move. Drop them at their soccer practice/swimming lesson or <insert activity here>, book it to your nearest Fernwood Fitness and squeeze in a workout. It beats sitting on the sidelines waiting for them.
We know it’s not always easy to find time for fitness but at Fernwood Fitness, you’ve got a world of support to help you get there.
A safe, supportive, women’s only gym network
This is one of the things that especially stands out about Fernwood – they understand that gyms can be a scary place for some of us and that they are there to support every single member.
Many women are riddled with anxiety about pushing out of their comfort zone and pushing their bodies, especially in front of others.
One woman who felt this way was Shayna, from Toowoomba. As she shares with Mum Central,
Joining a gym was very very scary but I wanted this enough to try. I was afraid people would look at me. I was afraid that I would walk in somewhere where I didn’t belong. I was afraid that I would embarrass myself. I was scared of everything.”
Fast forward 15 months and Shayna is physically fitter than she has ever been and has a whole new outlook on life.
When I first walked in, I wanted to lose weight. But, it’s been so much more than that. I can do things now that I never thought I would be able to do. I’m not embarrassed, I don’t feel like everyone is looking at me. I’ve set myself up to really change my story.”
Another Fernwood Fitness warrior, Katrina, echoes this notion about why she chose to become part of the Fernwood Fitness family:
My self-esteem was getting pretty low, even though I was good at hiding it, and I was so tired and achy all the time. I was approaching mid-40s and I didn’t want to get older being unfit, unhealthy and unhappy. I have two teenage boys who I wanted to keep up with.
But most importantly, I wanted to feel good in my own skin. I just knew it was time and I was in the right headspace to make it happen.”
It’s a safe, beautiful community – an escape from the daily grind but also a place that somehow, feels like home.
Thousands of women have discovered what a women’s only gym can do for them. Now it’s YOUR turn.
