Frequently asked questions.

Personalised Training on Demand means you’ll always have access to a qualified Personal Trainer during every visit. Whether you’re working on weight loss, building strength, or improving mobility, our trainers are here to provide expert guidance, so you can train with confidence and flexibility.

If you have experience in exercising safely, with the right form, know what you are trying to achieve and have the self-motivation to do it consistently, you may not need our support.

However, if you are not sure how to exercise safely, what exercises to do, you need assistance in getting clarity on what you want to achieve or you feel you will not maintain motivation consistently, then you are the perfect fit to join the Better Shape Fitness team.

Still not sure? Why not come in for a trial and find out if we are right for you?

Yes, we cater for all levels of fitness. Not everyone wants to be or needs to be an athlete, your gym experience should be about you and what you want to get out of it.

Yes, our trainers are skilled in working with injuries, injury rehabilitation and post op rehabilitation. We collaborate closely with client’s Doctors, Physiotherapists, Chiropractors etc and encourage you to speak to your medical professional for guidance on what movements you should be avoiding during your workouts. We will then take note of any restrictions and advise you accordingly at each workout.

We are a mature age gym which means the majority of our members are between the ages of 35 and 70. That being said, we have members as young as 16 (if you are under 18 you must have an adult complete your membership) and members at a very happy 80+ years old.

If you are unsure, please call and we will be happy to organise a free trial so that you can decide if the gym is a good fit for you.

It is completely normal to be nervous and we encourage you to let us know how you are feeling. Some of our clients had never been to gym before in their lives and other have been very self-conscious to start with. There is no obligation to join and we will always work at your pace.

  • A towel to use while you are working out.
  • A bottle of water to stay hydrated.
  • Comfortable clothing to work out in.
  • Closed in comfortable shoes.
  • Optional: A towel for a shower, change of clothes, deodorant.
  • If you are unsure, please call us and we will be happy to help you prepare for your workout.

Both techniques have their place in your workout routine. The main difference being that a machine works to target a single muscle group in a one dimensional plain as the machine is guiding you through the movement. Free weights on the other hand work in a three dimensional plain and require more smaller muscle groups to maintain control of each movement.

Customer PersonCoralie
“Joined Better Shape Fitness about 4 years ago. I absolutely love the structure of having such a varied workout every day all overseen by our fantastic trainer Kylie. It never gets boring. It’s hard work but it’s also a very quick workout. Unlike my experience with other gyms, which I have had to reluctantly drag myself to, I look forward to my workout with Kylie. I highly recommend doing a trial with Kylie. You will definitely want to continue”
