The cause

One day. Two studios. A whole lot of good.

100% of raffle sales go to Children's Medical Research Institute - the team behind Jeans for Genes - supporting research into genetic diseases and birth defects that affect 1 in 20 Aussie kids. Your class is free; the donation tin isn't going to fill itself. Buy raffle tickets on the day, wear your best blue and help us turn a normal day of movement into money for kids who need it.

Never tried STRONG?
This is your invitation.

The machines might look a little intimidating.

We promise they're much friendlier once you're on them.

You don't need to know what you're doing.

That's our job. Your trainer will set you up and guide you through every move.

You don't need to be "fit enough".

Every movement can be modified to meet you exactly where you're at.

You don't need to come with anyone.

Come alone. Bring a friend. Bring your partner. Bring your mum.

Your first class is free on Charity Open Day. All we ask is you donate what you can.

What is STRONG?

Pilates. Strength. Cardio.
One 45-minute workout.

Pilates-inspired workouts

45 minutes of pilates-inspired strength training with a side of rowing or riding on our signature Rowformer and Ride machines.

High intensity, low impact

Hard on effort. Easy on the joints.

Any fitness level

Highly qualified STRONG trainers can modify the class for any injuries or restrictions.

Don't just take our word for it

Questions

How much does it cost?

Nothing - every class on Saturday 15 August is free, for members and non-members alike. Instead of paying for your session, we're asking you to donate by buying raffle tickets on the day. 100% of sales go to Children's Medical Research Institute.

Do I need to book?

Yes - bookings are essential and free classes book out fast. Use the booking section on this page or the STRONG app to lock in your spot.

I've never done STRONG before. Can I come?

Please do - that's the whole point of opening the doors. The machines look more intimidating than they are, our trainers will look after you, and every movement can be modified to meet you where you're at.

What should I wear and bring?

Something blue! Plus a water bottle, something comfortable to move in, and grip socks - available at the studio if you don't have a pair.

How does the raffle work?

Buy as many tickets as you like at the studio on the day - cash or card. Prizes have been donated by some very generous local businesses, and 100% of ticket sales go to Children's Medical Research Institute.

Is this on at Warners Bay too?

Yes - both STRONG Broadmeadow and STRONG Warners Bay are running Charity Open Day on Saturday 15 August. Book at whichever studio suits you, or rally a crew for each.
