Cardio Fitness

We have a fantastic range of cardio equipment including treadmills, cross trainers, fluid rowing machines and bikes, providing for a smooth comfortable cardio workout.

Express Circuit

Our express circuit is ideal for those "pressed" for time or beginners. The nature of the circuit means no waiting; you just do your set and move to the next machine. So if you have to squeeze in that lunchtime exercise, you can walk into the gym confident that you will walk out having completed a full body workout.

Advanced Circuit and Free Weights

As a natural progression our advanced circuit and free weights provide progressive resistance exercise to increase strength levels and improve functional balance. The staff are well qualified to take you to this next level of strength training appropriate for people with a wide range of fitness levels and health issues.

Fitness Centre Staff

The Fitness Centre is staffed by fitness professionals who, with their diverse knowledge and skills in exercise and health, can advise and guide you through a personally tailored program to suit your specific training needs. Please don't hesitate to talk to any one of our staff about your fitness requirements and the type of membership that would suit you best.

Special Needs

The Fitness Centre offers 1 on 1 assistance for people who have special needs in conjunction with Curtin Volunteers. This very valuable program has been running since 1982, assisting people with special needs to maintain a healthy lifestyle or sports specific strength training.

Volunteers are Curtin students who have registered with us to assist 2-3 times per week. Our staff match clients with a volunteer from the information supplied. The program involves the volunteer assisting the client in the gym with an exercise program that the staff have designed and demonstrated. The volunteer and client schedule suitable training dates and times to come in so the volunteer can assist each time.
