Fernwood Fitness

Fernwood Fitness is a women’s-only gym in Darwin, designed for women at different ages, fitness levels and stages of their training. The club supports a broad mix of goals, from building strength and improving muscle tone to weight management, stress reduction and simply finding a consistent exercise routine. Its women-only setting and friendly female staff may suit members who prefer a more comfortable, supportive environment when they train, whether they are new to gyms or already confident with exercise.

Members have access to the gym floor, cardio and strength equipment, free weights and unlimited group fitness classes. The class program covers cardio, strength training, FIIT30, yoga and Pilates, with instructors leading sessions for different fitness levels. Reformer Pilates is also available through a dedicated Fusion Pilates studio, with sessions for beginners and intermediate members. Personal Training, nutrition programs and virtual classes provide additional ways to structure a fitness plan, while the Fernwood app can be used to view the timetable, book sessions and manage classes.

The club is open to members 24/7, with staff available at set times for tours, support and enquiries. Facilities include luxury change rooms, showers, toilets, lockers and practical amenities such as hair dryers and hair straighteners. There is also a members’ lounge, breakfast before or after training, free toiletries and free parking. Members looking to add recovery or wellbeing options to their routine can access amenities and programs listed by the club including an infrared sauna, HYPOXI Wellness and Mums & Bubs. Childcare facilities are available, which may make the gym more workable for parents.

Fernwood Fitness can suit solo members who want independent gym access, as well as those who prefer structured classes, one-to-one guidance or a more social training routine. New members can enquire about trial passes, and a parent or guardian must join with anyone under 18. Membership options vary by plan and club, so Darwin visitors will need to contact the gym for current details. The club is also part of the wider Fernwood network, with the Freedom Pass allowing eligible members to visit other Fernwood locations.
