Fernwood Fitness

Fernwood Fitness Belconnen is a women-only gym at Westfield Belconnen on Benjamin Way, offering a dedicated environment for women across a range of ages and fitness levels. The club combines a full gym floor with cardio, free-weight and strength equipment, plus a programme of group classes covering cardio, strength training, FIIT30, yoga and Pilates. Members can also arrange personal training or seek nutrition advice, making it suitable for people who prefer structured support as well as those who like to train independently.

One of the club’s more distinctive features is its Reformer Pilates offering. Sessions are held in a dedicated Fusion Pilates studio with reformer beds and are designed for beginner and intermediate members, with a focus on controlled, low-impact movement. Fernwood Belconnen also has a dedicated HYPOXI studio and offers the HYPOXI training programme, alongside services and facilities intended to support broader health and wellbeing. The class timetable can be viewed online or managed through the Fernwood app.

The club is set up as more than a basic workout space, with luxury change rooms, showers, toilets, secure lockers and complimentary toiletries. Hair dryers and hair straighteners are also listed among the amenities, while a members’ lounge and complimentary breakfast provide places to pause before or after training. Other listed features include free parking, childcare, a barre offering, an infrared sauna, virtual classes and Mums & Bubs options. These facilities may suit members fitting exercise around family responsibilities, as well as people looking for a more supported club experience.

Fernwood Belconnen is open to members 24/7, with staff available Monday to Thursday from 9am to 7pm, Friday from 9am to 1pm and Saturday from 9am to noon; Sundays are unstaffed. Staffed periods are intended for tours, support, enquiries and personal training bookings, and first-time visitors are asked to attend during those times for onboarding. Trial passes are available, and memberships can include access to other Fernwood clubs through the Freedom Pass. The club’s women-only setting, varied classes and on-site support make it a practical option for solo training, guided sessions or meeting fitness goals alongside other members.
