Next Gen Canberra

Next Gen Canberra is a members-only health and lifestyle club in Lyneham, a short drive from Canberra CBD. It is designed as a broad wellness destination rather than a gym alone, bringing exercise, swimming, racquet sports, recovery facilities, family services and social spaces together under one roof. The club includes a state-of-the-art gym, more than 100 group fitness classes each week, personal training and dedicated cardio, resistance and functional training areas. Gym instructors are available to provide supervision, while the Next Step Program offers new members structured support through a personal training consultation, body composition scan and small-group workshops.

There is plenty of variety for members who prefer not to follow a standard gym routine. Classes run during the day and evening and include yoga, Pilates, HIIT, strength and conditioning, dance, cycling and aqua aerobics. The swim and spa area has a 25-metre heated indoor pool, a seasonal 25-metre outdoor pool, a spa, traditional sauna and steam room. For racquet sports, the club offers 32 competition-grade tennis courts across different playing surfaces and six glass-backed squash courts, along with coaching, social play and match play opportunities.

The facilities are spacious and resort-inspired, with large open gym areas, high ceilings and natural light. Beyond training, members can use the outdoor pool area, Member’s Lounge, work spaces, free Wi-Fi and licensed café, which serves breakfast, lunch and dinner according to the club’s website. The emphasis is on creating a local community, with social events and areas intended for members to relax, work or spend time between activities. The team also supports swimming lessons, tennis coaching and ongoing personal training, giving the club a more structured and service-led feel than a basic fitness centre.

Families are catered for through a staffed crèche for children aged three months to five years, childminding services, learn-to-swim lessons, holiday and after-school programs, and kids’ group fitness classes. At the same time, the range of equipment, classes and recovery facilities makes it suitable for solo members at different stages of their fitness journey. With individual and family memberships available, Next Gen Canberra suits people looking for a comprehensive club where gym training, classes, swimming, racquet sports and downtime can all be part of the same visit.
