Nervous about Joining?

Welcome to ARC Fitness Studio
Your New Space to Thrive!

We get it – stepping into a new gym or fitness space can feel overwhelming. You’re not alone if you’ve had questions or worries like:


  • “Will I look like an idiot?”
  • “What do I bring?”
  • “Will I be able to keep up?”
  • “Where do I go when I get there?”


At ARC, we’ve heard these concerns before, and we’re here to tell you: every single person in this studio has been in your shoes. Those butterflies in your stomach? Totally normal. The best part? You’re already braver than you think just by showing up.


Here’s what you can expect:


  1. Judgment-Free Zone: Everyone here is focused on their own journey. You’ll quickly learn that no one is watching you—they’re busy cheering themselves (and you) on.
  2. Guidance from the Start: When you arrive, one of our friendly team members will walk you through everything— where to put your belongings, and how to get started. No guesswork, no stress. You will have the option to work alongside one of our friendly regular members. You will not be left on your own.
  3. Your Pace, Your Progress: Whether it’s your first squat or your hundredth, ARC is about progress, not perfection. Can’t do all the reps yet? Totally fine. Need to scale a movement? We offer a range of regressions and progressions to ensure you are getting the most of every workout. Injured? With plenty of move modifications and adaptations on offer, please trust us when we say, we’ve got you covered.
  4. Community Without Pressure: You don’t need a friend to train with or worry about being “the slow one” in a group. Our coaches and members are here to encourage,not compete.

    And yes, footwear and clothing are essential —good shoes and something you’re comfortable wearing will set you up for a great session.

  • How do creche bookings work?

    For Parents booking a session that need to use creche:


    1. Book your creche spot first (one booking per family)
    2. Then, book into your session

    Here’s how it works:


    • Children aged 3 years and under are required to book into creche during supervised hours.
    • Weekday Morning Classes: creche opens at 8:30 AM for the 8:45 AM class, giving you plenty of time to settle your little ones before the warm-up begins. We have 2 fully qualified child care minders ready to welcome you and your little ones to your session.
    • Saturday Classes: Creche is open from 6:50 AM to 7:00 AM, accommodating the 7:00 AM and 8:00 AM classes. This allows parents time to settle their children before class starts.

    Outside of supervised hours, the creche room is available for use, but parents are fully

    responsible for supervising their children during this time.


    We’re here to help you get the most out of your workout, with peace of mind knowing your little ones are cared for!

We believe fitness is for everyone, and our space is designed to help you feel empowered, supported, and ready to achieve your goals.


Still nervous? That’s okay! Feel free to reach out with any questions before your first visit. We’re here to help make ARC a place where you feel content and capable from day one. You’re stronger than you know. Let’s take this first step together!


See you soon,
