Frequently Asked Questions

1. How to join the Strength & Fitness Gym
The Strength & Fitness Gym prides itself on upholding industry-leading safety standards. To maximise the safety of all clients, all users must complete an Authorisation Class before using any exercise equipment.

Authorisation involves signing up and paying for an individual or group orientation and/or instruction in the use of the facilities (Exercise Program or Familiarisation) depending on the individualís previous gym experience to ensure users meet set competency standards. 12-month Fitness Memberships include the cost of Authorisation. However, membership cards will only be issued after completion of the mandatory Authorisation. Those considering shorter term memberships must complete authorisation before purchasing a membership.

Bring your staff or student card to the Beaurepaire Centre Reception and sign yourself up for either an individual Exercise Program or a Familiarisation Class. We will then be more than happy to advise you on your optimal Membership Option.

No towel - No workout
In the interest of hygiene, a ll Patrons MUST bring their own workout towel to the gym and cardio zones and must wipe down equipment after use. Your cooperation will ensure the Strength & Fitness Gym remains a clean and healthy training facility.

Staff & Services
Fully-qualified, experienced instructors are on hand and offer fitness testing, exercise prescription, body composition and nutritional analysis. So whether you're an athlete in training or someone trying to improve their health and fitness, the Strength & Fitness Gym has everything you need.

For more details, see a gym instructor or email the <mailto:konk@unimelb.edu.au>Fitness Centre Manager.

2. How to hire a court
Bookings for tennis, squash, badminton, volleyball, and basketball courts must be made and paid for in advance at the Sports Centre Reception.
All bookings must be paid for in person at least 24 hours prior to the time the event is scheduled to take place.

Phone bookings CANNOT be made on the day of the booking. However, you can phone to check court availability (no holds) and you can book courts up to 2 weeks in-advance.

In the interest of fairness to all users, failure to pay for a booking 24 hours in advance might result in your booking being given to others.
