A new species of gym.

The training floor

Laid out by how you move, not by equipment type.

Personal Training

When you're ready to go further.

Our trainers work with members at every stage — whether you're getting started, addressing technique, building strength, or looking for someone to keep you honest. PT at Tortoise is genuinely personal: no standard programme, no one-size approach.

Hidden gem of a gym in the city. Recently renovated, clean and well equipped. Everything you need, plus saunas and after hours access. Fantastic prices. I haven't seen it too busy, even during peak hours. I think I've visited every gym in the CBD now, but this one is where I've settled.
