The Self Care Sisterhood was started as a female-only fitness studio as an alternative to intimidating, male-dominated gyms. Although we are still the 'Sisterhood', we want to emphasise that we are for anyone who identifies as she/her or they/them. A bunch of our members are part of the LGBTQIA+ community (including our founder and head PT, Chloe!) and we are a safe space for transgender and non-binary people.

We're registered with ACON's ' Welcome Here Project' as well as TransFriendly

We are for anyone who identifies as she/her or they/them

You are perfect just as you are! We provide boutique sized small group personal training to ensure all bodies are loved & looked after! We also provide options for ALL movements; including straps, blocks & chairs for support.

Our members range in age from teens through to 60s, and we don't believe anyone is 'too' anything to move for their mind!

Please keep in mind that all of our classes will require you to get up off the ground unassisted. If you have a disability, you are welcome to bring along your carer to our classes, to ensure you can enjoy and participate fully!

If you are particularly nervous - book yourself in for a 1-on-1 session with one of our PTs & we can help you strengthen your movement skills so you feel confident to slip into class.

→ Wear something stretchy and comfortable. Something that will help you move without having to keep pulling it down or up mid class.

→ Please wear joggers to Boogie Aerobics - all other classes can be barefoot/wearing pilates socks for grip.

→ BYO (water bottle, that is). We have water available in our filtered water cooler but we do not provide cups.

→ Bring a towel (especially when attending Yoga Flow, Strong & Boogie Aerobics!)

→ Try to avoid a big meal 90 mins before class

→ YES we have change rooms, 3 toilets & 2 showers + plenty of toiletries to get you ready for work or play!

Arrive at least ten minutes before class so you can feel settled to start, have a look around & pop your belongings away.

If you’re pregnant, have an injury or condition that effects your movement or are just feeling a bit sore, let your teacher know before class starts so they can give you options to suit your body (but you can always let them know in the class, too!)

Please bring along water & a towel & please leave all your belongings in the white cubes. We don’t want your phone or belongings getting squashed as we use weights & barbells in class.

At the beginning of each class your teacher will often ask about all participants energy levels & we often go around the room & say our name/pronoun & energy level - don’t worry we are all super friendly & honest & its a great opportunity for you to make some new gym friends!

Remember to move at your own pace & know you can stop, sit, rest, go to the toilet or have a drink of water at any time!

We’re here for you to thrive!

If you are recently injured/have had a recent injury we highly recommend seeking support from a physiotherapist - we recommend Redefine Physiotherapy, Female Focus Physiotherapy & Hunter Physio.

This helps us to make sure we are giving you appropriate options around your injury.

However if you are currently injured, you will need a physio or doctor’s letter of clearance to start class. We want to keep our clients moving safely, this ensures you do!

Alternatively, we have multiple clients who have had past injuries do a few 1-on-1 sessions with a trainer before starting group classes. This is great for building your confidence and strengthening areas that need support so you can transition well into group classes. Enquire below and we'll be in touch!

Our SCS studio is intimate and we keep our classes small (maximum 16 ppl) so we get a chance to focus on you individually in a fun social environment. Booking are essential and classes do book out, so we require you to cancel your booking at a minimum of 3 hours before your class. Booking is easy and can be done through our app.

If you are on a class pass & fail to cancel before your class this will be deducted from your total as if you had attended. Please be aware that by not cancelling out of your class session this may stop another member from signing in!

No Shows/Late Cancellations under the 3 hour policy will incur a $15 fee - this is to ensure fairness & access to classes for all clients.

You can find our full T&Cs here

We want all our members to get to class & sessions & get great value out of their memberships. We understand that sometimes we need a week off for a holiday or a rest.

We require Personal Training clients to cancel a session at least 24 hours in advance via email, otherwise the session fee will be forfeited.

Strong Academy & PT sessions can be accrued if we are given 24 hours written notice (email only) & we can email you a link to re-book your catch up session.

Just give us (2) two weeks written notice for when you’d like to pause so we can arrange this for you in time.

Please email hello@theselfcaresisterhood.com with the dates you will be away. Members can have unlimited pauses however please note a minimum of (2) weeks must be taken each time & if you are on a contracted membership - your membership end date will be extended by the length of each pause you take to fulfil your 6 or 12 commitment.

There is plenty of one-hour street parking on Cromwell St right outside the studio, as well as a two-hour free public car park a one-minute walk away.

The best way to reach us is by emailing hello@theselfcaresisterhood.com If you're not yet a member and are interested in joining, click here to fill out our enquiry form and we'll be in touch!
