Fernwood Fitness

I begun my Fernwood Penrith journey as a creche staff member 4 years ago, and now as a full time mumma, I am back and I absolutely love this gym, it is honestly like a second home to me, the friendships, the support, the friendliness and the community at fernwood is like no other. Women empowering women every single day and I am beyond grateful that I walked into this place 4 years ago!
I would highly recommend Fernwood to all the female community in Penrith 🩷.

Love it here! Such a warm positive environment, fave time of the week is reformer with Mikayla and Linda :)

Fernwood Penrith has been an absolute life changing joy to be a part of! I first joined in December, really started going consistently in January when I started working with Melony, their nutritionist. I told her my goals, and she was so confident in me she explained how things worked, how foods would help fuel my body while keeping my goals moving forward. After having two kids my body was at a place I wasn’t proud of. I kept working with Mel, going to the gym and she kept checking in with me even outside of our appointments. Every time I was working out, it was either a friendly hello, a mutual look of “go girl!”, to even fitness advice. Within 3 months I hit a huge mile stone we had set, and felt so proud of myself. I’m actually not sure who was more proud, me or Mel. It’s so nice having a community of women who are supportive and uplifting. There is no cattiness (something I was nervous of walking into an all female gym), no expectations just support. I have asked multiple staff members for help on how to use machines or how to do a certain workout properly and they always help without hesitation. You can tell the staff really loves what they do. I can’t thank Mel enough. She and this team have truly changed my life. I’ve lost some weight, I can move around better with my kids, I’m stronger for my kids and feel better for myself.
All that being said my kids also love fernwood! They go with me 5 days a week and have such a good time! They love the staff everyone always says hi to my kids, are so lovely to them and takes time to get to know them. Everyday they get so excited to play at the gym! My babies really look forward to it, they do crafts, play in the ball pit, with toys, music, movies, it’s always something fun! 10/10 love this gym!

I attended the gym for the first time this morning, after joining last night. The service was warm and friendly, gym is very clean and well planned out.

This morning I was greeted by a trainer who was inviting and made me feel very welcome. Thanks for that chat at 6am!!!
Happy I made the change.

Thanks for a good experience!

When I first joined Fernwood Penrith it was like I was the new kid on the block as working out at the gym was very new to me but not now as I have made so many new friends. I love my Fernwood family and look forward to working out in a safe space whenever I can always striving to do my best with the support of the amazing staff. Thanks Fernwood Penrith for all your support and travelling this journey with me ❤

I have been a member of Fernwood since February this year and it’s the most positive life changing decision I have made ! It has everything I looked for in a gym especially being female only.
The staff are excellent ! Always professional and most importantly they really care about ensuring you achieve your personal fitness goals.
Whether you are someone that likes to do classes , do one on one personal training or just do your own thing - Fernwood ticks all the boxes and a visit to the gym becomes your happy place !
I love being a part of the Ferny family !

Mel is lovely and welcoming. All the ladies welcome you by name and make you feel at home straight. I've been training here for over 3 years and it is great to have a community of women supporting women. The creche is fabulous and they will go above to your children feel loved. All the trainers are wonderful! Thanks Fernwood, wouldn't train anywhere else.

I’ve been a member now for 2.5 years. I joined following the birth of my baby and I needed a place I would feel comfortable whilst I recovered but also a crèche where my baby would be well looked after. The gym hit all of my needs and exceeded my expectations. The staff are incredibly welcoming to both my now toddler and I. There is a true sense of family and also community of women with similar goals. The class timetable is full of options and times and the staff take on any feedback for tweaking. The facilities themselves are stunning, clean and Mel is always working on the next project to step it up a notch. Through the Covid restrictions, virtual classes and support was on offer and now stoked to be back like we never all had time apart.

A truly warm and friendly gym full of lovely people. Trainers are so welcoming and make you feel at ease whilst still pushing you to your capabilities. Since Melissa has owned the gym I've seen so many amazing renovations and changes! She's put in a new kitchen, new cycle room, new floor in the group fitness room and new equipment. Love training here feels like a big family

Fernwood Penrith is an empowering and motivating environment to be a member of. I have been a member for the last few years and can not fault them. Mel the owner is approachable, down to earth, genuinely interested in your health and well-being and so passionate about making the club as functional as possible. The staff are all very friendly and the trainers and instructors are passionate about what they do and never fail to give you a good workout. Last year the gym floor was renovated to create a functional training area. There are also plenty of cardio machines, weights and free weight sections as well as the group fitness room. Within the group fitness room there are a variety of classes offered 7 days a week for all training types and fitness levels. I love being a member of fernwood Penrith and would recommend joining to anyone who is considering it!!

I absolutely LOVE training here. The warm friendly smile as you walk in, to the awesome as bathrooms!!! It’s the little stuff I truly appreciate, like using their hairdryer and the cool face clothes. I truly feel comfortable and I love the functional fit and group fitness sessions.

A great gym with a really friendly and supportive outlook. The gym has a good range of group fitness and small group classes, as well as personal training packages and other regular fitness challenges. Staff members are knowledgeable and able to customise workouts to fit your personal needs and goals. Overall a really enjoyable place to do your workouts!

Fernwood gym at Penrith is amazing and I had pleasant session with Taylor . She was helpful and patient with me and will be having more exercises for my lungs in two weeks. 🏋‍♀

I have been a member of other gyms and nothing compares to Fernwood Penrith. First of all being welcomed by beautiful Renee at the front desk and then all the other friendly staff who are more than happy to help on any way. Since having a makeover it accommodates all your needs and is always clean with equipment always maintained and working ( unlike the last gym I was a member of ). I can't recommend it more highly. The personal trainers are also awesome !!!!

My Wife & Daughter love going to Fernwood Penrith. My wife has been a long time member & has always been supported in her journey, whatever life throws at her. My daughter loves showing off the artwork she does in Creche. As a husband of a member I would recommend this club!

Fernwood Penrith is an AMAZING gym. Beautiful atmosphere and the staff are VERY kind and friendly, always make me feel welcome. Always willing to have a chat and help out! I couldn't recommend this gym enough!

A beautiful gym with a beautiful community of supportive inspiring women! I love Fernwood Penrith because it has it all; a nutritionist, personal trainers, fun classes (yoga by Linda is my fav), challenges, a massage therapist and a hair and beauty salon. I genuinely love training at Fernwood Penrith which makes leading a healthy lifestyle easy!

Working at Fernwood Penrith as a membership consultant allows me to see how many women's lives are changed every single day! I am able to see women come in with a goal and continue to walk in every week to achieve them and it is so fulfilling! Fernwood Penrith gives women the chance to achieve their goals, make friends and improve their physical/mental health all while being in a safe and comfortable environment.
