FAQs

Are you COVID-19 safe?

Absolutely! Hobart Strength Training is a private facility where there is never more than four people training at one time. As a result, we have great control over who accesses the gym, and it is easy to socially distance.

All our equipment is also cleaned with alcohol before and after every use.

There is plenty of hand sanitiser and hand soap available, too.

Please contact us if you would like more information.

How much does Hobart Strength Training cost?

From as little as $65 per week, you can have in-person coaching and a customised program. We have a range of strength training options, and pricing varies depending on the combination chosen of one-on-one coaching and group coaching.

We recommend newcomers begin with a FREE, no-obligation, trial session so that we can learn about your history, goals and budget and give you a taste of our training approach.

To find out more about our options and pricing, please contact us.

I'm an older person - can, and should, I train?

Definitely! It’s extremely beneficial for older people to strength train as it will help increase muscle mass and improve function. It is also low impact, difficulty can be gradually scaled up and when done correctly, it has a very low rate of injury. This makes it suitable for people who have existing injuries or need to account for certain health issues. We always get to understand our clients and their limitations before we begin training so we can prescribe a program that is safe, and effective.

In fact, the Australian Government recommends that older people strength train 2 or 3 times a week. To find out more about what the government recommends, please refer to the guidelines here.

Absolutely not! We have clients aged from 11, through to 82 years old who use strength training to improve their health and quality of life. We are experts in introducing people of all ages and abilities to strength training and can create a program that works for you.

I AM A BIT NERVOUS AND SELF-CONSCIOUS, HOW PRIVATE IS HOBART STRENGTH TRAINING?

At Hobart Strength Training our one-on-one and group coaching sessions are private, which means it will just be you and your coach in the gym. For group sessions, there will be a maximum of three other people in the class. You will never be too close to another member and will not have to share equipment.

All our programs are tailored to the individual, whether they have never lifted a weight before or are experienced in strength training. This means that regardless of your skill or confidence level, we guarantee you will feel comfortable, safe and welcome.
