Most gyms try to cram in as many people as possible into a class, and focus on intensity at the expense of longevity.
The Richmond Gym takes a different approach.
Using athlete-inspired training methods, we prioritise biomechanics and foundational strength to ensure you progress without the burnout.
Our 8:1 member-to-coach ratio ensures that our coaches can provide personalised feedback to every member, making every class feel like a tailored session.
We also offer Open Training sessions to give members flexibility to train on their own schedule.

Our Strength classes are built on a structured, science-driven training system designed to deliver consistent, measurable progress. Each week is strategically split into three different sessions, allowing us to target key movement patterns, manage fatigue, and optimise adaptation - just like a professionally designed athletic program.

A World-Class Functional Space in Richmond
We’ve built a facility that reflects our commitment to quality.
From custom-designed flooring, featuring integrated lifting platform inlays, to premium running turf with marked lanes for speed and agility work, every detail has been purpose-built for performance.
The layout is intentionally structured to create a seamless training flow: movement preparation as you walk in, progressing into skills and conditioning on the turf, and finishing in a generous weightlifting zone equipped with a full range of kettlebells, dumbbells, Olympic barbells, and bumper plates.
