Whether you’re new to a particular exercise, new to Eltham, or new to exercise in general, it can be difficult to know which fitness centre could be right for you. You need to find one that will accommodate your needs and goals— physical and otherwise— and that offers the style of exercise you want to get into (or continue).

If you’re a swimmer, you’ll be looking for gyms with pools. If you’re into lifting weights and gaining strength, you might be looking for a personal trainer. If you’re a yogi, you’re probably looking for a yoga class or a yoga studio, or you may be looking into trying Pilates.

In addition to finding a fitness centre that offers the type of burn you and your body want to feel, you need to make sure the gym you select fits your lifestyle. If you want to get your Pilates class done and dusted early in the morning before work, you’ll need to make sure your Pilates studio offers the type of class you want at a time that fits in with your schedule. On the other hand, if you prefer to work out at the end of the work day or even later in the evening, a 24-hour fitness centre may be best for you.

Whatever the type of gym centre, fitness trainer, Pilates studio, or yoga class you’re looking for, you’re sure to find it right here in Eltham!

This blog explores 5 of the best fitness centres in Eltham, from laid-back yoga flows to intense workouts with a gym trainer. Whatever your style, there’s a fitness centre to suit your needs and goals in Eltham. To find out more about each of the gyms, check out their individual websites for further information.

You can find Hot House Yoga & Pilates in the Eltham Mall, just above the Coles supermarket car park behind Main Road. It’s easily accessible via public transport as it’s close to the train station and serviced by many bus routes, so however you choose to get here, you can do it with no fuss.

Those looking for a more relaxed introduction to yoga or Pilates may enjoy the Classic Flow Yoga class, which runs for 60 minutes and isn’t heated. This class mixes dynamic movement with breath, teaches hatha style postures, and stretches and strengthens your muscles. Even if you’re at an advanced level, this type of class is still a great option!

Fusion Flow runs for 60 minutes at 30 degrees Celsius, and mixes vinyasa flow and body sculpting with weight training and a cardio component. The next heat level is the Power HIIT hot Pilates class at 34 degrees Celsius, which runs for 55 minutes. In this class, you’re in for some high-intensity interval training (HIIT) that aims to improve core strength and stability while toning the body and burning calories.

If you’re really missing the summer heat, try a Bikram yoga class on for size! These 90-minute classes are run at 40 degrees Celsius (though they are 60 minutes if you take 3 classes per week). Bikram yoga helps to build strength and stamina and is aimed at improving muscle tone and gaining energy.
