Women’s only fitness program

For years we have supported Women's Only programs in a culturally safe environment with Olympic Leisure, Heidelberg West being a key location for the program. With changes for the future of the centre announced and works under way to make it happen, we have used the opportunity to review and expand the program across multiple locations.  

The Women's Only program provides access to an equipped gym, saunas, pool and swimming opportunities. Depending on what you are interested in, or when you are available, check the schedule and get involved.

Costs to get involved: Free 

Minimum age: 16 years

What's included: access to activity spaces, lockers and change spaces, including accessible change spaces
