At Oceana we pride ourselves on being Hobart’s friendliest club. Our members are all ages, shapes and sizes and if you come in and have a look around you will see for yourself that Oceana is a place where you will feel comfortable.
You don’t need expensive clothing or shoes, or have a background in sport. However as long as you have some loose fitting comfortable clothing you will be fine. If you are worried about starting out on your own – join up with a friend so you can keep each other company in the early stages.
We also know that those who exercise with a partner not only attend more regularly, they get better results and even better still – we will give you a discount on your membership fees if 2 of you join at the same time.
Our goal is to help you to teach you safe and effective exercises and to help you develop the habit of regular exercise so that you can reach your health and fitness goals.
We also understand that becoming a member at a health club might seem intimidating to some with all those “Fit” people. Well it is not like that at all. Please remember that everyone has to start sometime and being surrounded by other like minded people might be what helps you to finally develop the exercise habit.
To help new members ease into things, we have a beginner friendly circuit gym where you can exercise in a private room while you are just starting out. But we are confident that after a while you will be comfortable using all areas of the club and feel right at home. But we want to make your first few weeks as comfortable as possible.
While we think our equipment is great, it is the support, motivation and instruction provided by our Personal Trainers that is the real benefit of joining Oceana. Our team of trainers are here to help you to learn how to exercise safely and effectively and we really do care about our members.
You will have 5 sessions with one of our team in the first month to set up your individual program. This will also include an orientation on how all the equipment works, correct exercise technique and an overview of club rules and policies.
The key thing we ask you to focus on at the beginning is to develop a habit of regular attendance. Putting the time aside and making sure you get here regularly will ensure that you get the most value out of your membership.
We will also do a program update very 12 weeks to make sure that your exercises change as your fitness and strength levels improve. And you will be pleasantly surprised at how quickly you can improve your fitness in the early stages.
So don’t think you have to get fit and lose weight BEFORE you join, phone us or call in and see how we can help you. That is what we are here for, to provide you with all the help you need to get the results you want!
