Everything you need to know about getting started, our classes, memberships, and what to expect when you walk through the door.
Getting started
Do I need to be fit before I start?
Not at all. Every class at HABITAT is coached and every movement can be scaled to your level. Whether you're brand new to exercise or returning after time away, you'll be supported from day one. You don't need to be fit to start. That's what we're here for.
What is the trial and how does it work?
Our trial is 5 classes for $45, valid for 2 weeks from your first class. You can try any combination of classes including Reformer Pilates. It's designed to give you a proper feel for the place before you commit to a membership. New members only. Start your trial here.
What should I bring to my first class?
Wear comfortable workout clothes and bring a water bottle and a sweat towel. For Reformer Pilates classes, grip socks are required. You can purchase these at the front desk if you don't have any. Everything else you need is provided.
What should I expect on my first visit?
Arrive a few minutes early and introduce yourself to the coach. Let them know it's your first class and they'll walk you through everything. Classes are welcoming, the movements are coached, and nobody expects you to know what you're doing on day one. You'll be guided the whole way through.
How do I book a class?
Download the HABITAT Members App from the App Store or Google Play and book directly from there. You can also view the timetable and manage your account in the app.

Classes and timetable
What classes does HABITAT offer?
We offer Kaha (strength and conditioning), Warrior (HIIT), Pulse (cardio circuit), Spin (indoor cycling), Reformer Forge (strength Reformer), Reformer Ignite (jumpboard cardio), Reformer Restore (mobility and recovery), Reformer Rookie (beginner Reformer), Open Gym, and Personal Training.
Which class should I start with?
If you're new to the gym, Kaha or Pulse are great starting points. If you're interested in Reformer Pilates and have never tried it before, start with Reformer Rookie which is designed specifically for beginners. Not sure? Chat to us and we'll point you in the right direction.
Do I need experience to try Reformer Pilates?
No experience needed. Our Reformer Rookie class is specifically designed for people who have never been on a Reformer before. The coach will walk you through everything. If you've done Reformer before, you can jump straight into Forge, Ignite, or Restore depending on what you're after.
Are the classes suitable for all fitness levels?
Yes. Every class is coached and every movement can be modified or scaled. You will never be left to figure it out alone. Our coaches are experienced at working with people of all ages, fitness levels, and backgrounds.

What memberships are available?
We offer Baseline (turf classes and Open Gym), Unlimited (full access to everything including Reformer), and Credit+ (2 classes per week including Reformer). Each is available on a 12-month or flexible no lock-in plan. View all memberships here.
Can I freeze my membership?
Yes. All memberships include flexible freezing. Contact us to arrange a freeze and we'll sort it out for you.
