Spring into Fitness at Tieri Gym

As we bid farewell to winter and welcome the warmer weather, we often find ourselves with a renewed sense of purpose to shed the extra kilos acquired in the cooler climes. We paid a visit to Tieri Gym to find out what’s new and discovered all the different ways we can get in shape…

• The cardio room is complete with all the machines you need to really break a sweat: treadmills, ski erg, cross trainers, stepper and rowers.

• The weights room has just been given a boost with some brand new equipment added to the floor, including a lateral shoulder press, plate loaded hack squat, leg extension, pec fly/rear delt, and glute drive.

• There’s a multipurpose area for yoga, stretching, sled-pushing and so on, as well as sports such as indoor cricket and soccer.

• The CrossFit room is where you can combine weightlifting, gymnastics, and endurance cardio in a series of functional movements performed at high intensity. 

• And there are also squash courts on the premises that can be used by any paying member.

There really is something for everyone…and with the free child-minding service available at the on-site creche, it’s even more accessible! There are two sessions, Monday to Friday: 9.00am – 10.30am, or 10.45am – 12.15pm. 

“To make use of the creche, you just need to have a membership with either the Tieri Rec, Gym, or Pool, and you have to remain within the premises whilst your children are in our care,” explains Chantel McLaren, Supervisor.

Got older kids? Bring them along!

Children from 12-years can attend the gym with adult supervision, thanks to the Family Membership options of three- ($238), six- ($356) or 12-months ($534). Over 16s can access the gym independently.

Not ready for a long-term commitment? There’s a range of membership options to suit different needs!

Whether you want to check it out with a casual visit ($18) or a one-week pass ($42), need a month whilst you’re on roster ($71), or maybe you’re training for an event and need access for three months ($143), or perhaps you’re ready to get serious and want a six- ($204) or 12-month ($345) membership – they’ve got you covered. 

And if you’re currently permanently employed at Oaky Creek Coal, don’t forget the company will reimburse employees for fees for:

• Annual membership at the Tieri Recreation Centre and Tieri Swimming Pool or;

• An annual membership for either the Tieri Recreation Centre or Tieri Swimming Pool.

You can make one claim per year, you just need to retain your receipt from Town Services and fill out a reimbursement form. Check out OCC’s Active Lifestyle Reimbursement Policy for all the terms and conditions.

Prefer to work-out at random times of the day? It’s open 24/7!

It’s a self-manned gym that never closes, meaning you can use it at a time that suits you. Whether that’s early morning before your shift, during the day, or late at night; or whether you’re completely new to exercise or an experienced gym-goer, everyone is welcome, at any time.

“We pride ourselves on being a welcoming, friendly, community-focused gym. Our team is always happy to help members become familiar with our facility and all that’s available. We want everyone who enters our gym to feel comfortable, regardless of age, gender, or fitness level,” says Chantel. 

“For anyone new to working out at a gym, remember everyone has to start somewhere, and you’ll often find that the hardest part is simply walking through the door for the first time. We’re here to help ensure you don’t feel intimidated, so come in, take a look around, and we’ll help you find a routine that works for you.”
