The Studio 84 experience
Your home
away from home.
It feels more like walking into someone’s home than a gym. That’s deliberate.
- Step onto the grass
Through the front doors onto soft synthetic grass, then up the staircase under the domed lights.
- Settle into the lounge
Cushy sofas, shaggy rugs, a bookshelf and a kitchen with a fruit bowl and filtered water. Members hang out here after training.
- Train in the light
A separate, east-facing gym floor with few mirrors, chosen to feel comfortable and non-intimidating. Morning sessions come with the sunrise.
From our members
Professional,
but for real people.
“Great gym with trainers who customise your training to your individual needs and still push you every session! I’ve definitely seen progress in the last 9 months since joining Studio 84. Super friendly, not intimidating at all, and a really lovely group of members.”
“I really enjoy my semi-private training sessions and also the variety of group sessions available. I am feeling the fittest and strongest I have been in a long time. They have created a great community atmosphere and the facilities are the best I have seen on the lower north shore.”
“Studio 84 is very professional but for real people. As an overweight 50 year old I feel comfortable and well advised at the gym.”
“Great studio with good knowledgeable instructors who have a lovely personal touch. Very nice atmosphere to work out in. Clean, fresh and good equipment. Altogether it will inspire you to work out!”
“Every time I see Sam, I learn something new that helps me improve my overall fitness. If you’re in the Willoughby area and want longevity and health in your life, go to Studio 84.”
“They truly care about the clientele and it shows. They motivate you and push you beyond where you thought you could go. Every class kicks my butt and I always leave feeling rocked but refreshed.”
