A: The Brain x Body Fitness Studio provide individualised exercise programs targeting all ability levels, chronic conditions, injuries and physical impairments. The specialised equipment available at BBFS make it an ideal space for those diagnosed with a neurological/movement disorder and for adults free of any health concerns who don’t quite fit or feel comfortable in a mainstream gym environment.
A: Following your initial assessment ($130) the BBFS membership is $40 per week direct debited on a fortnightly basis. This gives you unlimited access to the studio during opening hours in addition to all group classes. The studio has a strict 4-month lock-in contract to encourage long-term commitment to regular exercise.
A: The initial assessment cost is $130. This will allow the exercise physiologist to conduct a thorough assessment with you. During this assessment, a range of baseline physical outcome measures will also be taken. This allows the exercise physiologist to measure your strength, flexibility, balance and self reported quality of life. These tests are repeated every 6 months to monitor change. Please note that private health can be used for this initial assessment cost.
A: Yes – You are able to hold your membership for a maximum of four weeks per calendar year with no additional charge. This is an option AFTER you have completed your four-month lock-in contract. If you wish to hold your membership for longer than four weeks, a two-week ($50 – plus transaction fee) re-joining fee will apply on your return.
If you are away from the studio for more than 3 months or experience a significant change in your health, we will require a formal re-assessment to ensure your program remains safe and effective.
A: The initial assessment can be claimed on the day using our HICAPS machine. To claim back for your weekly membership we ask that you email your studio requesting an itemised receipt. We will then email you a copy of your payments and outline the sessions you have attended. You will be able to use this receipt to claim back through your private health insurance.

A: Yes. This is possible through your capacity-building funding within your NDIS plan. Please call BBFS to find out more about the invoicing process.
A: Absolutely – we encourage this with all potential members. As we have a four month lock in commitment we want to make sure you know exactly what you are signing up to. Please contact the studio to arrange an obligation free tour of the studio where you can see the equipment and the atmosphere we have created at BBFS.

Each member must have an in-depth assessment prior to using equipment within the studio – unfortunately, this means we cannot offer a trial period.
