The gym fixes more than you think…

Bad mood? Fixed.
Stress levels? Lowered.
Confidence? Slowly making a comeback.
Attitude? Slightly less feral.

You walk in thinking you “can’t be bothered”…

And walk out like you’ve got your life together (even if it’s just for an hour).

It’s not just a workout.
It’s therapy… just cheaper and with better arms.

Keep showing up — it’s doing more for you than you’d like to admit. 😉

#medowiefitness ##gymmedowie #meetmeatthebar

Give this a try? Can you do it?

#reeltrend #viral

With the coffee shop opening next week, we're taking a little time off.

Open gym will be available for our members, and workouts can found in Wodify all weekend.

#happyeaster🐰

You don’t get a practice run at this.

No redo. No rewind. No “I’ll start later.”

Just this one life… and the version of you that’s either going to chase it — or keep watching from the sidelines.

Stop waiting to feel ready.

Stop shrinking your goals to fit your comfort zone.

Go all in.
Back yourself.
Make it count.

Because one day, you’ll either say

“thank god I went for it”

or

“I wish I did.”

Which one are you choosing?

WE ASKED OUR MEMBERS TO BRING ANYTHING OTHER THEN A WATER BOTTLE TO CLASS.

Which is your favourite?

@thebarmedowie #thebar #meetmeatthebar

Our strength block is finished, and we have a de-load week before our new block finishes.

This week, we'll see more long endurance workouts, no percentage strength work.

Everyone is seemingly very exhausted, so this week is a good recovery week, and we're closed over the long weekend.

No 4.30pm Thursday class (2nd April)
Closed for classes Friday, Saturday and Monday.

We'll be back Tuesday 7th to kick off our new strength block.

If you've been wanting to trial our classes grab yourself a 2 week trial for $20. Link in our bio.

#strengthtraining #medowiegym #portstephensfitness #funnyreel

Just a whole lot of wins.

PBs all round this week.

Lifting heavier.
Moving better.
Backing themselves.

This is what happens when you keep showing up.

Big energy in the room right now ✨
What’s your next PB?

#wins #personalbests #meetmeatthebar

One movement, three different scaled options.

Those that are starting from the very beginning, those who do it for fun, and athletes who have been doing it for years, there is something for everyone with this type of training.

One movement can look very different for many athletes.

#functionalfitness #meetmeatthebar

22 years ago, a little girl started out on a career path, that never thought it would bring her here.

8 year old me, would be very proud of 41 year old me.

I grew up an active kid, so from the moment I decided I wanted to get into the fitness industry, I knew that I was never going to do anything else. My whole life's work has been about creating the space we have now, and moving it into the future.

I've felt very blessed to find my passion early in life, and have the strength to stick with it.

Sometimes being at the helm can get lonely, but to build a community where growth and friendships are built everyday, that's the real rewarding part about it all.

#trend #portstephensfitness #medowiegym #meetmeatthebar

I’ve been noticing it lately.

Not in a bad way… just in a real-life way.

The darker mornings,
winter sport starting back up,
everyone’s schedules filling up again.

And training is usually the first thing to get pushed aside.

Not because you don’t care.
Just because life feels a bit full.

But this is the part of the year where it actually matters most.

Not going all in.
Not being perfect.
Just… staying connected.

Sending a message in the group chat.
Checking in on someone you haven’t seen in a bit.

Saying “I’ll come” — even if you’re not 100% feeling it.
That stuff matters more than motivation ever will.

Because no one really does this alone.

Even if it looks like they do.

So if you’ve been a bit off lately, that’s okay.
Just don’t go quiet.

And if you’re going well right now —
bring someone with you.

New week loading! Who can you check in on this week? 🤍

#community #medowiefitness #meetmeatthebar #support

Friday fun 😁

#meetmeatthebar #funnyreel #kidsfitness #medowiefitness

Everyone’s busy.
Work, kids, life, mental load… it doesn’t stop.

But sometimes “busy” isn’t the whole story.

Sometimes it’s
putting yourself last
again and again
until there’s nothing left to give.

Not because you don’t care.

Because everything else feels more urgent.

Here’s the quiet truth:
You don’t need more time to look after yourself.
You need permission.

Permission to take 30 minutes
without guilt
without explaining
without earning it first.

Because you matter too.

Not after everything else.

Now.

So maybe the question isn’t

“Why am I so busy?”

It’s
“Where did I go on my own priority list?”

And what would change if you moved yourself up, just a little?

What’s one small thing you could do for yourself this week? 💛

#selfcare #meetmeatthebar #medowiegym #medowiefitness

We'll see you soon @oldboy_fit.

You've been such an inspiration to so many over the last couple of years, as a part of our community.

At 72 years young, there has been nothing you haven't conquered.

I remember your very first class, how nervous you were to get back into it.

Look at you now. 🙌

We wish you and your beautiful wife an amazing time on your next adventure.

And when you return, we expect to see you right back here, with your 9.30am mums.

You will be missed 😢

We believe in you 🙌

People think CrossFit looks like elite athletes throwing around massive weights.

And sure… some people can do that.

But for most of us?

It looks like showing up after work.
Scaling the workout.
Taking extra breaths between sets.
Trying again next week.

It looks like normal people doing hard things together.

That’s the real magic of it.

Have you ever been surprised by what CrossFit is actually like? 🤍

#progress #medowiefitness #portstephensfitness #transformation #meetmeathebar

There’s a line from Avicii that sticks with me:

“One day you’ll leave this world behind, so live a life you will remember.”

Most people hear that and think
travel more,
take bigger risks,
do something wild.

But honestly?

Sometimes it just means showing up on an ordinary Tuesday.

Training when you’re tired.

Walking through the doors when motivation is low.

Doing something small for your future self.

No big moment.
No dramatic transformation.
Just quiet consistency.

Weeks turn into months.
Months turn into years.

And suddenly you’ve built a life that feels stronger, healthier, and more capable.

That’s a life worth remembering too.

2 weeks for $20 trial. Maybe this might be the start of the life you'll remember.

There are two conversations you’ll have with yourself at the end of the year.

“I can’t believe I did that.”
or
“I wish I had.”

The truth is… most people wait until they feel ready.
More time.
More confidence.
Less fear.

But the people who change their lives rarely start ready.

They just start.

So maybe 2026 isn’t the year you play it safe.

Maybe it’s the year you walk through the door, try the thing, lift the weight, meet the people… and surprise yourself.

Make 2026 the year you say:

“I can’t believe I did that.”

Not

“I wish I had.”

We have a 2 weeks for $20 trial. How could you not say 'yes' to that? 🤷‍♀️

#medowie #crossfitcommunity #strongerhumans #startbeforeyouready #thebarcommunity

Who you surround yourself with matters.

The people in the room with you
the ones showing up,
having a go,
encouraging each other,
getting through tough sessions together…

That energy rubs off.

Some days you walk in tired.
Some days motivation is nowhere to be found.

But when the room is full of people trying their best,
it makes it easier to keep going.

Not because anyone’s perfect.
But because effort becomes normal.

That’s the kind of environment that helps people grow.

Not pressure.
Not ego.

Just good people doing their best.

And that changes everything.

Who in your life brings that kind of energy? 🔥

#positiveenergy #meetmeatthebar #medowiegym #portstephensfitness

Who's ready for a new week 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️

We're ready to go. See you Monday ✌️

#sundayfunday #newweek #weekendreset

It’s easy to think the workouts are the reason people stay.
But the truth is…

it’s the people.

The ones who say hello when you walk in.
The ones who notice when you’ve had a rough day.
The ones who clap for your PB like it was their own.
The ones who make the hard days a little lighter.

The weights are heavy.
The workouts are tough.

But the people beside you make it feel possible.

That’s what makes this place special.

Not the equipment.
Not the programming.

The people. ❤️

#communitymatters #crossfitcommunity #strongertogether #fitnessfamily

Social media isn’t really for your friends.

It’s a space to put something into the world
that someone out there might need today.

A reminder.
A bit of courage.
A moment of honesty.

Sometimes the people closest to you won’t be the ones who connect with it.

And that’s okay.

Because somewhere, someone you’ve never met
might read it and think,

“Yeah… I needed that.”

That’s the point.

#medowiefitness #strongertogether #gymmedowie

If you can’t do it for yourself…
can you do it for them?

For the little eyes watching how you handle hard things.
For the ears listening to how you talk about your body.
For the hearts learning what “strong” really looks like.

They don’t need a perfect parent.

They need a present one.
An honest one.
One who keeps showing up — even when it’s uncomfortable.

Train so they see resilience.
Eat well so they learn self-respect.
Rest so they understand balance.
Back yourself so they learn to back themselves.

Because one day, when life feels heavy for them…
they’ll remember what you did when it felt heavy for you.

You don’t have to be the fittest in the room.
You just have to be the example in theirs.

#positiveexample #kidathlete #setanexample

That's how community works....

Some days your workout buddies are encouraging you to keep going.

The next day you're doing the encouraging.

No one is ever left behind!

#gymsupport #gymmedowie #meetmeathebar #medowiefitness #teamwork

Another month in the books. Great to see so many names on our list.

Here's to a cooler month, and a longer list this month.

Lets go!

@gr33ds
@charliejayway
@morgankirkkk
@shaz.sonny.mack
@tahns.gee
@jkristylee
@lovelyjubblee
@debk1962
@edwardsearthmoving
@courtneyandthecat
@khaz7_robbo
@dieseldenz
@badmeaning_good
@mgrover82
@the_bennyc
@vee773
@aletakinkade

Same body.
Same doubts.
Same quiet frustration.

You don’t need a new year.
You need a new decision.

Not a dramatic one.
Not a “burn your life down” one.

Just a brave one.

The first session.
The first walk.
The first “I’m coming tonight.”

You don’t need to be confident.
You just need to be willing.

Because confidence isn’t built before you start.
It’s built because you did.

So tell me —
Is today the day you stop waiting to feel ready?

FAQs

What is Perform?

Perform is a challenging fitness program that combines exercises and nutrition to help you get stronger and healthier. It's a great way to improve your overall fitness and see results.

There's a particular emphasis on comradery and community that we love here at The Bar.

Can I bring my kids?

You most certainly can. Monday to Friday we offer a creche during our 9:30am class. There is an extra cost for this service.

Your kids 13 and over are also allowed to participate in classes. We are a very family friendly community. We have an area where the kids can hang out, watch you train and play together.

Do I have to be fit?

You most certainly DO NOT need to be fit to start at The Bar. You don't become fit to join, you join to become fit.

While movements might seem hard or intimidating at first, our experienced coaches will coach you through.

Do you have shower facilities

We do have shower/toilet facilities that are available to use for all members.

We also have a recovery room that you can book in to use (available to general public too)!

How much will it cost?

We have a variety of memberships available, ranging from $45-50 per week.

We have drop-in classes available.

Oh, and Fitness Passport members can also train with us at a reduced membership rate!

How many people come to each class?

We would average around 10-12 members each class, but it can fluctuate. Our class cap is 20 people per class during the week, and 30 for our partner workouts on Saturdays.

TEAGAN -

In the last 9 months my physical and mental health has changed so much, i have a glow that I have never had before.

I am so much happier, brighter, lighter and finally feel like after growing and nurturing three babies, gaining a lot of unhealthy weight and habits I have found myself.

JACK -

To be honest, i feel pretty well the fittest (cardio and strength wise) I have ever felt physically. Its ironic because i’m also about the heaviest i’ve been. Go figure

RHIANNAN -

I'd been looking for a gym to join and had tried several free trials over the preceding years. I was working full time in healthcare, had 3 small children, wasn't sleeping well and had put my recent illness down to burnout. Turns out my pancreas had gone 'kaput' and I had Type 1 diabetes. My GP said I needed to prioritise myself and that exercise would help, If I could just commit to 3 sessions a week of exercise other than carrying the physical and mental load of 5 people. I thought he was crazy and that how on earth could I fit anything more in but knew I needed to prioritise me. So, I walked in one 5 am class and have loved every moment in the gym since.

Stronger Body. Stronger Mind. Stronger Community.

If you want to build muscle, get fitter, and train in a positive, judgment-free gym—this is your place.
