The Studio
Can I use a package at both clubs?
+-Of course, unless it's clearly stated otherwise (e.g. 'Richmond Only Membership'. Regular packages and memberships can be used at either Richmond or South Yarra.
Where are you located?
+-You can find us in South Yarra, on 625 Chapel Street and in Richmond at 459 Church Street (you enter via Shamrock Street).
Is there parking?
+-Parking can be tricky in South Yarra and Richmond so we recommend allowing extra time. In South Yarra you will find paid parking at 670 Chapel (first two hours is free if you purchase from Woolworths). In Richmond you will find paid parking on Church Street. Parking is free in the surrounding streets.
What do I need to bring?
+-Your A-Game. Every time. Plus workout kit, including suitable trainers for Reshape and Reps, and suitable socks for Reformer if you don't want to go barefoot. We also sell these at reception.
We provide sweat towels, water bottles and shower towels/toiletries.
Socks are mandatory in our Reformer classes from 1 September. You can purchase in club if you forget.
What do you provide?
+-In our changing rooms we provide shower towels, hairdryers, straighteners and ironing boards, plus toiletries from Grown Alchemist. For your session you can grab a free sweat towel, and drink bottle.
We also have reformer socks available which you can purchase prior to your session.
Post or pre-workout we've got you covered with shakes and coffee available at our bar. After something a little bit more? Join us for Prosecco Friday, available every Friday at both our clubs.
Are there showers?
+-Yes, and they’re pretty damn slick. We’ve kitted them out with body wash, shampoo and conditioner and we also have moisturiser to keep you looking sharp. Plus we provide towels, Dyson hairdryers and GHD straighteners so you leave looking and feeling even better than you did when you came in.
Do you have lockers?
+-Absolutely, and a lot of them. No need to bring a lock, we operate on a code combination setup.
Do you have water or should I bring my own?
+-All our studios are single-use plastic free and we provide reusable stainless bottles to borrow for your session. If you’d prefer to bring your own bottle, we also have water stations available.
Is there food and drinks available to buy?
+-At our South Yarra Studio, we have post-session protein shakes and coffee available from our 1R Bar that can be pre-ordered or ordered there. We don’t have any food options but we can direct you to some great places to refuel close by.
The Sessions
Do I need Reformer socks?
+-From 1 September socs will be mandatory, if your forget yours then you can purchase in club,
Can I go next to my friend in a class?
+-For Reshape and Reformer you can pick your spot when booking a session, so you can choose two next to each other. For Rumble, you pick your bag when you arrive so you can grab two near each other. If you're not able to book spots near each other, speak to our Front of House team when you arrive and they might be able to work some magic.
Tell me about Reformer
+-We run Reformer Pilates in a way that you have never experienced and have two 45-minute class types so you can feel the burn, or pump up the intensity.
In Reformer you’ll get that deep burn you’ve been craving. Expect slower transitions and more time to nail your positions. You’ll burn, pulse and burn again.
In Reformer PLUS+ we work to the beat of epic tracks with fast-paced transitions that will drive muscles to the point of exhaustion, in a high-powered sweat session.
Tell me about Reshape
+-Reshape is a high-intensity session where you'll alternate between the treadmill and a box with dumbbells. Expect loud music and mind-blowing lighting, all timed perfectly to your workout and designed to push you exactly when you need it most. It's hard but we provide options so, so suitable for all abilities. It is high impact, but if you're worried about running and jumping give your trainer a heads up at the start of the session and they will give you some alternatives. Expect to sweat A LOT, and feel like an absolute legend when you're done.
If Reshape feels intimidating on your first go, try our Rebuild sessions. Rebuild is a more gentle Reshape. You get more rest and there is more focus on technique, and and still leave feeling amazing after an epic workout.
What kind of sessions do you offer?
+-Tell me about Reps
+-Prepare for a 45-minute, strength workout designed to maximise your gains. In Reps, you’ll swap between barbells for foundational strength moves including deadlifts and squats, and benches for conditioning rounds using dumbbells and dead balls to really get your heart pumping. On weekends we’ll host Rebel Lifting Club where you’ll work through 45-minute epic workout challenges to push your limits. It’ll get your heart racing and the payoff will leave you feeling great.
Reps strikes the perfect balance between building strength and enhancing your endurance, designed to complement our Reformer and Reshape sessions.
I’ve not done HIIT before, will I be ok?
+-Of course, we’ve got your back. Our workouts are scalable and accessible to everyone, plus our trainers are here to help you progress so you can train at your own pace. Be sure to turn up 15 minutes before the session for your first-timer induction to ease those nerves. Plus, if you are nervous about jumping into Reshape, you can try Rebuild, which is a more gentle Reshape with more rest (but don't worry, you'll still sweat).
What happens if I'm late for a session?
+-When a session has started the doors are closed and you will be refused entry for your own safety, and to not disturb the other participants. So don't be late - there are no exceptions to the rule. We know sometimes lateness can happen though, so if you are refused entry we will do our best to book you into a session on the same day so you can still get your sweat on.

What’s the difference between a package and membership?
+-A package is a single or group of sessions you can use as and when before they expire. The expiry length kicks in from the date of purchase. A package can be shared between two people.
A membership is a reoccurring payment that allows you to attend a certain number of classes a week for the minimum duration of time you've signed up for. You can cancel anytime after the minimum term. A membership can only be used by the holder and cannot be shared.
If you attend more than four times a month, a membership works out cheaper.
For memberships, when am I charged?
+-Package purchases are charged instantly. On memberships, your first payment is taken straight away; subsequent weekly payments are debited on that same day each week.
How do I cancel a membership?
+-Providing you are at the end of your minimum term, you can cancel your membership at any time. Just shoot us an email at info@1raustralia.com and we will help you out. If you are still within your commitment term, you will need to pay 50% of your remaining term.
