You are perfect just as you are! We provide boutique sized small group classes to ensure all bodies are loved & looked after! We also provide options for ALL movements; including straps, blocks & chairs for support.

Our members range in age from teens through to 70s, and we don't believe anyone is 'too' anything to move for their mind!

Please keep in mind that all of our classes will require you to get up off the ground unassisted. If you have a disability, you are welcome to bring along your carer to our classes, to ensure you can enjoy and participate fully!

If you are particularly nervous - book a call with us and we can chat about what support you are needing.

If you are recovering from an injury, we highly recommend seeking support from a physiotherapist - we recommend Female Focus Physiotherapy & Hunter Physio.

This helps us to make sure we are giving you appropriate options around your injury.

However if you are currently injured, you will need a physio or doctor’s letter of clearance to start class. We want to keep our clients moving safely, this ensures you do!

If you’re unsure or want to chat about support options, book a call with us here

• A drink bottle (we have a filtered water cooler for you to refill)

• A sweat towel if you’re coming to strong, pilates or a cardio class

• Comfortable joggers/sneakers if you’re strong or a cardio class - and socks for Pilates/yoga/stretch. We have grip socks for sale in the studio if you forget!

• Wear something comfortable and stretchy - something that will help you move without having to keep pulling it down or up mid-class

• Boxing wraps for box + balance class (we also have some for sale in the studio)

• A towel + toiletries if you’re showering after class (we’ve got spare toiletries if you forget!)

• Your amazing self, ready to move!

All other equipment (incl. mats) is provided!

Arrive ten minutes before class so you can feel settled to start, have a look around & pop your belongings away.

If you’re pregnant, have an injury or condition that affects your movement or are just feeling a bit sore, let your teacher know before class starts so they can give you options to suit your body (but you can always let them know in the class, too!)

Please leave all your belongings in the white cubes. We don’t want your phone or belongings getting squashed as we use weights & barbells in class.

At the beginning of each class your teacher will often ask about all participants energy levels & we often go around the room & say our name/pronoun & energy level - don’t worry we are all super friendly & honest & it’s a great opportunity for you to make some new gym friends!

Remember to move at your own pace & know you can stop, sit, rest, go to the toilet or have a drink of water at any time!

We’re here for you to thrive!

Other gyms will tell you “5-6 times a week is best” - but we say it depends on YOU.

If you are just starting out, then committing to that many will just overwhelm you & your body might go into shock if its too much too soon.

We recommend starting slow and building up over time & find that for most people moving around 3 times a week is a good middle ground. We often recommend mixing up modalities to keep yourself motivated and keeping movement feeling fun & fresh - whilst also honouring your unique energy levels, goals & interests.

You can start with any class that tickles your fancy! All of our classes are beginner-friendly and our teachers are always available to give you an alternative option for movements in class.

If you are feeling especially nervous or want a slower class to ease you into it, we recommend starting with yin yoga or self care stretch.

We are located at on Alma Road in New Lambton (just across from the community centre).

Our Strong, Boxing, Strong Academy + open gym sessions are run in our upstairs studio at 12 Alma Road - enter via Cromwell St, just to the left of the optometrist. Come up the stairs and we are on the right!

Our Pilates, Stretch & Yoga classes are run in our downstairs studio just across the road at 5 Alma Road - look for the bright aqua building!

There is plenty of one-hour street parking on Alma Road & Cromwell St right outside the studios, as well as a two-hour free public car park a one-minute walk away (just past Alma Lane).

There are lots of coffee shops + restaurants nearby to grab a post-class snack or coffee.

There are also a number of bus stops within walking distance of the studio (routes 13, 23 + 25)

The Self Care Sisterhood was started as a female-only fitness studio as an alternative to intimidating, male-dominated gyms. Although we are still the 'Sisterhood', we want to emphasise that we are for anyone who identifies as she/her or they/them. A bunch of our members + trainers are part of the LGBTQIA+ community and we are a safe space for transgender and non-binary people.

We're registered with ACON's ' Welcome Here Project' as well as TransFriendly

We are for anyone who identifies as she/her or they/them

We get it - gyms can be super intimidating places. But they shouldn’t be!

Chloe (our founder + head PT) created the SCS specifically because she didn’t feel at home in the ‘typical’ gyms.

We believe that ALL bodies should be welcome in the gym + able to access movement that works for them, and there’s no such thing as being ‘too’ anything to move for your mind!

Here are some things we do to keep our members safe:

→ We don’t ever discuss diets or weight loss in class

→ You are always allowed to ask for an option, take a break, or ask for help when you need it

→ We don’t try to sell you protein powders or cleanses (ew!)

→ We have small classes (5-14 people) so reduce overwhelm and make sure you can always access support when you need it

We have a really friendly community, with members from a wide range of ages, backgrounds + abilities. We believe fitness should be fun + accessible to all bodies!

We love supporting people who are neurodivergent, LGBTQIA+, and living with chronic conditions/disability/mental illness. Our team have lived experience with disability, chronic pain, mental illness + neurodivergence

We love a chat + a giggle, and we don’t take ourselves too seriously (no matching sets or Lorna Jane required!)

We correct quietly and praise loudly so you’ll always leave class feeling encouraged

We encourage you to take class at your own pace, and will always celebrate you for turning up for yourself

We know all our members by name and will often check in on you if we haven’t seen you in a while or know you’re going through a tough time

You sure can! If you’re on a membership with us, you can pause for a total of up to 6 weeks during your membership. If you need to pause for longer, an additional fee applies ($8 per week) to cover our admin costs. Included in this fee, you will have access to our on-demand class library through the app while you are paused. Please note, your membership end date will be extended by the duration of the pause (eg if you pause for 4 weeks, your membership end date will be 4 weeks later).

Any pause requests need to be sent to hello@theselfcaresisterhood.com at least 1 week before the date you’d like to pause - this ensures your payments won’t go through before we can action it.

We do not accept pause requests via phone, text, social media, or our app.

If you can’t make it to a strong academy session, please let us know via email or by cancelling out through the app (you’ll find your booking on the main screen under ‘upcoming for you’ - just tap ‘cancel’).

If you let us know with at least 12 hours’ notice, we can accrue the session for you and catch it up sometime in the next 4 weeks.

If you let us know less than 12 hours before the start time, you will forfeit the session. All strong academy members get unlimited class + open gym access, so feel free to book in for a class that week so you don’t miss out on your movement!

If you’re on one of our part-time memberships (1, 2 or 3 classes per week), any unused credits will automatically rollover on your account for up to 30 days so you don’t miss out - yay!
