FAQs - Temporary Gym Closure October 2025
Lords is pleased to announce that we are upgrading some of our equipment in the gym. The upgrade will include replacing the current cardio machines with new, top-of-the-range equipment. Additionally, we will be installing two brand new pieces of strength equipment - a prone leg curl machine and adding an extra leg extension machine to the gym floor.
To enable this upgrade to go ahead safely, the gym will be closed from Wednesday 22 to Friday 24 October, inclusive. We anticipate the gym will reopen on Saturday 25 October. Group fitness classes and the pool will be available as usual during this time. We will also be running our gym-based classes, SWEAT and Functional Fitness, on the sports courts throughout the mornings of the closure so you won't miss your chance to train.
If you have any questions, or would like to discuss the upgrade further, please feel free to contact us at lords@subiaco.wa.gov.au
As always, thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to seeing you in the gym soon!
Frequently Asked Questions
Which equipment is getting upgraded? What is coming?
All of our cardio is being swapped out for brand new equipment, plus the installation of two popular strength machines: the prone leg curl, and another leg extension.
Why are we getting an upgrade? What was wrong with our current equipment?
Lords values providing high quality equipment to our members! To ensure we provide our members the most up to date equipment, we regularly replace it.
Why do you need to close the gym down for multiple days? Can't I just use the strength equipment?
We value patron safety, since the equipment is being built in the gym, it’s not safe to have patrons moving in and around the gym whilst these works are being completed, but we can’t wait to see you back on the 25th.
If group fitness classes, pool workouts or alternative options don’t suit you, consider this the perfect excuse for some well-earned rest! To suspend your membership for the duration of the closure, please submit your suspension form here, by no later than Wednesday 15 October. This will not impact your annual membership suspension entitlements.
Please note: while your membership is on freeze, you will be unable to use any facilities that remain operational (for example, pool, sauna or group fitness classes).
The equipment will most definitely be able to provide you with the same workout as the old equipment. We have added some extra pieces of equipment and technological advancements on all of the traditional cardio pieces like the treadmills, ellipticals, and bikes.
The gym from first glance will look relatively the same with a few pieces of equipment located just a few steps away from where it used to live. Up close, and during your workout is where you will really notice the benefits of the brand-new equipment. There will also be additional pieces of equipment in the functional area for you to try.
Due to the extent of work that needs to be completed, it is simply not practical to have the gym operating during this time.
We will keep you updated on the progress of the project and notify all members as soon as possible if it is likely to take longer than anticipated.
