Why it's worth checking out
Shelly's Gym is a private, fully equipped and air-conditioned personal training gym on the Esplanade in Manly, Brisbane. It offers one-on-one sessions as well as two-on-one training for a friend or partner, with programs tailored to individual health and fitness goals. There are no contracts or long-term commitments, making it a practical option for people who prefer flexible training.
Sessions can incorporate weight training, cardio and boxercise, depending on the goals of each client. The gym’s training approach includes muscle toning, strength work, fitness improvement and weight-loss support, with exercise plans adjusted to suit different abilities, body types and limitations. Shelly also emphasises the role of healthier, more mindful decisions alongside exercise.
Shelly, a qualified Certificate 3/4 personal trainer, established the gym in 2010 as an alternative to large, potentially intimidating gyms and outdoor boot camps. The private setting may suit people who prefer individual guidance over a busy commercial gym environment. It caters to men and women and is positioned for people living or working in Manly, Wynnum and nearby bayside suburbs including Lota, Wakerley, Gumdale and Tingalpa. Street parking is available for clients arriving by car.
