KAAIAA is proper training for women 40+. A women-only studio in Bondi Junction built on one idea: midlife is a training window, not a decline. You get coached strength, conditioning, mobility, breath, mindset and recovery inside one weekly system — programmed for the body you're in now, by women who actually train women. Not another random class timetable. A complete training system.
-
Women 40+ who want to train properly and get stronger — whether you've trained for years or haven't walked into a gym in a decade. If you've ever felt out of place in a room built for someone else's body, this was built for you.
-
Yes, KAAIAA is women-only. The studio is built around women 40+, though plenty of women in their 30s train here too. You need to be 18 or over to train. The only exceptions to women-only are specific events, by prior arrangement. And if you're a member with a young child, you're welcome to bring them along while you train — sons included.
-
Three things. Strength is coached, not just demonstrated from the front of the room. Every session runs through one filter — the realities of training at midlife: joints, hormones, bone density, recovery and load. And classes are capped, so your form gets watched and you're never lost in a crowd. You're guided, not guessing.

THE BASICS
-
The core KAAIAA system is built on five formats, each doing a specific job:
• Create (Upper + Lower) — small-group strength coaching. PT-level attention on your form and progression, without the one-on-one price.
• KAAIAA — the signature class. Bodyweight movement, core, breath and mindset in one session.
• Amplify — strength and conditioning. Energy and cardio, kept structured and safe.
• Extend — mobility, stability and movement quality. The work that keeps you training well.
• Restore — recovery and down-regulation. Breath, rest and reset.
These five cover everything you need for the results we talk about. Focus (below) is an optional extra, not part of the core system.
-
Focus is an optional add-on — not part of the core system. It's an 8-week block of 30-minute classes built around a single lift, like the deadlift or the pull-up, so you can drill technique and build real strength in one movement. It's sold as an 8-week package for $400. Ultimate members get one Focus class a week included; everyone else can add it on. You don't need Focus to get results — the five core formats cover that. It's there for when you want to go deep on a specific lift.
-
Most classes run around 55 minutes. Focus runs 30 minutes.
-
Water and clothing you can move in. Closed-toe trainers are required for all classes unless told otherwise. Mats and equipment are provided.
-
In KAAIAA, Extend & Restore classes: ankle weights, foam rollers, resistance bands, pilates rings and light weights.
Amplify classes uses a multi-functional weight bench with dumbbells
Create and Focus run in the strength studio with squat racks, dumbbells, cable machines, kettlebells, benches and variety of other equipment.
THE CLASSES
GETTING STARTED
-
The 14-Day Intro Offer. It's $79.95 (incl. GST) and gives you six guided sessions — the whole KAAIAA system, once. Two PT-level strength sessions, one KAAIAA, one Amplify, one Extend and one Restore — plus a short pre-start consult so we understand your body and history, and a check-in at the end on your best next step. Your 14 days start when you check into your first class, not when you buy.
-
Yes — a short Intro Offer agreement. It covers your commitment to the 14 days, a health disclosure, a standard liability waiver for physical activity, payment terms, and a simple code of conduct (keep the studio respectful for everyone). You'll also be asked to keep a valid card on file. If you go on to join, you'll agree to a membership agreement covering the same health, liability and conduct terms, plus billing and cancellation.
-
The Intro Offer isn't refundable for cancellations, holidays or missed sessions, and the full $79.95 is payable even if you don't get through all six sessions. If something genuinely serious comes up — a medical emergency or unforeseen circumstance — we may offer a credit or partial refund at our discretion, with documentation.
-
No. Pauses and freezes apply to memberships, not the Intro Offer — once your 14 days start, they run.
-
The Intro Offer includes a short pre-start consult. Beyond that, everyone completes a health form before their first class — it's a safety and onboarding step, not a booking gate. You'll be asked to disclose any pre-existing conditions or injuries, and to check with your healthcare professional first if needed. If you have specific goals or concerns, talk to a coach and we'll guide you.
-
Through the KAAIAA Studio booking app (download via your app store) or online via the class schedule. Booking opens on a rolling 7-day window.
-
It depends what your individual goals are however most members train 3–4 times a week. Consistency matters more than intensity — the system is built to compound over time, not to punish you in week one.
-
Three tiers. All are billed on first class check-in, then auto-renew weekly. All include unlimited guest passes, KAAIAA On-Demand access and an Xtra Clubs discount.
• Studio — $99.95/week (incl. GST). Unlimited studio classes (KAAIAA, Amplify, Extend, Restore), unlimited guest passes, On-Demand access, 20% off workshops. 4-week minimum.
• Premium — $175/week, incl. GST (Best Value). Everything in Studio, plus 2 Create sessions a week, unlimited NPG Roller sessions, all workshops, a quarterly Evolt body scan and a quarterly 15-minute consult with the lead trainer. 3-month minimum.
• Ultimate — $250/week (incl. GST). Everything in Premium, plus unlimited Create, one Focus class a week, concierge booking, two Evolt body scans a quarter, a quarterly trainer check-in and two lead-trainer consults a quarter. 3-month minimum.
-
Studio: 4 weeks. Premium and Ultimate: 3 months. Both run from your activation date. After the minimum, your membership continues weekly until you cancel.
-
Yes — up to 4 weeks per membership year. Each pause runs between 7 and 28 days, can't start during your first 4 weeks, and is requested by email or in person.
-
After your minimum term, you can cancel anytime. Send your request by email or in person before your next weekly billing cycle, and you won't be charged again.
-
Memberships are non-refundable once paid, except where the law requires — that includes change of mind, not using it, or not being able to attend for work, travel or personal reasons. In serious circumstances — illness, injury, pregnancy or other exceptional situations — we may offer a partial refund, account credit, transfer or extension at our discretion, usually with documentation such as a medical certificate. If we can't run classes for an extended period and offer no alternative, you'll receive a pro-rata refund or credit for unused weeks. Your rights under Australian Consumer Law always apply.
-
On check-in to your first class — not at purchase. You can secure a membership now and pay nothing until you start. If a payment ever fails, class access is paused until it's sorted.
-
Not ready for a membership? You can train casually on a drop-in or a class pack. All prices quoted are in AUD and include GST:
• Studio drop-in (KAAIAA, Amplify, Extend, Restore): $50 per class
• Studio 5-pack: $237.50 — $47.50 per class, valid 45 days
• Studio 10-pack: $450 — $45 per class, valid 60 days
• Create drop-in (Upper + Lower): $95 per class
• Create 5-pack: $450 — $90 per class, valid 45 days

-
Every membership includes unlimited guest passes, so you can bring friends along to train with you. Each guest gets one complimentary visit — a single free taster per person. Bring as many different friends as you like, but the same guest can't keep coming back for free: once someone has used their complimentary visit, they'll need their own Intro Offer or membership to train again.
MEMBERSHIPS
-
You can cancel free up to 2 hours before a class starts. Inside 2 hours, or a no-show, incurs a penalty.
-
On a membership, a late cancel or no-show is a $10 + GST fee. On a class pack or drop-in, you lose the class credit. On the Intro Offer, a no-show uses one of your six sessions.
Closed toe trainers are required for all classes unless otherwise specified.
-
Cancel at least 2 hours out. You can text the studio but please be aware that the front desk is not always manned. We understand that plans change — just give us the window.
BOOKINGS + CANCELLATIONS
-
Yes. Every format can be regressed or progressed, and Create exists specifically to teach strength from the ground up. You start where you are.
-
It depends on the injury and whether you've been cleared by your healthcare professional. Talk to your coach before class and we'll work out what's appropriate.
-
We don't run dedicated pre- or post-natal classes, but our classes can be modified. Check with your healthcare professional before you start, and let your coach know.
-
KAAIAA is built to make you stronger, more mobile, more consistent and more confident under load — and to track that progress properly. We don't sell quick fixes or guaranteed weight loss. We build capacity. Results depend on the work and the consistency.
-
Yes. Keep it respectful, inclusive and safe for members, instructors and staff. Disruptive or inappropriate behaviour can mean removal without a refund. Beyond that: train hard, look after each other.
