Beautiful You feature: Fernwood’s more than a gym

ADVERTORIAL

Fernwood North Lakes and Morayfield are so much more than fitness centres for women, they are a ‘second home’ where women are encouraged to prioritise themselves in a supportive environment.

Owner Larni Mailer says they can take time out of their busy lives to work out and socialise in a setting which offers something for every woman.

“It’s a no-judgement zone … just a supportive, motivating tribe of women of all ages, sizes, cultures empowering each other just by being there,” Larni explains.

“The vision is that these spaces are not just a gym. They are an all-female environment focusing on women empowerment and supporting women to find what works for them to promote their overall health and wellness journey.

“We understand some days all you can do is get dressed. We are here with a caring smile to listen, support and motivate if that’s what you require in that moment, or just be a friendly face on the days you haven’t seen one.”

Fernwood North Lakes and Morayfield offer group fitness classes, Reformer Pilates, HIIT training, yoga, personalised programs and training, nutrition coaching, run club, HYPOXI weight loss studio, child minding, infra-red sauna, beauty products to make getting ready easier, complimentary breakfast, tea and coffee station, book library, monthly social events and workshops, and guest speakers to promote self-care and development.

“I was grateful to the Fernwood community as a mum starting out on my own health and fitness journey. The depth of gratitude grew insurmountably through my family’s own personal heartache,” Larni says.

“Having a space to come to, feeling supported and not alone is the foundation to happiness. Finding a community of women who recognise and share your triumphs and traumas is healing.

“We’re about camaraderie, community and empowerment. To have the opportunity as a franchisee to support other women, the way I have been supported, is everything to me.

“I am surrounded by women all working on themselves. I get to be a part of their journey, no matter how big or small that part may be. It is rewarding beyond measure.”
