38X Fitness

38X Fitness is a group training studio in Manly, Sydney, built around the idea that exercise should help people move more and feel better in everyday life. Its main offering brings together strength and conditioning, high-intensity functional training, Reformer Pilates and personal training, giving members several ways to work towards their goals in one place. The studio says it runs more than 80 classes and workouts each week, with sessions combining cardio and resistance training.

The training environment is positioned as energetic but supportive rather than intimidating. Group sessions are designed to create motivation and connection, whether you arrive with friends or meet other members at the studio. The coaching team works with individual needs and goals, helping members adjust their plan as they progress. Alongside exercise guidance, coaches can support movement, mindset, nutrition and recovery, creating a broader approach to health and wellness rather than focusing only on workout intensity.

That four-part approach is central to the 38X philosophy. Movement covers choosing training that supports enjoyment and performance, while mindset addresses positive lifestyle choices and mental fitness. Nutrition support can include structured programs such as Kickstart or Get Lean, as well as time with a nutrition coach. Recovery is treated as an essential part of training, with the studio’s Train Smart approach incorporating recovery techniques during sessions and for members to use independently. A Bio Scan is also available to check bio age and health biomarkers, and the website says members can receive a personalised health and wellness plan.

38X Fitness was established to challenge conventional ideas about exercise and build a strong, supportive community around group training. The website’s testimonials refer to the community created by Paula and David, while the broader coaching team is described as qualified and focused on knowing members, their goals and their aspirations. For newcomers, the studio offers an unlimited 14-day Intro Movement Pack, covering Reformer Pilates and group strength and conditioning sessions. The dedicated 38X Fitness app is used to view the timetable, manage a profile and reserve a place in a class. With its mix of structured group workouts, individual guidance and community focus, 38X suits people who want accountability and variety, whether training alone or alongside friends.
