Elixr Health Clubs

Elixr Health Clubs is a large wellness-focused gym in Bondi Junction, Sydney, set across more than 3,000 square metres and two levels. It combines conventional gym facilities with a substantial timetable of Pilates, yoga, group fitness and aqua classes, making it suited to members who want variety rather than a single training style. The club says it runs more than 250 classes each week, including reformer and mat Pilates, yoga, group exercise and aqua aerobics, with one-on-one Pilates and fitness personal training also available.

The facilities extend beyond a standard weights-and-cardio setup. Members have access to a dedicated LifeFitness weights area, a separate cardio theatre, stretch spaces, a personal training studio and a private Pilates studio. The 25-metre heated indoor magnesium mineral pool hosts aqua classes and is also home to Elixr Swim School. Fully equipped change rooms include steam rooms, while the club also has onsite treatment and consultation rooms. The website lists resident or in-house practitioners including a nutritionist, naturopath, osteopath, acupuncturist and remedial massage therapist, although availability for individual services should be checked directly with the club.

Elixr’s atmosphere is a major part of its identity. The club describes itself as a calm sanctuary, with peaceful studios and an interior intended to feel more like a wellness retreat than a typical gym. That positioning is reflected in the mix of exercise, recovery and mind-body programs, as well as the emphasis on experienced instructors, teachers and personal trainers. It is close to Bondi Junction train station and directly opposite Westfield Bondi; the website also notes four hours of free Westfield parking when using the Westfield app.

Founded by Richard Chew in 2002, Elixr is a family-run business shaped by his earlier work in the eastern suburbs fitness industry, karate and competitive aerobics. He later introduced group reformer Pilates to Australia and established the Elixr School of Pilates. The club also operates Pilates and Yoga schools offering accredited teacher-training courses. With its broad class schedule, pool, training areas and specialist services, Elixr can suit solo members building a regular routine, people exploring Pilates or yoga, swimmers, and those looking for a gym that brings multiple forms of training into one Bondi Junction venue.
