New Gym Equipment - Oakleigh Recreation Centre

Published on 18 September 2025

Our strength and cardio equipment is being upgraded at all of our 3 gym facilities, including Reformer beds and group fitness equipment (where applicable). This means fresh, new equipment is coming in and our old equipment is being replaced!

During the upgrade period, the gyms will be closed while extraction and installation take place.

Works will be staggered at each facility to minimise impact with Oakleigh Recreation Centre being the first centre. We will provide further information about Clayton Aquatics & Health Club and Monash Aquatic & Recreation Centre as works progress.

Oakleigh Recreation Centre closure dates:

Location	CLOSED	RE-OPEN

RESULTS HQ & Studio 4	Wednesday 24 September 6am - 2pm	Wednesday 24 September after 2pm

Below are some other options for you to consider during this period:
