Membership inclusion changes from 1 July 2026

From 1 July 2026, we are updating the inclusions of some Active Monash memberships. This page explains what is changing, who is impacted, and what options are available before the changes take effect.

Key dates

  • Now – 30 June 2026: Opportunity for eligible members/pass holders to upgrade to BLUE MARC Complete to retain current inclusions (including ORC Reformer Pilates) on an ongoing basis, as long as the membership remains active.
  • From 1 July 2026: Updated inclusions apply for new and returning members joining from this date, including the introduction of Platinum Membership.

What’s changing?

  1. BLUE MARC Complete (new and returning members from 1 July 2026):
    The BLUE MARC Complete membership currently provides access to all three Active Monash sites and all three services (Gym, Aquatics, and Group Fitness Classes including ORC Reformer Pilates). 

    From 1 July 2026, for new and returning members only, ORC Reformer Pilates access will be removed from BLUE MARC Complete. Members will
    otherwise continue to have access to all three sites and all other included services.

  2. Existing members will keep their current access (while the membership remains active):
    If you already hold a BLUE MARC Complete prior to 1 July 2026 and you keep your membership active, there will be no change to your current access — you will continue to have ORC Reformer Pilates included.

    Important:
    If you cancel your BLUE MARC Complete membership and re-join after 1 July 2026, you will be joining under the updated inclusions and ORC Reformer Pilates will not be included within BLUE MARC Complete.

Upgrade opportunity before 1 July 2026

If you are currently on a membership tier below BLUE MARC Complete, and have been considering upgrading to access ORC Reformer Pilates included on an ongoing basis, you may wish to upgrade to BLUE MARC Complete before 1 July 2026.

Members who upgrade prior to 1 July 2026 and maintain their membership will continue to enjoy the current inclusions (including ORC Reformer Pilates) for as long as the membership remains active.

New top tier option from 1 July 2026: Platinum Membership

From 1 July 2026, we will introduce a new top tier membership: Platinum Membership.

Platinum Membership will provide access to all three Active Monash sites and all three services, plus Reformer Pilates access at both ORC and MARC.

If you would like Reformer Pilates access at MARC and/or ORC through a membership, you will need to purchase a Platinum Membership from 1 July 2026 (this will be available at a higher price point than BLUE MARC Complete).*

* Relevant multi-visit packs at both MARC and ORC will still be available to purchase. If new to the service, you might also wish to consider our Reformer Pilates Introductory Pack at MARC.

Platinum Membership pricing (2026/27)

  • Standard (no concession): $74.90 per fortnight
  • 10% concession: $67.40 per fortnight
  • 40% concession: $44.90 per fortnight

Will my current BLUE MARC Complete access change?

No—if you hold a BLUE MARC Complete membership prior to 1 July 2026 and keep the membership active, your access (including ORC Reformer Pilates) will remain the same.

What happens if I cancel and come back later?

If you cancel and re-join from 1 July 2026 (as a returning member), you will be on the updated inclusions, and ORC Reformer Pilates will not be included via BLUE MARC Complete.

Can I upgrade to the BLUE MARC Complete before 1 July and access ORC Reformer ongoing?

If you upgrade to BLUE MARC Complete before 1 July 2026 and maintain the membership, you will keep the current inclusions (including ORC Reformer Pilates) on an ongoing basis.

How do I access Reformer Pilates at MARC from 1 July 2026?

You will need to be on Platinum Membership (or purchase relevant multi-visit options) to access Reformer Pilates at MARC or ORC.
