THE NEXT CHAPTER OF
P.E. DEPARTMENT
We’re growing, with you.
We’re excited to announce that P.E. Department is levelling up.
From mid June we’ll be commencing construction works to increase our footprint into the previous site of Boxing Works, directly above us! This means 3 levels of P.E. and more space to plug in, and sweat it out!
ON A NEW LEVEL
WHAT'S NEW
Larger gym floor space
Lots more equipment
Better access
WE'RE ON A NEW LEVEL
Lower Ground: Gym Floor
Our OG gym floor, new and improved to accommodate all the heavy lifters out there! The lower ground space will host a suite of free weights, cables, pin and plate loaded machines and cardio equipment.
Ground: Group Training & Saunas
This is our street-facing level which will be your entry point to every floor (all three of them!). Our group training space and suite of saunas live here, and you can travel up and down our brand new staircase to access the lower ground and Level 1 gym floors.
Level 1: Gym Floor
Our brand spanking new gym floor with all the modcons your workout requires. Look forward to a dedicated cardio zone that looks out over Darlinghurst Road (hello natural light!), plus more cable machines and pin and plate loaded machines. Level 1 also has loads of floor space for all your body weight and stretching needs!
Mezzanine:
For the cherry on top, you can head up to the mezzanine area via the curved staircase to access more equipment or pay a visit to our treatment room. (plus look out over the whole gym floor to scope out your next sweat station!).
FAQS
What is the P.E. Department Expansion Project?
P.E. has spent the past two years settling into our new home. It has been such a wild ride and we have enjoyed introducing so many new members to our community.
When an opportunity presented itself, we couldn’t wait to seize it. Increasing our footprint to 1,200sqm was something that excited the whole team as we are now able to offer a more refined, bigger and even more extensive environment for you to sweat in peace.
We’ll always be the same P.E., just bigger and better!
When will construction begin and how long will it last?
Construction will begin towards the end of June, 2026 and be completed roughly 8-10 weeks later.
As with all builds, sticking to a hard deadline is tough, but we’ll keep you in the loop along the way!
Will the gym remain open during construction / any changes to opening hours?
Yes! We’ll be open the entire time we’re fitting out our new space.
There will be a few days that we’re closed, but we’ll be sure to stay in touch and not interrupt your training.
What areas of the gym will be impacted, and when?
As we are doing some major works on the Darlinghurst Road entry, there will be some disruption to the Darlinghurst Road door. Entry will be diverted to the rear entry for about a week.
At reception, we’ll regularly have tradespeople working, but this will be between 7:00am and 3:00pm, outside of our peak times.
There will be some noise and general construction debris, but we’ll do everything in our power to keep the place clean and as usable as possible throughout!
Will all group training classes still run as normal?
Yes! Your classes aren’t going anywhere. There may occasionally be a lunchtime or evening class that’s impacted, but we’ll give you as much notice as possible if that’s the case – and it’ll be the exception, not the rule.
What can I expect in terms of noise or disruption?
Honest answer, there will be some. Our tradespeople will be working between 7:00am and 3:00pm, well outside of our peak hours, to minimise the impact on your training. There may be some noise and dust from time to time, but we’ll keep the gym clean, safe and ready for you to sweat in. Any significant disruptions will be flagged via our weekly newsletter in advance.
Will all equipment and facilities still be available?
Yes! There will be limited times where certain areas may be impacted, but we’ll keep you informed through our weekly updates.
What new features or spaces are being added in the expansion?
We’ll be increasing our gym floor footprint by nearly double!
You’ll have access to a huge amount of new equipment, bigger changing and locker facilities, two levels of strength and cardio training and the usual classes and saunas.
How will I stay updated throughout the construction period?
We’ll be releasing a weekly newsletter with updates on all things build, timeline, and launch date.
Can I pause my membership during construction?
Absolutely. We will offer a complimentary freeze during the fitout period.
Who can I contact if I have concerns or feedback?
If you have any concerns or feedback, please contact our Club Manager, Georgia at georgia@pedept.com.au
