Fitness Challenge
24 Hour Gym & Training Facility Located in Burwood & Clayton
A fitness challenge is a great way to jumpstart your fitness journey or break through a weight-loss plateau. It can also help increase your energy levels, improve your mood and reduce stress.
There are many different fitness challenges out there, but they all have one thing in common: they require you to push yourself physically and mentally.
A fitness workout challenge can last for a few days or several weeks, and can be done alone or with a group. No matter what type of challenge you choose, be sure to set realistic goals and listen to your body. With a little effort and discipline, you can achieve amazing results!
Can’t wait to get started? Sign up for a 7-day free trial at our gym and challenge yourself to smash your fitness goals!
Facilities at Training Day Gym
Cables N’ Things
You won’t be caught waiting to get some cable curls or tricep pushdowns here! On top of two big cable stations, we’ve added an extra tricep station on the end of it, so you can still do your cable flies when someone just wants to use one end for tricep pushdowns.
The Playground
This part of the gym is a heaven for weightlifters, powerlifters, and functional athletes. A turf track 15m in length. 5 designated weightlifting platforms, 2 carpet surfaced powerlifting platforms, 2 competition spec combo racks (not shown), 4 double cell squat rigs with monkey bars in between.
Squat Station
Rogue cages, calibrated steel plates, power bars, deadlift bars, GHRs and a whole lot of chalk; hell, we even have some Eleiko bars! We’re blessed with over 15 squatting stations at our Clayton gym.
Lift Zone
Tons of flooring had to be laid down to prepare our platforms for what your weight are about to do them! With facilities catering to both Weightlifting & Powerilfting; these areas will be loud and PR’s will be broken.
Machine Central
All of our bench presses are Australian made and have spotter arms (not shown in the render), so you can feel safe during those quiet hours where spotters aren’t easy to find. Most of our machines are Nautilus branded, with a few pieces of specialty machines such as the Pendulum squat, and the Glute drive.
Cardio Section
Startrac treadmills, Ellipticals, all kinds of bikes, and of course, the ultimate Stairmaster stair mills. Overlooking Princes Highway, you get reminded that you are in the gym making the progress that those people driving home are missing out on. Go you!
Bags N’ Group Zone
Sometimes you just need to hit something. These bags are here to keep you out of trouble. If that’s not fun enough for you. Our Boxfit classes are the most popular classes we have. On top of this, the floor in this group training zone is designed to handle weight dumping. It comes in handy in our Barbell Fit and Hiit classes where you simply don’t have the energy left to put the weights down softly. So you let the weights know how much you’re hurting!
Class Room
We run a variety of classes in this room, from Yoga, floor Pilates, to High Intensity Interval sessions. Take a look at the ‘Classes’ section to find out more. Two floor to ceiling windows in this room which looks out to Ferntree Gully Road. When classes are not running, this is another open training space for anything you want. Or just pose!
Barbells
This is probably what Training Day is known for more than anything else. Yes we have the highly sought after Swedish made Eleiko Barbells out on the gym floor for members to use. If you’re not familiar with what that is, a quick Google of their pricetags should indicate the cult. It doesn’t stop there, Rogue powerlifting and weightlifting bars, Comp spec combo racks, and your favourite carpet surfaced deadlifting platforms that we have to resurface regularly… but we get it, because training is life!
Calibrated Weights
CALIBRATED AND BUMPER PLATES For those who are asking: why are calibrated weight plates important? Here’s your answer: A regular weight plate, (like the ones most health and fitness gyms use) can vary up to 300g in weight per plate. Sure, that doesn’t sound like much, instead of bench pressing 20kg I’m doing 19.7kg. But let’s now imagine you are lifting 5 plates per side, training for your first competition. In total, that’s 3kg off the actual weight you think you’re lifting. You head off to competition thinking you’ve done this weight before, and on the day, it doesn’t move! Now you go searching for a gym with proper weight plates! We’ve saved you that painful experience.
Sunlighten Infrared Sauna
Speed up recovery, detoxification, relax, burn more calories, increase collagen production, the list goes on. This is such a great method to aid your recovery, especially if you’re training as hard as we think you are. If you haven’t tried, or don’t know what an infrared sauna is, don’t miss out any longer. Our infrared sauna in Clayton can be booked ” HERE ” on the website or phone us up.

What is a fitness challenge?
A fitness challenge can be as simple as doing a certain number of push-ups every day, or you can up the difficulty by adding other exercises like sit-ups, lunges, circuit training or fitness classes.
Fitness challenges usually last for a set period of time, such as six weeks or three months, and are designed to help you break down your fitness goals into achievable tasks. You can also involve friends and family in your fitness challenge to make it more fun and competitive!
Our Burwood and Clayton gyms have a range of facilities to aid your fitness challenge, including a cardio room, boxing room, machine room, and much more! We also offer group fitness classes so that you can organise a fun training session with your pals.
Fitness challenge ideas for beginners
If you’re a beginner, look for a challenge that focuses on building basic strength and cardiovascular endurance. Here are some popular fitness challenge ideas for groups and individuals to get you started!
-
Squat challenge
This fitness challenge involves doing a certain number of squats each day for 30 days, gradually increasing the reps as you go. The squat is a good exercise for toning your legs and glutes, and this challenge will help you see results quickly.
-
Push-up challenge
Another great workout is the push-up challenge. This one is perfect for beginners because you can start with as few reps as you like and increase the number as you get stronger. Push-ups are a full-body workout, so this challenge will help you tone your arms, chest and core.
-
Plank challenge
The plank challenge is a great way to improve your balance and core strength. Start by holding a plank position for 20 secs on day one, and work up by 15-second increments on the following days. Planking is a deceptively challenging exercise, so this fitness challenge will really test your limits.
-
Walking challenge
Walking is a low-impact fitness activity in which people of all ages and skill levels can participate. A walking challenge involves walking a set number of steps (usually 10,000) or distance in a given day. Because it’s so easy, walking is a particularly popular fitness challenge for groups and workplaces.
As you get stronger and more fit, you can increase the intensity of your fitness challenge exercises, incorporating our extensive range of fitness centre equipment into your routine. But always listen to your body and back off if you feel pain or fatigue. Remember, fitness challenges should be challenging but also enjoyable, so don’t put too much pressure on yourself!
Which fitness challenge is best for you?
To find the right fitness challenge for you, consider your fitness goals. Are you looking to lose weight, build muscle or boost your overall health? Once you know what you want to achieve, you can start narrowing down your options and creating a fitness challenge plan.
If you’re looking to lose weight, for example, you might want to consider a healthy eating challenge that combines exercise with a well-balanced diet. If you’re looking to build muscle, you might want to find a fitness challenge that includes strength training.
Our experienced trainers can help you design a fitness challenge program that works for you. Join a Training Day gym today!
Are fitness challenges any good?
Fitness challenges have many proven benefits. The right fitness challenge can help you:
- set and track your fitness goals;
- improve your physical fitness and wellbeing;
- connect with other people interested in getting fit;
- increase your motivation; and
- have fun while seeing amazing results!
Whether you’re competing against yourself or others, a fitness workout challenge is a great way to refresh or reactivate your exercise routine.
Who can participate in a fitness challenge?
The best thing about fitness challenges is that they are open to everyone – men, women, teens, kids, couples, singles, and so on! A fitness workout challenge can be as straightforward or as complex as you like, making it perfect for every fitness level and ability.
