the same conversation you’re about to have…

  • "UVSL is a very unique place. It's amazing how much progress can be achieved with the right guidance. I am incredibly happy that I have joined, and I highly recommend UVSL to any woman that wants to get strong and fit in no time. Coaching is marvellous, and the variety of classes is fantastic. It's hard work, but truly rewarding. I have started from 2 classes a week, and after 2 months I am doing 5, and I LOVE IT!!! Very affordable, very well-organized, and simply the best!!!"

  • "I have been so impressed by this gym. It’s such a welcoming, inclusive and supportive environment and community to be a part of. I look forward to going to the gym, which is something I’d never thought I’d say! Ellie and her team are approachable and experienced coaches who make the experience amazing! Highly recommend to all ladies in the area!"

  • "The best gym I’ve ever been to! I’ve always struggled to stay consistent with Pilates/doing my own thing, but I love the classes at UVSL and haven’t missed a week since I joined. Such an inclusive and judgment-free environment, and the trainers are amazing" ❤️❤️❤️

  • "I recently joined UVSL and in this short time I already feel stronger, my body is changing shape, my energy levels have increased, and my joy factor has up-leveled. What a holistic improvement! The classes are varied, the trainers are genuine, the vibe is uplifting, and I feel wholeheartedly supported and encouraged, both in class and in the app. Ellie, you’ve created something truly fabulous for all women that walk through your doors."

  • "I was very nervous to get back into the gym after over a year of injury and lack of confidence. I didn’t want to go to a ‘normal’ gym because I knew if I did it on my own without proper technique I’d eventually be back to square one with more injuries. I needed a solution but struggled to find somewhere that I could afford and feel a sense of community. I’m feeling super confident that right now, this is the place where I can get fit and strong again. I’m ready to achieve my fitness goals for 2025!"

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
    Kate Louise

  • "UVSL has completely transformed my body. The education and tips that I have learned from the instructors have been huge and made me see results so much quicker than anything else I tried previously (I even had PTs). Everyone is so friendly and helpful, and truly it is built to move at your own pace."

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
    Lauren Doherty

  • "I absolutely love UVSL. I’ve never been confident with weight training or appreciated how important it is before working with Ellie and the UVSL team. A few months in, and I’m so much stronger—it’s helped my confidence and my strength (I can carry my daughter easily now and run faster and further). Such a great example of how a female-owned and run business shines! Give it a go, it’s the best x"

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
    Drew

  • "Best women’s gym in Melbourne! Great fun, vibe, and sense of community. The workouts are carefully designed, making it easy to push yourself or not, depending on how you feel that day or what fitness level you are. The workouts are not repetitive. Highly recommend!"

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
    Casey Jayne

  • "Could not be happier I joined UVSL. This is the first time I have committed to a gym for a whole year! Ellie and the team have been wonderful. Motivating and helpful in teaching me technique when I was too embarrassed to go to any other gym because of “form.” The workouts are great and keep me coming back each week feeling stronger!"

05. Real Coaching, Real Progress

06. More Than a Gym—This Is Your Space

At UVSL, you come first. Our programs help you prioritise your health and achieve goals you once thought unreachable. Beyond workouts, you’ll find a community of women celebrating wins and lifting each other up. This is your space to thrive.


getting started

  • Not at all! Our workouts are progressive and fully customisable to you, making them perfect for everyone—from complete beginners to experienced lifters.

  • Absolutely—as long as you have medical clearance. Many women come to UVSL to rebuild strength, recover from past injuries, and ease aches and pains they once thought were “just normal.” Our expert coaches will provide regressions, modifications, and personalised guidance to ensure you move safely while getting the most out of your workout.

  • Yes! We’ve supported many women through pregnancy and postpartum recovery. Strength training is not only safe but incredibly beneficial during these stages of life. We’ll tailor movements as needed and ensure you train in a way that feels right for your body.

  • It’s simple! Just fill out the “Book A Call” form on this page, and we’ll be in touch to chat about your goals, experience, and any health considerations. From there, we’ll customise the best plan to help you succeed.

Membership & Programs

  • It depends on your goals.

    • A UVSL Membership gives you access to ongoing progressive strength training and sustainable habit-building.

    • LastStart is a 6-week results-driven program designed to teach you everything you need for fat loss, strength, mindset shifts, and habit transformation. It’s the perfect way to kick off your journey.

  • The difference is structure, guidance, and depth of support.

    A UVSL Membership gives you access to our coached strength training classes. You train alongside the community, follow structured programming, and build strength consistently over time. It’s ideal if you already feel confident showing up, following a program, and managing the rest of your habits independently.

    LastStart, on the other hand, is a six-week guided transformation experience designed for women who want clarity, momentum, and a proven framework for fat loss and long-term change.

    During LastStart, you’re not just attending classes — you’re following a complete blueprint. You’re supported by a dedicated coach, guided step-by-step through nutrition, habits, training, and recovery, and held accountable inside the UVSL+ app with clear tasks, check-ins, and feedback.

    LastStart teaches you how fat loss actually works, how to apply it to your real life, and how to sustain results beyond the six weeks. It’s immersive, intentional, and highly supportive — ideal if you want focused guidance, accountability, and a strong foundation before transitioning into ongoing membership.

    In short:

    • Membership = ongoing training and community

    • LastStart = a structured, coached pathway that teaches you everything you need to succeed

  • You can go straight into membership if you prefer. But those who start with LastStart tend to see greater progress, faster fat loss results, and feel more confident in their training and understanding of how to manage their lifestyle to keep the results they achieve.

UVSL training experience

  • No worries! If we don’t spot it first, just let us know, and your coach will help with adjustments, regressions, or technique modifications so you still get the full benefit of the movement.

  • Every exercise includes a Load Guide with suggested weights for Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced levels—helping you confidently choose the right challenge.

  • You’ll see it, feel it, and track it in UVSL+, our app where you log your lifts and track your improvements. Plus, you’ll notice real-life progress—exercises feeling more natural, movements becoming easier, and your body getting stronger.

  • We’re not just another gym—we’re a women’s-only strength training experience, built for real progress. Every class is scientifically programmed, technique is our top priority, and our UVSL+ app supports you beyond the gym with resources like recipes, technique videos, stabilty training, a thriving community and much more…

  • Yes! Our workouts are structured by time-based blocks like AMRAPs (As Many Rounds As Possible) and EMOMs (Every Minute On The Minute) and many other time-based structures, meaning you work at your own pace with weights that suit you. You’ll get stronger over time without the pressure of keeping up with others.

THE STUDIO & facilities

  • We have three dedicated spaces right out front, plus plenty of free street parking.

  • Yes, we do!

  • Yes—shower facilities are available for your convenience.

  • No—our coaches guide you in real-time. Instead of staring at screens, you’ll have printed workout cards at your station with everything you need: exercises, reps, and load guides. Your coach is always there to support you.

  • Anything you’re comfortable moving in. As a women-only space, wear what makes you feel good—whether that’s a crop top, oversized tee, or full coverage.

  • Around 50 minutes, including warm-up, coaching explanations, and the workout itself.

  • No, you’ll have your own station with clean equipment. At most, you’ll move to a mat nearby, but everything is deliberately structured for maximum results.

MEMBERSHIP & POLICIES

  • 15 minutes early so your coach can walk you through everything, discuss your experience, and answer any questions.

  • A warm, welcoming community. Your coach will introduce you, guide you, and make sure you feel 100% comfortable.

  • You don’t have to be strong to start—but you have to start to get strong. We have women of all experience levels, shapes, and sizes. Wherever you’re at, we’ve got you.

YOUR FIRST CLASS

  • UVSL is for women at every stage of life—from beginners to seasoned lifters, pre-kids, post-partum, peri and post-menopause. The average age is around 40.

  • Our coaches are not only highly certified and experienced, but they’ve also trained through the UVSL Training Academy—learning our specific women-focused methodology. They’re real women who understand strength, training, and YOU.

  • You’ll always feel welcome, seen, and supported. We focus on technique, progress, and community—with in-person guidance, events, and UVSL+, our app that keeps your journey going outside the gym.

  • Yes! You can pause for up to 8 weeks per year (minimum 7-day blocks). To cancel, just contact your studio manager.

  • It’s the other half of your membership. UVSL+ supercharges your results with recipes, technique videos, resources to enhance your health and lifestyle, a private forum, and weight tracking—so you see your strength grow over time.

  • Yes—cancellations within 9 hours of class start time will be charged a $10 Late Cancellation Fee. No-shows are $15.

  • Of course! We love having little ones around. Your kids are welcome to sit in our designated space where they can see you throughout class. We just ask that they remain settled so that everyone can focus on their training—after all, this is your time too!
