FAQs

Do I need a site induction?

Yes, you will need to complete a new induction as Balaclava Platinum has 24/7 facilities, different facilities, multi level layout and the location of essential emergency information has changed.

Will the hours be different from the St Kilda gym?

Yes, the staffed hours will change from what was previously available at St Kilda. However, Balaclava is a 24/7 gym so you have the option to train any time of the day, once you have completed your 24/7 safety induction.
