Inspire friendships really are the best friendships! From meeting at the studio to becoming friends for life, doing class side-by-side and post-workout catch-ups, everything is better when you have someone to sweat and celebrate with. Which brings us to... 🥁🥁🥁
Our next challenge (we know you've been waiting for it!)
Our Fit Friends Challenge is landing and it's going to be fresh and fun! It's all about bringing the Inspire community together, going to class with your team and a little friendly competition along the way.
All the important details:
When: 5 September – 2 October
Sign up: Get your team of 2 or 4 together and add your name to our in-studio challenge boards, as well as sign up on the Inspire App. If you don't have a group, chat to reception, and we'll get you sorted!
How it works: Each team member works towards 20 classes during the 4 weeks, for a combined effort of 40 or 80 classes. Register on the Inspire App to track your progress to 20 classes! Start together, win together - the idea is you hold each other accountable and cross the finish line as a team!
How to win: Teams of 2 and teams of 4 will compete separately, with a winning team crowned for both through a lucky draw! 🏆
What you're playing for: We’re putting together a seriously good prize pool for our winning teams, with prizes from True Protein, LSKD and more... 🎁
Challenge celebration: We’ll wrap up the challenge on 2 October with an Hour of Power Cycle + Empower Hour Box celebration at 5:30 pm, followed by refreshments and the announcement of our winning teams! 🥂
If there's a friend you've been trying to drag to class forever, this may be their time to shine!
Warm Up Week is coming - Before Fit Friends kicks off, we're giving you a chance to get your team in order! From 29 August - 4 September, new clients can try Inspire for FREE all week long... So if they've been waiting for a sign, this is probably it! 😉
And if they still need some convincing...
We asked some Inspire besties to share what makes their time moving together so special! 🫶🏼
Meet some of our favourite Fit Friends below.
Mackenzie and Tilly
How did you meet?
We have been friends long before we started coming to Inspire. We go to university together and stumbled across Inspire on Instagram, and it was Tilly’s idea to try it! We loved it so much that we came to class 16 times in 14 days. Safe to say, it’s become a bit of an obsession ever since! We’ve now been training at Inspire for over a year, and for us, it’s the perfect combination of a boogie, passionately screaming lyrics, keeping our bodies moving and, of course, finishing with a cute mirror selfie.
What do you love about Inspire?
We absolutely love the energy, music and community at Inspire - it’s what keeps us coming back. It’s honestly the best way to unwind after a long day, switch off and do something just for ourselves, and we always leave feeling refreshed, energised and so glad we made it to class. Our go-to is the signature InspireCycle, but we’ll never pass up a themed ride that has us singing our hearts out, and we also love Strength and the Hour of Power when we really want to feel the burn. One of our most memorable moments has to be when Coach Steph hosted a session with “strippers”, it was so entertaining and had us smiling all the way through!
Why would you recommend Inspire to someone new?
For us, Inspire is so much more than just a place to exercise, it’s a community. We’d recommend it to anyone, whether you’re looking to get fit, meet a new community, take on a fun challenge or complement your current training. The energy the coaches bring to every class pushes us to challenge ourselves, be the best version of ourselves and, most importantly, love ourselves. Inspire is worth every penny and every minute and we absolutely love it!
Describe your Fit Friend in 3 words
Tilly: Adventurous, uplifting and inspiring
Kenz: Determined, tenacious and energetic
Brayden and Delaney
How did you meet?
Delaney was actually working on reception when I first joined Inspire! It wasn’t until we started sitting next to each other almost every morning (Bikes 10 + 11 forever in our hearts) that we really got to know each other.
After a while, Brayden finally broke the ice and we became fast friends both inside and outside the studio. From there, we only really ride next to each other, and that journey has taken us to so many experiences and places together that neither of us could have imagined. 😊
What do you love about Inspire?
For us, Inspire and its community are a safe space for everyone, no matter your ability or your reason for being there. We’re both early morning people with plenty of things to get done, so our favourite classes are the 5:30ams! Some of our most memorable moments are the end-of-year rides, when the energy, and the sweat is something you only experience once a year, followed by a cheeky glass of bubbles, of course!
Why would you recommend Inspire to someone new?
You can find a workout anywhere, but what makes Inspire special is the community and the warm, friendly culture. It’s a place where you can focus and run your own race without judgment or expectation. The people are what make Inspire so special too; through our shared love of cycle, we’ve made so many wonderful connections, lifelong friends and even best friends for life. It’s a place where you can come for any fitness or personal reason, feel supported and welcomed, and find a community that makes you want to keep coming back.
Describe your Fit Friend in 3 words
Brayden: Determined, intelligent and deeply caring
Delaney: Formidable, loyal and vibrant
Melina and Lillie
How did you meet?
We actually met at school and have been besties since Grade 7! We’ve been training together at Inspire since Lillie started in late 2025, and it’s been so much fun having another thing we can do together.
What do you love about Inspire?
We absolutely love being able to train side-by-side in the studio, especially when there’s a themed ride in Cycle for one of our favourite artists! Cycle classes are definitely our favourite thing to do together. One of our most memorable moments was our last cycle class together before Lillie left for Europe, followed by getting matchas from The Woolshed. And of course, watching Lillie win Inspire Bingo was another highlight!
Why would you recommend Inspire to someone new?
We love that Inspire is such a great place to get in the zone, challenge yourself and try all the different classes on offer. The community is so welcoming, and it’s the kind of place where you can bring your friends, meet new people and have fun while working out.
Describe your fit friend in 3 words
Melina: Vibrant, loyal and genuine
Lillie: Unstoppable, silly and adventurous.
Connor, Thomas, Bec and Georgie
How did you meet?
Georgie was the one who convinced us to come to Inspire, promising that it would get better after five sessions. After months of her asking, we finally gave in — and 18 months later, we’re still training together! Safe to say, she was onto something.
What do you love about Inspire?
We love the coaches, the music and the energy! Over time, it’s also been so much fun getting to know more people and seeing familiar faces in every class. For us, every class is such a cathartic experience —whether you’ve had the best day or a terrible one, you’re basically guaranteed to walk out of the cycle studio feeling better.
On the weekends it also gives us an excuse to immediately get delicious coffee and treats afterwards. We love the themed rides too, Emma’s Hot Girl Summer and Rage Ride, Caitlin’s Fred Again and Lady Gaga rides, and Scott’s Heated Rivalry themed ride. They’ve been genuinely spiritual experiences!
Why would you recommend Inspire to someone new?
It’s basically the best nightclub, but for the daytime — you dance, sweat, make friends and leave without a hangover! There’s such a fun and welcoming energy, and you get to challenge yourself while having the best time with your friends. Plus, there’s something pretty addictive about the Hour of Power and those extra 15 minutes of intense exercise (some may say torture!)
Funniest or most memorable Inspire moment?
There have been far too many to choose from! From Steph randomly calling out all the doctors in the sidebar, to our 100th class when Emma said it was “only three songs to weights” and one of our friends immediately responded with, “What the f—?!” 😂 And, of course we won’t ever forget riding an entire class in veils for Emma’s wedding-themed ride! It was equal parts cardio, celebration and questionable vision.
Eilise, Clementine, Emily and Paige
How did you meet?
Clementine + Eilise
We are twins 👯 - and have been coming to Inspire since Cait started coaching back in 2023. Inspire is a space where we can spend quality time together and also where we met Emily and Paige after an InspireBox class. We now go to almost all the same classes, and then afterwards catch-up with a post-class debrief! We’ve been training together since 2024, and Inspire has genuinely become the foundation of our friendship and connection.
What do you love about Inspire?
The social side of Inspire is a huge part of what keeps us coming back. It’s so motivating knowing that everyone around us is putting in the work, but it’s just as nice knowing we can hang out and catch up afterwards. We absolutely love a themed InspireBox on a Wednesday night—the energy is always so high, and there are always familiar faces! We also love a good challenge, especially Cait’s Saturday Circuit, followed by a post-class Woolshed feast (soufflé eggs, IYKYK!). 🍳
Why would you recommend Inspire to someone new?
We have brought soooo many of our friends to Inspire, and we always pitch that it is truly a FUN workout. Inspire is energy-boosting and positively challenging, but also a community that you can genuinely become part of. The coaches are so passionate, supportive and welcoming; the reception team makes everyone feel at home, and the clients are just as friendly—whether it’s your first class or your 500th. Joining Inspire ourselves has been one of the best decisions we’ve made. It’s given us a place to challenge ourselves, have fun, connect with people and, most importantly, meet lifelong friends. 🫶🏼
Funniest or most memorable Inspire moment?
One of our funniest memories has to be the first time Cait made us do breakdancer kick-throughs—we definitely felt a little uncoordinated, but it made for a very memorable class!
And now it’s your turn to find your Fit Friend! 🫶🏼
Mark your calendars, find your Fit Friend and get ready to move, sweat and rack up those points!
