AHERN FITNESS

ABOUT AHERN FITNESS
A Unique Approach to Health and Wellbeing
A’Hern Fitness is a boutique studio founded by triple Olympian and dual Commonwealth Games Gold Medalist Nick A’Hern and his wife Jennifer. For 25 years, the studio has been a welcoming haven for clients who value privacy—no more than seven people work out at once—ensuring a calm, focused environment.
Programs are individually tailored, drawing on Nick’s elite sports experience to help clients with both specialised training and broader wellbeing goals like stress management and health maintenance. Nick and Jennifer handpick their trainers for both skill and personality, carefully matching staff to clients, which has fostered both long-term staff loyalty and strong client relationships.
The studio prides itself on exceeding expectations and creating a friendly atmosphere where every member feels supported. Many clients join and rarely leave, a testament to the genuine care and commitment that define A’Hern Fitness.

Meticulous attention is given to cleanliness and hygiene, so you can always feel safe and at ease. Our team is dedicated to providing professional care with a personable touch, ensuring your comfort is at the heart of everything we do.

PERSONAL TRAININGÂ STUDIO PACKAGES
Make the change to a healthier you today
At A’Hern Fitness, we design training packages that are tailored to your lifestyle, so exercise fits seamlessly into your daily routine.
​
We start every journey with a thorough consultation, listening to your goals—whether it’s gaining strength, boosting energy, managing weight, recovering from injury, or simply moving better and feeling healthier. Our focus is on functional exercises that support real-world activity, making every movement beneficial, as well to support your overall wellbeing.
​
Our trainers aren’t just instructors; they’re mentors, planners, and motivators.
The relationship between trainer and client is at the heart of what we do. Our trainers act as your mentors, partners, and biggest supporters, guiding you every step of the way. We don’t just demonstrate exercises; we plan your path, keep you accountable, and celebrate each milestone you reach. You’ll never feel like just another face in the gym—our community is tight-knit and welcoming, ensuring you always have a source of encouragement.
They’ll track your progress, adapt your sessions as you advance, and offer constant support. We create a welcoming environment, where you’ll find encouragement and community from day one.
​
Consistency is the key to lasting change
That’s why we offer regular checks, dedicated recurring appointment times with your dedicated trainer with ongoing guidance, so you can build exercise into your routine and make it a valued habit. Our packages are flexible, with choices of 4, 10, or 20 sessions, and the more you commit, the lower the rate per session. Each session is focused and effective at 30 minutes, and you’re welcome to arrive early for your own cardio and warm-up.
​
We provide everything you need to make your visits convenient and enjoyable—on-site free parking, a boutique atmosphere, fresh workout and shower towels, and Canberra’s only private outdoor PT playground. Train solo or with a friend, with options for one-on-one or double sessions that fit your budget and schedule.
​
For those with unpredictable timetables, we offer customised packages with monthly or casual arrangements. Whatever your needs, our trainers will work with you to create a plan that fits. We believe everyone deserves the opportunity to be strong, confident, and healthy, and we’re dedicated to supporting you every step of the way.
​
If you’re looking for a reason to make exercise part of your life, a consultation with A’Hern Fitness can help you clarify your goals and set you on the right path. Discover the difference that expert, personalised training can make—change starts with a single step, and with us, you’ll never walk alone.

ONLINE/ HOME PROGRAMS
Want to stay healthy and fit but can't get to the studio? Not sure how to make the most of your gym?
We recognise that regular personal training may not suit everyone’s budget and that many people prefer alternatives to traditional gym settings.
So, If you prefer to train at home or have your own gym set up , or if you have a membership at your local, we can assist you by providing personalized home or gym.
This allows you to maintain your fitness, strength, and conditioning in a way that fits your lifestyle.
​
We can tailor the program to your specific circumstances, equipment, and schedule.
Many of our clients find success with an initial personal training session, followed by a take-home online program, and monthly PT sessions, including program upgrades and check-ins.
We're happy to customize everything to meet your needs.

CLIENT REVIEWS
RATED IN THE TOP 5 PT STUDIOS IN CANBERRA (BY CANBERRA WEEKLY JUNE 2023)
A’Hern Fitness was exactly what I was looking for when returning to Canberra after a few years living overseas. The personalised service, which is both highly professional and friendly, has helped me meet my goals while enjoying my sessions! I like the careful thought the trainers put into each session and the fact they listen to your needs and goals and work with you to meet them. I also like the way the trainers work together to share the space. To be part of A’Hern Fitness is to be part of a family. - Yvonne
​
Ahern's Fitness has been a game changer for me in staying consistent with exercise year-round. My mobility, strength, and cardio fitness are the best they’ve ever been. Nick and Jennifer create a welcoming atmosphere in a well-equipped, spotless studio, and their client-focused training and support are second to none. I also value their strong links with health professionals who help manage the inevitable aches and niggles of aging.- Helen
​
I have been training with a partner twice weekly at A’hern for several years. I value the support given by the trainers and the challenges built into the programs. I am a retired senior person who needs to keep fit for multiple reasons. Trainers are cheerful and tailor the program for my needs. If I sometimes feel muscles ache after a session I know it is because of the challenges in the programs. The gym is always neat and clean - Rieteke
​
I’ve been with the A’Hern Fitness team since 2018 and love it. The studio’s always clean, welcoming, and never packed. The one-on-one training gets results, and every trainer I’ve worked with has been awesome. I’d recommend them to anyone, no matter where you’re at in your fitness journey. Alex
​
From the very start of the year, joining A'Hern Fitness has been a transformative experience for me. The positive impact on my health and wellbeing cannot be overstated—this gym has genuinely been instrumental in getting me back on track and helping me find renewed motivation.
I would like to extend a special thank you to the trainers who have guided and encouraged me along this journey: Yuji, John, Tom, Zahra, and Keira. Their expertise, patience, and unwavering support have played a huge role in my progress, and I am grateful for the unique strengths each of them brings to the team.
I also want to express my appreciation for Jen and Nick, whose efforts in fostering an inclusive and encouraging culture have made A'Hern Fitness a place where people of all fitness levels can thrive. Their dedication to creating a welcoming environment empowers everyone to do their best, regardless of where they are on their fitness journey.
Looking ahead, I am excited to continue my journey with the entire team and look forward to achieving new goals together after a temporary break. Thank you all for the commitment, passion, and outstanding service you provide—it truly makes a difference. I wish you continued success and hope you keep doing what you do, in the way only you can, as a collective. -Jorawar
Four and a half years ago I was too scared to step foot into a sporting goods store, let alone a gym, because I felt too out of place in those spaces.
I looked online for a PT and trawled through several websites before landing on A'Hern. I reached out to Jen who instantly made me feel at ease and considerably less anxious! I've been a client of the gym ever since. I feel stronger, healthier and no longer insecure about engaging in fitness spaces. Jen and the team have certainly changed my life for the better. - Cath
