About
Gym History
In December 1991, Church St Health and Fitness began operating as a boutique studio for the bayside suburbs of Melbourne with one of its foundation staff members, Robert Di Pastena.
Paul Kinghorn and Mark Greene in 1994 headed the business and developed a strong club experience, seeing personal training sessions become a popular form of exercise delivery as well as group training such as circuit classes.
1998 saw the Club take a change that would set the course for years to come with Dean Gleeson, Greg Moody and David Sierakowski taking over the business.
In recent times Anthony Ciconte has been welcomed into the partnership providing business leadership and fresh energy. Throughout the 20 years of operation thousands of members have been well catered for in pursuing their optimum fitness.
