OUR STORY
Welcome to Ground Up Fitness: The first and best group fitness gym in the Barossa!
​
Everyone knows that fitness is good for you. But at Ground Up Fitness, we make it fun — we use a combination of strength and conditioning methods to increase your health and fitness, with fully programmed and coached group classes, in a friendly, fun and supportive community. We welcome all people of all ages, shapes, sizes and fitness levels and are passionate about making fitness accessible, achievable and inclusive of everyone. With our different classes and constantly varied workouts, you'll never get bored!
​
You'll get fitter, stronger and faster, and walk away from every class with a sense of accomplishment and pride. On top of that, you'll find a community of people who are here to build each other up and support each other, and we think that's pretty special.
​
We understand that getting started can be scary or intimidating- everyone might seem so fit or strong, but we certainly didn't all start that way! Our classes are designed to be completely modifiable, so that a beginner can do it, and so can the fittest and strongest- we just scale it to your level! We also start those who are new to the gym or this style of training off with a Foundation Month, where you do 2 FREE PT sessions to learn the basics, and get comfortable within the gym and with the lifts.
​
Please contact us by phone on 0423901720, through the contact page, or on our socials if you're a local interested in joining, and we will hook you up with a no obligation free trial class!
ABOUT US
Hasely and Miranda Mcilwraith - Owners
Hi, we're husband and wife team Hasely and Miranda Mcilwraith, or Ran and Hase. Between us we have over 20 years experience in the fitness industry, and we love helping everyday folks become the happiest and healthiest versions of themselves. We originally hail from the Gold Coast but decided to call the Barossa home, in large part because of the community here at Ground Up. When we're not at the gym, working or training, you'll usually find us with our 5 kids, pottering in our garden or cooking something up in the kitchen.
OUR CLASSES
Something for Everyone!
FIT
Combining weights and conditioning, build your strength and increase your fitness in our FITÂ classes. Most sessions include a dedicated strength component, and a short, sharp workout afterwards.
SWEAT
Getting the heart rate up and getting sweaty is the aim of our SWEAT classes! Mix it up, keep it fun!
SWEATÂ classes are generally less technical in nature so all your energy can go into getting the work done fast!
LIFT
No cardio here! LIFTÂ is about just that: Lifting and making gaiinnnzzzz!!
Side note: you don't have to "be strong" to take our LIFTÂ classes ... but doing them will help you get stronger AND improve technique!
