Haven Inner West - Body Positive Fitness & Yoga Studio - Summer Hill (NSW)

5 /5 Tiffany Muirhead: Haven Wellness really is a haven of body positivity for female-identifying bodies of all sizes and abilities. I started with Anna and the team before COVID, I took a little hiatus, and came back because its such a great place to move my body. To be in a female body living with disordered eating and a history of body issues, its a joy to move my body in a space free from judgy looks, rude opinions, inaccurate information about exercise, trainers who dont consider female bodies, diet talks, and harassment. The best bit is... there are no mirrors! Ever been to a gym with no mirrors? Its a joy! All female-identifying bodies are truly welcome at Haven Wellness. You can wear size 38 clothes, be non-binary, gender fluid, gay, trans-female, bisexual, blind, deaf, in pain every day, introvert or have a physical disability. You are welcome even if you have never moved your body, a history of trauma, are in peri/menopause, know nothing about exercise, have an eating disorder, multiple mental health issues, ADHD, sensory challenges, POCS, endometriosis, and are recovering from injuries. I know I sound like an info-mercial, but it truly is a safe space for women to feel joy moving your body.

5 /5 Louise Yates: Haven gym is such a great place, fabulous community, amazing trainers, a wide range of classes and exercise types to suit your mood and what brings you joy. As soon as you walk in, the space is just so welcoming and positive, and I always look forward to going there.

5 /5 Sunny: This place is really special! I’ve been a member of Haven Wellness since I moved to Sydney almost 2 years ago. Anna and the coaches have gone so above and beyond to make group classes accessible for me. Every single class, I feel so safe and supported which has empowered me to feel more confident exercising. It’s been so healing for me being apart of this community!

5 /5 Deanna Rowe: I absolutely love Haven. Its full of warmth, welcoming positivity and good vibes. It definitely doesnt feel like a "regular gym" and there are no scales, mirrors or weight loss plans. It celebrates bodies in all shapes and sizes, in all their abilities and strengths. I am so glad we have a place like this, it truly feels like a Haven. Thank you Anna for creating this space!

5 /5 Poppy Burnett: Haven is a wonderful antidote to competitive, pumpy gym culture. It’s a beautiful calm space and all the trainers are super lovely and skilled. It’s so nice being in an actively non-judgmental and non-diet culture space. They were also really great and flexible when I had an injury, with a membership pause then supporting with rehab and exercises.
