THE ZONE DIFFERENCE
Zone 123 was established in 2018 by Co-Owner and Operator Chris Turner. Chris recognised the need to create a supportive friendly local gym, that drew on the latest research in the health and fitness industry, and delivered to clients a new style of workout.
The first gym was established in Maroochydore, Queensland and services the areas of Maroochydore, Buderim, Sippy Downs and Mountain Creek. Riley Stewart joined the ownership team in 2019 and brought to the gym a wealth of experience and development and an unparalleled enthusiasm for taking the fitness centre to new heights.
The wide-open workout space allows members to capitalise on their time in the gym, without machine restrictions, under the supervision of a professional at all times. Our gym is big on community, and our number one focus is providing a safe, supporting and fun environment that gives members the full benefits of a workout – not just physical, but mental and emotional too.
Our fitness membership packages offer fantastic value for money and drive the results they promise. Zone 123 is the future, with new gyms opening soon.
