A LEGACY REIMAGINED

For over 35 years, we’ve helped women rise stronger, together.

Formerly Xclusive Female Fitness Club, Hera House continues a legacy that began in the 1980s with Body Shape—founded by Australia’s first female bodybuilder, Carol Graham, to create a space where women could feel strong, supported, and empowered.

Now led by owner Paula, Hera House brings that legacy into a new era—combining community, modern wellness, and women’s fitness in a space inspired by Hera, the Greek goddess of strength and protection.

From the moment you walk through our doors, you’ll be welcomed into a community where you are known, supported, and celebrated.

ABOUT HERA HOUSE
OUR STORY
1980
Where the Legacy Began
Originally founded as Body Shape by Carol Graham and her husband Paul, the club became one of Australia’s pioneering women-only fitness spaces. As Australia’s first female bodybuilder, Carol inspired generations of women to embrace strength, confidence, and fitness in an empowering environment.
2005
A Personal Connection
Long before becoming owner, Paula first walked through the doors as a member—finding not just a gym, but a supportive community that would later become a defining part of her journey.
2013
A New Era
After running her own successful café business for nearly a decade, Paula took over the gym. With a passion for helping women feel confident and supported, she continued to grow the club into a welcoming space for women of all ages and fitness levels.
2026
Hera House
Inspired by Hera, the Greek goddess of strength, family, and protection, Hera House represents the next evolution of the club’s legacy. With upgraded facilities and a continued focus on community, Hera House has been reimagined as a modern sanctuary where every woman can thrive.
