Red Shedder – FAQs

On the 7th April 2026 our existing Pro and Hobbyist contracts will no longer be available to use or purchase. In their place are Red Shedder options, bringing a tiered structure to our Red Shed Contracts. Designed to inspire wellness and foster community, these options give our community the choice to mix service offerings from Rowing, Gym (RSX Strength Club) and Recovery to support overall health and fitness. The new structure will give our Red Shed community the chance to connect with all the Red Shed services — flexible, holistic and weather friendly options, providing Red Shedders with more value and opportunity to maximise training and recovery goals.

Platinum
Our platinum offering gives Red Shedders the flexibility to immerse themselves in all things Red Shed with unlimited sessions per week across Rowing, RSX Strength Club and Recovery, this option gives you access to all! $119 per week (minimum term 12 weeks).

Gold
Existing Pro contracts will be automatically moved across to our Gold option, with 5 classes combined per week across Rowing, RSX Strength Club and Recovery. This option gives our community the flexibility to choose the combination of classes to best fit individual training needs. In addition, Gold also includes unlimited Recovery sessions. $99 per week (minimum term 12 weeks).

Silver
A new offering for Red Shedders, our Silver option gives members the choice of 3 classes each week across Rowing, RSX Strength Club and/or Recovery. Whether you choose to immerse yourself in only one area of Red Shed or balance your week across all three of our service offerings — the choice is yours! $69 per week (minimum term 12 weeks).

Bronze
Existing Hobbyist contracts will be automatically moved across to our Bronze option, with 2 classes per week across Rowing, RSX Strength Club and Recovery. This option gives Red Shedders the flexibility to choose the two classes that best fit individual training needs. $55 per week (minimum term 12 weeks).

Red Shed Recovery encourages a holistic approach to health and fitness, providing the opportunity for rest, relief and recovery for overall wellness. $45 per week (minimum term 12 weeks).

BMRC Rowing Club Partner
The Black Mountain Rowing Club (BMRC) is a foundational partner of Red Shed, and their boats are stored in two of the Red Shed Boat Bays. This Red Shedder option gives BMRC members the opportunity to have easy access to Red Shed facilities, showers, bathrooms, towel service and locker room (separate to BMRC annual fees that are managed by BMRC directly).
