Updated 27 September 2026: Zoo Fit Mandurah is now open, Clarkson has followed, and Port Kennedy and Albany are next. This article was first published on 28 May 2026 when Viva Leisure announced the brand.
Zoo Fit, the value gym brand from ASX-listed Viva Leisure, has opened its second Western Australian club in Mandurah. The club brings 24/7 access, wellness and recovery facilities, a ladies-only training area and a crèche to the Peel region, with memberships from $8.88 a week.
Mandurah follows the brand’s July launch in Wanneroo. A third club in Clarkson is now also open, and Zoo Fit lists Port Kennedy and Albany as opening soon.
What Is Zoo Fit?
Zoo Fit is Viva Leisure’s dedicated value-segment gym brand. It launched in Western Australia in 2026 and is set to expand nationally over the next 12 to 18 months.
The brand sits alongside Viva’s other networks, including Club Lime, Plus Fitness, hiit republic, GROUNDUP, Rebalance and World Gym. It gives the group a low-cost offer to compete with the budget operators that have driven much of the Australian gym market’s growth.
When the brand was announced in May, Viva Leisure CEO Harry Konstantinou said the group saw a clear gap in the WA market.
“WA is one of the strongest growth opportunities in the country for fitness, and we saw a clear gap in the market for a genuinely value-led offering that doesn’t compromise on experience,” Mr Konstantinou said.
“Zoo Fit becomes the missing piece in our portfolio strategy and allows us to serve a broader cross-section of the market.”

Earlier announcements also named Butler, Kennedy Park and Forrestdale as planned sites.
| Membership | Price | What's included |
|---|---|---|

There is no joining fee and no lock-in contract, and memberships are billed fortnightly. At the time of writing, new members receive eight weeks free. Founding members at the launch clubs also locked in their membership price for life.
Inside Zoo Fit Mandurah
Zoo Fit Mandurah offers members:
- 24/7 gym access
- Brand-new equipment and dedicated training spaces
- Premium wellness and recovery facilities, including saunas
- Crèche facilities
- A ladies-only training area
Zoo Fit Senior General Manager Ross Sutherland said the brand was designed to make premium facilities accessible at an affordable price.
“People shouldn’t have to choose between an affordable gym membership and access to great facilities,” Mr Sutherland said.
“At Zoo Fit, we’re bringing together quality equipment, dedicated training areas and features like saunas, recovery spaces, ladies-only training and crèche facilities at a price that works for more people.
“We’ve had a fantastic response since launching Zoo Fit in Western Australia and we’re excited to bring our new health and wellness offering to the Mandurah community.”
Fit Fam: a family membership at a budget price
The Fit Fam membership covers two adults and two teenagers aged 13 to 17 from $24.88 a week. Viva described it at launch as a product not seen before in the Australian fitness industry.
It targets households that often fall through the gaps of single-member pricing. For teen members, it also creates a pathway into gym training under parental supervision.
Inside Zoo Fit Mandurah
Ahead of the WA launch, Viva Leisure signed a three-year partnership with the Fremantle Football Club across its AFL and AFLW programs. The deal includes Optus Stadium branding and fan activations for members and supporters.
The partnership gives a brand-new name instant visibility with a large WA audience. Dockers tickets were among the prizes on offer at the Mandurah open day.
What Zoo Fit means for the fitness industry
Zoo Fit’s first months show how quickly a well-capitalised operator can build a presence in a new market. Three clubs are open and two more are listed within roughly three months of the first launch.
For gym owners, three things stand out:
- Value no longer means basic. Saunas, recovery spaces, crèche and ladies-only zones at under $15 a week raise what members expect at every price point.
- Clustering builds brand fast. Opening several clubs in one region, with multi-club access, makes a new brand feel established quickly.
- Families are an underserved segment. Bundled household pricing is an easy win that many independents do not yet offer.
Independent and mid-market operators in WA should expect more price pressure. Clear points of difference, such as coaching, community and specialist programming, matter more than ever.
