Next Gen Memorial Drive

Next Gen Memorial Drive is a broad health and lifestyle club in North Adelaide, beside the River Torrens and close to Adelaide Oval. For Adelaide CBD residents, it offers more than a conventional gym, bringing training, swimming, racquet sports, recovery and social spaces together at one location. The facilities include a fully equipped gym with cardio, resistance and functional training areas, dedicated stretching and recovery zones, an altitude training studio, personal training and gym instructors who can help members build and maintain a routine.

There is plenty of choice for people who prefer structured sessions or a more independent workout. The club runs more than 100 group fitness classes each week, with options including yoga, Pilates, dance, cycling, HIIT, strength and conditioning, and aqua aerobics. Members can also use a heated 25-metre indoor pool, a 25-metre outdoor pool, spa, sauna and steam room. These spaces are intended for swimming, relaxation and post-training recovery, giving the club a practical appeal for people who want fitness and wellbeing facilities in the same place.

Racquet sports are a significant part of the offering, with 27 outdoor tennis courts across a range of surfaces and four glass-backed squash courts. Tennis coaching, social play and match play are available, with professional coaches offering lessons for children and adults at different skill levels. Away from the training areas, the club has a licensed café, members’ lounge, workstations and spaces for working from the club, as well as member social events. The overall setting is spacious and resort-inspired, with the site describing an emphasis on community and social connection.

Families are particularly well catered for through a staffed crèche for children aged three months to five years, childminding services and activities including learn-to-swim, holiday and after-school programs, kids’ fitness classes and tennis coaching. Individual and family membership options are available, and the complimentary Next Step program provides a personal training session, body composition scan, personalised planning and small-group workshops to help new members get started. With tours available before joining, the club could suit beginners, experienced gym users, swimmers, tennis players, families and people looking for a more social approach to staying active.
