Nikki Boxfit, operates a private, appointment-only fitness service at her home in Connells Point. She supports women — including Muslim women, trauma survivors, and older adults — who feel unsafe or unwelcome in commercial gyms. Her studio is quiet, respectful, and has minimal impact on the neighbourhood.

Georges River Council has issued a proposed order to shut down this essential service. We believe this is unfair and unnecessary. Nikki Boxfit provides inclusive, culturally sensitive support to women who need a safe space to train.

We urge Council to reconsider and work with Nicole to find a reasonable, compliant way for her to continue operating. This service changes lives — and must be protected.
