WELCOME TO KITCHENGYM

TRAIN WITH US

Can’t cook? Train with us. We teach beginners and home cooks how to feed themselves and the people they love.

WE'VE GONE MOBILE!

From September 2026, we’ve gone mobile! KitchenGym is now offering classes in your home or workplace.

We’re fully booked already up until November 2026 – to book future dates please get in touch.

WHAT IS KITCHENGYM?

Just like a regular gym where you learn and practice, KitchenGym teaches you the skills you need to cook for yourself and the people you love AND we do it in YOUR home.

We travel up to 40km from the Brisbane CBD to workplaces or private homes.

It’s perfect for:

Beginners who have no skills in the kitchen
Home cooks who want to learn more techniques, or expand their range of dishes
Intermediate home cooks who are looking to expand their food knowledge
Couples who want to learn to cook each other’s favourite meals
Families who want to learn to cook together

Since KitchenGym opened in 2024, we’ve welcomed retirees who finally have the time to learn how to cook, teenagers preparing for leaving home and people who just want to feed themselves and the people they love.

Under the guidance of Cordon Bleu-trained chef Sally Newman, you’ll be taught valuable skills in the kitchen that you can use everyday to feed yourself and your family.

WHY SHOULD I LEARN HOW TO COOK?

Knowing how to cook opens up a world of possibilities as you create delicious meals for you and your family:

Saving you money on takeaways and eating out
Improving your diet and health, by knowing exactly what your meals contain
Teaching you valuable skills and techniques in the kitchen
No more food box subscriptions with lots of plastic waste
Plus it’s fun!

WHAT CAN I EXPECT TO LEARN?

There really is no end to the skills you can learn. From knife skills to making stocks and sauces, curries, stews, stir fries, desserts – and much more!

We don’t follow recipes.

While we do cook specific dishes, we also focus on techniques that you can then apply to a whole range of dishes, expanding your culinary offerings beyond just your ‘signature dish’.

We teach you how to best use your kitchen and equipment

We teach you with what you already have, so you can learn the best and most efficient way to move in your kitchen. We can also supply specialist equipment for you to try: for example, a Thermomix, ice cream machine, air fryer, dehydrator and more. We help you clean efficiently and together we will leave your kitchen sparkling.

We give you a list of ingredients and equipment in advance

We send recipes, ingredient lists and equipment lists in advance, and we can help you with ordering so that the ingredients are at your home when we arrive.

Classes can be tailored to you

Perhaps you’d like to start with the absolute basics, or master an advanced technique. We have a huge library of tried and tested recipes from beginner to intermediate levels. If you want to try something special, we can work with you craft a class that suits your needs perfectly.

PRICING

Prices are from $165 per class (incl GST if any), using our recipes for our standard classes, and discounts may be available for regular bookings and for couple, group and family bookings. Our meal prep classes start at $198 per class. We give you an ingredients list in advance so you can order food to arrive when we do, and we can help you source hard to find ingredients and can provide specialist equipment if needed. We can tailor special classes for an extra fee. All prices are plus travel if applicable.

Had a very enjoyable class with Sally and her team last Saturday. We whizzed through three workstations learning 3 cooking skills that I will use again! The whole team was professional and friendly and their enjoyment in teaching people what they know was lovely to be a part of. Highly recommend these classes to all.

I attended one of Head Chef Sally's Come and Try sessions yesterday and had an absolutely wonderful time learning new things about cooking. The session was informative, easy to follow and the best thing was that we got to take home our delicious food. All of the Chefs were so helpful. The atmosphere was light and fun and I went away with food knowledge that I can incorporate into my everyday. Highly recommend learning from Chef Sally

We recently held our team-building event at Kitchen Gym and were thoroughly impressed with the experience. Chef Sally designed an interactive program that encouraged collaboration, communication, and creativity, making it an excellent setting for strengthening our team dynamics outside the office. The highlight of the session was the dessert competition, which brought out everyone’s competitive spirit in a light-hearted and engaging way. It was the perfect balance of fun and challenge, with every participant contributing to their team’s effort. Kitchen Gym provided a professional, well-organised environment where our team could bond, learn, and enjoy a memorable experience together. We would highly recommend it to any organisation looking for a unique and effective team-building activity.
