Brisbane Boxing has two locations: West End and Mt Gravatt. The West End location is my local. I…read morehonestly hate exercising first thing in the morning but it has become more and more apparent that it's the only time I can definitely commit to doing it, so I go to the morning classes as often as I can. Warm and friendly trainers, good equipment, you can use the gloves until you feel committed enough to purchase your own. Pretty accessible timetable and not too pricey. It absolutely slams me every single session. I am pretty introverted in crowds of beautiful, fit people, so I feel really anxious about going on my own. But I still do it and generally don't lose my cool about being shown up by all the really really ridiculously good looking people. The majority of the classes in the timetable are geared towards fitness (cardio box classes) and are for beginners through to advanced as they are predominantly drill based. I like the fact that it is for everybody! I also have a pesky foot injury that impedes my ability to run with weights (yeah fancy that!) but luckily they've been accommodating of that for me as well. I'm writing this review right now because I am looking forward to hitting the 7am session tomorrow morning! Maybe see you there.

This amazing place is in 3 locations now! West End, Mt Gravatt and Bulimba! I can tell you one…read morething... Once you start coming to Brisbane Boxing, its hard to stop! I have joined regular gyms so many times (that I've lost count) and the most I have lasted is 3 months and I stop going completely! I started going by myself to Brisbane Boxing Mt Gravatt last year July 2013 and it has changed my life! I am also addicted much like others who have been going, it has been a year now and I am still a regular attendee (min 4 days a week to 6 days a week). I have made ridiculously great friendships with lots of people. I cant tell you how energetic and fun the atmosphere is at this gym. Owners and BBox staff and regulars are friendly and full of energy.... Its like being part of an extended family, everyone is welcoming. It is very easy to make new friends and at the same time, get fit, enjoy getting fit and learn new boxing skills. Team is very supportive as well! I have old ankle injuries that come back out every now and then during workouts so at times I am unable to perform certain exercises (eg. jumping or anything that causes strain on my ankle) Trainers are really helpful and accomodating to injuries and especially if you are new and you let the training know before class they will support you all the way - you get your monies worth, it is a very unique environment to train in. Brisbane Boxing offer alot of sessions throughout all 3 gym locations (both AM and PM classes) its a variety so it keeps you interested and challenges you. Lots of people think this is a gym only for people who want to train and become boxers, its actually a place where regular people of all shapes, sizes, ages and fitness levels can come and enjoy a good hard/challenging workout, make new friends along the way. I hope you all come and check out the gym sometime it is a very happy place to be at after a hard day at work. Looking forward to seeing you all there :)

Smash. Drop. Short. Shuttle. Net. High Clear…read more If these words are words that you get, you obviously play badminton. In the south west suburb of Jindalee, badminton lovers gather twice a week, once on Wednesday night at 7-10pm and again on Sunday afternoon 2-5pm. Cost is $5 if you are a member ($35 to join as a member) and $10 for a non-member. This is by far the most social sports club I have ever been to. Everyone is friendly, not competitive and very welcoming to new people. In fact, new people are encouraged! A rostering system on a white board to ensure that everyone plays with everyone. It's a social club, so even a new person can play with someone who is a seasoned player... even learn a thing or two! I like the fact that people don't create their own games here, the experts play with beginners, and vice versa. There is always a good conversation happening when you're waiting for a game. Definetely come and check Majestic Badminton out. New courts and new floors after the flood as well, so come support the local club!

Sifu Mark is an excellent instructor. If you want to be taught traditional Ving Tsun like Bruce Lee…read moreand others learned, you probably won't find any other school in Brisbane (that I am aware of) who teaches the pure form as taught by Grandmaster Victor Kan himself. I am impressed with Sifu Mark's attention to detail he is able to see if your aim is off by even a couple of inches. The classes are small and personal and you never feel like just another number like I have at other places.

I did Taekwondo at Zentro Academy for 3 years, and started at 7 years old. They have a huge open…read morespace, decent equipment and includes classes for ages 5+. The teacher Gabriel (6th Dan) is a good mentor, however if you ever stop doing Zentro, he insults you (chicken, wuss, etc) and laughs at you behind your back to the other students. The academy teaches 3 Korean martial arts: Taekwondo, Hapkido, and Kundo. The pricing is decent with ranging from $64 a month for one class a week to $124 a month for unlimited classes. However when you do gradings (moving up a belt) you have to pay a fee for your belt before the grading, this also means that you always move up no matter how good you are in the grading (or so i have seen on the website and at gradings) My final verdict: This is a decent martial arts studio with a good teacher, that has a good price, but it isn't one of those places where you actually get graded on how good you are, you get graded on your experience. So yeah the place is good.

I have tried out almost all of the barre classes in Brisbane and Xtend Barre is definitely the…read morebest. Located in Stones corner there is a few parking spots on sight or there is parking at the Aldi shops for two hours free. Shay, the owner a former Moulin Rouge dancer, is welcoming and helpful with any questions you may have anoint the studio, classes and techniques. All of the teachers are so helpful and many learn your name with in a class or two. Classes run for 55 mins and there are a variety of levels of classes as well as students into the classes. While the classes basically run the same no two classes are alike. A great workout that definitely will make you sweat but also make you gain long lean muscles.

If you like throwing a racquet around, I suggest paying a visit to West Brisbane Tennis. Nestled in…read morethe industrial suburb of Richlands, this tennis court club attracts a lot of social tennis players. It's around $12 per hour during the day to hire a court, or $15 per hour after 5pm. They are opened till quite late which allows for more playing time. The customer service here is really good. They are nice and friendly staff who work here. Happy to assist and great to exchange tennis stories with. I haven't enrolled in any lessons, however, it does seem tempting. Their prices for professional tennis coaching are quite reasonable given the experience and history this tennis club has. For any adult for 5 lessons would cost $100. Each lesson taking an hour long. You can hire BBQ's and make a day of it here. There is plenty of space for kids to run a much and great courts for the parents to play on. Definitely a favourite tennis court to hire on weekends.

Bayside PCYC is an icon around Wynnum, Manly and Lota - in fact, the trampoline program is so good,…read moresome families bring their kids from many kilometres away to train, perhaps hoping they'll follow in the footsteps of several world and Olympic class trampers who've graduated from here. The prices are great for tramp and gymnastics classes, as well as a range of martial arts classes and gym workouts. One of the biggest programs is the before and after school and vacation care service. There's squash and a therapy pool too. I like the gym; it's one of the most inexspensive ways to access a good range of gym equipment - check out your local.

Overall it seems like a great place for kids to learn and in a slightly healthy social environment…read more They definitely do need someone to man the phones or maybe try this thing called a cordless they can carry around with them. Squash courts are pricey and the one court was covered in puddles, last time I checked that isn't good for the wood. Otherwise good job keeping a community based centre open and running.

I'm surprised that no one has reviewed Go at Carindale yet!…read more I come over to the dark side about once a fortnight to do some weekend classes (Matt's Sh'Bam and Thiago's Balance classes are brilliant!) and I am really happy to say that this club is just as awesome as the Nundah club. Excellent group fitness timetable with great instructors. They have all my favourites (Sh'Bam, Bodyjam, Attack, Balance etc) and their Go Girl Room is huge. Just be careful in the ladies bathroom - I do not know how many times I have walked into the mirrored wall!! :)
