Hmm... Fitness. Bending. Core. Touching my toes. All things that I'm not overly in tune with/good…read moreat. But I am trying, I'm trying hard to make fitness a thing that is an active (get it) part of my life, rather than something I scoff and try to avoid. I went to Barre Body with a colleague of mine when they were in town. She's pretty into her fitness and I agreed to go with her. Colleague solidarity and all.... OK, so I sound super pessimistic, when in fact, it was great. I really enjoyed it. It's a beautiful, calm space. We were two of four taking part in the class so I didn't feel silly for totally not being able to do certain things. The class was hard and involved a variety of resistance, stretching and strength based movements. There were also heaps of options for you to up it or pull it down dependant on your ability, which I think for this kind of fitness. From simple stretches to balancing, to weights to pull ups from the floor (haha - no), I loved the mix of the ballet/pilates/yoga style movements. There were points where I was laughing, mainly because I don't have the ability to do something yet, but I didn't feel like I was putting people off, I felt really supported, especially by the instructor. I will be trying it again (shock horror, I know) and hopefully, I will be in less pain for less time here therein. Seeing I felt damn good afterwards and that out wayed the muscle pain I felt over the following days, I feel I owe it to myself (and the studio) to give it another go.

Barre Body is a welcome addition to Brisbane, bringing their fun and dynamic classes to the…read moresunshine state. I've been to dozens of their classes in Melbourne and a few in Sydney so it was great to see them also offering classes in Brisbane during a recent work trip. As is the case in all of their other studios, the design is lovely with lots of light and nice touches like freshly brewed tea and scented candles. The teachers are friendly and make newbies feel welcome while also challenging those who come regularly. Book classes on line and on their app - it's super easy.

Best Botanical Garden I have ever had the pleasure of going to! And I've been to many…read more This place is pristine. The gardens are beautiful, there are a lot of signs for species names, lots of interesting trees and it would take a long time to see the whole place. The restaurant there is also very good. I absolutely loved this place and if I lived locally I'd be there as often as I could. They have so many different Bracychiton! I never knew there were so many different ones. Lots of Banyans, Ficus, Baobabs. If you are a tree lover like me, then forget the City Botanical Garden and head straight here. I had been to the City one earlier today and wished I had gone here first and spent the whole day there. There are lots of BIG lizards around. And spider webs! The are small lakes/ponds. There's a rain forest section. Check out their website for more info. It's free to get in as well. I cannot say enough good things about this place.

Awesome. Just awesome…read more Anchor offer boot camps, yoga and PT. Their boot camps are great because they are as tough as you want them to be - so they are perfect for the absolute beginner and for those who are already really fit. The trainers are all really great and never forget a name so it's a great environment. I've also seen they offer more specialised training when it gets close to an obstacle course being run in Brisbane - sounds like great fun but I would rather be in bed so I leave that for others. But it sounds great :) Definitely recommended.

There is plenty of education and training for the new shooter so the licensing process is well managed. Club competitions run day and night and include multiple variations of the following disciplines, Pistol/revolver, Rifle, Shotgun, Cannon, Black Powder, Axe Throwing and Indoor Air Pistol. The SSAA is all about safety and training so general public costs for casual visits is not very expensive. Basic annual membership is approximately $90 per year. I can shoot an evening .22 handgun competition for as little as $5.50 That's cheaper than a beer! Kids over 11 years old can shoot under supervision. Awesome fun!!!

Of course the quiet factor depends on the time of day - I haven't managed to perfect my knowledge of exactly when lap pools are at their busiest, but I've never had to share a lane with more than one person here. There's not much in the way of kid's entertainment except for a small paddle pool, but if you're kid free and enjoy a comparably peaceful lap swim this is a great place to go.
