Think you can beat the world record for longest held wall squat? Put your quads to the test in our June Gym Challenge!
Gym challenges are back to keep you motivated every month with awesome prizes and giveaways.
Wall squats are an amazing leg exercise that work one of the biggest muscles in your body, your quads! They also strengthen and tone your calves, hamstrings, glutes and core, and help to prevent runner's knee.
We'll be awarding a free month of membership to the male and female winner at each centre! Check out all the event details at Richmond, Collingwood and Fitzroy.
Do you work or study at a desk?
These workouts were made for you!
We recently teamed up with Yarra City Council to produce some instructional videos designed to help you though your working day.
Start with the 5 minute easy morning warm up and use the 3 minute simple stretch routine periodically throughout the day.
Both workouts target your whole body to relieve tension while improving your flexibility and energy levels. They can be performed anywhere, no equipment needed. Save them to your favourites so they're ready for you every morning!
School holiday program bookings now open
What's on these holidays?! Bookings are now open for our Learn to Swim School Holiday Program. Over five days of swimming fun we'll fast track your child's progress while improving their confidence and water safety skills.
The course involves one lesson per day from July 2-6 and will be held at Richmond Recreation Centre and Collingwood Leisure Centre. Places are limited, so book at reception today!
Burnley's complete video guide is now yours
If you follow us on social you might have seen Michelle's hole-by-hole guide of Burnley Golf Course. We've now released the entire playlist on YouTube, full of handy tricks and tips to get you through each stage of the course.
Save it to your favourites so it's on hand for when you need a bit of advice on that tricky 9th hole. It's like having a professional coach in your pocket!
