As a university student, keeping up with your fitness is an important part of maintaining a happy and healthy lifestyle. Regular exercise can help reduce stress, boost memory and positively impact your mental health.
For students living in Brisbane, you are lucky to have year-round great weather and a city offering so many options for fitness and exercise. Here is our helpful guide for getting fit (or fitter) in Brisbane!
Australia has seen a steady increase in new gym and fitness centres in recent years. For 24-hour gyms you can search for chains like Anytime Fitness, Jetts Gyms and Snap Fitness.
These gyms have many locations throughout Brisbane and offer discounts for students like 10% off or no joining fees (make sure you bring your student ID with you when signing up).
Before you sign up to any gym, make sure you ask staff about student discounts and free trials. Many gyms in Brisbane are franchised, meaning discounts and deals will vary depending on the specific location you sign up at!
If you are looking to make friends and stay fit, check out Unfit Run Club. The club was established by a group of friends as a way to stay fit and connected during COVID-19.
It has now blossomed into a thriving community of 300 + runners of all abilities who meet for a run on Saturday mornings finishing at a local cafe. They also meet for a run on Thursday afternoons ending at a local brewery.
