6 WEEK FOCUS CHALLENGE:

WEEK 1 LEGEND: Huge shout-out to Anne-Marie! She’s jumped straight into the challenge with such great energy. It’s been fantastic watching her smash her sessions and truly lean into the food side of things to see what works best for her, focusing on the "why" behind her nutrition. We love her openness and honesty about her journey, it makes all the difference in helping us tailor things to her specific goals. Keep up the amazing work, Anne-Marie! 👏✨

A massive, heartfelt congratulations to our very own Geoff!
​He was recently honored by the Manningham City Council with a beautiful speech recognising his incredible 18 years of service and outstanding contributions to our community. For those who don't know his impressive background, Geoff served as the long-serving President of the Doncaster Templestowe Historical Society and was a key figure in managing the Schramm’s Cottage museum complex, helping to preserve so much of Manningham’s local history.

​At 96 years young, Geoff continues to be an inspiration to us all as a dedicated regular in our "Keep Moving" classes. I asked him recently what his secret to longevity was, and he didn't miss a beat: "Staying busy and a glass of wine each day."

​Cheers to that, Geoff! We are so proud to have you as part of the PLAY Health & Fitness family.

Feb is the new Jan... right?
​I’ve officially traded my holiday brain for real life. Adulting: 1, Me: 0. But we’re back, and the energy in the studio is already 10/10!

​The Quick Updates:
​🗓️ Fresh Schedule: We heard you and listened to your feedback! We’ve tweaked our timetable to better fit your life! New times start Monday, Feb 9th.

​👻 Ghosting is for Dating, Not Play: Our morning classes are basically the hottest ticket in town right now. If you can’t make it, please cancel ASAP (the night before) so someone on the waitlist can snag that spot. Keep the gym karma high!

​🧘 The Vibe: We’re here for your results, your headspace, your hormones, and your longevity. Zero ego, maximum feels. (And yes, burpees are still a ‘choice,’ not a requirement.)

​See you on the floor! ✌️

Move beyond the standard crunch with a comprehensive routine designed to address hidden weaknesses and improve postural alignment. By combining functional stability exercises with deep-tissue foam rolling, you’ll correct structural imbalances while relieving chronic muscle tightness.

Let’s be real: most gyms feel like a performance. At PLAY, we’re a community, not a competition. We’re the home for the busy people of Lower Plenty and surrounds, who are juggling kids, careers, and hormones, and just want to feel good in their skin again. All ages, all abilities.
​No ego. No intimidation. Just smart training and a lot of laughs. (And yes, the burpees are optional!)
