The Good Dose Is the Bayside's New Wellness Studio and Sourdough Shop
Take part in a yoga, pilates or jiu jitsu class, then take some bread home with you.
If a workout session instantly kickstarts your carb cravings, then Wynnum's latest addition has both parts of the equation covered. Opening in mid-June, new health and wellness studio The Good Dose will give you plenty of opportunities to bend, stretch and sweat — and it'll sell sourdough and pastries on the premises as well.
When it comes to exercise, members have three different classes to choose from. Salute the sun on the yoga mat, practise your concentration and control in a pilates session, or give jiu jitsu a whirl. To adhere with COVID-19 restrictions, only yoga and pilates classes will commence when the characteristically light and airy studio opens, with jiu jitsu to follow at a later date.
Bread-wise, The Good Dose has teamed up with Byron Bay and Tweed Heads' The Bread Social, with organic sourdough, seeded sourdough, fruit and nut sourdough, and semi sourdough baguettes on the menu — plus ciabatta, croissants, pain au chocolat and fruit danishes. Orders are due by 5pm each Friday, with your baked goods then ready to collect on Mondays. You can also opt for a sourdough subscription if you already know you'll want a loaf (or several) each and every week.
The Good Dose is the creation of cofounders Josh Campbell and Molly Nicholas — and, as well as allowing all members to access all three of its fitness disciplines with the one membership, the studio is focused on intimate classes. In normal circumstances, expect no more than 12–20 people per session, with classes to be capped at six for the time being in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
If you're keen to check out the place before it officially opens its doors, you can also head by over the weekend of Saturday, June 13–Sunday, June 14 for the The Good Dose's opening weekend, before classes kick off on Monday, June 15. You can sign up for a 14-day trial for $14, otherwise a full membership will set you back $55 per week; however for a limited time you can nab the Founding Member Offer for $45 per week. If you're keen to just go to a class every now and again, it'll cost $20 per session.
