If your fitness regime is in need of a little post-summer pick-me-up, then this free wellness day might just hit the spot.
On Sunday, March 31, the Bayside suburb of Port Melbourne is hosting a health-packed community open day, as some of its most-loved gyms, spa retreats and health food stores open their doors — for free.
A program of free activities and sessions will give guests a taste of some of the suburb's best wellness offerings. You can try your hand at a boxing, spin classes, beach yoga or pilates — all held on a beachside stage next to Port Melbourne Yacht Club — indulge in a free massage courtesy of Symmetry, sit in on one of the expert-led health workshops and sample stacks of great local fare. Recovery might include a free Melbourne Chiro neck adjustment, a podiatry assessment from the folks at Up & Running or an LED light therapy facial.
Some of the area's top gyms and wellness operators will have extra goodies in store for visitors on the day, too, from specials on personal training to offers on skin and body treatments. The whole thing is free and if you register you'll be in with a chance to win some fab prizes.
