Overview
Need a bit of extra motivation to exercise? Would the chance to dress up and step back in time make you more eager to burn some calories? If so, jog along to Retrosweat — a series of themed workouts inspired by '80s and led by Shannon Dooley of Physique Aerobics, who says she's aiming to inject a lot more fun (and eye shadow) into exercising. Her classes celebrate the glorious music and dance moves of the '80s. Think Prince, Michael Jackson and Madonna.
Sessions are a non-intimidating 50 minutes long and all experience levels are welcome, so don't rule yourself out if you think you have two left feet. And as to the dress code "G string leotards are encouraged, scrunchies and sweatbands compulsory".
Retrosweat runs every week at 7pm on both Tuesdays in Alexandria (Worldwide Dance Studios, 39-40/112 McEvoy Street, Alexandria) and Thursdays in Surry Hills (Hiscoes Fitness Centre, 525 Crown St, Surry Hills).
