Brighton Baths Health Club

The Verdict

Finally—a gym that offers both indoor and outdoor training. Rain, hail or shine, the Brighton Baths Health Club offers a solid workout with a serious view. Can't beat that combo. There's regular Beach Fit classes right on the sand, a modern gym and changing rooms, plus the place is open 24/7, so you can work out in your own time.

You probably know Brighton Baths as the home of the famous (read crazy) winter swimmers, the Icebergers, but there's a lot more to the facilities than the open-bay pool. The club offers a bunch of activities like swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding, a state-of-the-art gym, personal training and group exercise classes, most of which come with stunning views over Port Phillip Bay. Not to mention the perfect post-workout chill session in the ocean-front aromatherapy steam rooms.

Take in the panoramic bay views with a stroll along the boardwalk, or soak up some sun on the private beach. Either way, it's a far cry from a Fitness First.
