We Aussies are a pretty healthy bunch, so it's no wonder we host some of the best fitness events in the world—these are the best fun runs, marathons, triathlons, obstacle courses and ocean swims in Australia coming up in 2025. 

Controlled movements are the name of the game in this strength building and toning workout that targets your bum, legs, arm and core in each and every session. Don't be deceived by the slower pace—anyone who’s ever taken a pilates class will know it's so much harder than it looks.

With Mother’s Day just around the corner it’s time to start thinking about how to spoil Mum, or that special Mother figure in your life, and there’s honestly not much better than an hour or few away from the real world and at one of Perth/Boorloo’s best spas. Whether it’s a heavenly massage to rejuvenate body and mind, or a seriously indulgent facial, being able to unwind and be pampered with a spot of self-care is exactly what Mum deserves.

We’re not sure if it’s just us, but there’s nothing that makes us feel more powerful or in control of our lives than a fresh set of nails. Whether you’re holiday bound or just need a little pick me up, there are so many wildly talented nail artists around town ready to work their magic on you and leave those cuticles looking sharp.

Don't get us wrong, here at Urban List, we do love a good long day hike, but some days you need a short and sweet, bite-sized chunk of nature and exercise—you, know, the kind of walk you can smash out early before retiring to the couch or pub.
