Green Apple Wellness Centre

Green Apple Wellness Centre We specialise in helping people living with medical conditions or wanting safe, evidence-based exercise.

Our open-air, eco-friendly environment and supportive culture bridge the gap between hospitals, doctors, and mainstream fitness. Founded in 1980, Green Apple Wellness Centre in Bald Hills is more than a Wellness centre — it’s a community hub for medical exercise, rehabilitation, and healthy ageing.

💚 Throwback Tuesday | Who Remembers Brian's Step Class? 💚

Before fitness trackers, smart watches and apps... there was Brian's legendary Step Class!

Judging by these smiles, it wasn't just about keeping fit—it was about having fun, sharing a laugh and enjoying every minute together.

Looking back at these photos reminds us that while the fashions may have changed, one thing never has... the friendships.

For more than 46 years, Green Apple has been about bringing people together, creating memories and proving that exercise can be one of the best parts of your day.

💚 Were you in Brian's Step Class?

We'd love to hear your memories! Tag someone you recognise or tell us your favourite story from those early Green Apple days.

Some things never go out of style... good friends, plenty of laughs and a community that feels like family.

❄️ Your Body Doesn't Care That It's Winter... It Still Needs Water.

One of the biggest myths about winter is that dehydration isn't a problem.

In fact, winter can quietly leave you dehydrated without you even realising it.

Cold weather reduces your thirst response, meaning you can become dehydrated before you even feel thirsty. Research shows your body's thirst response can fall by up to 40% in colder weather.

While you're sleeping, your body is already losing fluid through breathing and perspiration. If you sleep with your mouth open, you can lose even more moisture overnight, waking up already at a disadvantage.

Then winter adds even more challenges:

💧 You don't feel as thirsty, so you naturally drink less.
💧 Cold air causes you to lose moisture every time you breathe.
💧 Warm clothing can make you sweat more than you realise.
💧 Cold weather can increase urine production, causing your body to lose even more fluid.

Even mild dehydration can affect how you feel and move.

It may contribute to:

• Muscle cramps
• Fatigue and low energy
• Headaches
• Dizziness or light-headedness
• Poor concentration and memory
• Dry mouth and dry eyes
• Slower recovery after exercise
• Reduced balance and physical performance

As we get older, staying hydrated becomes even more important. Every cell, muscle, joint and organ relies on water to function properly.

Don't wait until you feel thirsty. By then, your body may already be asking for help.

Before your first coffee or tea tomorrow morning, drink a large glass of water.

It is one of the simplest—and most powerful—things you can do for your health.

Your body has been working all night. Give it what it needs before you ask it to work for you.

How much water have you had today?

A Very Warm Welcome to Our Newest Exercise Physiologist, Emma!

We are absolutely delighted to welcome Emma to the Green Apple team.

Over the coming weeks, Emma will be supporting many of our members who would normally see Charlie or Brayden while they are away. She brings fresh energy, care and professional knowledge, and we are excited for our members to get to know her.

At Green Apple, trust and continuity matter. Many of our members have been with us for years, and we understand how important it is to feel known, supported and confident in the people helping you.

Emma will be working closely with our team to make sure that support continues.

Please give Emma a big Green Apple welcome when you see her around the Centre. We are very fortunate to have her with us and excited about the contribution she will make to our community.

A New Idea for Our Green Apple Community

Many of you have been part of Green Apple for decades, and that strong sense of community continues to guide the decisions we make.

One exciting idea I am currently considering is allowing full members to use the Pilates studio at no additional cost, once they have paid for a personalised Pilates reformer program or completed the required induction appointments with Green Apple staff.

Before making a final decision, I would love to hear whether this is something our members would value and use.

Please email me at [email protected], or write me a note and ask Reception to place it in my in-basket.

Your feedback matters, and I look forward to hearing your thoughts.

Do Not Wait for a Fall or Fracture to Discover You Have Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis and muscle wastage can progress quietly. You may not feel pain or realise how much strength you have lost until your balance changes, everyday tasks become harder, or a fall causes serious injury.

Now is the time to act.

Green Apple Wellness Centre is holding a two-part Osteoporosis and Muscle Wastage Workshop with Accredited Exercise Physiologist Bridie.

You will learn how to protect your bones, rebuild and maintain muscle, improve balance, reduce your risk of falls and stay independent for longer.

Monday 17 August and Monday 24 August
2.30 pm
Two 90-minute sessions
Total cost: $65

Places are limited. Bookings are essential.

Add your name to the expression-of-interest sheet at Reception or call (07) 3261 1249 today.

Your bones and muscles support your independence every day. Do not wait until something happens before you start protecting them.

Power Half Hour Is Coming Back!

You asked, we listened—and we can feel the excitement already.

Due to popular demand, we are working towards bringing Power Half Hour back to Green Apple on Monday mornings at 6:30 am.

This class has always been about more than exercise. It is about starting the week together, encouraging one another, sharing a laugh and feeling the energy of our Green Apple community.

We are just finalising the start date and will announce it very soon. Thank you for your patience, and we apologise for the slow response.

Who is ready to bring back the early-morning energy?

What Is Your Body Really Made Of?

The number on the scales only tells part of the story.

A Maltron Body Composition Analysis gives you valuable information about your body, including your vital tissue-to-body-fat ratio and how well hydrated your body is.

Understanding these results can help you see changes that ordinary scales may miss and give you a clearer picture of your health and progress.

Katrina will be conducting Maltron Body Composition Analysis sessions on:

Tuesday 4 August
Wednesday 5 August

Places are limited. Please see the Reception noticeboard to book your appointment.

Take the guesswork out of understanding your body.

When Allen Drew was asked what Green Apple meant to him, he did not talk about equipment, programs or exercise.

He said:

“It is a community.”

Those few words touched us, because Allen understands what Green Apple has always been about.

It is walking through the door and being welcomed by people who are genuinely pleased to see you. It is being known by name, sharing a laugh, checking in on one another and feeling that your presence matters.

Allen, you are not just part of our community. You help create it.

Your warmth, humour and familiar smile are part of what makes Green Apple feel like Green Apple. We are truly grateful that you are part of our story.
