All they do is swimming lessons - and they have a great programme to keep kids progressing and motivated. The staff are great with my kids - especially when they are a bit scared of new things. A good sign is that its always busy and can be hard to get a time slot that you want.

The owner has a heated pool at the back of the house and is very well maintained. They have really friendly instructors who are very patient with the kids. My son started taking swimming lessons there about a year ago and he really enjoyed it . Initially he was very scared to even go in the pool but with the persistence of the instructors he overcame that fear and is now trying to swim along with the other kids. They are also very reasonably priced - under 10$ for a lesson is genuine enough . Well recommended for beginners.

I'd been to Barre Body in Melbourne and Perth, so I knew what to expect at this Sydney studio…read more I used my ClassPass membership to take Megan's barre tone class. Though the website says otherwise, socks were not required (I prefer barre in bare feet when it's done on wood floor as it is here). Barre Body bills this class as "...strong and dynamic." I'd say I found that to be true. If you've done Dailey Method, Pure Barre or Bar Method, you'll feel right at home. And if you've never done barre before but have done yoga and/or pilates, you'll do fine too. This is a small studio with no lobby so you probably don't want to rock up more than 10 minutes prior to class.

I'm a fan of Barre Body in Melbourne and attend classes at least a couple of times a week. I was…read morereally happy to know that during a recent visit to Sydney I was able to use my membership to attend a class at the Surry Hills studio, and could book the exact same way as I do at home via my Barre Body app. This studio is clean and minimalist. It's a serene environment to work out and it's nicely located to public transport for easy access. The classes themselves are varied, with different styles and intensities available depending on your ability and mood. Like my experiences in Melbourne, the teacher at my Surry Hills class was absolutely delightful and had a terrific way of leading the class and encouraging everyone.
