The Buddhist Society of WA's city centre, fifteen minutes north of the CBD, running free guided meditation several times a week alongside Friday dhamma talks and WA's largest Buddhist library.

A Balcatta studio running a six-day timetable across jazz, tap, classical ballet, lyrical and contemporary, hip hop, acrobatics and musical theatre. The adult classes are the notable part — the studio's own line is that it has lovely ladies still tapping in their eighties — and students of all ability levels including beginners are taken.

A Finnish sauna house on Erindale Road, grown out of a mobile sauna that spent a couple of years touring Perth before settling into a permanent room.

A reef-sheltered lagoon at the northern end of Trigg, flat enough that the name is fair. The reef holds the swell off, which makes it the calm-water option on a coast that mostly is not, and the water is clearest before the wind arrives.

Flavia Giardino practises clinical nutrition from Padbury with a Bachelor of Health Sciences in Nutrition and Dietetic Medicine — education-first nutritional therapy across gut health, women's health, plant-based and family nutrition, built on personalised plans rather than handed-down meal sheets.

A myotherapy practice inside Westfield Whitford City, working on neuromusculoskeletal pain, posture and recovery from injury.

A Wangara academy running since 1987, with Zen Do Kai, Muay Thai, Brazilian jiu jitsu, boxing and MMA on one adult timetable from sixteen years up.

A two-week unlimited intro pass is $29.

A small studio in Connolly run by Louise Jennings, combining personal training with health and lifestyle coaching. Group fitness is capped at six, and one-on-one work runs alongside family sessions, post-pregnancy training and teen programmes.

Contrast therapy in a suburban Beldon setup: an infrared sauna and an ice bath, taken singly or alternated.
