A free morning run and walk club that meets on the grass opposite il Lido at Cottesloe: Fridays at 6am, every second Sunday at 7am, and the last Wednesday of the month at 5.30pm.

A Forrest Street room in Subiaco running sauna and cold plunge in thirty or sixty minute blocks, with availability deliberately capped so the space stays quiet rather than filled.

Showers and change rooms are on site.
