Function Well, Newstead’s five-star health hub and luxury gym, is expanding to a second location at the Toombul shopping centre in Nundah and it has started pooling its membership.
Eyed for an April 2021 opening, the wellness centre will occupy Toombul’s third floor, right below the former site of Sizzler and accessible through the UPSTAIRS dining and entertainment hub.
Construction work has been steadily ramping up for Function Well to meet its targetted opening date whilst the club has recently been accepting sign-ups for over 95 classes a week.
As with the Newstead venue, this fully-equipped 24-hour gym will have yoga, pilates, high-intensity interval training (HIIT), metabolic conditioning (METCON), crossfit training, and boxing.
Members may also indulge and restore their body after a fulfilling workout in the steam room, infrared saunas and ice baths, red light therapy or meditation zone.
After working out or restoration, they may also re-energise at the Be Well Bar and order a bowl of nutritious salads, or a glass of smoothie.
