Positive Energy

Founded by local powerhouse, fitness guru, Mum and all-round legend Jodie Hines, Positive Energy Health + Fitness is the kind of space that completely redefines what a wellness centre can be. It’s not just about reps and routines, it’s about community, healing and feeling good, inside and out. The space is a phenomenal feat of design excellence. It’s giving serious ‘Phwar!’

Jodie’s personal journey has inspired every corner of Positive Energy. With the loving support of her husband, Paul, Jodie has been able to chase her dreams and create a unique space where people in the community can feel empowered and supported on their mental wellness journey.

“After I had my girls, I rushed back into fitness, thinking I was doing the right thing in spaces that were marketed as safe for postpartum recovery,” Jodie shares. “But I ended up doing real damage, overtraining, following advice that didn’t suit my body or stage of life. That was my wake-up call.”

Determined to change the conversation around fitness and mental wellbeing, Jodie became a Personal Trainer and dedicated herself to understanding how movement supports the mind as much as the body. Years later, she’s created a space that reflects that journey. A supportive community open to all.

Women, men, teens – Positive Energy is for anyone who wants to feel better, move better, and connect with a wellness community that lifts you up in a seriously slick setting.

Architect Matt Woodward brought Jodie’s vision to life in a truly spectacular way. Working with Jodie, he created a space designed around a lush central courtyard. Every room, studio, and therapy space interacts with this green heart, creating a seamless flow between indoors and out.

Think Miami industrial meets zen retreat, polished concrete, natural light pouring through floor-to-ceiling black steel framed windows, vibrant pops of colour (those iconic Spanish green tiles took seven months to arrive but were so worth it), and a cool calm that wraps around you the moment you step inside.

“I had years of Pinterest boards and 1am rabbit hole scroll sessions dreaming this place up,” laughs Jodie. “I still can’t believe it’s real.”

THE ZEN DEN

A sun-drenched sanctuary for yoga, breathwork, Pilates and guided meditation. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the space with light, while a succulent-filled balcony offers the perfect post-practice reset.

THE STRENGTH STUDIO

Functional fitness and resistance training happen here, with all the gear and all the good vibes. The huge sliding doors allow the space to roll into the private courtyard.

SPIN STUDIO

This room means business. Brand-new spin bikes face two enormous screens projecting high-energy visuals – scenic rides to carefully curated playlists. It is the perfect distraction from the burn! The room opens into the strength studio for hybrid training opportunities.

“I’m running Spin, Strength and Stretch sessions where people can hit everything in one go,” says Jodie. “I’m passionate about creating experiences you won’t find anywhere else.”

CONTRAST THERAPY ROOMS

Two contrast therapy rooms that are designed to be both stunning and soothing, with infrared saunas and ice baths to help you recover and recharge your mind.

THERAPY ROOM

A space for local practitioners, Jodie calls them “wellness magicians” who offer everything from massage and physio to holistic treatments and counselling.

THE JUICE & COFFEE BAR

Because no workout is complete without a post-sweat smoothie or flat white. This bar is where the community vibe really kicks in. Grab a seat, hang out, chat, and refuel. Skip the workout and just come for the snacks – anything goes!

What makes Positive Energy truly special isn’t just the aesthetics or the amenities; although, let’s be honest, they’re next level. It’s the culture that Jodie has built.

“My goal was to create a space where people can train with focus if that’s what they’re after, or slow down, enjoy a juice, connect with others, and make wellness a lifestyle rather than a chore,” she explains.

You can expect fun, inclusive programming that truly reflects Positive Energy’s welcoming ethos. Think Gin & Spin nights, where you’ll wrap up a high-energy ride with a much deserved post-workout Brookie-brewed G&T. Join the Sunday run club followed by laid-back DJ sessions in the courtyard, or sign up for one of the many holistic healing workshops. They’ve got something for everyone, Parents & Bubs, specialised programs for Active Ageing Adults 55+, and Teen-only classes built to inspire confidence, connection, and growth.

It’s equal parts movement and magic and the response from the community already speaks volumes.

At its core, Positive Energy was born from a deeply personal journey and that authenticity radiates through every detail.

“I found that breathwork, holistic healing and movement got me through some really tough times. That’s why this place exists. I wanted to build a space where others can feel that same support. We got you,” Jodie says.

Wherever you are in your life, training for a goal, recovering from birth, discovering movement for the first time, or just after a damn good smoothie and some sunshine, you’ll find your space here.
