PCYC Bayside

PCYC Bayside is a gym and community club serving Brisbane’s Bayside, with the club listed at 52 Alexander St, Lota. It first opened in 1996 as PCYC Wynnum and continues to provide facilities and activities for local members, families and young people.

The Gym+Fitness area is equipped for a broad range of training, including functional training, cardio and strength equipment, free weights, a lifting platform, squat and power racks, a sled track and boxing facilities. Members can also access personal training, showers and change rooms, plus Activ8 Group Training. The membership includes a free 12-week starter programme, unlimited Activ8 sessions, no lock-in contract and no joining fee, as well as 24/7 access to 34 PCYC gyms across Queensland through the Gym+Fitness network.

Beyond individual workouts, the club offers gymnastics and Little n Active, a programme for children aged from birth to 4.5 years that uses movement and creative play to build physical literacy, social skills and confidence. Little n Active classes run for 45 minutes, with parents taking an active part in a safe, welcoming setting. The club also delivers youth programmes including After Dark, Drop-In, Cadet Club and Team Up, supporting connection, participation and positive development.

For solo gym-goers, the facilities and structured group training provide several ways to exercise, while families can find children’s activities alongside the broader club programme. Community groups can enquire about hiring the group fitness room, which the website lists at $35 per hour. PCYC Bayside is also a practical option for young people looking for supervised sport, recreation and community programmes in the Bayside area.
