Australia's first gym purpose built to be fortified against covid-19 has opened in Brisbane's inner city suburb of Newstead. 

Rather than offering an open gym floor, the gym’s internal space has been divided into individual “POD suites” separated by clear glass walls fitted with spin bikes, weight sets, trampolines and more.

Inspiration for the gym comes following stringent covid-19 regulations that saw thousands of centres shut down amid extensive infection risks.
