Gyms and Fitness in Tasmania: Hobart, Launceston and Beyond

Tasmania's gym and fitness network is centred on Hobart and Launceston, with both cities having a full range of 24-hour chains, council aquatic facilities and boutique studios. In Hobart, the Doone Kennedy Hobart Aquatic Centre on Davies Avenue at Glebe is the premier public facility with a 50-metre indoor pool, hydrotherapy pool and gym. The Hobart CBD has a growing number of boutique studios for reformer Pilates, yoga and CrossFit in the inner suburbs and Salamanca area. In Launceston, the Launceston Aquatic Centre on Cnr Brisbane/Charles Streets has 25-metre and leisure pool facilities. Both cities have all major 24-hour chains. The outdoor fitness culture in Tasmania is particularly strong, with trail running, road cycling and open-water swimming drawing significant participation given the extraordinary natural environment surrounding both cities.
