Our first Blockhouse Bay walk 😍😍

Spicy Shoelace Club has found its permanent home in Blockhouse Bay - the home where the journey all began.

To move your body is a privilege, and we are so excited to build and grow a healthier BHB 🩷

See you all again next Sunday at 8:30am.

Our Community, our Blockhouse Bay 🩷

Blockhouse Bay has been our home for the past 25 years, it’s where I was born and brought up, alongside my mum, dad, older sister, and now our two dogs.

Over the past few years, I’ve been on my own health and weight-loss journey after Covid, and it taught me just how important it is to keep our bodies healthy, and it’s more fun doing it together.

So together with my parents, we wanted to create something that brings people of all ages together, so we started Spicy Shoelace Club: a fun, feel-good and inclusive movement club to encourage us all to stay active and healthy.

My mum and dad try to keep as active as they can, but we know it’s always more fun when we do it together. That’s what Spicy Shoelace Club is all about, moving our bodies, sharing some laughs, and building a stronger, healthier community.

📍 Meeting point: Blockhouse Bay Library

Every Sunday morning at 8:30am, everyone is welcome, bring your kids, your dogs and your neighbours!!

Come along and let’s make Blockhouse Bay a stronger and healthier community together.

Thankful for our spicy family for showing up for themselves every Sunday 🌶️🌶️
