Fitness Activities on Hamilton Island

If you’re part of the growing number of people who enjoy packing your active wear and continuing your fitness routine when away from home, then don’t fear Hamilton Island has your gym and fitness needs covered when you are visiting us:

Knock over your regular session at our state of the art Sports Club (Gym)

Hamilton Island Sports Club Weight Room.

The Hamilton Island Sports Club offers a diverse range of ways to counteract any holiday indulgence or simply keep you on track.  You can pick the style of session that suits you:

• Take one of the fun classes, with options for all fitness levels.

• Book in for a personal training and be worked through your paces.

• Or, simply come in for a solo session and make use of the array of equipment for weights or cardio.

Best of all, it’s all in air conditioning, which definitely helps on a tropical island. Use of the gym is complimentary for guests residing at qualia, Beach Club, Reef View Hotel and Palm Bungalows. Fee’s for other island guests can be found here.
 

Take the challenge of running or hiking our trails

Exploring Hamilton Island on foot can be a great way to explore its natural beauty, at your own pace. Discover secluded beaches, sandy coves, stunning views and along the way reconnect with nature.
 
With recent upgrades and regular track maintenance, it has never been easier to head out into nature for a long walk or a hilly trail run. Best of all you can combine fitness with sightseeing parts of the island and mentally escape at the same time.
 
We always recommend you bring plenty of water, ensuring a bathroom stop before you journey out (there are no toilets on the tracks) and ensuring you are wearing appropriate footwear. Sun protection is also a must.
 

Refresh, relax and unwind with a yoga class

The island offers weekly yoga classes for a range of abilities and styles. Yoga classes are typically held in the Sports Club but have also been scheduled at incredible outdoor locations around the island such as sunset yoga on the Keel Deck at the Hamilton Island Yacht Club or sunrise yoga at the Hamilton Island Golf Club on Dent Island. Yoga is the perfect holiday exercise for someone wanting to move their body but also enjoy relaxation in a class that captures our island location.

Update – September 2021: Please note that the outdoor locations for Yoga are currently paused, and will resume at a later date.
 
Plan your yoga class by checking the Hamilton Island App for when classes are running, what fees might apply and if you need to book in with the Sports Club or tour desk.

We also have a range of beach sports such as kayaks, paddle boards, snorkel gear and sailing, which are fantastic ways of moving your body and getting the heart rate up.

Making time to get in a round of golf can be a challenging task in everyday life. Holidays are the ideal time to make some time to lock in nine or eighteen holes. You’ll get out in the fresh air and this outdoor leisure sport is a fantastic low-impact physical activity. The Hamilton Island Golf Course is one of the most stunning in the world and a reward for your hard work is waiting at the well-appointed 19th hole at the club house at the end of your round.
