Monday Wellness: Active & Healthy Program

Kickstart your week and shake off the Monday blues with the City of Gold Coast’s renowned Active & Healthy program. Today, Monday, 9 February 2026, residents and visitors can participate in several low-cost or free community fitness sessions designed for all ages and ability levels. In Robina, a 30-minute body toning class is scheduled, focusing on strength and flexibility using body weight and light resistance. For those closer to the northern end of the coast, a group fitness session at Labrador offers an all-over body workout to help improve cardio and balance. These sessions are a fantastic way to enjoy the Gold Coast’s outdoor lifestyle while connecting with the local community.

Cinematic Highlights at Pacific Fair

If you prefer a more relaxed indoor experience, today is a perfect day to catch the latest international film releases at Event Cinemas Pacific Fair. Following the excitement of the recent AACTA Festival, the big screen continues to shine with a diverse lineup. Film enthusiasts can catch the highly anticipated drama Marty Supreme, starring Timothée Chalamet, with multiple screenings throughout the morning and afternoon. Additionally, the thriller Shelter and the star-studded The Housemaid are also showing. Whether you are looking for a mid-morning escape or an evening outing, the Gold Coast’s premier cinema destination has a full schedule of sessions to choose from today.

Cultural Immersion at HOTA

The HOTA Gallery is open to the public, offering a chance to explore a variety of contemporary Australian art and rotating exhibitions in a world-class facility. It is an ideal destination for those seeking a quiet space to reflect and appreciate local creativity.
