That's a wrap on INSPIRE Bingo (Plot-twist: we had a tie!🏅)

Bingo has officially come to an end, and what an incredible challenge it’s been. From early morning starts, double troubles, post-class coffee fuels, and the race to the finish (shout-out to our 3rd place tie), we’ve loved seeing everyone get involved and give it a go.

We have an extra special spotlight for our FOUR podium finishers—Lillie coming in 1st, Kristy taking 2nd, and Cleo and Nicola neck and neck in 3rd—who truly took things to the next level 🏆✨

How did your Inspire journey start? And what is your favourite memory of the studio? 

Kristy: I had just moved to Brisbane from NZ and was on the lookout for a new gym. I booked into my first class with Cait and I was hooked - rave x exercise? Hook, line and sinker 🪝 done deal! My fav memory of the studio .. there is just so many, but having the privilege to celebrate our instructors’ life achievements like Ange and Steph’s baby reveal, Em’s hens ride, and all the birthday rides is a huge highlight 💛

Cleo: A friend of mine stumbled upon Inspire years ago and asked me to do our first class together and the rest is truly history. There’s tooooo many great memories but a cute one was when Emma had an entire class belting songs to our hearts content, the vibes in that room were so wholesome 🥹

Lillie: I was actually convinced to come try Inspire when my friend Mel (who already loves Inspire classes) took me Tyra’s Jonas Brothers theme ride, and the rest was history. 

But my favourite memory at the studio was my first class with Steph. Experiencing her energy for the first time, you just have to be there to understand! 👏🏼

Nicola: I first started coming to Inspire occasionally with friends, just casually trying different classes. Over time, I started getting more consistent and really fell in love with it. My favourite memories are definitely some of the themed classes over the years. One that really stands out is the 10th Birthday Box back in March. Christian, Mikhi, Laura & Melissa delivered the ultimate Boxing and Pilates mash-up. It was one of those classes that perfectly captured everything I love about Inspire 🔥🥊

What makes this community different? 

Cleo: For me, Inspire is just the epitome of ✨girls (& guys!) just wanna have fun✨. I lowkey haaate working out 🥴 yet somehow I can find myself at Inspire everyday. The instructors and reception team are also just unmatched!

Nicola: From the very beginning, I’ve always felt really welcomed here. It’s a space where you can just show up as yourself, no pressure, no expectations, just support, encouragement, and good energy. 🥹

Kristy: The Inspire community is filled with kind-hearted people. It is supportive and welcoming for all people regardless of size, sportiness, gender, or sexuality. Definitely a safe space! 🩷

Lillie: The energy is unmatched. Everyone brings such good vibes, and it genuinely feels like a safe space where you can just show up as you are (and sometimes suffer happily in a workout).

What was your motivation to sign up for Bingo? 

Lillie: Honestly, the concept got me immediately, it was something different. 🙌🏼Plus the cards were so cute it made it fun to tick things off. And of course… a very good prize didn’t hurt either.

Nicola: I love an INSPIRE challenge and wanted something that would push me out of my comfort zone. It felt like a fun way to stay motivated, try new classes, and be more consistent. 💪

Kristy: Motivation? I had come back from a trip to Korea and I spent too much on skincare. Not gonna lie - I thought if I win, one month free of Inspire would count for one of the purchases… so, girl math! 💅

Cleo: My friend Kristy (🥈iykyk). I wasn’t intending to go so hard, let alone go for the podium until about a week in. But once I committed, we were hyping each other up along the way 👩🏻‍🤝‍👩🏾

What was your strategy to get a Podium finish?

Kristy: Eat the frog 🐸 ticked off the hard ones first, aka 5 am classes and the Run (or Walk, for me) Club. I essentially studied the class schedule to maximise efficiency AND rest 🤓 

Lillie: I had to be strategic, tick off the classes that are harder to book, as quickly as I could 👏🏼

Nicola: Mostly planning ahead and a few dirty doubles! I worked my schedule around the classes and instructors I needed to tick off… and a little bit of keeping up with Cleo 😉

Cleo: 3 words. Just Lock In.

What was your favourite class or activity that you tried through Bingo?

Cleo: The ‘bring a friend’ challenge! I brought one of my best friends to do a Pilates class with me. It was sooo hard but she loved it. We grabbed a coffee afterwards and went to the antique store. It was a perfect morning! 🫶🏼

Lillie: The Friday morning Inspire Strength Booty class with Cait got me good 🔥. 

Kristy: Honestly, I loved the social side of Bingo. Meeting new people through the Run/Walk Club (shout out to Susan and Steph) and coffee hangs with Cleo ✨ Oh! And getting to know the instructors better!

Nicola: Ange’s Sunday morning spin class was a standout for me. I hadn’t tried it before, but I absolutely loved the energy!

We have an ALL FEMALE podium, what is your Girl Boss Anthem?

Lillie: Right now it’s Crank It by Slayyyter. No further explanation needed.

Cleo: Alter Ego - Doechii 🤎

Nicola: In The Moment by RÜFÜS DU SOL, or honestly anything by them. I always love the music at Inspire too, especially Cait’s playlists, they never miss! 

Kristy: Silver Springs by Fleetwood Mac

How did it feel to take that FIRST spot on the Podium?

Lillie: To be completely honest, I simply like winning 🙂‍↕️

How did it feel to share your Podium finish?

Cleo: It was so nice to share the podium with someone you know who has been going just as hard and deserves it. I am NOT a morning person and we finished on the 5:15am Run/Walk Club on the cutest stroll, just us (and Mikhi)… both relieved it was over 😅

Nicola: I think we both sensed a tie was coming the week before, which made it even more fun! 👀 Finishing with Alex’s Run/Walk Club together early Monday morning and getting to know each other outside the studio was such a nice way to wrap it up. Honestly, so proud to share the podium with Cleo! 🤗

There you have it! From first classes that changed everything, carefully planned winning strategies, 5:15am finish lines, surprise ties, and a whole lot of community—it’s been an incredible challenge! ✨

We celebrated the challenge end at The Woolshed ☕️ and drew our 5 surprise Bingo winners, so another big congratulations to:

Thomas W, Connor B, Susan L, Lizzie M, and Steph W 🥳
