Avanti Health Centre Southport is an over-50s gym on Nerang Street, with programs also suited to people at different fitness levels. Its focus extends beyond standard gym access, combining supervised exercise, group classes and health-support services.

Group sessions include Onero for bone health, Pilates, yoga, boxing, strength, circuit training and dance. The centre also runs education and discussion groups focused on diabetes management. Classes are supervised by exercise professionals and are intended to support different goals, including strength, flexibility and endurance. Members can choose between the Avanti Thrive plan, which includes unlimited gym and group-fitness access, and Avanti Core, which includes gym access and two group classes each week; the website lists 12-month weekly rates for both plans.

The gym is set up with dedicated areas for cardio and free weights. Its cardio equipment includes machines for walking, jogging, cycling and rowing, while the weights area has dumbbells, benches and a Smith machine. Private showers, private bathrooms, onsite parking and personal training are also listed among the facilities. For time outside a workout, the Members’ Lounge provides a place to sit with complimentary tea or coffee, read a magazine or chat with other members, giving the venue a more social option than simply arriving, training and leaving.
