JOE BANANAS
Joe Bananas established his label over 40 years ago, capturing the mood of the early 80s in his edgy, eclectic range. A qualified geologist, Joe always visualized his beloved Australian gemstones as the textures and colors of his fabrics and set about creating silk textiles inspired by his surroundings and geological phenomena from the Australian Black Opal to iconic landmarks such as Uluru, all of which remain as signature weaves in the collections today.

Their standard 45-minute class is a one-of-a-kind boxing experience curated for a blend of beginners and experts.

Private training and ringside classes are a great way to dive deeper into the boxing fundamentals and hone in on skills geared especially towards health & fitness goals.
