BDE Barbell Club x MELT FEST: Halloweencore Workout
Description
BDE Barbell Club is bringing in the biggest dyke energy yet 🌈✂️🏋️♀️.
Yeah, It's Official: BDE x MELT Festival
However, this time... we're going Halloweencore 👻 🧟♀️ 🎃.
Because this round is a bit spesh, we're mutating our social sesh into a fully coached functional bodybuilding class. Come jack your skeleton, ghost your gym crew, or raise the deaddies. Permission to get a feral pump and leave the shrinking to the patriarchy. Gay chaos on the gym floor, sapphics and FLINTA welcome. Two sessions to choose from, 1-hour of your afterlife. The more unhinged you dress, the less we'll no-rep you. Prize for the most camp costume per class. Carbs and iced coffee bring you back to life after. Bring the big hexy dyke energy.
A LITTLE ABOUT MELT FESTIVAL
Melt Festival is an annual, open-access celebration of LGBTQIA+ arts, culture, and ideas held across Brisbane (Magandjin), Australia
JUST IN CASE YOU'RE NEW HERE
BDE Barbell Club is Brisbane's sapphic and FLINTA strength training community. We're all about the BDE: Big Dyke Energy. Taking up space, celebrating strong bodies, lifting heavy shit, masc/andro-coded strength aesthetics, a safe space and real community belonging. We're so not about shrinking, snatching waists or building BBLs for the gram. Every session comes together as a bunch of people lifting each other up through partner workouts, collective hype, a next level pump and carbs and coffee hangs after.
Social Sessions usually run every 2 to 3 Saturday mornings at Flava Fit, Murarrie, with a social bevvo after at Sonny's Cafe.
Sarah: founder and coach. Exercise physiologist and operator of Rehab RXD.
Bruna: co-founder and AIS coach.

FAQs
- Can I bring my Kids?
Yes, 100% they're welcome. However, they will need to be supervised at all times and kept off the gym floor during sessions where possible.
At Flava, we have an enclosed kids corner. But don't forget - your child, your responsibility 🫶
- If I am AFAB/ AMAB/ Trans/ Non-Binary can I still train with BDE?
Anyone can train with BDE, provided they identify with or are adjacent to the "Sapphic" umbrella.
We would love to know your pronouns; please don't hesitate to educate us.
- I have injuries/ health issues that may prevent me from training?
Sessions are run by an accredited exercise physiologist but are not facilitated to provide clinical supervision and modifications.
If you are concerned, please book with Sarah for an Exercise Physiology session, and she can show you how to manage and modify your impairments.If you choose to participate, and the programming is going to put you at risk - you are expected to understand your own alternative non-contraindicated modifications. We are 10/10 happy to help you with modifications though (we'd rather you tell us) - just hit us up beforehand.
- Are you holding BDE on any other day than Saturday?
Potentially - if there's a call for it, we may be able to do the occasional Sunday.
- Will you be holding any session North-Side?
Absolutely, as of 2027 - watch this space.
