The 'Get Active at the House' series of group fitness classes at the Sydney Opera House offers Sydneysiders and visitors the chance to experience the venue in a new way and rediscover the city.

Get Active at the House that will include early morning and evening classes of high intensity interval training (HIIT), yoga and Pilates on the Eastern Podium at the top of the spectacular Monumental Steps, and on its Northern Broadwalk.
