About Evil Barbee PT
Evil Barbee PT is a small-group fitness studio at The Gap in Brisbane's leafy western suburbs, operating from within Studio Tribe on Payne Road. Founded by Melanie Quinn, the studio has carved out a welcoming niche in functional fitness for mature adults, with a particular focus on helping people over 50 move, lift and feel stronger.
The atmosphere is encouraging rather than intimidating, and it is reflected in remarkable client loyalty, with some members training here for more than a decade and others starting in their late 60s and 70s. The emphasis is on building real-world strength, mobility and confidence in a clean, well-equipped space, guided by trainers who motivate without pushing past what is safe and sustainable.
With a varied timetable spanning strength circuits, Tabata, Pilates and dedicated men's and women's sessions, the studio caters to a broad range of ages and abilities. It suits anyone, especially seniors and beginners, looking for a supportive community where staying active is something to look forward to.
