Listen to the last episode:
On our second episode of Business of the Month, our brokers are joined by Darren Bain, Founder of Function Well!
Function Well has come a long way since its humble "bootstrap" beginnings in 2009, evolving into one of Australia’s leading fitness and wellness hubs. Located in Newstead, Brisbane, Function Well is built around four core pillars—mindset, nutrition, movement, and restoration—that support the holistic health of its members. Today, it’s more than just a gym; it’s a vibrant community focused on achieving lasting results and wellbeing.
In this episode, Darren takes us behind the scenes of his journey as a business owner and how his personal health and wellness experiences shaped the evolution of Function Well. He shares how traveling the globe to bring the latest knowledge and techniques back to his business, combined with his personal battle with burnout, played a pivotal role in developing the unique philosophy that drives Function Well today.
Tune in to hear Darren’s inspiring story and learn how his vision transformed Function Well into what it is now.
You can learn more about Function Well via their website and socials @functionwellaustralia.
