Sometimes the best way to break up the working week is to do something completely different \u2013 like getting competitive on a court, dancing until you\u2019re sweaty, or simply catching up with friends while soaking in warm water.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 font-serif text-left text-[20px] leading-[1.75rem]\">Sydney has plenty of ways to move, reset and connect, and Wednesday is as good a night as any to try something new. Plus, DiDi is discounting rides on Wednesday nights, which means getting where you need to be costs less than it would any other night of the week. Here are five ways to turn an ordinary school night into a little side quest.<\/p>\n<p>Play padel at Sidewall<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 font-serif text-left text-[20px] leading-[1.75rem]\">Padel is having a moment, and you don\u2019t need a group of friends already committed to the sport to get involved. At Marrickville\u2019s<a target=\"_blank\" class=\"inline cursor-pointer border-b border-current pb-0 transition duration-100 hover:border-dotted\" href=\"https:\/\/sidewall.com.au\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-bsx-external-link-tracked=\"true\"> Sidewall<\/a>, Wednesday\u2019s Ladies Night Americano is designed for players who want to get on court without needing to bring a partner. An Americano format mixes up the pairings throughout the session, so it\u2019s as much about meeting new people as it is about keeping score. Or if you\u2019ve already got a group to play with, Wednesday court bookings are open to everyone.<\/p>\n<p>R&amp;R at Soak Bathhouse<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 font-serif text-left text-[20px] leading-[1.75rem]\">Not all movement needs to involve a lot of moving.<a target=\"_blank\" class=\"inline cursor-pointer border-b border-current pb-0 transition duration-100 hover:border-dotted\" href=\"http:\/\/soakbathhouse.com.au\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-bsx-external-link-tracked=\"true\"> Soak Bathhouse<\/a> in Alexandria and Bondi Junction are ideal places to press pause. The indoor urban oasis features warm and hot magnesium pools, cold plunges, saunas and steam rooms. Wednesday evenings come with an added soundtrack: Soak &amp; Sound brings live acoustic performances from local musicians between 5pm and 8pm. It\u2019s a midweek invitation to unwind and help you get through the last couple days before the weekend.<\/p>\n<p>Dance it out with The Jungle Body<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 font-serif text-left text-[20px] leading-[1.75rem]\">If your idea of midweek movement is less gym session and more lose-yourself-in-the-music, then<a target=\"_blank\" class=\"inline cursor-pointer border-b border-current pb-0 transition duration-100 hover:border-dotted\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thejunglebodysydney.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-bsx-external-link-tracked=\"true\"> The Jungle Body<\/a> is an easy entry point. These high-energy dance fitness classes feel more like a group party than a workout, with simple, repetitive routines set to loud, feel-good tracks. You don\u2019t need any dance experience (or even much coordination) to get through it \u2013 just a willingness to move and not take yourself too seriously. With Wednesday night sessions running across the CBD and Chatswood, it\u2019s a low-pressure way to turn an ordinary evening into something fun.<\/p>\n<p>Learn to salsa at Hay St Market<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 font-serif text-left text-[20px] leading-[1.75rem]\">If a full dance class sounds intimidating,<a target=\"_blank\" class=\"inline cursor-pointer border-b border-current pb-0 transition duration-100 hover:border-dotted\" href=\"https:\/\/whatson.cityofsydney.nsw.gov.au\/events\/salsa-wednesdays-at-hay-st\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-bsx-external-link-tracked=\"true\"> Hay St Market<\/a> offers a gentler way onto the dance floor. Every Wednesday, the Latin dance night starts with a free beginner salsa or bachata lesson with professional instructors before the music kicks in and social dancing continues into the evening. There\u2019s no need to arrive with a partner or any previous experience \u2013 just turn up, grab a drink and have a go. It\u2019s the kind of spontaneous Wednesday plan that can easily turn into a much later night than expected.<\/p>\n<p>Go bouldering at 9 Degrees<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 font-serif text-left text-[20px] leading-[1.75rem]\">Bouldering is part puzzle, part workout and, occasionally, a humbling reminder of what gravity can do. At<a target=\"_blank\" class=\"inline cursor-pointer border-b border-current pb-0 transition duration-100 hover:border-dotted\" href=\"https:\/\/www.9degrees.com.au\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-bsx-external-link-tracked=\"true\"> 9 Degrees<\/a>, climbers can tackle short, challenging routes without ropes or harnesses, using strength, balance and a bit of problem-solving to make their way up the wall. It\u2019s an easy activity to do solo or with friends, and there are nine levels of difficulty to tackle. With five locations across Sydney \u2013 Alexandria, Waterloo, Lane Cove, Chatswood and Parramatta \u2013 it\u2019s an easy one to fit into a Wednesday night.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 font-serif text-left text-[20px] leading-[1.75rem]\">This article is produced by Broadsheet in partnership with DiDi.
