What is Physie?

BJP Physie was established in 1892 and is the longest-running Physical Culture Organisation to this day.  The BJP philosophy is Connection–Confidence–Sportsmanship, or ‘Mens Sana In Corpore Sano’, which means, ‘A healthy body in a healthy mind’.  For over 130 years BJP has provided a national platform for Physie Clubs to come together for healthy competitions and camaraderie.  Physie is about attaining and maintaining fit and healthy goals, increasing strength and flexibility, exercising the body and mind, and creating a place where members feel encouraged, supported and valued.

In 2025 Ulladulla Physical Culture Club (UPC) will celebrate 50 years of proudly teaching BJP Physie.

BJP is an enjoyable and affordable way for girls and women to keep fit, develop discipline, and self-esteem while learning how to dance in a Club and team-based environment that has a touch of glamour and plenty of room for fun. 

Physie can be a sport that multiple generations can enjoy, but it might look and feel a little different now to what you previously might have seen.  The focus is on a positive body image, embracing fitness as a way of life, and a emphasis on what your body is capable of.

BJP creates an annual, age appropriate, challenging exercise syllabus that is performed to fun and inspiring music. 

After time to learn the annual syllabus through participation in regular Club classes, end of year healthy competition culminates in national championships at both The Quay Centre at Homebush (juniors, seniors and ladies) and the Opera House (seniors). 

Physie is an accepting and encouraging sport.  The objective is to help members strive towards their individual goals, and work together towards team competitions.
