I think that most of us can agree that gyms can sometimes be pretty gross. Whether it’s that person who doesn’t bring a towel or just the general feeling of sweaty people around you, it’s not always the most inspiring place to get in your workouts. Plus, I am big on natural light, so as soon as there are no windows involved, I am running away faster than you can say burpee.
Today, gyms are a different story. Not only can you work with epic personal trainers and yoga instructors but the spaces just as breathtaking as how you feel after smashing out a hard session. Because gym selfies are a thing.
Here are some of our faves from around Sydney.

Why not take a break from the indoors and get both your daily sweat and vitamin D all in one. Plus you get to hang out in Sydney's own version of muscle beach!

Humming Puppy
If you are thinking that Humming Puppy is a strange name for a yoga studio then you don’t know that there is a reason for the HUM in Humming Puppy. Yup the studio actually hums which there to help the Type A’s out there get deeper into their practice more easily. Sounds like something I’d need.
