Sydneysiders - where to train - Ausbb

katie · 10-09-2009, 01:32 PM

I know we already have a thread for various "health clubs" in Sydney, here: http://ausbb.com/general-topic/9054-...html#post65044 .

However I have trained at a couple of those places (back in my days as a cardio bunny) and they're not that great if you want to go to a gym to lift heavy stuff.

Over the past year, I've collected various details of great places to train in Sydney. Some of these I've been to, some I haven't. Feel free to add your own little reviews.

In no particular order

Broadway gym

double dragon at Sutherland- it's actually a kickboxing/mma gym but they have a lot f strong man equipment and good weights. They have started their "strongman Saturdays" I believe. I aim to take part when I reach my lifting goals.
