Exercise your freedom with top Australian locations

We hear a lot about finding balance in our lives, and OS Fitness can help you find it nearly anywhere. Here’s a few happy Aussie places that might fit your lifestyle.

As we all emerge out of hibernation, it’s a great time to leave the cave and take our workouts outdoors with OS Fitness. And with so many parks, gardens, nature walks and coastline to choose from, there’s sure to be a spot to suit any type of workout. Here’s a few to whet your appetite.

Spring has sprung. What a time to find your zen in the Royal Botanic Gardens. A veritable oasis in the city where you can connect on all levels and try a Yoga class.

Finding a place of balance within oneself and nature is what makes yoga so special. Also, in Sydney, you’ll find that McKell Park, just a short ferry ride to Darling Point, is a great spot to take in the views and get zen. Honourable mentions to Wendy’s Secret Garden in Lavender Bay and Centennial Park in the east.

Think Melbourne. Think Yarra River. Venture further east to Warrandyte and clear mountain water meanders past sandy banks. Imagine the early morning slap on leather of a boxing class, broken by bell birds and wind in the gum trees. The cool down is as refreshing as they come.

Race into fitness at a hidden gem. There is a secret tunnel leading to a park with lakes, walking tracks and BBQ’s. No, it’s not in the city. It’s in the middle of Caulfield Racecourse. What a place to take a class like Zumba, and maybe a couple of laps of the track. Odds on, you’ll love it.

The Brisbane River is a core feature of this wonderful city, and New Farm Park is set on its banks. Why not work on your core strength with a 10-minute abs and core workout with and make use of this great example of urban design, complete with riverside running track, green lawns and native trees.

Semaphore Beach provides the best of both worlds. White sandy beaches, low dunes and 2kms of lawn foreshore for public use provide plenty of room to smash a Beach Fit class. And with cafes and shops on the other side of the road, the recovery session can be just as satisfying.

With such a spectacular coastline, it’s hard to ignore Perth’s stunning beaches like Cottesloe, Scarborough and Trigg, yet respite from the Fremantle doctor and the Summer sun can be found close to the city in Kings Park with its beautiful Botanic Gardens. A serene backdrop for a post-natal strength class.

A cool backdrop for something like a Kettlebell Challenge.

Whatever challenges you face in the world, considering what you look at when you take them on can always make a difference to the outcome. With the world opening up again, you’ve never had a better opportunity to explore Australia and match the scenery with some serenity.
