Sydney - Post Report Question and Answers

What kinds of gyms or other sports/workout facilities are available? Are they expensive?

Lots of gyms, many right around the consulate building. Most have good equipment and are reasonably priced. Many other fitness options like CrossFit, martial arts, running, etc. Folks who join local team sports clubs have a great time and make Australian friends. - May 2023


Sydney is great for sports lovers and outdoor activities, with surfing, swimming, gyms, and every other type of group or individual sport you could want for kids and adults. Prices are similar to US. - Dec 2020

Yes plenty but very expensive. I pay around US$35 a fortnight. - Nov 2014


Many people join Fitness First, which is as overpriced as it is inevitable. For $80 a month you will experience somewhat overcrowded and under-cleaned facilities. But they have many locations and are convenient. Virgin Gyms have recently opened, and although they are awesome, at around $110 they are significantly more expensive. - Sep 2012
