Getting Sporty in Sydney

August 1, 2016

August 14 will see the world-famous City2Surf hit Sydney once again, and everyone is pumped. This city simply loves getting active! No matter whether you’re into running, swimming, lifting or meditating, we’ve got your Sydney sports sessions covered.
You don’t have to look far to find the best gyms in Sydney. If you’re visiting the city, your accommodation should offer a quality gym and perhaps even a heated indoor pool. If you’re after particular equipment or that busy gym atmosphere, there are a number of specialist and 24/7 gyms throughout the CBD and surrounding suburbs.

Get stirred up as a spectator
If you need a breather while you’re in Sydney, why not watch some of the many sporting events that the city hosts? In August alone you could catch an AFL game, attend the Bledisloe Cup Festival and of course, join or cheer on the City2Surf runners.

Run with a view
You’re spoilt for choice when it comes to scenic running paths in Sydney. You could take a fast-paced run through the Botanic Gardens and Circular Quay, take the Harbour Bridge circuit and soak up all the iconic landmarks, or jog the 14km Bondi to Coogee coastal path from your Bondi Beach serviced apartments.

Find your zen
If you love a more peaceful workout, Sydney has some of the top yoga, Pilates and tai chi workshops available, from the city right through to Bondi’s beachy vibes. On the other hand, a great way to explore the Botanic Gardens is through one of their free daily guided walks that run every day of the year except around Christmas.

Find the perfect sports massage

Perhaps you need a high quality massage to prepare your muscles for the City2Surf, or you might simply be looking for a way to relax after your 10km run. It’s not hard to find the best massage in Sydney as there is a variety of top options close to the CBD specialising in sport and deep tissue massage.
