Working out Sydney style

So as most of you know, I like to go the gym every now and then. The first two weeks we arrived in Sydney we stayed at the York Apartments. Naturally the first thing I do upon arriving at a new place is go check out the gym.

First off I am excited that they even have a gym. But my hopes die down quickly as I go check the place out. The only thing in the "gym" is a rusty universal piece of equipment. Lucky for me I had a similar piece of equipment in my garage growing up. Awww the memories. This archaic universal gym will only do so much. So the search for my new gym begins.

I should add a bit a background to this story. In the U.S. I belong to 24 Fitness and was able to secure a ridiculous rate of $4 a month. Now I know this is an absurd price but I paid three years in advance to get this rate for the rest of my life.

Fast forward back to my gym search in Sydney. I find out that my work give a discount on gym memberships to a place called Fitness First. The price, wait for it ......... $90 a month. Thank you Australia for another overpriced luxury that I can't live with out.

So I naturally join the gym and the place is very nice. Some differences that were a bit of a shock are having weights measured in kilos not pounds. However the major difference is the music that is played in the gym. The song list can go from Michael Jackson to Daft Punk to Beyonce to some random 80's person I have never heard of. Definitely more unique then the U.S.

Anyways Cat and I miss everyone. Hope some of you can make it over to visit.

Oh and the views from the gym aren't to bad :)
