There’s no shortage of Lycra clad yummy mummies in the East. You know the kind: Missoni Bugaboo pushing, Lululemon wearing, Range Rover driving types. And it seems they’re all heading in one direction – to The Athletic Club.
Follow their petite tracks to Bondi Junction and enter the super stylish luxe fitness centre. Catch a glance of yourself in the reflection of the impressive glass entrance (perhaps purpose-built for extra motivation… who looks good in Lycra, anyway?) and move swiftly to one of the state of the art machines or modern group training rooms.
Spectrophobia sufferers be warned! Treadmills are placed in front of cut glass mirrors and you’ll catch your reflection from every angle in the modern spin room. The ‘Brand Ambassadors’ among us will appreciate the attention to detail in branded water bottles, and colour-coded workout towels and workout rooms.
Now, to the sweaty end of business. Get the heart rate going with Athletic Cycle, limber up in a Kinesis class or release pent-up frustrations in a Fight Fit boxing class. Whatever it is, you’ll be guided by some pretty spunky instructors with the kind of enthusiasm you wish you woke up with.
Say goodbye to tortoise-speed treadmill workouts with your own electronic ‘Wellness Key’ which contains personalised workout programs, tells you how fast to run, when to add hills, how much weight to lift, all while keeping track of your progress and workout history.
Learn to love your reflection at The Athletic Club.
