Looking for a local fitness buddy

Hey all,
As you may have seen in the location thread, I'm living in Meadowbank, Sydney, but working in Penrith. This creates a lot of challenges for me, particularly when it comes to finding time to exercise. I find by the time I come home from work, I'm too tired to exercise, unless I have a reason to do it (eg someone is waiting on me to come with them). So, I'm looking for a fitness buddy. If you go to V and R Fitness, even better, since my membership is for there. Otherwise if you want to walk beside the river and do some work down at the park, that's good too.
Reply if you're interested! Maybe if we find enough people nearby, we could get one of the boot camp groups to set up a class here and really make it worth our while!

why don't you ask someone that you work with to go for a walk with you.0

I wouldn't mind one of these too! I need someone to spot me at the gym. I live in Brisbane though0
-
mmk, I'd love to, but unfortunately none of them have the time. And it would be easier for it to be someone closer to home rather than work. Yes, I'm being difficult. :-)
HonkyTonks, good luck. Hope you find somebody. :-)0 -
Which gym???I wouldn't mind one of these too! I need someone to spot me at the gym. I live in Brisbane though

I'm at Jetts these days, in Goodna, but probably going to change because they have no classes and I need some Les Mills in my life!0
-
Poo, I'm with Snap (at Forest Lake) - they have some classes, but no les mills

I go to Jetts, sometimes booval and sometimes Jindalee and Taringa. I love being able to go after my little one has gone to sleep and when there are no boys in the gym. Ima stick with it 0

I used to live at Forest Lake. Snap Fitness replaced Total Fitness Forest Lake... I think my old PT works there - Liam. He is quite good (as far as PTs go). Otherwise running around the lake used to be my favourite thing to do... I am back up there for Xmas/New Years and late January as well so will look at running around the lake a fair bit then... or attempt to get a casual pass to Snap (but don't think they do casual visits)...0
-
Aww, your trainer must've moved on as there's no Liam at snap.. I don't think they do casual passes but you can always "try it for free" because, yanno, you're trying to work out what gym to join. 0
-
haha true... otherwise I'll have to go to FLF but it's always so busy there... grrrr... Damn... Not sure where Liam is anymore then sorry. can't offer you can other advice with FL stuff. I'm hoping I can get some good runs in around the lake and see how my fitness is going xmas is a bad time to try and get fit and healthy.. all this yummy food!!! 0

Gosh all you ladies live so close to me!!
I used to live in Forest Lake, used to go to FLF, but I now live in Redbank Plains.....there is a gym 2 minutes from me on Redbank Plains Rd.
Honky Tonk, if we are so close, we should walk together! I am not a member of a gym, don't have the money to be honest!0 -
Roblyssa, Lifestyle? There's a good chance i'll be moving right nearby and changing gyms 0

Too bad I'm a guy !0

Never been there though.

A pool would be awesome, I'd love to incorporate swimming into my fitness routine. I am definitely going to look into Lifestyles And I miss Body Pump, Body Combat & Body Step a lot, love to do it again 0 -
In Feb I'll start working out at Penrith.0
-
I might check out the 24 hour aspect of that gym.
That would be handy, but I won't tend to go on my own. :blushing:0 -
Roblyssa, depending on your workout times/routine, I can come with you from late Feb (Def moving now!!!) - pending me checking out the gym first. 0

I work & live in Penrith!!! I go to the Fernwood gym in Penrith but would love a walking buddy or something on the days i don't feel like going to the gym. Send me a message if you want to catch up sometime!
I have just moved to the area from the country so it would be awesome to start making some local friends too

I looked into the gym last night on the web....$14.50 per week or $16.50 for 24/7 access.
Whether I join the gym or not, it'll be great to meet you and perhaps set some walking dates in the area.
:drinker:
