Are the people of New Zealand into fitness? |
Travel Info I am an avid fitness guru, and also a fitness instructor, along with being a legal secretary. I want to move to an area that has available gyms and is fitness oriented. Where would you suggest? Travel Tips I'm guessing you're going to NZ, not Perth? Kiwis are hugely into fitness (well, some of us) - you can take great advantage of the outdoorsy lifestyle and get into mountain-biking, climbing, tramping, caving, surfing, windsurfing, or if it's straight fitness you should definitely go to Les Mills (syndicated gym). It's a bit on the pretentious side sometimes, but it's very very good. Thousands of gyms worldwide pay top dollar for permission to use their fitness programs. If you DID want to go to Perth, firstly it's full of Kiwis. Secondly, fitness first teaches the Les Mills classes. Only big prob is that none of the fitness first gyms run ENOUGH of the classes. Enjoy NZ. We rock. Others totally What has this got to do with Perth? I've rarely seen more sports-obsessed people than here in NZ, and they are very fit. But most seem to be that way because they do things like rowing, hiking, walking huge distances daily, working in the garden like mad, playing Ruby, or cycling. There are gyms, of course. But what for when you can do all those things out in a landscape that really beats staring at a reflection in a 2x2 mirror? Any NZ-city will do. The world-wide jogging craze was started by the late, great Arthur Lydiard, who coached Peter Snell (Olympic gold medallist in middle distance running) among many others. Yes, Kiwis are into fitness - anywhere, anyhow. Any town or city will do - come on over! Live here. My home town (population 2600) has a gym owned and run by an All Black. |
