Having both worked here as an employee as well as having worked out with several of the members…read more(including taking many classes), I've become a huge fan of this health club. While most would call it a gym, it's overall culture, belief structure, and classes heavily focusing on working out the mind, body, and soul makes me keen to write this review. Being an expat in Byron and recognizing just how small of a town this is (especially on a bicycle), I was very pleased with the location of H&S as well as the 24/7 access to the facilities. What I especially love are the yoga classes that are offered seven days a week, usually two times a day. While I know the ins and outs of memberships - on a personal level - I feel like Heart and Soul offers the best yoga classes in town with some of the most genuine, true-to-practice teachers. Sydoni, Shane, and Chris (the teachers who I personally experienced) are all experts having practiced and perfected their teaching for years and years. Plus, depending on the membership you purchase, you can easily get all the gym and yoga classes for a cheap weekly rate (which I feel definitely works in your favor compared to some yoga-only studios in the area that makes a killing off your wallet). I love the 6:30am classes with Shane because he knows how to incorporate a routine that runs evenly with the earliness of the class. His gentle-nature makes him a great candidate for experienced yogis as well as beginners looking to get into yoga. Chris does a restorative practice for an hour and a half on Sundays and makes the class very interactive and fun, often cracking jokes and giving us the confidence to try handstands and other positions we may not have the courage to attempt on our own. And Sydoni is just a beautiful gem. A strong asset to H&S, she burns incense and calmly walks her class through each position which gives it more of consistent flow with breathing techniques to enhance our experience. She coaches us to release the toxins from our mind and helps us enjoy a meditative state at the very end of class (as do the rest of teachers). The gym itself has everything you need. Dumbbells, cardio, pin-loading equipment, and stationary bikes with dvd spin classes available to all members. I think the philosophy here incorporates much more than your standard, run of the mill gym. There is clearly an extreme care and love that has gone into Heart and Soul, and I truly suggest (as an honest Yelp'er) that you check this place out during your stay in Byron.

Yes! A great local gym which offers holiday memberships! Perfect location in town, even with a…read morecoffee shop right next door. 24hr access and all the machines and weights you need to do a great workout. Fair price for a short term membership so I'm very happy. What I especially like about this gym is the community feel of it. The owner is super friendly and knows all his members and the trainers were super friendly too. After my first workout I felt like part of the community with some new friends in town. There was a real friendly vibe in the gym with good tunes playing. This would be a great gym to join long term if I lived here, but I'll just enjoy it while in town for the week!

An excellent place to chill if the surf is too rough. It's located across the road from seven mile…read morebeach in Lennox. The lake itself is a natural lake, the stunning part is that the trees surrounding the lake have seeped their oils into the water making the water coco-cola coloured and thus the locals refer to it as the coco-cola lake. Extremely safe for swimming and mucking about in the water. Bring along a surf ski or a stand up paddle board and have a paddle. The water is cool and there's plenty of shade along the shore. Only down side is that the park is an alcohol free zone until March this year. Unsure why. Definitely go and check this stunning place out.

There is sort of something about the beach down at Byron Bay that seems to attract anybody and…read moreeverybody. Well, not quite because there is a sort of person that seems to like this particular beach, and they are probably the young, or the young at heart. As for me, well, I wouldn't necessarily consider it to me one of those beaches that really grabs my attention. I was okay, but then again I'm not really a beachy sort of person.

Byron Bay . . . how long have you got?…read more Depending on who you ask, Byron is either Heaven, or Heaven. Everyone loves it sick, bro, in fact there's very little not to like. The backpackers? The prices? Yes, and sure, but compared to avalanche of good things about this place, these pale into insignificance. Now, I'm a beach-goer of some 30-odd years experience, and this might very well be the most epic and welcoming beach in Australia. Split by a rock wall there's one huge flat swimmers paradise to the right, and to the left a shipwreck and a surfing Valhalla. Don't even get me started on Wategos. Sit on the grassy hill and watch the giant martian moon come up after sunset and hang over the beach like a glowing spaceship. Sip wine. Strum a guitar. Smoke bongs. Whatever your pleasure, it's pretty much game on at Byron. Love. Love love love. In the words of an American colleague in her truly awful Australian accent: "Bist ivva!"

It is a wonderful place, with wonderful people in a wonderful part of Australia. The views from the air are magic every time. In winter you get to see whales on some days from the air and the views can go on and on all the way to Brisbane. The instructors are so professional so if you are doing a Tandem rest assured you are in great hands. If you are there when the owner is there be prepared for even more fun as he puts an even bigger smile on everyone's face on the plane. This is such a special place for me and everyone who I have ever recommended to go and do a Tandem there has loved it.
