Probably one of my favorite beaches in Sydney. During my semester abroad way back when I'd enjoy…read morestrolling through Manly all the way to lesser known Freshwater beach. Sometimes I head through the lovely cliff side neighborhoods just walk along the cliff. I'd often find my self hanging out here for hours. Sometimes at the beach or sitting on the cliffs studying for school. There's a special connection to this beach to where I currently live in Hawaii. This is where Duke Kahanamoku, Olympian, politician, surfer, spreader of Aloha introduced Surfing to Australia. Inside the Freshwater Surf Life Saving Club there is a little memorial for the Duke with pictures, trophies, and his original wooden board he took to Australia. If you head up the stairs above the salt water pool there is an overgrown little park with a statue of the Duke Kahanamoku surfing on a boulder facing Freshwater beach. It's definitely a cool spot for anyone visiting from Hawaii. It's a great beach too with dramatic picturesque landscape. Ideally probably one of my top dream Neighborhoods to reside one day.

After 10 years loyalty to Fitness First there was a need for a change however determining a gym or…read moresports club to attend is time consuming when thinking of cost, style of gym, trainers, equipment and other logistics. With the intention of fulfilling the mission to trial several in the local area and writing/reviewing for Yelp, I have only managed to get to Joe's Garage Gym. Here is why? Joe's Garage Gym is straightforward. Small group fitness training that is intense, rewarding and where you are always learning new skills. There are four types of fitness classes that can be easily booked online which are Cardio training, Conditioning, Strength training and boxing. These classes rotate weekly. The gym community is unique to Joe's Garage Gym and the fitter members in the gym are encouraging and not intimidating which makes for a good culture and gym environment. There are also classes for kids. Joe Bonington is hands on with every aspect of his gym and provides a wealth of experience in Nutrition, Health and Fitness. He is a presenter, facilitator, public speaker and leadership coach and has a network of fitness industry contacts that can assure you to meet all your health and fitness goals.Si Bennett is his Strength and Conditioning coach and certified Power/Weightlifting and Boxing coach. Both are personable and love seeing you progress with results as much as you do. Trek and Altitude training and Personal training is also conducted at Joe's Garage Gym and since being there I have witness members undertaking Ultra marathons, a Kilimanjaro trek and presently a fellow gym member is racing across the North Pole. Yes I have yet to experience and review Xtend Barre in Mosman, Lift of Flight in Balgowlah. I guess Ive been too happy with what I now call my Gym.

I was made to feel like i belonged from the get go. The coaches are dedicated, friendly, enthusiastic and FIT. They have the ability to read and assess each member individually and program and coach according to this. You just dont get this anywhere else. The variety of workouts is what will keep you going back. In the 1 1/2 years i have been attending i cant remember doing the same workout twice. Variety, working different muscle groups, high intensity, short duration- these are the elements that get results. I was never a really big person, but i loss 7 kgs, developed muscle tone and finally have a sense of pride about the way i look. I have never felt like this before. Whether you are just looking to get fit, learn to be able to lift weight, climbs ropes, double under, triple under, muscle up, kip, back flip, handstand walk or go to the world championships i would hands down recommend CrossFit Brookvale. Join the family.

I don't know about you but I am not a fan of a gym that doesn't feel open so that is probably why…read moreDee Why Fitness First is my favourite of all the Fitness First gyms. It isn't even in my local area but I make an effort to get there when I can. The gym is built around a pool so the whole ambience is very airy and light. The windows make up one whole side of the gym so you can see outside which is really nice, even though the view isn't that great. As an added bonus the staff here are very friendly plus the gym is never too busy - this place is the way forward!

This is one of the best aquarium shops I've been too. There are loads of well stocked tanks with a…read morehuge variety to chose from. The shop also makes tanks to order and has some pretty cool custom tanks on display ready to buy. The staff are knowledgable and very friendly. On two occasions I've been into the store with a hundred questions and two menacing toddlers who like to put grubby hand prints all over the tanks which would put any aquarium shop employee in a bad mood however not these guys! In addition to all the live stock they also carry dry and frozen foods and dry stock including pumps, filters, breeder boxes, water treatments and the list goes on. They will price match and are slightly more expensive than some of the bigger pet shops so do a bit of price research before purchasing dry stock.
