South Yarra Sport Centre

Are you feeling the bulge? I definitely am! I realised it was time to head to the gym because all this eating (I love it so) is making me feel bad. The South Yarra Sports Centre (SYSC) was my first choice because it’s so conveniently located.
However, I went on two occasions to attend the Pilates class — the first time, the instructor had gone on holiday. There was no mention of this on the website so it ended up being a wasted trip. The guy at the gym did offer us free use of the equipment however. The second visit the week after — the Pilates instructor decided not to come back so the class was cancelled! Another wasted trip.
But besides that, this gym is extremely well-​equipped with lots of cardio machines like treadmills, cross trainers, arc trainers and spin bikes. It also has no nonsense weights equipment for muscle buffs. Albeit a little dimly-​lit for my liking, it does have state of the art equipment and occupies a large space. Just keep in mind that the boys from Melbourne High use the premises as well so daytime workouts can be a little busy.
SYSC also has a 25 metre, 8 lane pool, an indoor stadium (for basketball, badminton, volleyball and indoor soccer), netball and tennis courts.
