Eight indoor ways to keep fit (that aren’t the gym)

Posted on 4 January, 2018

We’re well into the thick of summer, and more likely than not the last thing you feel like doing is slogging out a workout in the summer sun – or a sweaty gym.

Don’t let the heat get the better of your fitness, there are plenty of options around town that you can go to workout sans sunburn or heatstroke.

Even if you’re the most hardcore of gym bunnies, it certainly doesn’t hurt to mix up your routine and challenge your body in a fresh new way.
