Welcome to a new world of working out; goodbye to the same gym and classes each day. With GuavaPass you can reinvent your gym routine and try something new. Pole dancing anyone?

I took it upon myself to embark on a journey of new fitness discovery. Note: I am a healthy 5’9”, size 8-10. I run, I do weights, and I am known to be the queen of aerobics and boxing mixed together. So for me, it was time to mix things up a bit.

HELLO Guava Pass

A membership like no other, no gym the same, therefore no work out I had had in the past. It has over 65 different gyms and a plethora of uniquely styled classes for you to try!

I avoid Yoga and Pilates like the plague; I have the flexibility of an 80-year-old, and so I set my goal – to seek out Yoga and Pilates, with a touch of cardio, too! Let’s see how this body does.

Pilates was targeted first – I jumped onto the GuavaPass website and scoured the huge class list to find something close to me (I live, work and play in the CBD). With a studio literally down the road, I marched on over feeling excited and honestly, “bring it on, this won’t break a sweat, I am fit!” Well, I suffered. I always thought I was strong and had a great core. It turns out, it HURT. I used muscles I hadn’t used before and I walked out feeling like I had truly done an intense weights work out. I didn’t need that sweat-a-thon feeling to know this had worked!

Next day, I hit up YOGA (Avante Yoga), something I have avoided forever. All I can say is that I tried. But you know what, so did everyone else. You can tell there was a mix of seasoned yogis and others just like me, trying their best. The best thing about the class was the instructor, Diana. She really motivates you to stretch and push harder. After the class, she gave me some tips on how to improve my flexibility and also showed me the large selection of classes I might like to try that will be easier for my next visit.

By Saturday, it was time to SWEAT and there’s nowhere else that can make you sweat like CRU Cycle – there are no words. What an exhilarating, intense and hard work out! A 50-minute ride that crushed my legs and arms! With an awesome mix of cycling and hand weights, this is an all over workout – A MUST-DO!

A New Week

Yoga again on Monday, and you won’t believe it… yoga again on Tuesday! With GuavaPass having classes all over the CBD, I was lucky to visit another two new places!

Well, well, now who likes yoga? My hamstrings are stretched beyond my belief and finally for the first time in YEARS, possibly since childhood, I touched my toes. I was so thrilled!!! I continued more yoga throughout the week on top of my running. I have found so many fantastic places to practice yoga and I’m starting to love it!

So after 10 days, I feel grateful for all the new experiences, gyms and, studios I have visited! I cannot wait to keep exploring in the next few weeks! Stay tuned for the next update on more studios and their unique styles!
