(upbeat, energetic music) Hi everyone, my name’s Peter Nevill. I’m the wicket-keeper for the Australian and New South Wales Blues cricket teams, and a fitness enthusiast. Today, we’ll be exploring all the different ways you can get fit and healthy in Kensington. From capoerira to crossfit, Kensington has everything you need to get your body in shape for summer. Let’s do it! (upbeat, energetic music) My first stop is the University of New South Wales fitness and aquatic centre. Even though it’s on the Uni grounds, it’s still open to the public. Their facilities are top-notch, plus there’s a fully heated indoor swimming pool. I talked to David, one of the trainers, to find out the best ways to work out. – What you’d want to do is a variety of things, obviously including your cardio, which is anything that’s going to get your heart rate elevated, but also adding in some resistance training. – Next stop is Legends Gym.

Alongside your typical weights and cardio machines, they have plenty of martial arts classes like Muay Thai, boxing, and capoeira. I had a chat to Chris, the owner, about what makes this place unique. – I think it’s the mix between the weights and the martial arts. It’s a good combination, and the diversity gives you more options. I think that’s the difference between our gym and most other gyms. Right nearby is Ansak Parade Physiotherapy, If you’re training hard and coming up against some muscle soreness, stiff joints, or a niggling injury, you should definitely check them out. Last stop is Atlantic Crossfit. Crossfit is a fitness phenomenon that’s been taking over the world. It figures a whole bunch a movements from gymnastics to weightlifting. I spoke with Carrie, one of the trainers, on how Atlantic Crossfit has been transforming people’s lives. – We take fully functional movements that you use in your everyday life, like a squat, a lift, a push, and a pull, and we turn it into fun, and exciting, and constantly varied activities that’ll get you ready for summer.

– As you can see, there are so many different ways to get your body looking good this summer. Whether you want to hit the gym or mix it up with some martial arts training, you can find it Kensington. Just be mindful that there is some construction going on, but Kensington is still open for business. So pack your gym pack, grab your trainers, and get ready to live it up locally. .
