Best gyms in Sydney

Best for: Those who need their space to look good if they're going to turn up

This gym began as a humble local fitness space but, following multi-million-dollar redevelopments, it's transformed into one of the world's most epic health and wellness facilities, with an ethereal greeny-blue and white palette gives you the sense that you’re training in the clouds. Even all the custom-designed equipment is white. There's a DJ booth perched over the One Playground Newtown space, which syncs up with a huge grid of lighting that can change colours and pulse to the beat of each tune, and makes it look like more nightclub than fitness centre. So yes, it looks swish, but memberships for One Playground (which give you access to One Playground Surry Hills, Marrickville and Newtown, and the 400 or so classes that run across the clubs) are ridiculously affordable.
