For a growing number of Australians, training isn't something they stop when they go on holiday. It's part of who they are. They pack their runners, look up the nearest gym before they book, and feel out of sorts after a week without a workout.
Fitness is a big part of Australian life
Sport Australia's AusPlay survey lists fitness and gym as one of the most popular physical activities for Australian adults, with an estimated 3.86 million men aged 15 and over taking part, and physical health or fitness as the top reason people are active (AusPlay, October 2023).
Those people don't stop being active when they travel. Wellness travel is growing fast too: the Global Wellness Institute valued wellness tourism at US$720 billion in 2019 and forecast it to reach US$1.3 trillion by 2025 (Global Wellness Institute).
Who's looking for a workout on the road
Grey nomads and long-stay guests who want to keep their strength and mobility up over weeks or months away.
Families where one or both parents train before the kids wake up.
Working travellers and fly-in fly-out workers who need a routine wherever they stay.
Couples on active holidays who plan trips around walking, cycling and staying fit.
What they're looking for
Most don't need a full commercial gym. They want somewhere to do the basics: squats, pull-ups, push-ups, dips, a bit of core and stretching, and ideally some shade. An outdoor gym structure covers all of that, available whenever guests want it.
