if you wanna meet some contacts and use great equipment you should maybe adventure there. they also have a boxing ring with classes. if you ever wanna do figure competing there's an excellent trainer there who competes herself called Ellena Reidie/Tsatsos

gorgeous! i guess you may have seen it already but Doherty's in Brunswick is a great gym. I only visited from when I lived in Adelaide so sorry but don't know any vegans there...x

Cheers Robert, I'm growing out the top though I'll need a new one soon hehe. How could I not support this? 'Vegan fitness built naturally' was a great show and extremely motivating Can't wait to see 'Vegan brothers in iron'!

haha, I'm on a uni exchange for a year from Manchester got 3 months left

Hey everyone! This is my 2nd year of serious fitness after 6.5 years of amazing veganism. Have always toyed around with lifting but am now able to get into the gym 5-6 days a week; stoked! Usually do 3 cardio sessions a week - circuit training/body combat/body attack/running/swimming/core classes And 4 days of weights a week. Low reps with as many kg as possible. Aim is = jacked! Slowly putting on more weight (am 6'1 and 69kgs) but need to pay more attention to diet. Just trying to eat enough and include shakes. Doing 'tough mudder' in November when I return to the UK to finish my ecology degree and 'tough guy' in january...

Where abouts in Aus Grant? I'm an edge lass too Good luck on your journey!
