Heat and climate
Be Athletic City is the one gym with full air conditioning. It is a basement space in the CBD, so it suits a summer session when you want to stay cool.
Several gyms open early. G-Force CrossFit opens at 5:00 AM Monday to Thursday, and CrossFit Sydney runs a 05:00 class on weekdays. In hot weather, an early class is the easiest way to beat the heat.
For recovery after a session, G-Force CrossFit has a sauna and ice bath. CFH Fitness has a cold plunge and infrared sauna. Botany Fitness has an ice bath, sauna and recovery room. Hive Active has an infrared sauna and massage.
