Where the gyms are
The gyms spread across the Northern Beaches corridor and extend north into the Central Coast.
CrossFit Avalon Beach is the sole affiliate located directly in Avalon Beach. It serves athletes at the northern tip of the peninsula.
Further south along the coast, training options cluster around major hubs:
- Chocolate Box Training operates in North Narrabeen and offers another Northern Beaches facility.
- Be Athletic is located in Brookvale, close to commercial centers and bus corridors.
- North Head Fitness sits near Manly at the southern edge of the Northern Beaches.
Inland, Wellbeing HQ operates in Belrose. Across Broken Bay to the north, CrossFit Encircle is located in Woy Woy on the Central Coast.
Travel along the coastline relies primarily on Barrenjoey Road and Pittwater Road. The B-Line express bus runs along the main road corridor between Mona Vale and the Sydney CBD. Reaching Avalon Beach, Belrose, or Woy Woy requires private transport, local connecting buses, or passenger ferries across Pittwater.
