If you want body-beautiful then head to the Eastern suburbs, if you want clubby, head to Paddington, and if you want chilled then head north. There are festivals every weekend, sports activities every day, and fitness bootcamps in the morning and evenings. There are no excuses for being a couch potato when living in Sydney.
