Have you set a new year’s resolution to be more active in 2023? There’s nothing like the start of a new year to get us thinking about what we want to achieve. 

If you’re looking for fun ways to start your new fitness routine, we’ve got you covered with these seven ideas.

1. Access a free pass for Manly Fitness and Aquatic Centre

Take advantage of our free 5 day Swim and Gym pass* at Manly Fitness and Aquatic Centre. You’ll get access to our world class gym, pools, group fitness and aquatic classes, and our spa, steam and sauna at no cost. Contact the team today to access your pass.

* Valid for Northern Beaches residents over the age of 16 years.

2. Get a coach in your corner

If you’re looking for someone who can help you to stay motivated and reach your fitness goals, work out with a personal trainer at Manly Fitness and Aquatic Centre. They can tailor a program that works for you at a time that suits you. Make an enquiry today.

3. Exercise outdoors

Improve your fitness on the free outdoor exercise equipment. Many of our local parks and reserves have equipment for exercises such as push/pull ups, sit ups, arm combos, leg press, shoulder press and even step machines.

4. Stay cool in the pool

Swimming laps at the Manly or Warringah Aquatic Centres is a great way to stay cool and exercise this summer. If you need extra motivation while you’re there, join in one of our casual adult swim programs or aqua aerobics classes.

5. Set a goal by signing up for the Sun Run

Challenge yourself to a 7km or 10km fun run (or walk!) from Dee Why to Manly Beach on Saturday 4 February. You can do it on your own or with friends, family or colleagues. Enter now.

6. Enjoy our walking trails

Whether it’s a long trek through nature or a casual stroll along our coastline, there are walks to suit everyone on the Northern Beaches. Find a walk to suit you.

7. Swap your car for your bike

It’s fun, free and a great way to meet your fitness goals for 2023. From short trips through our neighbourhoods to mountain biking trails, the Northern Beaches has bike tracks and suggested routes for riders of all levels.
