Spot the deliberate mistakes. I've visited many gyms around the world, but this is the first time I've seen this. 😄

Just completed a Body Balance-style class in Latvian. 😊 Currently, every single branch of this gym chain can be tried once for €3. There are quite a few to get through. 😅

GlobalGymBunny - how it started...

It began with a passion for fitness.

As a teenager, I discovered gyms, weight-training, aerobics, step classes, circuit-training and a number of other group fitness classes. I loved the buzz of exercise and its positive effects on my body, a lifestyle which has stayed with me over the past twenty years and led me into a career as an Osteopath in 2014.

At the beginning of 2017 I knew I wanted to travel extensively, see the world, and decided to quit the day jobs and take off. Gulp. I had one main concern about leaving the UK and commencing a trip that I hoped would last at least a year – how would I keep fit whilst travelling?

As someone who trained 5-6 times per week, every week (often taking fitness-related holidays when I did go away), my main fears about leaving home and life as I knew it were not related to culture-shock or homesickness, but instead, how would I continue my current level of fitness, weight and muscle mass?

This wasn’t just about keeping slim, I’d also spent years weight-training for both strength and endurance. I didn’t achieve the ability to do full range pull-ups overnight and I wasn’t going to throw it in now. If I couldn’t find a way to maintain and build on my fitness, I feared I’d lose my motivation, stop enjoying travelling and end up back home after a couple of months – or alternatively a year later, 20kg heavier. These were not options for me.

I decided to form good habits early on. How? By making that commitment to myself from day one and sticking to it.

If there’s a gym in the vicinity, I find it. I train a minimum of five days a week, in a gym if available and in my budget. If not, I’ll find other means of keeping fit. Each time I reach a new location, I vet the area for gyms and check out their facilities and cost. With many gyms aiming their membership rates at residents, tying them into contracts with joining fees, I find out which gyms are willing to cater for a traveller on a budget – knowledge I am sharing now on my website.

Ultimately, from day one I have been committed to my fitness and two years later, I’m very happy to say I’m still travelling and still keeping fit around the globe!
