If there is one city that goes above and beyond to make the Under Armour Turf Games crew feel welcome it's Sydney.
Last week saw our second Under Armour Turf Games competition and first Summer Festival in Australia and once again we were blown away by the support we received from the fitness community.
A week of workouts, beach swims, recovery sessions, seeing the sights and eating was topped off with an epic Ashes of Fitness Battle at 98 Gym, and a Turf Games competition that saw 50 teams go head to head in a series of killer workouts at the awesome Chocolate Box Training space.

Thank you to everyone that competed from Australia, and to the UK teams that flew out to take part. Thank you to all the spectators for showing their support to us and the athletes, and to all those that turned up to help and judge on the day.
We are also beyond grateful to our partners Under Armour, Alphafit, Mobot, Red Bull Australia and vendors Blue Dinosaur, Convict Coffee, My Muscle Chef and Aqualove.
Here's a little recap on what the Under Armour Turf Games crew got up to last week and a few recommendations if you're headed Sydney side.

To Do
Take the ferry from Circular Quay to Manly to capture all the sites from the water. Do the Bondi to Bronte walk/run. Get up early (6am - jet lag makes this easy) and head down to Bondi and take in the Aussie active lifestyle vibes. The beach is packed with people of all ages, running, swimming, playing touch footy, bootcamps and just being active.
That's a wrap from the 2019 Under Armour Turf Games down under... we can't wait to be back bigger and even better next year for more fun in the Sydney sun.
