Every time I've convinced myself I'll get into a particular sport or hobby, I've come to Rebel…read moreSport on Queen St to buy my gear. I've picked up swimwear, goggles, ear plugs, roller blades, an exercise ball, and a yoga mat from Rebel Sport, and I haven't had trouble with any of them so far! There's also a huge range of sportswear and runners - my friend picked up some great Nike joggers. The staff are helpful and are happy to give you a lowdown on the products on offer. The store is massive so sometimes it can be difficult to locate what you're after, so don't hesitate to ask. And don't be afraid to give some of their products a try. Often they'll have a display version - for example, I wanted to try out some rollerblades and had a bit of a blade around the cycling section of the store. The staff didn't bat an eyelid. Rebel Sport also offers store membership, and you receive a voucher upon signing up.

My favourite place to buy work out clothes!! Always a great fit…read more I have been a lululemon fan for years and the James street store is great. While the price tag may look like its expensive I have pants and tops that are over 5 years old and still look brand new. The staff are all friendly and helpful. And don't forget the weekly free yoga classes. Make sure to get there early they can get crowded on Sunday mornings. They have a run club on Wednesday I have wanted to try, maybe this week.

There is nothing more intimidating to me than walking past a…read morestore stuffed with yoga mats and exercise costumes. (I instinctively suck in the gut when I go into these types of places.) Lululemon is one such athletic store that is tucked away on James St, plain and boring I hardly felt inspired to salute to the sun or jog 'round the block. This store sells sports bras, tanks, tops, shorts, jackets, hoodies and various athletic paraphernalia. (Essentially every thing you might need for yoga and exercisings.) But despite the range on hand, the clothes here are pretty plain for the price tags I saw. While the location and sales staff are lovely, I'd go elsewhere for my jogging garments.

The cafe does 'healthy' options including salads, wraps, juices, smoothies and has the buzz words including acai, chia, coconut, oats etc on the menu. I had a salad from the cafe - they are made off site and bought in but are fresh and filling enough. I've also taken an express class in the workout room for the bargain price of $2. These are 30 minute lunch time classes and are well patronised. The details aren't on their website so you'll have to pick up the timetable from the shop.

I admit I'm not the most athletic kid on my block but with…read morethe inevitable coming of the new year, I somehow found myself on James St comparing jogging shorts and sports bras. And what better place to fulfil those New Years Resolutions than the huge Lorna Jane store in the Valley. This place oozes health and vitality, and the sight of such good looking sportswear fills me with hope Maybe these will be my new yoga pants? Oh and those shorts would be perfect for jogging. (I felt lighter just thinking about it.) Be sure to also check out their awesome and gravity defying sports bras. (The right fit really makes all the difference in running.) With helpful and knowledgable staff to steer you in the right direction, I recommend giving Lorna Jane a go.
