Avotherapy

Overview

It's no obscure fact that Aussies love avocados — we've seen cafes, festivals and pop-up tiny homes dedicated to the fruit, and, on average, we each consume 3.5 kilos of avocado a year. To further celebrate the green goo we're all smashing on toast every day, a whole weekend of  free "avocado wellness" is coming to Paramount Recreation Club.

What does avocado wellness entail, you ask? Good question. The event — which will be hosted on the Surry Hills rooftop gym and run by Australian Avocados — will see a series of exercise classes, workshops and facials run across the weekend of October 12–13. And they're all free. 

The half-hour classes will be a mixture of cardio and yoga, and even include a post-workout smoothie. It's a good way to test out one of Paramount's classes for free — a regular casual class costs $35. Then you can treat yourself to an avocado facial or learn some handy hacks for storing and eating them.

Activities will run from 9am–4pm each day — while everything is free, you'll need to register for the talks and fitness classes as spaces are limited. If you're keen to hang around, the Paramount kiosk will be selling special avo-laden brunches throughout the day, too.
