Dog Friendly Workouts – Melbourne

We’ve all walked the tan with our pooches more times than we can count, so if you're feeling the motivation dwindling as we enter the cooler months, this might just be the push you need to turn up the heat and get back in the studio. We’ve scouted Melbourne to find the best dog-friendly gyms and studios - any studio where our favourite four legged workout buddies can tag along is a big yes from us!
