Aries (March 21 – April 19)
“Aries are very energetic. With so much pent up energy, Aries are not at all likely to be seen schmoozing at the gym. They’re in, they’re sweating and they’re out. We recommend targeting that vitality at the cross-trainer before attempting a more sociable workout.”
Aries Workout: Cross – trainer
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
“The Taurus is calm and collected. You don’t rush head first into a workout – you do your research first: ‘What is this actually doing to my body?’. Many signs have a lot to learn from you, so why not use your patience to someone else’s advantage and help them perfect their technique.”
Taurus Workout: The personal trainer – Set your own goals
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
“Geminis are quick-witted and sure footed. They know what they’re doing in the gym and don’t hold back on letting others know it! Geminis will spend a lot of time searching for their swole-mate until they find their equal. Head over to the weight section and you might just find the ‘spotter’ to your bench press.”
Gemini Workout: Kettlebells
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
“Cancers are extremely loyal and very in tune with their emotions. You can easily sense the emotions and energy of others, which can sometimes overwhelm you. Stay calm and find your inner zen (and everyone else’s) at a relaxing yoga class.”
Cancer Workout: Yoga
Leo (July 23 – August 22)
“Leos are a pretty hot topic in the gym. Usually the life of the party, Leo’s roam around the gym looking for the next exciting thing. Although you chop and change, never settling for second best, one thing is constant – Searching for that fiery burn!”
Leo Workout: Treadmill – Feel the burn!
Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
“Virgos are perfectionists and very methodical. They know what they need to do to succeed and will rarely fall off the wagon. As a Virgo, you maintain your health by any means possible, be it exercise, nutrition or both. Sometimes you need someone to take your mind off yourself. Let someone else take the reigns for once and try a fitness class!”
Virgo Workout: Dance based class – Let loose!
Libra (September 23 – October 22)
“Libras are very romantic. They are the sign of partnership and balance, and they work better when they have someone else to motivate them. Why not look for your swole mate at the “bar” to support, balance and inspire you”
Libra Workout: Barbell
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
“Scorpios are known for their intensity and *cough* high sex drive. They’re constantly looking for that next adrenalin rush, wanting to challenge their bodies further and further. Use that intensity to your advantage with HIIT and Tabata training – you might just meet your match in the gym … and the bedroom”
Scorpio Workout: HIIT
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
“Sagittarians are known for their athleticism. Whether that’s biking, hiking, swimming or dancing, you name it, the Sagittarius will do it – and do it well. With a great sense of humour, you’re the perfect gym buddy, spurring on yourself and your mates with optimism and enthusiasm. We like what we see. Keep up the good work!”
Sagittarians Workout: Spinning Class – Go the distance!
Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
“Capricorns are known for their discipline and self-control. In the gym world, this means that Capricorns are dedicated to meeting their fitness goals. Other signs could learn a lot from you, although many find your commitment and patience unfathomable.”
Capricorn Workout: 6am circuit training – The early bird catches the worm!
Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
“Although highly independent, the Aquarius loves helping others. The gym is a social event for the Aquarius, taking pleasure in supporting others to ensure they reach their goals together. With a motivational playlist at the ready, you’re most likely to be seen spotting your gym buddies, shouting words of encouragement.”
Aquarius Workout: Bench Press
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
“The Pisces is the therapist among the star signs. Highly empathetic and compassionate, the Pisces is a great person to sweat out a bad day with. Calm and gentle by nature you’re at home in water and you always have time to lend an ear. You’ll be found sweating out the negativity in a steam room or sauna.”
Pisces Workout: Sauna/Steam room
