Unlike the commercial gyms that can be seen (or heard) from every corner of every road, Dragon Door Australia doesn’t have the radio blaring. There are no mirrors on the walls and there are no flat screen televisions to entertain people. In fact, there are no machines and there is no sitting down.

25 memorable classes
The first time I ever taught a class was when I arrived on time (as a participant) and the then rostered instructor didn’t.
