Origin Of Energy

Check out Sunday Inside Back page 127.

The latest celeb hangout isn’t a nightclub, but a gym, so we’ve taken on a six-week training program with personal trainer Aaron McKenzie at Origin of Energy in Bondi Junction to burn calories while getting celebrity goss.

On Friday we trained with Wes Carr, and we hear other regulars include Anthony Minichiello and Zoe Tuckwell-Smith.
