About where we train for Sweating Blood

Jacobs ladder

Jacob's Ladder is just short of 300 hundred steps will take you on a steep 43 metre descent from Cliff Street near Kings Park down to Mounts Bay Road. It is not unusual for us to carry heavy objects up and down the ladder for more resistance and intensity.

Kokoda

The Kokoda Walk begins at Kennedy Fountain on Mounts Bay Road and you will climb 150 steep steps (with a vertical rise of 62m). The Jacobs-Kokoda run we often use as an intense 2.5-3km run that starts at the top of Jacobs, down the ladder across to Kokoda, up Kokoda and right up the path to Kings Park and back to the ladder.

DNA Tower

The DNA tower is in the middle of Kings Park close by to the Womans Memorial Parklands. The DNA Tower is so named because it resembles the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) double-helix molecule, which is found in all cells and control the development of life. The 15m high staircase has 101 steps and was inspired by a double staircase in a Chateau at Blois in France.

Kensington Primary

Kensington primary is on Banksia St Kensington and is a great place to train with an open football oval and a playground with lots of options for different forms of pull ups.

Beaches

We have trained at City Beach, Cottesloe, and Port beaches and combine beach sprints, swimming and kettlebell work for intense cross-training boot camps.

We are not limited where we train and look for other locations around Perth that are suitable for our type of training. Anywhere is possible and locations are chosen based on the type of workout we choose to do on a particular session.
