Council Update

Most of you will be aware that there has been ongoing discussions with Council regarding policies for Outdoor Fitness Trainers. Our biggest fear all along had been that the Site Licences would become a bidding war, with sites awarded to the highest bidders. Council assured us that this would not be the case, and that the sites would be awarded via an expression of interest.

We have today been notified that we are to submit Quotations for our specific sites by 1 October, which leads me to believe our original fears have been realised and that popular sites will be subject to a bidding war. I will also be required to pay for an additional mobile PT licence, separate to the site licence fees. But again, Council assured us this wasn't a revenue raising opportunity!

Regardless of this, it will mean that we may need to rationalise the number of sites that we currently operate from with our Groups. This is where I need your assistance.

Our current sites are:
Thirroul Beach - we moved here for winter due to the lighting.
Bulli Park - Our Bootcamp site which has it's ups and downs (literally!!!!).
Nicholson Park, Woonona - our mid morning and Saturday site.

This is where I need your assistance - which is your preferred training area for the next 6 months? I think we will always try and move to Thirroul for the winter training due to the adequate lighting provided there.

If you could please help us to determine our best 'primary' site, would be greatly appreciated!

Please vote on the Poll that is located on the right hand side of this page.

Thanks for your help in this, and see you all at training

Spring Bootcamp started today

Well, our first day of Spring ushered in a new Bootcamp....
and of course, more of the fitness testing.

Today was a 12 minute run test - testing distance, as well as the obligatory pushups, situps in a minute and plank hold. It's great to see previous bootcampers who could barely do pushups on the knees, now blitzing it in the full pushups.

We'll be running bootcamps each month, so if you want to improve your fitness, strength and endurance, as well as lose weight and look nice and toned in time for summer...book into October's bootcamp.
