The arrival of spring is the ideal time for residents to come and try Horsham Rural City Council’s community-run weekly fitness classes, according to local providers.
Since March this year HRCC has partnered with fitness and wellbeing businesses to deliver free ACTIVE Horsham sessions at Sawyer Park each Saturday morning.
Starting at 9am at the Soundshell, they will continue until November.
“The ACTIVE Horsham sessions are providing a huge benefit to the local community with participants, young and old, getting active and improving their health,” Planet Feelgood’s Lisa Cosson said.
“We are getting good turnouts to the sessions each week but there is always room for more. This Saturday is the first Saturday of spring and we are expecting to see more and more people from the community join in and get moving with our local fitness providers as the weather begins to warm up.”
Ms Cosson said September 5-11 was Women’s Health Week – an added incentive to get involved.
“Local fitness providers have really enjoyed delivering these sessions to the community, providing an opportunity for anyone and everyone to be active.”
“These sessions are free to everyone and are a wonderful way to bring families, teams, buddies together to move more for health,” she said.
Pam Deckert from Fit4You Haven encouraged people of all age groups and abilities to get involved as she hosts classes across the next two weeks.
“Fit4You are excited to deliver free exercise sessions to the Horsham community as part of ACTIVE Horsham,” Ms Deckert said.
“The next two Saturday’s will be low-impact exercise sessions and will include a mix of pilates, resistance bands, balance, low impact aerobics moves and stretches.”
“The ACTIVE Horsham sessions are a great way to kick start your weekend, meet some new people and get moving. Best of all, the sessions are free,” she said.
