Exercise campaign at leisure centre
The Peninsula Leisure Centre will launch a Get Fit For Summer exercise campaign to celebrate its fourth anniversary this month.
The campaign will begin with an open day at the Woy Woy centre on Saturday, October 24.
The event will include "fun and exciting" fitness classes, diabetes (blood glucose) and cholesterol checks, body composition analysis, prizes and giveaways.
Gosford Council's coordinator of leisure and lifestyle Mr Simon Clarke said the event was a great opportunity for community members to test drive the Peninsula Leisure Centre's new facilities.
"The PLC has had more than 1.5 million visits to the centre since it was opened four years ago," Mr Clarke said.
"To celebrate this achievement we have recently invested $175,000 in new cardiovascular equipment which is now available to members and guests.
"All the activities on the day are free, guests can choose from body pump, cycle, fit ball, body balance, boxing fitness and a beep test to see what best suits their level of ability and personal preference."
The health club will be open free to the public from 7am to 12pm while classes will kick off from 7.15am with a cycle class followed by body pump at 8.30am, hot cycle class at 8.45am, body combat at 9.30am and a fit ball session at 9.45am.
A body balance class will commence at the centre from 10.30am, fitness boxing session at 10.45am and finally a beep test at 11.30am.
"This is a great time to join the centre, as people who become members will save up to $100 on their membership.
"Benefits for members include; goal setting, two-week check ups, monthly program reviews and personalised care."
Prizes and giveaways on the day include accommodation packages at the Ettalong Beach Mantra Resort, MP3 players, water bottles, Rebel Sport gift vouchers, Musashi gift packs and You Save Chemist giveaways.
The open day will run from 7am to 12pm.
