Woy Woy takes part in Physie Spectacular

The Woy Woy Recreational Physical Culture Club, better known as Woy Woy Rec, sent 69 members to take part in a Physie Spectacular earlier this year.

Physie is a sport that has been around for 125 years and has been a part of many Australian families, according to Ms Alexandra Sergeant from Woy Woy Rec.

"Physie is a synchronised, team-based sport that's social and fun and an excellent low impact dance and aerobic activity.

"Bjelke-Petersen Physical Culture is the perfect combination of movements designed to increase strength, fitness and flexibility," she said.

"The benefits include increased coordination, brain development and confidence," Ms Sergeant said.

Woy Woy Rec has been operating for over 40 years and has 190 members including girls as young as two years.

Ms Sergeant said the Spectacular bought together over 2000 women from all over Australia.

"This production entailed a year of planning, choreographing and organising by the head office and zone leaders, before cast members were chosen.

"The Central Coast zone was lucky enough to be choreographed by Woy Woy Rec's own Kristy Hudson.

"Cast members attended a number of rehearsals locally before they headed to Qudos Bank Arena in Homebush for two days of rehearsing and performing.

"The performance was an amazing display of exactly what Physie is all about: fun, friendship and dance."

Physie competitions have just started for 2017, Ms Sergeant said.

"Woy Woy Rec recently travelled to Camden-Narellen and Speers Point, where members competed against other clubs in an interclub competition to prepare them for the bigger zone championships later in the year."

Woy Woy Rec runs their classes at the Peninsula Community Centre on Monday's and Wednesdays for preschoolers up to seniors and Tuesday's and Thursday's for women.
