Free community workouts are helping Kalkallo and Mernda residents trim their waistlines.
The fitness sessions, run by Live Life Get Active, are giving residents of Stockland’s Cloverton and Mernda Villages estates a chance to improve their health and fitness at no charge.
The workouts, which were launched last year, include cross-training and boxing.
Kalkallo resident Tina Caddy, who joined the classes when they started last May, said they had helped her to feel stronger and healthier while making new friends.
Ms Caddy said that for many families, gym membership was a financial burden.
“I think it’s so important for communities to offer these kinds of programs, especially for parents who don’t have much time,” Ms Caddy said.
“I’ve already lost a few kilograms, but most importantly, I have built confidence.”
The sessions are held at the Cloverton Sales and Information Centre, corner of Dwyer Street and Design Way, Kalkallo, and at Neptune Park, corner of Galloway and Landon drives, Mernda.
