How to run a Volunteer Peer Led Exercise Class on Outdoor Fitness Equipment

Outdoor fitness equipment provides a fantastic opportunity for individuals to stay active and healthy while enjoying the great outdoors. Participants have found that exercising with others is not only more enjoyable but also helps to keep them motivated and accountable. 

The Alpine Active Group (AAG) is committed to continuing to support group fitness sessions at the Outdoor Fitness Equipment and encourages community groups and organisations to take the lead in organizing their own classes. To assist with this, resources such as 'How to run a group fitness session videos' and written manuals have been created to provide guidance and support.  As each town offers a variety of different equipment the manuals are customised for each site to support you to run your own group classes.

Both Rotary Park, Mount Beauty and Pioneer Memorial Park, Tawonga have the same six pieces of equipment with Elliptical Trainer, Bike, Pull Down, Chest Press, Leg Press and Stretch Station.
