To give back to the community, Cre8tive Fitness is planning to offer three free mat pilates sessions in and around the Yarra Valley for women.
Park 2 Park Pilates will be held at local parks and green areas fortnightly starting from Tuesday 29 October at the open grass area next to Foodworks Coldstream.
Cre8tive Fitness owner Nicole Boyle, who has been a personal trainer for over 10 years, said Cre8tive Fitness offers outdoor fitness services and has received lots of support from the community.
“I’ve been in and around the community, running sessions since about 2019,” she said.
“For me, it’s really important to give back to the community that you work in because they obviously give to you, not only through being clients but also in using spaces and working with them.”
The second session will take place at Lilydale Bellbird Park on Tuesday 12 November, and the last one will be held at Mooroolbark Summerhill Park on Tuesday 26 November.
Boyle said Park 2 Park Pilates is a great way to help women move while enjoying the sunshine and local areas.
“The cornerstone of everything that I do is ‘How can I get more women moving, making it easy and fun for them to do?’,” she said.
“I thought Park 2 Park Pilates was a great way to combine all of that.
“It was also about opening up locations for women in the area as well because through what I’ve done previously, a lot of ladies said ‘I’ve never been here before. I didn’t know that was here.’”
Each session will start at 9.15am with a 35-minute mat pilates session followed by a cuppa at a nearby coffee shop.
Participants who stay for the cuppa will get a chance to win one of the three free coffees provided by a coffee shop; Yarra Valley Cake Company for the Coldstream session, Via Cucina for the Lilydale session and Coopercino’s for the Mooroolbark session.
“Working with other small businesses is super important,” Boyle said.
