Questions
Who can attend the community fitness sessions?
We run two community fitness programmes in Surry Hills. Northcott Fitness Workout is primarily for people living in social housing, although everyone in the local community is welcome. Active Seniors is designed for older adults who want to stay active, improve their fitness and connect with others. Both programmes welcome all fitness levels and abilities.
What happens during a community fitness session?
Our 45-minute outdoor sessions combine gentle strength exercises, mobility work, balance activities and general fitness. Exercises can be adapted to suit different abilities, with seated and lower-impact options available. There's no pressure to keep up with anyone else, the focus is on moving, having fun and enjoying the experience.
Where and when do the community fitness classes take place?
Both programmes take place at Eddie Ward Park (Ward Park) in Surry Hills. Active Seniors runs on Mondays at 10am, while Northcott Fitness Workout runs on Fridays at 10am. Sessions are 45 minutes and take place outdoors, with alternative indoor arrangements when weather conditions require it.
Are the community fitness programmes free?
Northcott Fitness Workout is currently free to attend, while Active Seniors operates on a donation basis. Our aim is to make exercise accessible to everyone, regardless of their financial circumstances. Donations help support the ongoing delivery of these community programmes.
Supported by our partners
The Northcott Fitness Workout is run in partnership with the City of Sydney and Surry Hills Neighbourhood Centre.
