The City Renewal Authority has announced the return of its ReNewYou program which has been temporarily suspended due to COVID-19.
The Authority said ReNewYou was a trial program of free, weekly healthy activity classes to encourage people to get out and enjoy the city centre.
“The activities in the program, like Zumba, yoga or boot camp, changes regularly to provide a variety of opportunities for people to get active,” the Authority said.
“There are lots of great public spaces in our city for people to spend time in and the ReNewYou program gives people an extra incentive to get out, be healthy and socialise,” it said.
“As well as helping make our community healthier, the program also adds to the activity and rejuvenation of the city centre.”
The Authority said the program was about giving people who didn’t normally do much exercise an opportunity to try a new activity.
It said classes would take place every Tuesday beginning next week (2 September) with Zumba in Garema Place throughout September; Boot Camp in Glebe Park in October; and yoga classes in City Walk during November.
“The classes will all be held outdoors in wide open spaces, allowing for a minimum of four square metres per person,” it said.
“All participants will be asked to provide their contact details for tracing purposes should an infection be identified.”
The Authority said that no equipment would be shared by participants, and all would be asked to bring their own water bottle and yoga mat.
