FERNWOOD Women’s Fitness Club in Narre Warren celebrated 21 years of operation on Wednesday 21 September with special guest Lisa Curry.
The fitness club celebrated with a pop up market from local businesses, special fitness classes led by Lisa Curry, showcases of their programs, a barbecue and of course a birthday cake.
Fernwood Narre Warren assistant manager Paula De Graaf said everyone who attended had a great day.
“We had a full house most of the day, with current and prospective members coming and going all day,” she said.
“It was just fabulous.”
Ms De Graaf said although the day was very busy, it was a great opportunity to showcase all the programs and classes the club has to offer.
“We had half hour versions of our classes, showcasing our timetable from tummy-hips-thigh classes to body pump and step and ended up with Lisa Curry doing a Curry Coach Workout and presentation about exercise and wellbeing,” she said.
“We even had time to sneak in a bit of a Zumba party.”
The pop up market was a big hit with the club members and was completely supported by local businesses.
“We had lot of different things us girls enjoy,” Ms De Graaf said.
“There was envy jewellery, body shop, and different things like hire a hubby and mobile massage.”
Lisa Curry was able to give specialist advice about women’s fitness and striking a balance between staying fit and loving life.
“Lisa spoke about being her age and staying fit after having been at a level of elite athlete and now talking about balance of life but still being very fit and healthy and the implementation of that as we age,” Ms De Graaf said.
Ms De Graaf said 21 years of operation shows how well Fernwood Narre Warren operates in the community and hopes for more great years to come.
“We have a really strong base in the area; we have been here a long time and plan to stay a long time,” she said.
