A new indoor community group fitness program being launched in Truganina is aimed at residents who want to become more active.

The Grange Community Centre has teamed up with Wyndham-based exercise instructors and trainers to start the Mainview Pavilion program.

Grange community development officer Karen Cain said it was hoped the exercise program would get more residents using the $2.987 million pavilion, launched by Wyndham council last year.

“The program is designed to activate the sporting pavilion, activate the community and create opportunities for social connection and also provide the community with the expertise of personal trainers at a low cost,” she said.

“The program will include community group training, which with include elements of circuit, boxing and HIIT program, along with Pilates and yoga classes.”

The program will run Mondays to Thursdays, starting on June 4.

Community group training will be at 10.30am on Mondays, 11.30am on Wednesdays and 1pm on Thursdays. Pilates will be held at 11.30am on Tuesdays and yoga at 11.30am on Mondays and 2pm on Thursdays.

The first week is free for participants, after which classes will cost $15 (discounts are available for multiple sessions).

Participants are welcome to bring children along to the sessions.

Mainview Pavilion, partially funded by a $1.2 million grant as part of the state government’s Growing Suburbs Fund, is located at Mainview Boulevard Reserve in Truganina.
