Perry Woodfine

Perry is one of Fitness on the Park's most popular Instructors. His dry and at times wicked sense of humour means his classes are always fun. Raucous laughter is often heard coming from the gym during Perry's morning circuits. Comments from his class members are that Perry is an "excellent instructor - although he makes us work hard he manages to make the exercise classes a lot of fun, while at the

same time ensuring we perform the exercises correctly."

Perry joined Fitness on the Park in 1989. He was a distance runner for many years having competed in 3 marathons and several triathlons. He no longer competes but maintains his fitness with running, cycling and weight training 3-4 times a week.

Perry and his wife Ros live on a beautiful farm at Harrogate, near Mt Torrens and are kept very busy dividing their time between work in the city and farm duties.

Gaynor Pope

Gaynor has been an instructor at Fitness on the Park since the beginning of 2002, working in the gym with individual programming, taking circuits and weights classes and an outdoor weights and stretch class. Her qualifications include Certificate IV, Personal Trainer, Level 1 and 2 fitball and advanced programming.

Gaynor likes to offer variety in her classes and is very particular on checking for correct technique.

Gaynor hasn’t always been fit and active, not exercising at all between the ages of 20-35. She started attending a gym but it wasn’t until she had a Personal Trainer that she became interested in fitness and was inspired to become a trainer herself.

Married with 3 children, Gaynor’s interests include kick boxing and working out in the gym. Gaynor is a wonderful example of how fitness can change your life.

Gaynor has attained her Senior Centrality Health Consultant Certificate which means she has demonstrated an outstanding ability to achieve significant client based fitness results. Gaynor's clients are now able to receive health rebates for their Personal Training with selected health insurers.

She regularly travelled interstate to attend lectures and conferences about the fitness industry and in 2007 enrolled in Physio at the University of South Australia. “I’m keen to promote a balanced, moderate approach to health and fitness, particularly for weight loss clients.

I believe that the amount we move our body relates to our health and happiness. It’s important to incorporate it into our daily life and adding the social and fun element helps a lot!” Natalie says.

“I love working at Fitness on the Park—the staff and members are very genuine and I love the leafy, green outlook. I enjoy the classes in the gym—we have a lot of laughs. Come along and see for yourself.”
