GET ACTIVEWITH FIT
FOR FREE
We have 26 outdoor fitness stations across the City – and
more on the way. During April, Personal Trainers or Exercise
Physiologists were available at pre-advertised times at eight
stations across the City, to kick off our Fit for Free program,
teaching people how to use the exercise equipment correctly and
get the most from the experience.
It proved very popular. Participants were local people who were
either regularly active and wanted to add something to their daily
activity or had not been active in the past and wanted to learn
how to use the fitness equipment.
Fit for Free has been a great way to introduce local people to
free opportunities and to be active in the community. If you’d
like Fit for Free to come to an outdoor fitness station near you

MOTIVATION TO GET FIT
We all know how difficult it is to maintain motivation during
the winter months particularly when it comes to exercise. Fit
for Free has continued to be well received and following the
completion of the April program we introduced “Fit For Free-
Motivate Me” sessions at Lefevre Community Stadium which runs
until 13 June.
Fit for Free-Motivate Me weekly sessions with an Exercise
Physiologist will be available at Enfield Community Centre every
Wednesday from 1.30-2.30pm from 6 June until 25 July running
over eight sessions. You will be able to connect with other
exercise buddies to help maintain motivation and, at the same
time, learn about things you can do at home to maintain an
exercise regime and keep fit during the colder months.
For more information or to register your interest contact
Liz Haar on or phone 8405 6556.
BECOME A COMMUNITY FOODIE
Do you love to cook? Do you have an interest in healthy living?
Do you want to share your interest in cooking and healthy living
with others?
If you said yes to all of these questions then you may want
to become a Port Adelaide Enfield Community Foodie or a
Community Foodie Helper to assist others to make healthy
food choices.
Foodies provide support to others through food education,
cooking and sharing knowledge at various sites across the
whole City.
Our Community Foodies undergo a six week training program
to learn the skills needed to be confident in working with
community and share knowledge on healthy eating. Community
Foodie Helpers complete simple food safety and handling training
which prepares them to work alongside a Community Foodie and
help make sessions fun and enjoyable.
If you aren’t sure and want more information then come along to
an information session.
There will be three sessions during June.
