PT in the Park - FREE exercise and fun!

Dena Cowen-Willis from PT in the Park

What is PT in the park all about?
PT in the park is a free 60min workout run by Focus and support of local personal trainers, instructors and fitness industry students.
PTIP is every Saturday - starting at 9am & finishing at 10am.

What is our mission with PT in the park?
PT in the park is a registered charitable trust and we provide a free opportunity for anyone to participate in regular group training.

What do we do?
Each session has a brief introduction, specific warm up activities, drills and/or games for 5-15mins. Then we get into the workout for 10-40mins depending on the overall program. Each session closes with a cool down, stretching, recovery phase for 5mins.

First time?
If you are thinking of coming along, please do ☺
Introduce yourself to one of our friendly helpers or trainers and let us know of any injuries or issues, which may effect your ability with exercise.
We will offer help to modify movements or provide options which are suitable for you.
I would also suggest to go at your own pace, have fun and stick with what you are comfortable with for your first few weeks.

Great to see more kids coming along to PT in the park :)
Just a friendly reminder that its best for any kids under the age of 16 to only utalise the games we do at PT in the park, bodyweight options and leave any resistance work we do until over 16yrs old.
We will run a dedicated kids section during summer only.

What else do we do?
We often organize regular events throughout the year such as fundraising events for Dogwatch, SPCA Canterbury, meeting anyone keen to do Parkrun, themed sessions.

How can you help us?
-Come along each week ☺
-Tell your friends, workmates and family members
-Share, like and comment on the PTIP Facebook page
-Bring along gold coin donations

Where do we meet?
Every Saturday @ 9am, Carlton Corner, Hagley park.
If there is a change of location, you will see a post go on our Facebook page.

What to bring?
Comfortable & supportive footwear designed for exercise, suitable clothing for working out, full water bottle. Smiles. Sunscreen in the summer months.
Gloves may be useful during winter!

Poll: 🤖 What skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
