Goodwood by the Census
Goodwood had 2,823 residents at the 2021 Census with a median age of 40, and 5.8% of employed residents rode a bicycle to work, against 0.9% for South Australia. If you already ride, a trainer can help you add the strength side of your week. The guidelines for adults suggest muscle-strengthening activities on 2 or more days a week, alongside 30 minutes or more of moderate- to vigorous-intensity activity on most days. If you have a health condition, check with your doctor before starting.

In nearby Forestville, the council lists Forestville Reserve with outdoor fitness equipment, which you can use between sessions. Public equipment is shared, so on busy mornings you may need to wait your turn or swap the order of your exercises.

Because Goodwood is in the City of Unley, a trainer running commercial fitness or small group sessions on a council reserve needs a council permit. It is a quick question to ask before your first outdoor session together, along with where you will meet if the weather turns.
