Personal Trainers in Canberra

Fitness stations in the parks

The ACT Government has fitness stations in parks and open spaces around Canberra, with sit-up benches, chin-up bars and balance beams that are free to use. You will find them at places such as John Knight Memorial Park, Eddison District Park, Lake Ginninderra District Park and Haig Park. It is shared public equipment, so a trainer working with you there should leave room for everyone else.

Water and hills

The ACT Government's own list of ways to get active names Yerrabi Pond and Lake Ginninderra as popular running spots for northsiders, and Point Hut Pond and Lake Tuggeranong for people on the southside. For walkers, the same list points to Mount Ainslie, Mount Taylor and Mount Majura. Any of them can become a regular meeting point with a trainer, or a plan for the days you head out alone.

Whose land is it?

The ACT Government manages over 6,800 hectares of public urban open space, including outdoor exercise equipment and paths. Some of the best-known ground is different, though. Lake Burley Griffin, Commonwealth Park and Kings Park are national land, and the government directs enquiries about using them to the National Capital Authority. A trainer planning regular sessions by the lake should check with the authority first. Closer to home, the suburban parks and ponds managed by the ACT Government are usually the simpler choice for a weekly session, and a fitness station there gives you something to return to between visits.

Canberra and Queanbeyan

The Canberra - Queanbeyan urban area had 490,517 people at the 2021 Census and a median age of 35, and 3.8% of employed residents walked to work on Census day. If you already walk to the office, a trainer can help you add the strength side of the week. Sessions can be outdoors or at home.
