Sessions on South Beach
The City of Fremantle lists personal training among the uses you can book at South Beach Reserve, a family beach with views out to Rottnest, Carnac and Garden islands. The reserve has showers, toilets, barbecues and beach wheelchairs, dogs are allowed on a leash, and casual use is free. Soft sand is hard work, so a trainer who uses it will usually start you on the grass and move onto the beach as your fitness builds.
Ovals and the City's approval
For a firmer surface, Bruce Lee Active Reserve in Beaconsfield is bookable for fitness providers and is described by the City as suited to personal training and group fitness. Whichever reserve it is, a trainer who uses City land for paid sessions needs the City's group fitness and personal training approval, issued for a year under the Local Government Property Local Law 2002, with possible limits on the activity, the hours and the location.
The leisure centre
Fremantle Leisure Centre on Shuffrey Street has an outdoor 50 metre pool, an undercover 25 metre pool, a hydrotherapy pool and a gym, with the pool and gym open from 5.30am to 8.30pm on weekdays and 6am to 6pm on weekends. Some trainers work from centres like this one; ask whether entry is included or separate before you book a block of sessions.
