Meet Your Trainers
Kate Dwyer
Kate has a degree in Exercise Physiology and a special interest in adult group fitness. She is known for her creative approach to exercise, incorporating games and team-based activities that make the class feel fun while delivering clear fitness benefits. Her sessions strike the balance between enjoyment and purpose, everything you do is designed to help improve your strength, endurance and confidence in movement.
Loretta Ascoli – Physiotherapist
This year, one of our Core Gymball physiotherapists, Loretta Ascoli, will be leading the program alongside Kate while Rachel is on maternity leave. Loretta brings her physiotherapy expertise to ensure the exercises are safe, adaptable, and tailored for a wide range of abilities. She provides the added reassurance that each session is grounded in evidence-based practice, with a focus on injury prevention and long-term health.
What to Expect
Each week builds variety into your training. Some sessions might include relay-style activities to get the heart rate up, others focus on balance and stability to challenge the smaller muscle groups, and some integrate functional strength work to support bone health and posture. The outdoor setting at Buckle Reserve adds to the atmosphere—fresh air, green space, and the energy of a supportive group all working towards the same goal.
Who Is It For?
The program is suitable for adults of all ages and fitness levels. Whether you are looking to kick-start your summer fitness, complement your current routine, or simply enjoy a lively and welcoming group environment, you will find a place here. All exercises can be adapted to suit different levels, so you can work at your own pace while still being challenged.
Start Your Weekend Right
Our Get Fit for Summer program is a unique opportunity to combine physiotherapy-led exercise, expert guidance, and community spirit in one enjoyable session. By the end of the 10 weeks, you will notice improvements in your strength, stamina, and confidence, all while having a great time outdoors.
