Summer Series FAQs Expand all
How do I register for the Summer Series?
You can register by clicking the button that says Register Now or you can visit
How old do I need to be to participate in the Summer Series?
Participants need to be aged 18yrs and over.
What do I need to bring with me?
Please ensure that you always bring a drink bottle with you, along with a sweat towel.
You'll also be able to access the showers and toilets at Keilor East Leisure Centre (Sunrise Mat Pilates / Bootcamp / Cycle class), and Ascot Vale Leisure Centre (BODYBALANCE™, Zumba® megaclass), in case you need to shower and change your clothes after your class.
For the BODYBALANCE™ and Sunrise Mat Pilates sessions we recommend that you bring a yoga mat. We do have some spares, however they are limited. Alternatively you can purchase yoga mats from a variety of retail stores (e.g. K-mart, BigW, Target, Rebel Sport etc.)
What do I need to wear?
It's important to feel comfortable in what you're wearing to exercising in, and only you can make that decision. Athletic wear is always the better option as it has specific fabrics that wick away sweat and help keep you cool. Avoid heavy fabrics that can become heavier when waterlogged with sweat.
We highly recommend that you invest in appropriate footwear if you're brand new to exercise to ensure that you get the right footwear for the right activity, as well as the right fit for your feet.

BODYBALANCE™ will be held on Monday nights at 7:00pm at Ascot Vale Leisure Centre (Cnr Langs Road & Epsom Road, Ascot Vale).
Whether you can touch your toes or are just starting your fitness journey, BODYBALANCE™ allows you to immerse yourself in the practice through mindful breath and graceful movement flow. You'll work through a variety of postures and movements to get your heart pumping and blood flowing, whilst also working on balance and flexibility. Each session will finish with a moment of stillness and focus on breathing to calm the mind and body.
This is a great session whether you're brand new or you've been practising regularly.
