A little while ago I showed a picture of someone being put through their paces by a personal trainer in Hyde Park. Here's group exercises in public open space. Early morning "boot camps" have caused some controversy as they stomp past people's bedroom windows before dawn, with the instructor barking instructions, or as some see it, despoiling the amenity of public parks or beaches where people want to walk, swim, or exercise their dogs withour intrusive music or loud orders. I can't see mothers with strollers doing Pilates invoking the same reaction!
Y'all are definitely more exercise conscious that me!
ReplyDeleteI think one if the complaints was the trainers using public parks as a place of business. If a professional photographer wanted to take pictures in the park they would need a permit which costs of course. There is no such requirement on trainers.
ReplyDeleteVery true. And some councils have introduced fees.
ReplyDeleteFor some reason the top picture makes me want to move to Sydney.
ReplyDeleteThey all look knackered. I bet she's worked them hard.
ReplyDeletewow.. stunning location, i wish i can do my yoga like this, looking at the picture all i can say, enclosed spaces for activities like this are depressing to say the least.
