The RISE Community Group Fitness Timetable

Consultation has concluded

Stretching at Group Fitness Class

As part of the continued improvement of The RISE Community Facility the team at the City of Bayswater is working hard to develop and grow the Group Fitness timetable.

To meet our members' health, fitness and leisure needs, and to ensure the centre remains sustainable, the City is asked for input from all current members. The information gathered from this survey will help us to understand how members are using the group fitness classes, and be used to assist in decision making for the development of / changes to the Group Fitness timetable. You can view the survey report here. We heard from members about:

  • How they currently use the centre and group fitness.
  • How they ideally would like to use the centre and group fitness.
  • How satisfied they are with the Group Fitness Timetable.
  • Suggestions for improving the Group Fitness classes/timetable.

The system in place for determining classes is a simple traffic light system, reviewed each quarter in March, June, September and December. An example of this is shown in the Traffic light distribution (see Documents).

To calculate the traffic light, participant numbers are recorded for each class and used to calculate average attendance for each class for the quarter. Attendance rates inform the traffic light for each class, along with adjustments for days of the week, seasonal variation, peak vs. off-peak times, and other influences such as COVID-19 for instance.

The tables below show participant number ranges and percentages for each of the three 'traffic light' colours based on Peak and Off-peak class times.
