One class. Everyone welcome.
On Sunday 30 August we're taking STRONG out of the studio and onto the grass at Birdwood Square. It's a free community class, open to absolutely everyone - members, first-timers, neighbours, kids, grandparents. No experience needed - just pop your name down below so we know you're coming, then roll out a mat at 10am and move with us. There's a whole morning of family-friendly activities, community stalls and a First Kick soccer session happening around us too, so come early and make a morning of it.
Follow @strong_highgateTurn up, find a patch of grass, and let us do the rest.
01
An instructor-led, full-body mat class in the middle of the park - strength, stability and mobility in one session, finishing with a guided stretch. Every movement can be modified, so come whether you train five times a week or haven't moved since school. Bring a mat, we'll bring the playlist.
02
The First Kick coaches are running a free soccer session on the grass from 9:45am - games, skills and a lot of running around for the little ones. Drop the kids in, then roll your mat out next door for the 10am class.
03
There's a variety of family-friendly activities and community stalls running across the square all morning, and Beaufort Street coffee is a two-minute walk away. Come early, stay late, meet the people who live around the corner from you.
Come for the class, stay for the morning - or wander in whenever suits.

A mat is essential - we're on grass. Beyond that: a water bottle, something comfortable to move in, and a hat and sunscreen if the Perth sun turns it on.
Absolutely. It's a friendly, instructor-led mat class, and every movement can be modified to meet you where you're at. Our trainers will talk you through all of it - that's the whole point of running it in a park.
Please do. First Kick are running a free soccer session on the grass from 9:45am to 10:45am for ages 2-12, there are family-friendly activities and community stalls all morning, and little ones are more than welcome on the mat next to you.
Birdwood Square is on Beaufort Street in Highgate, a couple of minutes from the studio at 268 Lord Street. There's street parking around the square and along the surrounding streets, and plenty of buses run down Beaufort Street.
We'll make the call on the morning, get in touch with everyone who's registered, and post an update on Instagram at @strong_highgate. If the weather turns, keep an eye there before you head over.
