Personal Trainers

The use of a public area for commercial Personal Training must be booked and paid for through Hunter’s Hill Council.  The current Fees and Charges appear below.

Fines will apply if the appropriate bookings and fees are found to be not current.

The basis for fees and charges for Personal Trainers has changed to a time-based weekly fee, rather than a fee based on the number of clients.

Please Note: Personal Training registrations are only valid for one financial year (from 01 July to 30 June)

I hereby acknowledge and agree to abide by the following conditions in carrying out the Permitted Activities in the nominated Park(s) and council owned or controlled public land in the Hunters Hill (the ‘Premises’).

1. Due to the size of some parks passive areas, Council may approve more than one personal trainer within the vicinity within the same timeframe.
2. Permit for Personal Fitness trainers ONLY applies to approved passive areas on Council’s parks.
3. My registration with Council is not to be regarded as an endorsement of my services and serves only as a licence authorising access to the Premises if approved by Council and on the conditions set out below.
4. My training sessions and the Permitted Activities will be limited to the normal activities of a personal trainer, fitness trainer, yoga instructor, tai chi instructor or the like which would include but not be limited to appropriate cardiovascular and muscular skeletal programs which may include pad training (boxing style) on the Premises.

I agree to use the Premises at my own risk and releases, to the extent permitted by law the Council, the its employees and agents from any liability or obligation to me (or any person claiming through me) in respect of any accident, damage, loss (including financial loss), death, injury, costs or expenses occurring in, or around the Premises arising by reason of the grant of this registration and licence, or out of or in connection with the use of the Premises by me unless caused by the negligence or willful act or omission of the Council.
