City of Kalamunda converts community gym to 24/7 operations

The City of Kalamunda has joined the growing trend for 24/7 gyms in Perth by converting the fitness space at its High Wycombe Community and Recreation Centre to 24/7 operations.

Advising of the change, City of Kalamunda Mayor John Giardina said finding time to hit the gym between work, family and running a household would be easier with the opening of the gym at the eastern Perth facility.

He advised “Council has endorsed the change to the recreation centre’s gym, allowing it to be open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

“The change also improves efficiency of our operations as entry and exit can be controlled by a computerised system.

“This will mean the facility will become an unmanned centre, helping save costs over the long term.”
