The class is held at Jan Wilson Community Centre, 57 Halton Road, Noble Park North, a short drive from Dandenong and local suburbs. The community centre is easy to find and well known locally for its programs and accessible facilities.
There is local street parking and nearby public transport options; parents often combine school drop-off with a quick walk into the class. If you rely on public transport, check local bus routes to Noble Park North for the smoothest trip.
If you need assistance with entry or have mobility requirements, call Customer Service on the council number before attending so staff can advise on access and parking. The centre is family-friendly and welcoming to first-time visitors.
Sessions are drop-in and open to all fitness levels, but please let the trainer know of any medical conditions or injuries before starting. Safety and correct technique are priorities to protect joints and support long-term fitness goals.

If you require additional support or have questions about participation, contact Customer Service for guidance. The program is designed to be accessible and inclusive for parents juggling school runs and family life.
Cost is $5 per session, payable on the day; there is no need to register in advance and no long-term commitment required. This makes it easy to fit fitness into a changing family schedule while keeping costs low.
Spaces operate on a first-come, first-served basis, so arriving early is recommended to guarantee a spot. If you’re trying the class for the first time, plan to come a little early to meet the trainer and discuss any modifications.
