Additional Exercise Programmes at Hester Canterbury
We’d like to welcome Josh Hogan to the Hester Canterbury Gym. Josh is a sports and outdoor activities enthusiast who will soon be finishing his Masters of Clinical Exercise Science and rehabilitation.
Due to popular demand Josh will now be running an additional 50 minute class on Thursday mornings at 11am, starting on Thursday the 13th February for $12 a session.
