Organiser say it could have been the most successful launch.

Active Farmers Hagley Trainer, JJ Pullinger is thrilled by the support of the Hagley community.

"It was a fantastic morning of fitness and fun and it was so great to see so many people join us for the launch of what we know is going to be a great new service for the area,” the trainer said.

“I can't wait for classes to kick off this week, and encourage anyone who is interested to join in or get in touch for more information.”

Active Farmers is a service that brings farmers and community members together through group fitness in a fun and interactive environment.

The program is designed especially for small rural communities with limited access to fitness expertise and equipment.

Organisers say Active Farmers provides motivational, challenging and fun training sessions to help promote great physical and mental health.
