Coreliving

Coreliving is a women-only outdoor fitness business serving Paddington, Bardon, Rosalie and Milton. Rather than operating as a conventional indoor gym, it runs group sessions in local parks, bringing together women who want structured exercise, encouragement and a social training environment. The programme has been running since 2009 and is led by Amy Abrahams, a qualified personal trainer and yoga teacher.

The main offering is a 60-minute outdoor bootcamp, with sessions designed to vary from day to day and provide a full-body workout. Coreliving says its programme is intended to build fitness and strength, support toning and help members stay accountable. Training is presented as challenging but friendly, without a military-style approach, making it suitable for women who prefer guidance and group motivation over exercising alone.

Membership includes access to two personal trainers, personal support by email or message, and guidance around mindset and nutrition. Optional measurements, body-composition scales and progress photos are also available for members who want extra accountability. The business also provides a private Facebook group, recipes and training updates, along with a welcome pack containing vouchers from local businesses. Current timetable details are available through the website.

Amy’s background includes long-distance running, running coaching and more than a decade working in personal training. She is joined by Tracey McDonald, a personal trainer with experience in running and triathlon, and yoga teacher Katie Thomson, who teaches a creative vinyasa flow style. Together, they offer a mix of fitness and yoga support for women looking to train outdoors, meet others locally or return to regular movement in a welcoming setting. It should suit solo attendees who want accountability as well as friends seeking a shared activity, although the programme is specifically designed for women.
