A new local health and fitness community group has been started, with resident Jenny Fahey forming the Jordan Springs Walking Group recently.

“I formed the group so that people in the Jordan Springs area could join me and walk together, whilst making new friends. It’s much safer walking as a group than doing this by yourself. You can get to know the people in your community, explore the local area along the way and stay healthy” Group Organiser Jenny said to the Jordan Springs Gazette.

The group, which has over 30 members on Facebook since launching a month ago, plans to meet on the stairs at the Information Centre at Jordan Springs, on Monday and Wednesday nights at 6:00pm and on Saturday mornings at 8:00am to start with.

“I love walking and it’s a great way to stay fit. It also helps you to de-stress after a hard day at work. My future plans for the group are to meet some great people and to have it grow in numbers. Come on wonderful community, let’s get walking today! The best part of it is that it’s free” added Jenny.

If you would like to join the Jordan Springs Walking Group or would like more information, you can find them on Facebook.
