COUNCILS are cracking down on personal trainers using parks after complaints about early morning boot camps. Unley Council will soon start slugging trainers annual fees of up to $1000 to book local parks for fitness sessions, in a bid to control the growing fad and prevent time clashes between big groups at popular parks.
The proposed permit system - out for consultation this month - will limit groups to 20 people and ban fitness sessions before 6.30am and after 8pm.
It will also ban boxing, martial arts, shouting and running in a pack, and includes a refundable bond to cover damage to public equipment such as tables and benches.
