Sam Jenkins, a personal trainer for over 10 years, began training his clients in Sydney Park, St Peters as a result of the COVID lockdown that was enforced in NSW from June 2021. I met Sam on one of my walks through the park after noticing his temporary training area situated alongside the footpath beside the newly built skatepark. Nearby, a group of personal trainers also used the area to train their clients throughout the day. They shared fitness equipment and spoke in between appointments, creating an environment reminiscent of a typical gym with the added benefit of being outdoors in the fresh air and sunshine. Intrigued by the work Sam was doing in the park, I was fortunate to have had the opportunity to photograph his day unfold.
