Member Spotlight: Mark Bowler

This month we’d like to celebrate the success of one of our super friendly members who graces the PARC Health Club with his positive energy every time he trains, Mark Bowler!

Mark has been nominated for the Member Spotlight this month for great attitude and polite friendly nature, helping to make the PARC Health Club a positive space. Mark is always open to helping out fellow gym members and is an extremely valuable member of the PARC community!  We sat down with him and asked a few questions about why PARC is important to him.   What type of training do you do at PARC?  Body building sessions in the gym! What is your year of health goal? I’m working towards competing in natural body building October next year however I’m always working on being my general health and fitness as well. What motivates you? I want to a role model for my kids! My daughter just joined, and we train together every week. That time is extremely valuable to me. On top of that, PARC is an extremely positive environment, so I want to be here! The social aspect of coming to PARC is so important to me. I have made lot of friends since I have been here and have been able to inadvertently help others through conversation and friendship. Do you have a training buddy?  I met up with my daughter a few times a week to train together! Other than that, I come alone but always have members to chat to while I am training. That’s part of what motivates me, PARC is such a friendly environment! Why do you love PARC? I love the friendly and welcoming environment in the gym! PARC has everything you could need for your health and fitness….including great coffee! I’ve trained at a lot of gyms over the years, and this is by far the best one! What is your biggest achievement at PARC? When returned to the gym after taking a break due to the temporary closures, I had put on weight, and I decided to make a change. I got back in and lost 30kg in 8 months! How long have you been a member with us I am a foundation member…I signed up in a tent before PARC was even built!

Survey: What do you gain from attending our facilities? 

At Peninsula Leisure, we know our facilities are more than places to swim, workout, take a class or recover. They’re spaces where people build healthy lifestyles, confidence and connection. 

This year, we’re inviting you to take part in a new kind of survey, one that goes beyond facilities and timetables. We want to understand how attending PARC: 

💪 Impacts your physical health and mental wellbeing 
💙 Helps you feel connected to community 
⭐️ Adds value to you or your family’s life 

Your answers will help us measure the value to our community and the real-world impact of our programs and spaces. We want to hear from everyone - Peninsula Leisure is a child-friendly organisation, and we’re especially keen to hear from young people. 

The survey is open until 26 April 2026 and will take around 10 minutes. Participants can go in the draw to win 1 of 3 x $100 Rebel Sport vouchers! Complete the survey via the link in our bio. 

Thank you for helping us build an even stronger, healthier community 💙
