Celebrating our Team 💙
At Friday night’s 2025 Frankston Business Chamber Business Excellence Gala Awards, Peninsula Leisure was proudly recognised with:
⭐ Outstanding Employer Award – WINNER
⭐ Community Impact & Engagement Award – Runner Up
Being named Outstanding Employer is especially meaningful to us. It reflects our commitment to creating a supportive, people-first workplace. Why does this matter to you? Because a happy, valued team delivers a better experience for our members and guests.
These awards recognise the passion and care our team brings to everything we do – from swim lessons to group exercise classes, to our cleaners, to the risk, health and safety and general business teams behind the scenes.
Thank you to our amazing Peninsula Leisure Team, we are so super proud! And thank you to our members for supporting us along the way!

What an incredible night! 👏
Our Women’s Health Seminar last Wednesday was a huge success, with a fantastic turnout. A huge thank you to our speakers, Nutritionist Ali Tehan and GP Dr Shaminder Kaur, for joining us and sharing their knowledge.
One of the key takeaways from the seminar? Resistance and weight training are powerful tools to boost bone health and help women stay strong and resilient through menopause and perimenopause. 💪
Our Small Group Training option can help you learn to lift with confidence and feel stronger with our expert trainers support and guidance.
