Move more in 2026 with 30-20-2 πŸ’™

Life is busy, and finding time to exercise can feel overwhelming. Being active isn’t about pushing yourself to the limit β€” it’s about moving consistently and finding a balance that works for you. And you don’t have to do it alone.

Introducing 30-20-2, our simple movement guide based on the Australian Physical Activity Guidelines, designed to make movement achievable and part of everyday life.

Here’s what it means. 

Adults in Australia should aim for: 

30 mins moderate activity daily πŸšΆβ€β™‚οΈπŸŠβ€β™‚οΈ
Moderate activity means you’re moving, breathing comfortably, and able to speak in full sentences. Think swimming, a brisk walk, or joining a PARC class. 

OR 

20 mins vigorous activity daily πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸš΄β€β™‚οΈ
Vigorous activity gets your heart pumpingβ€”you’re breathing hard and speaking in short bursts. Try a cycle class, HIIT session, or a gym workout. 

AND 

2 strength sessions per week πŸ’ͺπŸ‹β€β™‚οΈ
Build strength with resistance training. Try lifting weights the gym, or a Reformer Pilates class. 

Throughout 2026, we’ll support you with the right mix of classes, programs, and expert guidance to help you move more, your way.

Come and talk to our friendly team about becoming a member today.
