That's a wrap on our 30-20-2 Movement Challenge! 🀩

Congratulations to all of our members who have worked so hard over the last 4 weeks. It's been AMAZING seeing so many members take on the challenge, and achieving their 30-20-2! 

Don't forget to hand your card in by Sunday this week to go in in the draw to win one of our PARC Winter scarves.

More Movement = More Energy ⚑️

We know that it can be tricky to find time to be active, but the benefits for achieving your 30-20-2 each week are huge! 

There's so many reasons why getting more movement into your day is so important:
🧠 Improves oxygen flow to muscles and brain 
☺️ Releases feel-good chemicals that fight fatigue 
🀩 Gives an instant lift after even short activity 
πŸ’ͺ Builds long-term stamina and alertness

Check out our digital hub via our website for some free inspiration on how to achieve your 30-20-2 πŸ‹οΈβ€β™€οΈ
Supporting Our Community: Free Period Products available at PARC 

We’re excited to be part of the Victorian Government’s Free Pads and Tampons in Public Places Program, and have two new smart sanitary dispenser's product installed in our change rooms. 

How the dispensers work:

🧑 Products are dispensed free of charge 
🧑 Simply follow the instructions displayed on the front of the machine 
🧑 A short delay between dispenses helps ensure fair access and reduces wastage 

We’re proud to be participating in this program and helping support our community. By providing free access to essential products, we’re ensuring our members and guests can focus on their health and wellbeing without added barriers. 

For more information, you can read our blog about our new dispensers via our website.
It’s the last week of our 30-20-2 Movement Challenge! 

It’s been so amazing to see so many members of our PARC Fam take on the challenge over the last four weeks! If you completed the AMRAP in Week 1, make sure to do it again this week and record your results to get an extra entry into the prize draw. 

Keep moving, and good luck πŸ₯³
