PARC introduces Active Women’s Month!

During March, PARC will be celebrating, supporting and inspiring women to be active! Whatever your situation or ability level we want you to fall in love with exercise and make your health and fitness a priority. 

We want to empower our female members and the broader community to challenge themselves and put their health first. So, we’re hosting a range of seminars to educate and motivate on a range of health and fitness topics: 

 

  • Thursday 11th March, 6.30pm: Women’s Nutrition and challenging your mindset around health & wellbeing 

Join Mel and Mary in an activity based seminar where you can set yourself goals and challenges around nutrition and health and leave with a plan of attack and tips & tricks to succeed!

 

Kim and Erin from the Women’s Spirit Project, which aims to inspire and empower women experiencing disadvantage to transform their lives through fitness, health and wellbeing activities, will join us to talk about the organisation and its inspiring work. 

This promises to be a thought-provoking event where you can learn about this organisation and find out more about the upcoming Frank to Schank Challenge Event Fundraiser in April.

 

  • Thursday 25th March, 6.30pm: Brodie Harper on her active journey in conjunction with This Girl Can week!

We’re supporting the Victorian Government, This Girl Can initiative encouraging more women to give activity a go or return to exercise after a break. Local celebrity and TV host, Brodie Harper, will be joining us to talk about how she got back into exercise after a break.

 

BOOK NOW FOR FREE through the MyPARC app or via our Group Exercise timetable on the website and they’re open to everyone, PARC members and non-members. 

 

It’s International Women’s Day on Monday 8th March and this year the focus is #choosetochallenge so why not think about how you can challenge yourself this month and start a new routine that enables you to get more active? 

We’re also supporting the Victorian Government initiative, This Girl Can Week, that aims to provide opportunities for women to give physical activity a try. From Monday 22nd to Friday 26th March we will be showcasing our beginner classes within our timetable.

PARC loves a challenge and our team is always here to support you every step of the way. We want to celebrate your successes and inspire you to be your best, so get on board and get active this March!

A feel good Friday post for you... Nic kicks two goals, in one! 🏉

Nicole, one of our long term PARC Team members, achieved a life-long dream last weekend. 

Nic has always wanted to play football, and last week, she not only achieved that dream, but kicked her first goal at her very first game! What made it even more special was who she shared it with. Her daughter Bella was her teammate on the field (you might recognise Bella from the PARC Cafe!), her son Billy was the proud goal umpire🌟

Nic is an amazing part of Team PARC, and an example that shows it doesn’t matter how old you are to start something new. If you have a dream or goal that you want to achieve, go for it, we are here to support you! Congrats Nic! 🩵

🩵 Stronger sense of belonging
 
These results show us what we hear from you every day - PARC is much more than a pool or gym.

Achieving your 30-20-2 is easier than you think! 🏋️

Our formula is designed so that you can be active anywhere, anytime. We know it can be more difficult to get your movement in when the weather is cooler, so we wanted to share some simple exercises that you can do at home, without any equipment needed. 

30-20-2 is all about movement in ways that work for you, so remember:
✅ Moving doesn't need to be overwhelming. You can break up your exercise into smaller bite size pieces, such as taking ten minutes three times a day to get your movement in. 
✅ Everybody's fitness level and ability is different, so doing altered movements does not have any less of a positive impact. 
✅ Prioritising your health and wellbeing goals doesn’t just improve your fitness, it changes how you feel, think, and connect with the world around you.
