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!  #ChoosetoChallenge #LoveYourPARC #BeActive #ThisGirlCanVic

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 
💪 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 🏋️‍♀️
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 🥳
