How you can get your 30-20-2 at PARC 💪
Our theme for this year is 30 or 20 plus 2, a simple formula to help you move more and reach the National Physical Activity Guidelines.
Everyone’s fitness journey is different, and at PARC there are so many different ways you can achieve 30-20-2.
➡️ Moderate activity: enjoy a walk on the treadmill, try a Tai Chi or Yoga Class, or jump into the pool for some gentle lap swimming.
➡️ Vigorous activity: Join a HIIT class, try an interval session on the treadmill or bike, or get moving with Zumba.
➡️ Strength session: Complete a body weight workout, enjoy weight lifting or try a Reformer Strength class.
These are just a few fantastic options that you can choose from at PARC. This year we want to support you moving in a way that suits you. Chat to one of our friendly gym floor team members or trainers to see how you can get your 30-20-2.
