Yesterday, as a part of National Childhood Educators Day we celebrated the incredible educators at PARC who play a vital role in our community. 👶

Their dedication and passion help create a safe and nurturing environment for our little ones, giving parents the peace of mind to focus on their fitness and health. 💙

Our amazing educators are not just caregivers — they help the kids of our PARC community learn and grow while parents get their much-needed “me time.”

Thank you to our Childcare team for all you do to support our families and make PARC a special place!

Last month, PARC staff member Wayne competed the Shepparton Marathon and finished with a time of 3hrs 30min 38sec! After months of preparation, he powered through a challenging course and crushed it! Finishing first in his age group (70+) by more than 1 hour and 10 minutes to the next racer! 🏃‍

For Wayne, being active is key to his overall health. “Running has always been my way of staying healthy, I see it as the most efficient way of keeping my heart working as best it can”. Working at PARC also helps keep him on his feet, active, moving and social, playing a big role in his fitness and recovery. ❤️

Wayne’s story is a testament to the benefits of exercising at any age. We are so impressed by Wayne’s dedication to his fitness and is a true inspiration to us all! 🥇

Looking to improve your running fitness? Why not join our PARC Fit Run Club, scheduled for Monday and Wednesday evenings at 5:30pm as well as Wednesday morning at 5:45am.

Our Run Club is open to all Full Access members. Book in via Xplor Customer Portal today.

Our new decal is up on the gym wall! 💙

As we celebrate 10 years of being part of the community, we’d love our PARC Fam to tell us what PARC means to you? How has this place made a difference in your life?

Tell us, why is PARC your PLACE?

Head upstairs to the gym and grab to a card to add to the decal on the wall. We would really love to hear from our PARC community about your place at PARC, now, or over the past decade.
