Celebrate Dad this Father’s Day!

Father’s Day is our chance to say thanks to all the legendary Pappa Bears out there, and we want to help you celebrate the special Dads and father figures in your life.

COMPETITION DAY: Who would like to spoil their Dad with a one-month free membership to PARC?

Simply tag a superhero father figure on our giveaway post on Facebook or Instagram, and tell us what makes him so special to you in the comments section, and he will go into the draw to win.

One comment and tag equals one entry, and yes, you can nominate more than one superhero dad. Entries close on Sunday 5 September at 5.00pm, AEST. The winner will be drawn at random and notified on Thursday 9 September.

Thinking of how you’re going to fill the day this Sunday?

Don’t worry, we have you covered on PARC Your Way with two awesome LIVE sessions for the whole family!

10am – Family HIIT with Mary

  • Family orientated, freestyle session with plenty of options for everyone
  • Finishing with mindfulness experience, meditation and stretch.

11am – Family Zumba, Dance off! with July

  • That’s right…it’s a good old fashion Family Dance Off session and fun for the whole family!
  • Dad moves welcomes and absolutely encouraged!

PS. If you join our LIVE family classes on PARC Your Way this Sunday, upload a story or post of you working out to Instagram and tag us @parcfrankston, you get FIVE additional entries into the draw to win.

You can check out our LIVE class timetable here. If you haven’t signed up to PARC Your Way yet, you can do so here. It is FREE for everyone to use!

We truly hope your dad or special man has a wonderful Father’s Day. Thank you dads out there, you are incredible!

Have you heard of Incidental Exercise? 🧹🚶‍♀️

Incidental exercise is physical activity that occurs naturally as part of your daily routine! It’s the small bursts of activity you accumulate throughout the day, such as carrying in the groceries, or playing with the kids, that helps you achieve your 30-20-2.

Some examples of Incidental Exercise are:
– Doing housework like vacuuming, mopping, or gardening
– Walking up stairs instead of taking elevator or escalator
– Parking further away from your destination to get your steps up
– Walking during lunch breaks, or having a standing meeting

Remember, all movement counts! 🌟

For more information about 30-20-2, or helpful resources and workouts to get you moving, head to our Digital Hub.

Help us ensure PARC is a safe venue for the whole community to enjoy 🏊

At PARC, we participate in the statewide Watch Around Water program. Watch Around Water is an education and public awareness-raising program that defines the minimum supervision requirements for children in a pool setting.

When visiting PARC, your child will be given a coloured wristband, based on their age. These wristbands help our lifeguards identify the level of supervison required for your child, and support a safe aquatic environment for everyone.

Learn more about the Watch Around Water program, via the link in our bio.
