Celebrate International Women’s Day at PARC

#BreakTheBias with us at PARC! 

Join us as we celebrate women’s achievement and raise awareness against bias on Tuesday 8 March.

International Women’s Day is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. The day focuses on accelerating gender parity and is all about unity, celebration, reflection, advocacy and action. International Women’s Day has been occurring for well over a century – and continues to grow from strength to strength.

Come to PARC for FREE

At PARC we are surrounded by an amazing community of women, and men, and want to invite the community down to the facility for FREE from 8am – 3pm on Tuesday 8 March. We want to #breakthebias and break down the financial barrier of being active and enjoying recreation and time for yourself, so please come one, come all! PARC is an inclusive space to feel safe, and focus on your health and wellbeing.

Join our #BreakTheBias Workouts

We are also holding a series of #BreakTheBias Workouts, to demonstrate that being strong is for everyone. So often we see women reluctant to go into the gym and give it a go, thinking that weights and strength are ‘for men’. But let’s break this stereotype and show our community that being strong and looking after yourself is for everyone. We are offering free community events, including:

  • #BreakTheBias Strength 7.15-8.00am at PARC Health Club Outrace (BOOK FOR FREE HERE)
  • #BreakTheBias Strength 10.00-10.45am at PARC Health Club Outrace (BOOK FOR FREE HERE). Special note – This session will be led by our recently awarded Aquatics & Recreation Victoria Personal Trainer of the Year Pru Drago!
  • Join us for a quick grab and go breakfast from 8am – 10am on your way in or out of the Health Club.
  • #BreakTheBias Me Time 7pm from the comfort of your home via www.parcyourway.com.au. Yoga, Meditation and Stretch Flow to see your day out. Join LIVE and FREE via www.parcyourway.com.au/categories/live-class (no bookings required, you will just need to create a free account to log in).

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.
