At Your Pace at PARC

January 1, 2025

Welcome to 2025!

As we step into the new year, we’re excited to introduce our 2025 theme: At your PACE with PARC. Building on the foundation of Your People, Your Purpose, Your Place, this year’s theme encourages you to embrace health and wellbeing on your terms. At PARC, we believe health and wellbeing are as individual as you are – and we’re here to help you find what works best for you.

At PARC, we offer a range of options to match your rhythm. Whether you’re seeking the high-energy vibes of Powerzone, the meditative flow of Pilates, or a rejuvenating soak in our spa, you’ll find exactly what you need to progress at your pace. Whatever your goals, find your unique fit with us.

This year, it’s all about progression – your way.

Here’s a few tips to help you find your pace at PARC:

Discover the activities that speak to you
Explore our diverse range of services and programs and find what resonates with you. Not a runner? Dive in for a swim. Need relaxation? Carve out some time for yourself in the spa. Your journey, your rules.
Celebrate your wins
No milestone is too small. Whether it’s taking your first step into the gym, going from walking the warm water pool to running in the water, mastering a new stretch or pose in yoga, or hitting a new personal best, every achievement deserves recognition. It’s not about being perfect, its all about progressing – just move forward – at your own pace.
Stay supported
At PARC, our team is here to cheer you on, offer expert advice, and help you stay motivated. Some people like lots of help and connection with others. Whereas some people like to put their headphones on and workout alone. And that is fine. You do you, and we will be there whatever you need.

Let 2025 be the year you find Your Pace

Your health and wellbeing journey doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s. Start where you are, explore what feels right, and build from there. This year, embrace the idea that fitness isn’t just about intensity – it’s about intention. No matter your speed – fast, steady, or evolving – PARC is here to support your journey every step of the way.

Let’s set some goals for summer, and see what happens from here on out!
