Let’s Move for a Better World Postponed

Please be aware that this year’s Let’s Move campaign has been postponed until October. Let’s Move for a Better World is a global campaign, initiated by our gym equipment supplier Technogym. Technogym has decided to postpone until October in order to allow everyone to fully enjoy this social campaign all over the world! We apologise for this delay, and look forward to getting active and MOVING with you in October.

If you have any questions, please contact the PARC Team via marketing@parcfrankston.com.au.

Let’s Move for a Better World is coming back to the Centre this March! And to make sure you are ready to start capturing and donating MOVES, it’s time to download the PARC Fit App now!

What is Let’s Move?

Let’s Move for a Better World is a global campaign to help fight the prevalence of obesity and help change sedentary lifestyles. The goal is to encourage the Frankston community to MOVE, by coming to PARC and “donating” their physical activity (“MOVES”). Each MOVE goes towards a grand prize of Gym Equipment, that we then donate to a local school or community group.

What is the PARC Fit App?

Our new PARC Fit App has been designed by our Health & Fitness Team to help you track and plan your workouts at PARC. We can upload specific programs just for you, or access a full suite of programs from the library. You can also use the App to join the challenge we are running to win great prizes!

Move more in 2026 with 30-20-2 💙

Life is busy, and finding time to exercise can feel overwhelming. Being active isn’t about pushing yourself to the limit — it’s about moving consistently and finding a balance that works for you. And you don’t have to do it alone.

Introducing 30-20-2, our simple movement guide based on the Australian Physical Activity Guidelines, designed to make movement achievable and part of everyday life.

Here’s what it means.

Adults in Australia should aim for:

30 mins moderate activity daily 🚶‍♂️🏊‍♂️
Moderate activity means you’re moving, breathing comfortably, and able to speak in full sentences. Think swimming, a brisk walk, or joining a PARC class.

OR

20 mins vigorous activity daily 🏃‍♂️🚴‍♂️
Vigorous activity gets your heart pumping—you’re breathing hard and speaking in short bursts. Try a cycle class, HIIT session, or a gym workout.

AND

2 strength sessions per week 💪🏋‍♂️
Build strength with resistance training. Try lifting weights the gym, or a Reformer Pilates class.

Throughout 2026, we’ll support you with the right mix of classes, programs, and expert guidance to help you move more, your way.

Come and talk to our friendly team about becoming a member today.
