You’re invited: Let’s Move Launch Party, 16 March 5.00pm

Come on down to PARC on Monday 16 March for our famous Let’s Move Launch Party! Our Launch Party kicks off our month long ‘Let’s Move for a Better World’ campaign, focused on fighting obesity and change sedentary lifestyles.

This year our Launch Party will be bigger and better.

Come on down, learn how to donate your MOVES, and get involved in loads of fun, free activities. You don’t want to miss this one.

What is Let’s Move?
Each year Peninsula Aquatic Recreation Centre (PARC) commits to a worldwide campaign called Let’s Move for a Better World, running throughout March and April. This campaign is a global campaign to help fight obesity and 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. In previous years we have hit 3 Million MOVES and donated close to $40,000 worth of Gym Equipment to Frankston High School and McClelland College through this fantastic initiative.

How do I donate moves?
1. Download the PARC Fit App from the App store or goggle play (type in PARC Fit)
2. Once you have downloaded the PARC Fit App, go to the challenge tile and join the Let’s Move for a Better World 2020
3. From 16 March – 4 April, every time you are on the cardio equipment at PARC, donate your MOVES!
4. If you get stuck, please see any of our friendly trainers on the Gym floor.

Join the challenge now for your change to WIN a heart rate monitor
If you download the PARC Fit App and join our Let’s Move Challenge before the Let’s Move Launch Party on Monday 16 March, you go into the draw to WIN a HEART RATE MONITOR valued at $180. The winner will be announced at the Launch Party!

Upcoming HVAC improvement works 🚧👷 

We are undertaking two important HVAC improvement projects at PARC from Monday 5 October to Friday 16 October. 

Rust Air Duct Rectification Works 
We'll be replacing sections of our air ducting that supplies fresh air to our Group Exercise studios. A section of the corridor near the studios will be temporarily closed, with some lockers unavailable while works are underway. Access to Studio 2 and all Group Exercise classes will remain available as normal, with no classes impacted. 

Warm Water Pool Accessible Changeroom Ventilation Upgrade 
The accessible changerooms in Warm Water Pool area will be temporarily closed from Monday 5 – Friday 16 October as we install additional fresh air supply systems to both. Alternative accessible change facilities are available in the Family Change area as well as upstairs, which is accessible via the elevator. Our team will be on hand to assist members who require support.
