Move more in 2026 with 30-20-2

Welcome to 2026!  

This year, we want to get our community moving more, in a way that works for them.  

In our busy lives, finding time to exercise can be a challenge. Our days are already packed with to-do lists and commitments, and adding one more “to-do” can seem impossible. Add to that all the online noise telling us what we should, or shouldn’t do, finding the right kind of movement for you might feel overwhelming.  

The thing is, being active isn’t about just about fitness and giving 100% all the time, it’s about living well consistently, and finding the gentle balance that works for you.  

So, where do I start? 
That’s where we come in; because on your wellness journey, you shouldn’t have to do it alone.  To support you in moving more, we have come up with a simple guide to help you get started. 

We are excited to introduce 30-20-2. 
Our 30‑20‑2 formula is based on the Australian National Physical Activity Guidelines. Simply put, they are a guide on how much movement you need each day or each week to feel your best. It’s an easy way to make movement achievable, flexible, 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. Our expert trainers can create a personalised plan for you, or you can try a Reformer Pilates class.  

Throughout 2026, we’ll support you to meet your 30-20-2 through the right mix of classes, programs, workouts, and services tailored to your goals and lifestyle. You’ll also see new blogs, events, videos and resources designed to help you keep moving and stay motivated. 

Together, we can achieve your goals, your way. Become a member today.

Bright bathers = safer swimmers 🌈🩳 

Our PARC Swim team demonstrate that when it comes to swimwear for little ones, the right colour can matter! 

🟡 Bright colours like neon orange, pink, yellow or lime green can be easier to spot. 
🔵 While some dark or pale colours and may disappear in busy pools or in open water. 

As we enter the height of Summer, and more of us in and around water, help your children stand out for all the right reasons! 

Go bright, go bold, and stay safer around water!
