PARC Closure Lockdown Extension – Monday 16 August

In line with the lockdown extension announced, sadly PARC will have to remain closed for a further 2 weeks. We hope to reopen on Friday 3 September, unless there is another Government announcement advising otherwise.

Memberships remain on suspension during this further lockdown period. All membership accounts will be credited for the closure period. This will be applied at the next direct debit payment. 

Stuck inside? Here’s some things you can do to feel good, stay connected and keep moving!

  • Join an Online Group Personal Training session: Delivered via video from the comfort of your home, join the PARC Personal Trainers you know and love. Offered at a discount throughout the closure, these bookings are available here.
  • Get your kids onto PARC Your Way: Sick of the home schooling headaches? We offer FREE, online Active Kids classes via PARC Your Way. Active Kids provides 20 minutes of energy burning fun for your 5 to 12 year olds. The classes cover everything from dance, circuit, balance, agility and mindfulness.Why not share the link with your friends and their little ones too? All they need to do is sign up for free here! View the Active Kids library here.
  • Challenge a loved one to meet you online for a class: We know for many of you, working out is as much about being with your friends and community, as it is about being fit and healthy. Invite your friends to get online at the same time as you and do a LIVE PARC Your Way class. You can use the Live Chat functionality to connect with the instructor, and hold each other accountable! Check out our LIVE timetable here, and view the Live Chat How To instructions here.  

Thank you all for your understanding and support during this really hard time. We feel humbled by the community that is the PARC Fam! Like you, we are disappointed that our return to Centre is still a way off. In keeping the Centre closed and following the restrictions, we are doing our bit to help reopen our doors sooner! If you have any queries, please email us at info@parcfrankston.com.au.

The month of October is Walktober! 🚶‍♀️

This is a great opportunity to build more movement into your day, especially coming out of the winter months, and work towards your 30-20-2! Here are five tips from our Health and Fitness Team, on how you can get more steps in this Walktober: 

🛗 Take the stairs - Skip the lift when you can. 
🚗 Park further away - Add a few hundred steps before you've even started your day. 
📞 Walk while you talk - Take phone calls or catch-ups on the move. 
🌯 Do a lap at lunchtime - Even 10 minutes counts. 
🖥️ Step on the spot - Take a minute, and get some steps in at your desk

As always, if you need any help or guidance in getting your 30-20-2, please don’t hesitate to speak with one of our friendly staff members, or visit our Digital Hub for some inspiration.
