Your Pace – setting your intention for 2025

Woman and Personal Trainer looking at treadmill and talking about how to set intentions and goals for 2025

This year is all about your health and wellbeing on your terms, and we believe that your journey is as individual as you are. It’s about pacing yourself over the year, not ‘emptying the tank’ in summer and burning out too quickly. It’s time to move towards success at a pace you set yourself. So, let’s start by setting your Pace at PARC with a Pace Phrase!  

What’s a Pace phrase? Your Pace Phrase is a word that best describes your health and fitness goals or intention for 2025. It can be whatever you want! Whether you want to focus on progression, or maybe setting up a consistent routine, to wanting more balance in your life, your word sets your pace.  

Here are a few ideas to inspire you:  

  • Progress Progressing towards beating your personal best in the gym or advancing to the next stage of swimming classes.
  • Balance – Finding balance in your life, by prioritising mental and emotional health through physical well-being.
  • Strength – Building physical strength and mental resilience to overcome whatever challenges you may face.
  • Community – A year of finding new friends or reconnecting with those who motivate and support your health and fitness goals.
  • Me! – Perhaps it’s simply you, finding your happy place and being the best version of yourself. 

Ask yourself, what Pace phrase describes your health and fitness goals this year? As you explore your Pace remember the PARC team is here to support you every step of the way with a range of options to match your Pace phrase.

A feel good Friday post for you... Nic kicks two goals, in one! 🏉

Nicole, one of our long term PARC Team members, achieved a life-long dream last weekend. 

Nic has always wanted to play football, and last week, she not only achieved that dream, but kicked her first goal at her very first game! What made it even more special was who she shared it with. Her daughter Bella was her teammate on the field (you might recognise Bella from the PARC Cafe!), her son Billy was the proud goal umpire🌟

Nic is an amazing part of Team PARC, and an example that shows it doesn’t matter how old you are to start something new. If you have a dream or goal that you want to achieve, go for it, we are here to support you! Congrats Nic! 🩵

Achieving your 30-20-2 is easier than you think! 🏋️

Our formula is designed so that you can be active anywhere, anytime. We know it can be more difficult to get your movement in when the weather is cooler, so we wanted to share some simple exercises that you can do at home, without any equipment needed. 

30-20-2 is all about movement in ways that work for you, so remember:
✅ Moving doesn't need to be overwhelming. You can break up your exercise into smaller bite size pieces, such as taking ten minutes three times a day to get your movement in. 
✅ Everybody's fitness level and ability is different, so doing altered movements does not have any less of a positive impact. 
✅ Prioritising your health and wellbeing goals doesn’t just improve your fitness, it changes how you feel, think, and connect with the world around you.
