We’ve made changes to our Youth Memberships

It’s the new year and we wanted to let you know of some exciting changes we’ve made to our Youth Memberships. These changes are based on member feedback, to better cater to the needs of our young members and their health and fitness objectives.

WHAT’S NEW?

New age brackets: We have reviewed our age brackets and access levels and now have these 3 levels for membership:

  Age Wrist band to be worn in Centre Access to gym Pools Group exercise classes
Active Teen 16 – 17 years Blue Unlimited Unlimited Unlimited, can book via the My PARC App
Active Youth 13 – 15 years Orange Unlimited Unlimited, excluding hydrotherapy area A selection of Youth specific Group Exercise classes
Active Kids 10 – 12 years Yellow Supervising Adult must be in the Centre Supervising Adult must be watching A selection of Youth specific Group Exercise classes

 

Time and supervision restrictions lifted: We are introducing increase supervised programming for our Youth Members which means that previous time and supervision restrictions have been lifted. Now, Active Teens and Active Youth can attend the gym anytime, without supervision. Active Kids require a Supervising Adult in the Centre.

Dedicated group exercise classes: We are introducing youth only group exercises classes, including Youth Circuit, Youth Strength and Youth Boxing. These strength-based classes will focus on education, with correct warm up, mobility and cool down. We also offer Family Boxing, which means you can go fisty-cuffs and have some fun with your little ones!

Strength training opportunities: Our Youth members have been telling us they want to do weights. We are introducing regular check ins and bespoke, personalised programs that may allow for some weight-based training. This will be assessed on a case by case.

All of this, and no additional fees! We are really excited about these changes.

If you have any questions, please speak to any of our trainers on the floor, or email healthandfitness@parcfrankston.com.au.

Unplug24
Join us in going off social media for a day on 24 October. 

This Saturday, on 24 October, we are joining Unplug24, a 24-hour break from social media in solidarity with SmackTalk – an organisation founded by local Wayne Holdsworth to honour his son, Mac, and raise awareness around suicide prevention.

Unplug24 encourages us to step away from social media and reconnect offline to:
🔌 Protect mental health
🔌 Raise awareness to prevent suicide
🔌 Support vital education and awareness programs

Let’s join together and unplug from all social media for the day – at work and at home – to show our support for this important cause.

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.
