You set the PACE in 2025. Now let’s get ready for 2026!

As 2025 draws to a close, we’re taking a moment to reflect on the incredible year we’ve shared with our PARC community. 

This year’s theme Your PACE at PARC encouraged you to embrace health and wellbeing on your terms. Because at PARC, we know that feeling good and staying active looks different for everyone. Our role is to help you discover what works best for you. 

It’s been a year of highlights for us, too. We were proud to be recognised with Facility of the Year Award and as an Outstanding Employer – achievements made possible thanks to the people who bring this place to life: YOU!  

But the real highlight? Watching you succeed on your health and wellbeing journey. 
Our members and guests have shown us that progress doesn’t follow one path or one pace. Whether you’re building confidence, finding your rhythm, or pushing new limits, your stories have inspired us every step of the way. This year taught us that living well isn’t necessarily about pushing harder – it’s about being intentional with how you move and care for yourself. 

2026: Step into something new 
As we look ahead, we’re excited for all that 2026 will bring. Our focus next year is simple: helping more of our community get moving, stay active, and make movement a natural part of everyday life. 

Throughout 2026, we’ll support you with the right mix of classes, programs, workouts, and services tailored to your goals and lifestyle. You can also look forward to fresh blogs, events, videos, and resources – all designed to keep you motivated, inspired, and moving.  

Thank you for a fun, fit, friendly and fantastic 2025 
Thank you for showing up – for yourself, and for our PARC community. Let’s step boldly into 2026 with a commitment to feeling stronger, moving more, and finding joy in every step along the way.

This week, our PARC Swim team have organised some Commonwealth Games themed fun, to celebrate our Aussie athletes, who are absolutely dominating this year! 🥇

To celebrate, our PARC Swim teachers will include a small segment in this week’s lessons, using our snakes and ladders game, aligning a swimming activity with a participating sporting event 🏊🏃

Make sure to check out our activity table, and show support for Australia, or any other participating country by wearing their colours to your lesson this week! 
Have you heard of Habit Stacking? 🤔

It's a great way to add movement into your day by pairing small exercises with habits you already do - helping you be active and achieve 30-20-2, even when life is busy!

You can incorporate simple exercises into your daily task, such as:
- Squats while the kettle boils - turn waiting time into movement time.
- Calf raises while brushing your teeth - two minutes of strength, twice a day.
- Lunges down the hallway - every trip becomes a mini workout.
- Marching on the spot while folding laundry- complete some of your vigorous or moderate exercise every trip.
- Glute squeezes while sitting at your desk - perfect for busy workdays.

Remember, all movement counts 🙌

For more information about 30-20-2, or helpful resources and workouts to get you moving, head to our Digital Hub.
We go wherever the wind takes us, and it always leads us back here 🩵
