Barwon Health is encouraging Geelong workers to get active with its November campaign Spring into Action.
Developed in collaboration with the City of Greater Geelong, Active Geelong, Department of Justice and Community Safety and local workplaces, Spring into Action is a month-long promotion giving people the opportunity to improve their health and fitness.
More than 20 physical activity providers are taking part in the campaign, offering special rates all November for a range of activities including gym, yoga, boxing, rock climbing, circus, forest walks and ballroom dancing.
Healthy Communities Unit co-manager Owen Pietsch said the campaign had been developed to prioritise inclusivity and equity.
“Participants can easily find information about activities with access to childcare, disability and support-friendly options, women-only programs, LGBTIQA+ inclusive spaces and support for seniors.”
“Participating in Spring into Action provides multiple benefits, including improved physical health, better mental wellbeing, and the opportunity to strengthen community connections.”
“We encourage local employees to take advantage of this initiative. Whether you participate on your own, with colleagues or friends, now is the time to explore new activities and embrace a healthier lifestyle together.”
