About our Groups

How a group is structured really depends on what works best for that community, if there is a gym, PT or walking trails available and who comes along!

For example, we have gym groups that are mainly attended by male farmers

(& friends) at Maitland, Freeling, Kimba and Kadina. While other groups are attended by male and females of all ages, meeting for a 'walk and talk' session at Tanunda and Saddleworth. We even had a group including parents and children in Owen that met before school, while their children were growing up.

​

The City to Bay is our big event for the year that brings all our teams together and of course, anyone is welcome to join us.

​

Keep an eye out for registration around the middle of the year!

Regular exercise has many benefits for both physical and mental health - it can reduce the risk of chronic diseases, help you to lose weight, reduce stress and even help manage mental health issues such as depression and anxiety. Exercise also improves sleep, which helps you function better and feel more motivated. It can even make you smarter as exercise improves clarity of thinking and memory! 

​

Anyone living in rural Australia is welcome to join us as we know that it can be tough to find the time to make exercise a priority! We are inclusive of all fitness levels, shapes and sizes. Find your local group on the map below or contact us about starting a new one! We are also beginning to offer some other options that can be done from anywhere, so please get in touch to find out more...
