Let’s keep Canberra ACTIVE!

Posted on 21 March, 2020

In these difficult times, it’s never been more important to stay active—both for your physical and mental health. Canberra businesses—we need your help us keep our community active by providing virtual fitness activities!

For the last six months or so, we’ve been hosting HerCanberra’s Get ACTIVE with the support of the ACT Government’s Participation Innovation Fund. It was planned to be an entire year of free fitness activities to not only help you get active, but to facilitate social connection.

Well, these times demand we shake things up a bit. And we need local fitness providers’ help to do it! We’ve already kicked off a weekly HerWorkout series with Capital Hydrotherapy owner and exercise physiologist Kirra Rankin, but our aim is to gather enough activities that there’s something for each and every body and exercise preference.

We’re calling for expressions of interest from those interested in running free virtual fitness sessions over the next couple of months. You might live stream a yoga class via Facebook Live, host a Google Hangout bootcamp, or even lead a dance class via Zoom. We just need to think outside the square.

These classes do need to be free for participants, but they offer host businesses a chance to build their community during a time when we’re all looking for connection. We’ll promote your classes to our readers (there are around 150,000 of them!) and you’ll be playing a valuable role in keeping Canberra bodies and minds healthy.

Interested in being a part of it? Simply fill in the Google form below and we’ll do the rest! Still have questions? Simply email hello@hercanberra.com.au.

We can do this, together.
