2-Day Wellbeing Program
The power of exercise
How do you build a regular exercise routine? Exercise is one of the most powerful tools for improving mental health – but getting started can feel overwhelming. That’s where our 2-Day Wellbeing Program comes in! Across two interactive workshops, we’ll equip you with the knowledge, skills and confidence to build your own exercise routine to support your mental health.
Backed by research
Our 2-Day Wellbeing Program was designed by a trainer with bipolar disorder and a clinical psychologist, both of whom discovered firsthand how exercise could help manage mental health. Over time, more and more research has backed up what they experienced: regular movement is an incredible tool for lifting your mood, reducing stress, and improving overall wellbeing. Now, we want to help you tap into those benefits too!

Who can join
The 2-Day Wellbeing Program is designed for anyone 18+ with a mild to moderate mental health condition who is being managed by a medical professional and has a current mental health plan. No fitness level required – just the willingness to move!
What to expect
Each three-hour workshop is designed to empower you with tools and techniques to make exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your life.
