🌟 Class Spotlight: LES MILLS SHAPES 🌟

This week marks the final week of our Les Mills Shapes Sunday trial.

💬 Here's what one of our members had to say: "This class is my new favourite! I love the challenge of Pilates and Barre training with reminders to focus on breathing and posture. I always leave feeling stronger. It's a different type of fitness, and I really enjoy it."

While our Sunday trial classes are coming to an end, we're pleased to share that SHAPES will continue every Thursday at 11:15am.

A big thank you to everyone who joined Renee on Sunday mornings. We've loved seeing so many of you bringing your energy and enthusiasm each week! 💜

And for our Sunday crew, stay tuned... we're currently exploring a new Sunday class option and hope to share more details soon. 👀

💪 See you Thursdays at 11:15am for Shapes! 🧘‍♀️✨

💜 It's Wear It Purple Day! 💜

Today we're proudly wearing purple to celebrate inclusion, respect and belonging for LGBTQIA+ young people🏳️‍🌈💜

A simple pop of purple can help start conversations, show support and remind others that they are seen, valued and accepted. Whether you're rocking a purple shirt, ribbon, hat or accessory, thank you for helping create a community where everyone can be themselves.

At Gippsland Regional Aquatic Centre, we're committed to fostering a welcoming environment where diversity is celebrated and everyone feels they belong.

Let's paint the day purple and stand together in support. 💜

💜 Wear It Purple Day is Tomorrow! 💜

Tomorrow we celebrate Wear It Purple Day and this year's theme, Colours of Courage.

We invite our team, members and community to wear a pop of purple and show your support for LGBTQIA+ young people. Whether it's a purple shirt, ribbon, socks, scrunchie or accessory, every splash of purple helps create a more inclusive and welcoming community.

The theme Colours of Courage recognises the many ways LGBTQIA+ people, allies and communities show courage every day. Courage can be loud, creating change and speaking up, or quiet, living authentically, supporting others and being true to yourself.

At Gippsland Regional Aquatic Centre, we are committed to creating a space where everyone feels welcome, valued and respected. No matter who you are or who you love, you belong here.

If you or someone you know needs support, wellbeing resources are available here: 👇
