Find your...

True strength comes from more than just physical exercise - it comes from finding your community!

Our ‘Find your…’ campaign is all about empowering women and girls to find their place, their community, their friends and their fun to improve their physical and mental wellbeing. 

Find your place: Live your life with no limits

Everyone has unique strengths and abilities, and we want to help you find your place by moving more and being active where you can thrive. Whether you're a seasoned athlete or just starting out, there's a place for you in our inclusive and supportive community.

Find your community: Live a healthy life

Wellbeing is not just about getting in shape, it's about building connections and finding a community that uplifts and supports you. Our community is a safe space where you can share your goals, inspire others, and receive motivation when you need it most.

Find your friends: Get support from people around you

In this journey you won't just find fitness buddies, you'll find lifelong friends who share your passion for living a healthy and active lifestyle. When you surround yourself with like-minded individuals, you'll find that your limits are only the beginning of what's possible.

Find your fun: Be your own inspiration

Beyond personal growth, our campaign believes in making a positive impact. As a community, we will organise activities for all to enjoy, take part and have fun.
