Hi ,
In this newsletter, we discuss new findings on the reasons people join the gym, a special winter partnership, low-cost counselling options (available nationwide, virtual), the Winter Wellbeing Bundle, and more. Why more Kiwis are hitting the gym — for their minds, not just their muscles More and more people are joining gyms not just to get fit, but to support their mental wellbeing. In Aotearoa and around the world, mental health is now one of the top reasons people exercise, especially for younger generations. See this article for more. Movement is increasingly recognised as a powerful way to reduce stress, lift mood, improve sleep, and feel more connected. And it doesn't have to mean high-intensity workouts or hours at the gym. Finding a type of movement that works for you — whether that's walking the dog, dancing in the kitchen, gentle stretching, or heading out for a swim — is what really matters. That said, we know it's harder to stay active in the colder months, and that not everyone has easy access to gyms or fitness spaces. If that's the case for you, consider any kind of movement that brings a sense of energy, calm, or connection. There's no one-size-fits-all approach. If you haven't already, you might like to explore our free online course, Empowered. It includes a short, supportive module on movement and how it can contribute to your overall wellbeing — especially when tailored to your own pace and needs. And for those looking to take the next step, we're excited to share our winter partnership with Club Physical — a chance to support your own wellbeing and support mental health across Aotearoa at the same time.
