📰 South Cares Partners with Bodyfit to Empower Young People Through Fitness

South Cares is proud to partner with Bodyfit to provide young people from our Deadly Youth Mentoring Program and Nanga Mai Marri Program with the opportunity to participate in structured gym sessions that promote health, wellbeing, and personal growth.

Over the past four weeks, participants have attended weekly gym classes facilitated by the experienced team at Bodyfit. The sessions have given young people valuable experience in a gym environment, helping them become more comfortable and confident using fitness equipment while learning about safe and effective exercise techniques.

Each week, participants were introduced to a new gym program, allowing them to develop a range of fitness skills and experience different styles of training. Under the guidance of the Bodyfit trainers, they learned how to use equipment correctly, follow structured workouts, and work towards their individual fitness goals in a supportive and encouraging environment.

Beyond improving their physical fitness, the program has helped participants build confidence, resilience, and self-discipline while encouraging healthy lifestyle habits. The young people embraced each session with enthusiasm, supporting one another and challenging themselves to step outside their comfort zones.

This partnership reflects South Cares' commitment to creating meaningful opportunities that support the holistic development of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people. By working together with community partners like Bodyfit, we can provide experiences that promote wellbeing, positive connections, and lifelong healthy habits.

South Cares would like to thank the Bodyfit team for their ongoing support and for creating such a welcoming and inclusive environment for our young people. We look forward to continuing this partnership and providing more opportunities for participants to grow in confidence, develop new skills, and achieve their personal goals.
