A free four-week initiative designed to inspire women and girls across the Shire to embrace an active and healthy lifestyle will launch next month, aiming to empower participants and continue their healthy habits long after the program ends.

The first program will start from 1 March to 29 March 2025, with bookings opening at 8am on 10 February 2025 and closing on 16 February.

Participants are encouraged to register early to secure their spot and commit to prioritising their health during this transformative four-week journey.

Cr Andrea Friend, Co-Chair of the Recreation and Culture Committee, said the program, supported by the Queensland Government, aims to engage those who are currently not active in regular physical activity, helping them build confidence and long-lasting habits that enhance both physical and mental wellbeing.

“This initiative is about more than just physical activity—it’s about building confidence, creating a sense of community, and fostering habits that will benefit participants for a lifetime,” Cr Friend said.

“The program takes a holistic approach to health, incorporating mindset development and goal setting, nutrition education, stress management and relaxation techniques, sleep improvement strategies, building self-esteem and confidence as well as creating long-term physical and mental health habits.

“Council is proud to be facilitating this fantastic initiative, and I look forward to seeing the women and girls in our Shire take part in this transformative program!”

Owner of Nexus Cap Coast, Geraldene Bell expressed her excitement about being part of the program.
