MOVING EVERYBODY,
EVERY DAY.

Active Geelong’s mission is to inspire the Geelong community to participate in enjoyable physical activity opportunities so people can experience the many benefits of regular movement. Finding the motivation to stay active isn’t always easy, which is why Active Geelong continues to explore innovative ways to support people on their physical activity journey.

WHAT DOES THE MOVEMENT MOTIVATOR ENTAIL?

It’s a clinically designed and personalised FREE program which runs over a period of 6 weeks. When signing up, you will be asked a few simple questions to ensure it is safe for you exercise.

By safe we mean that you don’t have any health conditions that would put you at risk and that you haven’t been advised by a doctor not to exercise. There will also be a few questions related to how much physical activity you are currently doing.  Based on this information, we will help you to set weekly achievable activity goals. Goal setting and tracking progress are two key motivators for keeping you active. Each week you will also receive a few personalised messages on WhatsApp to keep you motivated and informed. If you reach your weekly goals, you have the opportunity to earn incentives from Active Geelong’s partners.
