BTB WOMEN IS BACK!

We’re excited to announce the return of our BTB Women’s sessions!

These used to be a staple of our Saturday mornings at Monty Scout Hall, and we’ve been wanting to bring them back for a while.

Starting Thursday 17 September at 6pm, BTB Women is a chance to move, connect and spend an hour with a good group of people.

No expectations. No need to be “fit” before you come. Just turn up and get involved.

FREE and open to women of all fitness levels and abilities.

Well that was short lived!

Thanks to coach Dave for stepping in, Monday night sessions are back on!

Our Monday night 6pm sessions will be taking a break for a couple weeks.

Our Saturday 6.30am sessions will be running as normal.

For a long time, I’ve had an idea sitting in the back of my mind.

Not another fitness event. Not another mental health talk.

Just an opportunity to bring good people together and get blokes thinking about their health.

Life gets busy.

Work. Kids. Sport. The mortgage.

Before you know it, another year has gone by.

Beyond the Barbell: Men’s Health Project has been created to encourage those conversations.

This November, we’ll bring together local health professionals, experts and lived experience speakers for a relaxed community event focused on practical advice, honest conversations and genuine connection.

No scare tactics.

No lectures.

Just a morning that might encourage one bloke to take the next step.

We’ll be sharing more over the coming months, including our guest speakers and how to get involved.

If this sounds like something you’d like to be part of, we’d love to have you along.
