The move runs from April 3rd – June 30th, and having just passed the half way point YMCA WA has been thrilled to see girls making the most of the offer, while also still having time to do so if they haven’t already.
“We’re really proud to be taking part in this initiative that focuses on helping young girls become happier and healthier through physical activity,” Acting Executive Manager of Service Delivery Brooke Draper said.
“We see this as a fantastic opportunity for young girls to become more involved in their local community while taking part in exercise without any restrictions like costs, so we really encourage anyone to join in who hasn’t already.”
A range of health and wellness centres around the state have extended a variety of different free offers for young people, including basketball shooting passes, group fitness classes, health club access, ‘Teen Fit’ gym usage, ‘Young Gunz’ group personal training classes and more.
With a number of 12-19 year olds having made the most of the deal already, there’s still another five weeks for the offer to be claimed. Young girls can use the following services and facilities for 30 days unlimited access:
