Free sessions, six venues, no catch

Council's Get Active program is running free sessions across the municipality, offering several ways to get moving without committing to a paid membership.

Options include a social run club at Bundoora Park, tai chi and walking basketball at the Darebin International Sports Centre and Narrandji Stadium on Darebin Road, Thornbury.

Northcote Aquatic and Recreation Centre on Victoria Road hosts indoor cycling and a gentle walking group, while Reservoir Leisure Centre offers a small-group strength and balance class for older adults.

Whether you are looking for something social, a gentler activity or a reason to try somewhere new, the program offers a useful starting point. Check individual session details, availability and booking requirements through the council website before heading along.
