At Women’s Fitness Adventures, we encourage women to become fitter and stronger for life, through fitness, adventure and a social connection to a like minded community”

Women’s Fitness Adventures started in late 2013, when I decided to take a break from the Corporate world. Being active and having a love of the outdoors led to 12 friends and I hiking the Great Ocean Road in Victoria. Over the course of a week, we challenged ourselves physically, mentally and socially and had an absolute ball.

At school I was never really into sport – sure I would participate but I was never competitive. Instead I focused on trying to be the best version of me in a physical sense by looking after my health. Somewhere between having kids and Corporate work, I seemed to have lost my sense of adventure, fun and simply giving things a go.

I knew that I couldn’t be the only woman who felt this way. So I started Women’s Fitness Adventures, with the idea that any woman can have the option to try new things, without having to have even done it before – and that there are other supportive women around her – who feel exactly the same way.

Now, almost 8 years later, thousands of women have become fitter, stronger and more confident in themselves, simply by being involved. Most importantly though is the community that has been formed, the friendships formed and the memories made.
