Bring a buddy to the gym for International Day of Friendship
Tomorrow (Saturday 30 July) is International Day of Friendship, and to celebrate we invite you to bring a friend for free to DeakinACTIVE this Saturday! Plus we’ve also got another special offer at the gym on the day – so keep your eyes peeled! 

Get MOVEing this month

Track your physical activity over the month to collect MOVEs and win some awesome prizes:  

What is a MOVE?
A MOVE is a measurement of physical activity, calculated through your height, weight and predicted energy expenditure when completing an exercise. It’s a fantastic method for measuring activity relative to each individual. 

Example of MOVES: Five flights of stairs = 50 MOVEs; walking for 30 minutes = 200 MOVEs.

So, what are you waiting for – it’s time to get MOVEing! If you haven’t already done so, download the DeakinMOVES app today to get started.  

Join our DeakinPLAY social sports competitions

The season may have started but it’s not too late to join the fun! Free registration is still available. Get your mates together, make up a team, or join DeakinPLAY as an individual (and we’ll add you into a team) for friendly social netball, basketball and badminton competitions.  

Mixed netball, mixed basketball and mixed badminton competitions are being offered at both Burwood and Waurn Ponds campuses. All ages and abilities welcome! Visit the DeakinACTIVE website for more information or to register as a team or individual.
