All-Star and Training Buddies needed

Fight4Balance (F4B) is an Australian registered charity dedicated to improving the lived experience and wellbeing of adolescent youth with learning and perceptual disabilities and their families.  F4B is launching a new online exercise and community-participation program adapted for adolescent youth with mild-moderate cognitive & perceptual disabilities called: Fit-4myFightClub (Fit4myFC)

The Fit4myFC Program is aimed at connecting and growing a community of families and a buddy network to improve individual health outcomes and strengthen family/community bonds.  F4B are looking for both participants, ALL STARS, and TRAINING BUDDIES.  A number of Terracians have previously been involved as Training Buddies, all speaking enthusiastically about the joy they experienced being part of the programs.

Program Highlights:

  • This is a self-paced, progressive exercise program delivered over 11-weeks which participants fit in with their individual weekly schedules  
  • 20min videocasts exercise sessions of varying levels delivered online
  • Videocasts feature progressive exercise skills instructed by our team of qualified Clinical Exercise Physiologists and demonstrated by guest ALL-STARS & TRAINING BUDDIES
  • No exercise or gym equipment required
  • Age and gender matched TRAINING BUDDIES participate in weekly exercise sessions under our Inclusive Youth-Leadership Buddy Program; with no face-to-face contact  
  • TRAINING BUDDIES are matched with ALL-STARS by our Medical & Allied Health Clinical Panel via our secure online web-based platform (de-identified) 
  • TRAINING BUDDIES and their families are invited to join the program at no cost. 

Get Involved:    

ALL-STARS and their families are invited to participate in this 11-week program at an introductory cost of $77.00 per/family. 

Please note:  It is important to the success & experience of ALL-STARS (our affected youth) that a parent/guardian/sibling participate in the weekly instructional exercise skills alongside their ALL-STAR (as their home exercise partner).
