Registrations are now open for Daughters of the West 2024, presented by the Western Bulldogs Community Foundation and Maribyrnong council.

The free, 10-week program invites women aged 18 and over to explore their health, wellbeing and community.

Maribyrnong council said each week, participants will hear from speakers on a range of topics.

The speakers will lead an interactive discussion on various health topics such as nutrition, mental fitness, health screenings and more.

Participants will then be guided by fitness experts in tailored exercise sessions, and welcomed into an inclusive and supportive space that welcomes women of all backgrounds.

The Western Bulldogs said the sessions will include group based exercise, with supportive exercise staff.

“There are two to three exercise groups based on level of intensity (low, medium and high) to ensure all fitness levels and abilities can get the most out of it,” they said.

“The aim of the program is to empower women to make their health and wellbeing a priority by giving them the tools and knowledge.”

It will also be an opportunity for participants to connect with local women around the Maribyrnong area.

The program will commence on Tuesday, July 16, at 6.30pm in Footscray, or Thursday, July 18, at 10.15am in Maribyrnong.
