Daughters of the West returns

Daughters of the West is back in 2025 to help women in Maribyrnong improve their health, fitness and wellbeing, while having fun and making friends at the same time.

Modelled on the Sons of the West program aimed at improving the health, fitness and wellbeing of men, Daughters of the West is also an initiative of the Western Bulldogs Community Foundation and is run in conjunction with Maribyrnong council.

The free 10 week health and wellbeing program is designed for women of all ages and features tailored exercises, nutrition and mental health advice and access to local health and fitness experts.

Daughters of the West is not just held in Maribyrnong, but at venues right across the western suburbs, including Hobsons Bay, Brimbank, Melton, Wyndham and online.

Maribyrnong mayor Pradeep Tiwari said Daughters of the West was a valuable program for women in our community.

“Council and the Western Bulldogs Community Foundation are proud to be hosting Daughters of the West in our community for the eighth year,” Cr Tiwari said.

“This free program helps women from all backgrounds access support and to make their health and wellbeing a priority.”

Registrations for the 2025 Daughters of the West program are now open, with sessions scheduled to begin between July 21 and 24 depending on the venue.
