Sons of the West is back for 2026 – and registrations are now open!

Sons of the West is a free, ten‑week men’s health and wellbeing program for men aged 18+, delivered across two locations in Ballarat, starting in mid-April.

Each week, participants attend a two‑hour session that brings together:

  • Health education – including topics like men’s health, cooking and nutrition, gender equity, and everyday wellbeing.
  • Social connection – a welcoming space to meet others, have a laugh, and feel part of a group.
  • Physical activity – guided, inclusive movement sessions suitable for all fitness levels and abilities.

Participants receive free access to health professionals, including an Exercise Physiologist, Personal Trainer and Mental Health Support, who meet you where you’re at and help you build confidence at your own pace.

Whether you’re looking to move more, learn something new, challenge yourself, or just connect with others in a supportive and fun environment – Sons of the West is for you.

“Sons is a very good platform to start thinking and take action to improve mental and physical health.”– 2025 Sons of the West participant
