SMYTHESDALE fitness business GenkiFIT is encouraging the community to get moving and support the SoupBus Ballarat.<\/p>\n

The SoupBus provides hot meals to those in need and on Monday 2 December participants are asked to pay for their workout class at the studio with canned goods, long-life milk, or other non-perishable items.<\/p>\n

People of all ages and abilities are invited to take part and all goods will go directly to the SoupBus Ballarat.<\/p>\n

Jaymee Ellis, owner of GenkiFIT, said the studio is about accessibility and affordability, so it was important to support those in need.<\/p>\n

“There is currently an affordability crisis Australia wide, and we do what we can in terms of the fitness classes but when it comes to thinks like food scarcity and insecurity, I’ve noticed that places like The SoupBus are putting out call-outs all the time,” she said.<\/p>\n

“It’s two-fold because we’re getting those donations and people are essentially getting a free fitness class which is awesome.”<\/p>\n

\"\"
This year has seen demand for the SoupBus\u2019 services grow.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

There will be three classes on offer including strong nation, Pilates, and a ‘soup-er circuit’ class with fun exercises themed around canned goods.<\/p>\n

Classes will be beginner friendly, run from 5.45pm until 8pm and participants can attend one session or all three for their donation.<\/p>\n

“At the moment the need is so high, all donations make a difference,” said Lynda McDonald, The SoupBus’ food coordinator.<\/p>\n

“This year there has been so much need and numbers have gone up on both sites, here on the bus and at Violet Grove.<\/p>\n

“Even just this last week on the bus every night it’s been over 40 people and that’s five nights a week. Everything makes a difference.”<\/p>\n
