On September 13, Train Fitness Professionals (TFP) Torquay will host a group Metafit session to provide people an opportunity to start talking to one another about mental health.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In support of September\u2019s R U OK? initiative where Australians are encouraged to have a conversation with friends and family and ask, \u2018are you ok?\u2019, TFP will run a gold coin charity session at Torquay Pavilion from 10.30am until 11am.<\/p>\n

According to the R U OK? site, 2,866 Australians died by suicide in 2016 (around eight people per day) so the earlier you start having conversations and destigmatize mental health, the better.<\/p>\n

Owner of TFP Lisa-Marie Brayshaw said Metafit is a 30 minute HIIT style class (High Intensity Interval Training) that combines traditional bodyweight exercises with the latest HIIT training techniques to set the metabolism on fire.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe session is called \u2018Big Buff\u2019 and is dedicated to a Royal Marine Commando friend of Justin (creator of Metafit) \u201cBuff\u201d who sadly lost his battle with PTSD and depression,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe workout is as tough as he was and has been created to raise some awareness for anyone out there struggling with a similar condition.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ms Brayshaw said R U OK? promotes four conversation steps: Ask R U OK?, listen, encourage action and then check in.<\/p>\n

\u201cLook after yourselves, family and your friends, sometimes a text, email or even better a call can be priceless,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
