Every Thursday, Rocco leads a stretch class at St Kilda PCYC where people can slow down, move their bodies and take time for themselves. Some come to improve flexibility and mobility, while others want to complement their regular exercise. For many, the chance to share a friendly class is just as important as the physical benefits.
You do not need to be especially flexible or fit, and you do not need to know anyone before you arrive. The class is designed to be welcoming and accessible: simply come as you are. A friendly hello, an encouraging word or a shared laugh can make a real difference, particularly for someone feeling isolated or facing a difficult week.
Community spaces such as St Kilda PCYC bring together people of different ages, backgrounds and abilities. They offer an affordable alternative to commercial fitness centres and create connections that grow naturally through regular participation.
The stretch class runs every Thursday from 10.30 am to 11.15 am. It is free for PCYC members, $8 for concession participants and $10 for non-members. You might leave feeling a little more mobile, relaxed and connected than when you arrived.
St Kilda PCYC is more than a gym. It is a place where movement, wellbeing and community come together. Find out more at stkildapcyc.org.
