Our Community Wellness Programs: Empowering Rural Fitness
At Genki Fit, we believe in making fitness and wellness accessible to everyone, especially those in rural communities, through innovative community wellness programs. As a social enterprise, we are dedicated to giving back to the community through a variety of initiatives aimed at promoting health, well-being, and connection.
​
Our initiatives include free fitness workshops, local event sponsorships, and specialised programs for all ages. By focusing on accessibility and inclusivity, we ensure everyone can participate and benefit. Join us in promoting health, connection, and well-being in rural communities through impactful programs designed to make a difference.

Free/Subsidised Fitness Workshops and Classes
Genki Fit provides free and subsidised fitness programs because cost should never be the barrier that
stops someone from improving their physical or mental health. In many rural communities, access to
affordable exercise is limited; yet movement, routine, and connection are some of the most powerful
tools we have for building resilience, confidence, and wellbeing.
Community Events & In-Kind
From 2022–2025, Genki Fit offered 9 free Circus Skills sessions at the Smythesdale Country Market and Ballarat Market.
These sessions created safe, low-pressure
opportunities for children and families to move their bodies, try new skills, and connect with others. For many kids in rural areas, structured physical activity can be limited, and these workshops offered a playful, accessible way to get active while building confidence, coordination, and social interaction.
They also brought people together in shared
community spaces, helping strengthen local
connection and belonging.
Sponsorship & Donations
As part of our commitment to supporting rural communities, Genki Fit sponsors local events like the art table at Smythesdale Country Market. Genki Fit was the major sponsor of the 2025 Smythesdale Youth Market.
Continuing Impact
Genki Fit puts all profits back into its programs.
​​Based on conservative financial estimates, Genki Fit generates approximately $3.80 in social value for every $1 spent on running the business.
This includes free and subsidised programs, discounted class pricing compared with typical Ballarat fitness providers, sponsorships, and in-kind contributions.
When we also factor in estimated health-system savings from keeping adults physically active, our impact could be as high as $4.80 in social value for every $1 invested.
