2024 marks 10 years of Sons of the West.

10 years of spreading healthy habits. 10 years of empowering men to exercise. 10 years of building mateship and comradery across the west of Melbourne & Victoria.

“I have been able to open up more with male friends and demonstrate that opening up isn't weak,” explained one of our participants from last year.

"I have been able to reach out to my support networks for support and also to show that I am there to help them as well.”

By prioritising education on a wide range of health topics and tailoring exercise programs to participants’ needs - all in a welcoming and easy-going setting - Sons of the West has been transforming lives for the better for over a decade, and in 2024 it returns bigger and better than ever!

Cooking classes were a fan-favourite session in previous years of the program, and we've heard the calls to bring it back! By participating in Sons of the West, you can also expect to boost your:

  • Physical Health: Through fitness sessions tailored to your capabilities, health checks, and wellness workshops.
  • Mental Wellbeing: Addressing mental health through conversations, awareness, and supportive networks.
  • Community Engagement: Building a sense of belonging and community through group activities and exploring what other opportunities there are for involvement in your local community.

Sons of the West is open to all men over the age of 18.
