Genesis Health + Fitness partners with febfast in 2021
febfast is gearing up to be massive this year, with Victorians using the annual charity event to make a fresh start in 2021. Whether giving up sugar, alcohol or anything in-between, it’s a great opportunity to set some new goals while also raising money for a good cause.
Genesis Health + Fitness, official partners for febfast 2021, have registered their own team while also helping participants to use February to begin on a better path, whatever that may be.
“Take small steps, set achievable goals and get yourself moving – the change you can make in just 28 days will surprise you. Let’s make febfast a life-changer this year,” said National Fitness Manager at Genesis Health + Fitness, Sam Merza.

Tips from National Fitness Manager at Genesis Health + Fitness, Sam Merza.
- Drink more water. So simple but so important as it assists you physically and mentally. Start with a glass of water first thing in the morning. Drink two or three glasses between meals and carry a water bottle with you throughout the day so you have easy access.
- Breath in some fresh air. Focusing on your breath in a conscious and purposeful way has the power to change your physical, mental and emotional state. A few minutes of deep-breathing a day makes a big difference.
- Get moving. A walk, a stretch or even a gentle swim are perfect activities, especially if you weren’t doing much physical activity prior to febfast.
- Phone a friend. If the challenge is a little overwhelming, it’s time to call in back-up. Phone a friend or family member for support and encourage them to join in with you.
- Write down three goals. Whatever it is you want to achieve, write down the top three and stick it on your fridge.
Stats
- A febfast survey of 500 Victorians conducted by YSAS revealed half gained weight in 2020 and more than one in three (39%) drank more alcohol than usual during a very trying year.
- Around 60% of survey takers said they’d gained weight and the vast majority desired to cut down on sugary foods in 2021.
- Women were far more likely to have turned to unhealthy eating and men were more likely to binge drink.
