For some time now, exercise has been shown to be an effective treatment option for depression and anxiety (in the majority of cases), yet sadly it is still under-prescribed and there is a lack of targeted, affordable services available. Mood Active's aim is to change all that!

We were established in 2013 as a non profit association and to date we have provided group exercise programs for people diagnosed with mild to moderate depression and/or anxiety in the Sydney area. Our program is evidence based, where participants are referred to us by psychologists, GPs and community service providers and are required to exercise 3 times weekly for 8 weeks. Classes are run in supportive, small group settings where participants choose from either cardio tennis, yoga or circuit classes. We also do pre and post mood and fitness assessments so participants can track their progress.

We currently operate out of Kingsford and Surry Hills and while we have a long term aim of expanding throughout Australia, more immediately, we are wanting to expand the program across Sydney and build awareness of our offering.

We have established a social support group for exercise and mental health to provide options for those who cannot commit to our 8 program yet are still needing support to transition to regular exercise.

In addition, we have recently launched a 4 Week Wellbeing Workout program where participants learn the skills to motivate themselves to exercise, followed immediately by an exercise class. Class types vary depending on the program.
