Women’s Workout is a group fitness program designed exclusively for women < Back Cultural Exercise Empowerment Asli Abdullahi 24 Aug 2022 Women’s Workout is a group fitness program designed exclusively for women Women’s Workout is a group fitness program designed exclusively for women. Facilitated by our female instructors, our Women’s Workout program encourages women of all ages and fitness levels to keep active and meet new, likeminded women in a safe and inclusive environment. Iskufilan is a monthly support forum for women and mothers from multicultural communities that is held monthly in Footscray. This month, The Huddle combined these two successful programs to create a very special Iskufilan Women’s Workout. The focus of this group was on teaching Somali women the importance of physical activity and all its accompanying mental health benefits. It was an environment where they can be themselves, and they can work out in a culturally sensitive environment where there were no men present – an incredibly important cultural difference to mainstream gym and workout environments and regimes. The challenge that was outlined and addressed with this session was a lack of exercise among Somali mothers. An obstacle that most of these women expressed that they faced was insufficient spaces for modest women to work out that is catered to only women. The Huddle was able to overcome this obstacle and aid these women in learning basic exercise skills that they can continue going forward with in their own homes. As well as this, the session provided a safe space for the women to socialise, be themselves, and gain an authentic support network with different women from the community. The support the women received with the exercise was as important as the delivery method - one that is as easily digestible and empowering as it is suited to their needs. The Iskufilan Women’s Workout provided a space for women to put themselves first, spend time working on themselves and improving their key health indicators, as well as socialise and forget about their home-life responsibilities for a short while. I really enjoy the program and seeing the people. - Fatima Ali Gass This special group of Somali women are now taking initiative with their self-care, overall health, and wellbeing which was initially a large oversight in the community. Many women from the sessions experienced noticeable improvements and are maintaining the importance of exercise for their health and wellbeing. Previous Next

An exciting day of sports and learning! < Back The Grange P-12 students visit The Huddle: A day of sports and learning Joshua Raymer 7 Aug 2024 An exciting day of sports and learning! On August 5 and 6, a lucky group of sports science students from Years 4, 5, and 6 at The Grange P-12 visited The Huddle for an exciting experience. The students took part in The Huddle's Game Day and True North programs, where they enjoyed a day full of sport-themed STEM and personal development activities. One special highlight of the visits was when students were able to meet North Melbourne AFLW players during their club photo shoot, which made the day even more memorable. "My favourite part about today was when we got to work with new people and celebrate success." - Student, The Grange This visit was particularly meaningful, as the students travelled a long way from Hoppers Crossing to North Melbourne. The visit illustrated the strong relationship between The Huddle and The Grange, as The Grange has already been involved in events like the North Melbourne Community Camp and completed several True North modules in previous years. Thanks to the resounding success of this visit, The Grange will continue to participate in addition Huddle programs such as GOAL! and NBA Math Hoops . "It's been awesome to see the kids working together in teams and just working on different skills in a different environment outside the classroom which has been really nice." - Teacher, The Grange The visit not only showcased the power of sport in bringing people together, but it also highlighted the commitment of both The Huddle and The Grange in fostering positive, impactful experiences for young students to help them learn, grow, and belong.

Mohamed turned his love for sport and passion for helping other into a career. < Back Proving Success Has No Single Path Zakaria Farah 6 Oct 2025 Mohamed turned his love for sport and passion for helping other into a career. Mohamed Habib - Managing Director | Physiotherapist Mohamed’s story is what How We Move is all about. Growing up in the same neighbourhoods many young people know well, he turned his love of sport and passion for helping others into a career that’s changing lives. Today, Mohamed is the Managing Director of A Plus Physiotherapy , a clinic he founded to help people recover, move freely, and get back to doing what they love. But Mohamed is more than just a business owner and physiotherapist. He’s still that community kid you’ll find playing soccer at the park, spending time with family and friends, and showing up for those around him. His journey proves that success doesn’t follow one script — it’s about finding your own way and giving back as you go. This is why we created How We Move — to share real stories of young people carving their own paths, showing that success looks different for everyone. No scripted journeys, just honest voices proving there’s more than one way to move forward. How We Move is a series that captures the different ways voices from our communities navigate life, pursue their dreams and make an impact. “Move” is about more than motion. It is moving through challenges, moving towards opportunities and moving forward in our own way. This series shares the real stories of voices who turned challenges into opportunities and dreams into reality. Each journey reminds us there is no single definition of success. What matters is how we move towards it and the possibilities we open up along the way. Previous Next
