Kieser Geelong Walking Group

The Kieser Geelong Walking Group in Newtown, Victoria, is a Heart Foundation-supported community walking program that meets weekly for gentle, slow-paced walks. The group welcomes people of all ages and fitness levels, including those with prams and dogs, making it a friendly and inclusive environment to improve health and social connection. Walks typically last 30 to 45 minutes and are held along scenic local routes such as near the Barwon River, encouraging cardiovascular health and wellbeing through regular, low-impact exercise. The group meets on Thursdays at 9:30 am or 9:45 am from the bottom of the ramp at 51 West Fyans Street, Newtown. Participation is free, and walkers are encouraged to continue socializing afterward, often with an optional coffee gathering. The program not only supports physical health but also fosters community engagement and reduces social isolation by connecting like-minded locals in a relaxed outdoor setting.Kieser Geelong, the host location, is primarily a physiotherapy and strength training center focusing on rehabilitation and improving functional strength, aligning with the walking group's goal of promoting active, healthy lifestyles.
