Mental WELLNESS is made up of healthy choices.

Physical activity:
• releases endorphins which improve mood and reduce stress.
• increase energy levels, leading to better overall well-being.
• promotes better sleep, which is crucial for mental health.
• reduces symptoms of anxiety and depression.
• boosts self esteem and confidence.
• provides social interaction opportunities, reducing feelings of isolation.

Consider your mental wellness by joining a gym like to help ensure long term mental health 💚
