As the weather cools and motivation can dip, Active Monash is encouraging locals to stay active and motivated with Camp Dawn - Winter Reset, a five‑week bootcamp program designed to rebuild healthy habits and momentum through the colder months.

Running from Monday 18 May to Monday 15 June, Camp Dawn offers 6am bootcamp sessions every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at Oakleigh Recreation Centre, providing participants with structure, accountability and renewed energy heading into winter.

This Winter Reset edition is ideal for anyone who may have struggled to stay active earlier in the year. The program focuses on building sustainable habits, boosting energy and creating fitness momentum that lasts well beyond the five weeks.

All sessions are fully scalable, allowing participants to ease back into exercise or push harder as confidence and fitness improve — ensuring people of all abilities feel supported, challenged and successful.

Each week delivers a varied and engaging training mix to keep workouts fresh and motivating, including cardio training, strength conditioning and a weekly box‑fit session. Sessions emphasise safe progression, consistency and personal achievement, while maintaining the high‑energy Camp Dawn atmosphere participants have come to expect.

Camp Dawn is about more than just fitness; the program places a strong emphasis on community and accountability, helping participants stay committed even on cold mornings.

This round also acts as a taster for the Dawn2Dusk membership launching in July, supporting participants to continue their fitness journey beyond the program.
