FUN WAYS TO SUPPORT MOVEMBER AND RAISE AWARENESS FOR MEN’S HEALTH
November, November – it's the month for Movember! Movember isn’t just about growing moustaches, it’s about making a real difference. Just like Pink October that began at a grassroots level, Movember began as a small initiative between 2 Australian friends to convince 30 men to grow moustaches to spark conversations about men’s health.
This quickly turned into a global movement and today has raised over $1 billion in support of men’s health causes. Today, Movember is recognized in more than 20 countries and focuses on improving early detection, treatment, and support for men affected by mental health struggles, and prostate and testicular cancer.
Here are some fun ways to support Movember and raise awareness for men’s health with us at Celebrity Fitness.
Did you know? Movember isn’t just for men! Women can also get involved and show support for this great cause through fundraising or participating in The Move for Mental Health.
Grow A Mo’
Start the month clean-shaven and let your moustache shine. Hit the gym and flaunt your new look while raising awareness for men's health. If you’re wondering what growing a moustache has to do with the cause, it’s this: the moustache is an icebreaker of sorts that conveys your support for men’s health. It’s a conversation starter with your family and friends.

Move for Mo’
Movember isn’t just about growing facial hair. Don’t want to grow a moustache? No problem! Instead, get involved and active by pledging to run or walk 60km in support of men’s health with The Move for Mental Health. You can do this by signing up for a Movember profile, before heading to any of our Celebrity Fitness clubs. Hop on a treadmill or on a bike and start racking up those kilometers while making a real difference. The 60km Challenge is symbolic, representing the 60 men we lose to suicide every hour worldwide. By moving for Movember, you can contribute to both physical fitness and awareness.
Fundraise for Mo’
Set up your Movember profile and share it with your gym buddies to help with fundraising for Movember Foundation. You can even spice it up by creating friendly competitions to see who can raise the most money for men's health causes. Every little bit counts!

Why It Matters
Movember serves as an easy way to spark conversations about serious issues that often go unnoticed. Testicular cancer, prostate cancer, and mental health struggles are preventable with early intervention, but many men don’t seek help in time. Celebrity Fitness is here to support not only your fitness journey but your mission to make a difference. Whether you're running for a cause, growing a moustache, or spreading the word, you're helping create a healthier future for men everywhere.
