We're ready to put in the reps for The Push Up Challenge!

We are getting ready to rep for the 2026 Push-Up Challenge and we challenge you to join us!

Running from June 3-26, the headspace Bendigo team ‘Stronger Together’ is aiming to complete 3,307 push-ups to honour the 3,307 lives lost to suicide in Australia in 2024.

It’s free, it’s fun and here are some fast facts:

• It’s raising funds for those in our community who sometimes find the weight of their mental health too much.
• headspace Bendigo is proud to be one of three official beneficiaries of the challenge. In recent years we’ve put any funds raised towards our Fitness and Nutrition Coaching program.
• You can replace push-ups with sit-ups, squats and other alternatives to suit your fitness level!

This year marks the 10th year the Push-Up Challenge has run in Australia and in that time more than $60 million has been raised for mental health charities, plus more than 1 billion push-ups have been smashed out.
