What is Mental Fitness?
Unlike mental health, which describes the condition we experience day to day, mental fitness is the proactive training that helps us optimise it.​​ The challenge is that, as a society, we’ve never trained our minds the way we train our bodies. We don’t have systems or processes to deliberately build these human skills, and mental health has often been approached from a reactive lens, waiting for crisis before taking action. Mental fitness changes that by making the training of our mind practical, proactive, and accessible for everyone.
​
Mental fitness is how well we can think, feel, and act so we can thrive, overcome challenges, adapt to change, and connect with others. Through regular and intentional training of core skills, we strengthen our mind, rewire our brain, and improve our mental health.

50km's everyday for 30 days
This November, our founder, Hunter, is running 50 kilometres every day for 30 days at the Bay Run in Rozelle, Sydney.
He is running to share his dream of a world that is mentally fit. A world where the conversation shifts from simply being aware of mental health problems to building the skills that support us every day. If you have a brain, you have mental health, which means you can build your mental fitness.
Hunter’s challenge is a commitment to this belief. Mental Fitness Month is the collective step toward making mental fitness the norm and creating a future where people have the skills to thrive.
