The founders of HIIT Station Morayfield, Gretel and Chris Vitnell, are passionate about promoting both physical fitness and mental well-being.

Research has shown that regular physical activity can have a profound positive impact on mental well-being. With mental health issues being more openly discussed and addressed in Australia, people struggling with anxiety and depression talk about experiencing significant improvements in their mental health when exercise becomes a part of their routine.

To shed light on this important connection, “Move for Mental Health” will feature guest speakers who will share their insights on the benefits of exercise for mental health, particularly focusing on boys and men. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn from these experts and gain a better understanding of how physical activity can contribute to wellness.

The event will kick off with inspiring talks by Gretel and Chris, providing attendees with valuable knowledge about the relationship between exercise, mental health, and overall well-being. Their shared experiences and expertise, personal training, nutrition, breathwork, and trauma-informed coaching will surely ignite a passion for personal growth among participants.

Designed to invigorate the body and uplift the spirits, this strength training session will allow participants to experience the transformative power of physical activity on their mental state firsthand.

To conclude the event on a delightful note, a BBQ breakfast and coffee will be provided, offering attendees an opportunity to socialise and connect with like-minded individuals in the Morayfield community.



The “Move for Mental Health” event promises to be an extraordinary experience for personal growth, empowerment, and connection.
