Revo Fitness has partnered with Perth-based social enterprise Buddiup to help empower young people with disability to live healthier and happier lives.

Buddiup launched in Western Australia in 2020 and now provides programs and services to over 100 male participants, focused on community, health, learning, and relationships. Buddiup’s sister program, Sisterup, officially launched Monday 29 January and focuses on the health and wellness of young women with disability in Perth.

Buddiup Founder and Managing Director Alastair Mackenzie said the concept was born out of eight years of experience facilitating an Integrated Football Program at Wembley Football Club.

“The risk of social isolation is significant, particularly after school years, and this was a great opportunity to help young men with disability develop healthy lifestyle choices and stay connected outside of just sport,” Mr Mackenzie said.

“Partnering with Revo Fitness in 2024 has been a game-changer. Our participants learn about exercise and gym etiquette through our programs. The Revo Fitness partnership is removing barriers for them to access their local gyms across the week when they are not at Buddiup, helping develop healthy daily active lives combined with increased social participation in their local communities, he said.

Revo Fitness has donated new equipment to Buddiup’s headquarters in West Perth and provides all mentors, coaches and participants with free access to gyms across the country.

Revo Fitness Founder and Managing Director Andrew Holder said that Buddiup was a great fit.

“We want to empower every person in the community to lead a healthier, more active lifestyle and this is a great step for us to support our mission and also assist the team at Buddiup,” Mr Holder said.

“Alastair and the team at Buddiup are creating a real impact everyday for so many and for us to donate equipment and start this relationship is something that we are very proud of and excited for” he said.
