Welcome to PROST!
PROST! is a professional evidence-based group exercise support program providing gym sessions and social gatherings, enabling you to connect with other men in your area who are also dealing with prostate cancer.
Lead by qualified exercise physiologists at gyms and football clubs across Perth, the not for profit registered charity is run by volunteers to support men with prostate cancer.
We are a support group of the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia Inc.

The fight against prostate cancer is easier if it is a path you don't walk alone.
“My favorite days are Mondays and Thursdays, my PROST! Exercise Group Fremantle days, with my prostate gym buddies. After our gym session we all go for coffee, engaging in great conversation, strengthening our friendships and offering support to members requiring it.”
Bill, member since 2015
PROST! has been a game changer for me since I started my supervised exercise program in group sessions on 1 April 2021, 5 weeks prior to my surgery. It set me up for a quick recovery after the op.
I still look forward to my twice weekly pelvic floor and varied gym workouts, after a friendly, but competitive game of either social soccer or Frisbee throwing on the oval (the muscle component)!
John - member since 2021
PROST! has been an enormous help to me in overcoming the normal side effects of prostate surgery, and the mental torment and frustration of being a normal healthy person all your life, and now being a healthy person with the side effects of a prostatectomy.
I have never been a gym person and didn’t think I would cope, but the fellowship, comradery, inspiration, and support at PROST! has made me a firm believer in Muscle, Mateship & Mood.
Jeff, member since 2022
The tailored exercise program the Exercise Physiologists compile have helped me physically recover, and the camaraderie and fellowship at each session (and the subsequent coffee catch up!) ensures I leave each session tired, but in a great spirits.
I highly commend PROST as an integral part of any man’s prostate cancer recovery. Muscle, Mateship, Mood!
