Introduction
This report gives an overview of the qualitative analysis of 17 participants who joined the UniFit program within the framework of a well-being study. The pilot study was conducted to examine the delivery of standard psychoeducation workshops through Campus Wellbeing in a gym setting for Macquarie University students in collaboration with Macquarie University Sport. The program involved 30 minutes of exercise and a 30 minute topic covered every week for 10 weeks.
The feedback has been analysed based on the questionnaires the participants completed during weeks 1, 5, 10 and a 3 month follow up of the program and the overall report is based on those qualitative results. The aim of the qualitative analysis of the findings is to illustrate and complement the results of the statistical data. They are aimed to:

They were asked to reflect on their current health, fitness, dietary and stress levels during different phases of the program in weeks 1, 5 and 10 with questions about physical activeness, nutrition, sleep and sense of belonging at Macquarie University.
Research design
The qualitative component of the well-being program is to be understood in the context of an overall progressive research design consisting of a small-scale survey (repeated 3 times throughout the program) to be completed by each of the students for the UniFit program, and a subsequent survey after 3 months of
