Program details

Strength training is really important for senior fitness as it can enhance your quality of life and improve your ability to do everyday activities.

Strength training can also protect your joints from injury and contributes to better balance and coordination.

This is important in helping you maintain independence as you age. It can also reduce the signs and symptoms of many chronic conditions, such as osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, back pain, obesity or weight loss, heart disease, depression, diabetes, and may reduce your risk of falls. 

Research suggests that regular strength training and aerobic exercise may help improve thinking and learning skills for older adults.

The functional strength classes are small to maximise the time and attention you receive on each piece of strength equipment. 

Class size is usually up to 3 persons. Classes will include the use of our new functional trainer machine, and total body resistance (TRX) exercises, bands and weights.
