Program details

Experience a holistic approach to aging well with Chairfit4Life, featuring "The Vitality Method".

This music-based movement class is specifically designed for older adults who prefer or require the support of a chair while maintaining a high level of physical engagement.

Class Structure (45 Minutes):

• Warm-up (10 mins): Gentle movements to prepare the body for exercise.
• Core Session: A focus on mobility, flexibility, and resistance band strength to support bone density and stabilisation.
• Cool-down (5 mins): Gradual relaxation and light stretching.
• Senior Meditation (5 mins): Dedicated time for mental clarity and mindfulness to close the session.

Our routines include "brain work" for cognitive health and are developed in accordance with national physiotherapy guidelines to ensure every movement is safe and purposeful.

Opening hours:

• Fridays, 11:00am - 11:45am

Cost:

$15 per class.
