Stay active and healthy as you get older
Our Exercise Physiologists support older adults to get or stay active. Whether you want to improve your strength or fitness, manage a health condition, or feel healthier, we can create a program to suit your needs and abilities.

In our one-to-one and group sessions, we focus on helping you move safely and effectively to achieve your health and well-being goals. We design programs for people who are frail, use a wheelchair, just getting started with exercise or seasoned exercisers looking for something new.
We can help you with:
- personalised health and exercise assessments to develop exercise programs tailored for you.
- strength, balance, and fitness training
- safe ways to exercise at home or in a leisure centre/gym
- health and disease management education
- managing chronic conditions through physical activity.
