The No Falls Program is an exercise program that is designed for people aged 65 and up who are at risk of or have had a fall. The program will consist of a 10-week block with participants being split into smaller groups (6-8 people) on a tiered system to attempt to match participants that have similar ability levels.
Our programs are tailored to cater to all ability levels. Our tiered system ensures that you are challenged during class and can see improvements across the 10 week program.
The No Falls Program will:
Participants will be assessed by our instructors at the beginning and end of the program to check their ability level and what the next step is in their progression e.g. moving on to other programs (Strength for Life) or progressing into the next tier of the No Falls Program.
Participants will be given easy to follow hand-outs which involve basic strength and balance exercises that they will be encouraged to perform at home. They will also be provided with a weekly, “work-sheet”, to tick and indicate what exercises they have carried out. The objective is to mentor and encourage the acceptance of doing these exercises if they want to prevent a fall.
