Functional Fitness for 50+

The Strength for Life program is unique in that you get all the benefits of a tailored exercise plan with the fun of a group fitness class. As a part of your assessment our instructor will talk to you about your goals and create you an individual, personalised exercise program specific to your needs.

A typical class starts with a fun and energising group warm up. Next you spend 30 to 40 minutes on your individual program with the instructor touching base with all clients to give corrects, extensions, feedback and support. We finish all together with a cool down and a series of stretches, leaving you feeling clam and relaxed as you head into your day!

We recommend that attending Strength for Life two to three times per week for optimal benefit.

Strength for Life makes the gym about more than just fitness!

There are so many benefits to joining our Strength for Life program. It will not only benefit you physically but also help improve additional areas of your life.

The Strength for Life program will:

  • Help you maintain your independence

Strength training is crucial for healthy aging. It can help combat some age-related disease, improve physical ability/function and cognitive health, enabling you to be able to do what you love for longer!

The aim of our Strength for Life Program is to keep independent and active for as long as possible! Through specialised exercise programs that cater to you individual needs, our instructors will help you improve your strength, balance and confidence!

Our Strength for Life program extends well beyond the physical benefits of the gym. Our Strength for Life cohort is all about community. Participants are encouraged to stay after class for a free tea or coffee and a chat, encouraging socialization and connections to be formed within the community.
