How Do I Get Started?
Have your GP or GP nurse, complete the medical clearance form. A form can be mailed, emailed on downloaded.
What to Expect?
First you begin with a programme induction where we will discuss your goals and go through your medical conditions and physical capabilities. You will also complete our Functional Fitness Assessment, which measures balance, strength, endurance and flexibility. After that, we will create an exercise program that is appropriate just for you.
Social Engagement
An integral part of the programme is social engagement which is built into the fabric of the programme and includes outings, seminars, workshops, sporting and exercise activities. More importantly the programme provides a wonderful support network. We have an active social committee that facilitates the needs and events for our members and wider community.
