During these holistic fitness classes for seniors at Lynfield Recreation Centre, we’ll discuss your goals, medical conditions and physical capabilities to ensure you get a programme that’s right for you. Classes consist of a group warm up, your own personalised exercise programme, and a group cool down. Making your golden years gold. Gold Fit.
Social Engagement
An integral part of the programme is social engagement which is built into the fabric of the programme through morning tea's but also includes group outing which could be anything from high tea, to dinner or a BBQ at someone's house.
New Activities
The programme incorporates the opportunity for seniors to relive childhood memories or try new activities they've always wanted to. In the past our programmes have involved bike riding lessons, drumming lessons, kayaking trips to Rangitoto and camping.
Dedicated Co-Ordinator
To support the programme The Y assigns a dedicated co-ordinator. This ensures not only consistency but the opportunity for our staff to build strong relationships with participants making it easier to understand your unique needs.
