ACTIVE SENIORS

All year round, Heath Mates is here to get our seniors active and staying healthy, weather it is doing classes or working out in the gym using a program personally created for your needs.

Strong & Stable Classes

These classes combine education and exercise in a progressive approach to improve balance, flexibility, coordination, strength and reduce the risk of falling. Aids such as chairs and bars may be incorporated. The class is suitable for those wanting to maintain independence and enhance their well-being

Active Over 50’s Classes

If you’re over 50 and enjoy the company of other like-minded exercisers, give this class a go. It’s light paced and focuses on your needs; gentle cardiovascular, bone and muscle strengthening exercises combined with elements of balance and Core activation, not to forget a whole heap of fun!

Other classes our older adults also enjoy are:

Lite & Lo – the ideal class for those wanting a mild paced workout. It’s slightly more intense than our Active Over 50’s class.

Tone Up – target your full body with this muscle toning class incorporating dumbbells, bands and body weight exercises. It’s easy to follow and guaranteed to work your abs, butts and thighs.

Stretch – this relaxing class begins with a gentle warm up followed by a series of stretches designed to improve your flexibility, minimise muscle imbalances and release stored muscle tension 

Pilates – A mellow paced body conditioning class that combines breathing, stretching and strengthening to achieve and maintain optimal posture. Allow your body to move freely and efficiently by strengthening your deep abdominal and core stabilisers while relaxing tense neck and shoulder muscles.
