Move for Life - Older adults

Move for Life class participants pose as a group

We're committed to offering programs and services at our facilities to support older adults to stay healthy and well.

Move for Life

Our Move for Life program is a supportive and fun gym experience designed for people over the age of 55. During each class our qualified trainers will support you through an independent gym session focused on building your strength, balance, mobility and fitness.

How do I join?

1. Complete your medical form

Before you join the program, please ask your doctor to complete our medical form confirming you are able to participate. You will need to give your completed medical form to the instructor at your gym appointment.

2. Book your assessment

Book a gym appointment with one of our Gym Instructors online or visit us at reception. The assessment costs $51.90 and will allow our gym instructors to create a tailored program especially for you.

I'm a current participant, how do I get a new program?

We recommend you get a new program every 8-12 weeks. Please book a gym appointment online or at reception. Each appointment costs $51.90 and remember to bring an updated medical clearance from your doctor so the instructor can safely tailor the program to your individual needs. 

Please note, new programs and assessments can't be scheduled during Move for Life sessions as we need to supervise and support everyone in the session.
