What does the program involve?

INSPIRED LIVING provides supervised strength training activities, using a combination of free weights and weight machines, with all exercises being functional to every day activities.
Before taking part in the program, each participant is assessed and a program is tailored to their specific needs. Participants then take part in regular group training sessions, making it a great opportunity to socialise while getting fit.

Who can participate?

INSPIRED LIVING caters specifically for all people over the age of 60, regardless of their current physical health or fitness level.

How much does it cost?

INSPIRED LIVING group training sessions are provided at a rate of $6.50 per session, which is payable weekly or may be purchased as a ten pack. A once-off assessment fee of $55 will also apply.

What about Quality Control?

Qualified instructors supervise INSPIRED LIVING group sessions  to guide participants in correct techniques and monitor safety, in addition to providing encouragement and support.

Each participant follows an individually designed progressive strength training program with regular increases in resistance in a fun and friendly atmosphere. Each person is re-assessed on a 6 weekly basis to determine the gains that they have achieved.
