A progressive strength and balance program designed to improve your strength, balance and mobility.
It doesn’t matter if you have never done an exercise class before, or if you are relatively unfit. Each person will be individually assessed for their physical level and a tailored exercise program will be created for each attendee. The classes are designed for people of all levels of ability. Through regular attendance, you will gradually increase the level of work you do to develop your strength.
Strength training benefits include:
increasing muscles mass and strength
improving coordination and confidence in the way you move, reducing your risk of falls
improving insulin sensitivity and joint health
reducing anxiety and depression
increasing brain function and learning.
The program also provides an opportunity for socialising and meeting new people.
The program is also available at St Helen's Community Centre, Reginald Murphy Community Centre and Cliff Noble Community Centre on Thursdays.
It's run by SHARE working the Council on the Ageing NSW and is supported by City of Sydney.
We aim to deliver inclusive and accessible events. If you have any particular access or communication needs please contact Amber Figura, Community Services Worker on 9265 9179.
The St Helens Community Centre is open Monday to Friday 9:30am to 3:30pm. Pop in for a tea or coffee and a chat.
