The benefits of low impact exercises for seniors
Our specialised movement classes incorporate the ideal low-impact cardio exercises needed for seniors to stay fit and healthy, all from the comfort of your home.
We offer two different levels of classes – one suitable for beginners and one for intermediate to advanced exercisers. Both are specifically designed with the aim of improving your balance, as well as fitness, movement, strength and general wellbeing.
Facilitated by highly skilled trainers who expertly guide you through, these classes offer important physical, mental and social benefits.
- Low-impact cardio and aerobic exercise ideal for seniors.

What's included?
Join one of our movement classes online from home, using a computer or tablet. They are perfect for people in regional, rural or remote areas who may not have access to a Wellness Centre or local gym, or may be looking for convenient exercise in the comfort of home!
Movement classes run for 30 minutes and are all designed specifically with the use of a chair for support. Classes are run by highly skilled instructors in small group settings which offer social connection while you keep fit and active. You have the choice of two classes:
- Move at Ease is designed for beginners to re-engage with exercise and increase their mobility, flexibility and strength.
- Move at Pace is for intermediate to advanced participants who are ready to increase the cardio aspect of their workout and incorporate more advanced, low-impact exercises, and sustain them for slightly longer periods.
