About The Age Well Approach.

  • 1. Improving our clients health, mobility and pain free living.

    Our team is made up of very skilled health professionals with decades of experience working with clientele wanting to age well. This includes exercise physiologists, massage therapists and education professionals.

    We build our approach using the evolving research in the field, the key principles of exercise and human function, and an in-depth understanding of human anatomy.

    The goal for our Age Well group sessions is for our cl ents to feel great, after clAss and in their daily lives. As such, we take time to develop exercise protocols that target the key areas of health and function.

    Our sessions include:

    • Low impact cardiovascular exercise.

    • Core & Stability work.

    • Strength and Mobility exercise.

    • Agility and Cognitive Function work.

  • 2. Filling the gap between treatment/rehabilitation and physical deterioration.

    We are here to help our clients transition from their rehabilitation plan to full function, and keep them there!

    We specialise in heath maintenance. Meaning, our exercise classes are designed to cover all the components of good human function to keep our clients fit, healthy, mobile and pain free for as long a possible.

    Our goal is to work with our clients post allied health intervention and provide an enjoyable group exercise space for them to stay fit and healthy. Giving them peace of mind that they are doing everything they can to stay functional and fit.

  • 3. Reducing loneliness & other mental health issues through social connection.

    The evidence of the benefits of regular exercise and the positive effect on mental health and wellbeing is overwhelming.

    Our sessions have another focus, however, that being peer connection. We believe in buildings communities that our members can fell excited and happy to be a part of.

    In recent years the body of research on loneliness and its negative effects on both physical and mental health has come to light.

    Loneliness is often a silent battle and affects many of us, especially as we get older and our peer connection seems to get smaller.

    Our Age Well group sessions provide a space for social connection. They are a non judgmental space where people can not only exercise, but also build lasting friendships and meaningful bonds.
