Our Classes

Each program is supervised by our experienced Physiotherapists or Exercise Physiologists, ensuring exercises are safe, effective, and tailored to your individual health needs.

✅ GLA:D® Arthritis Program

An internationally recognised exercise and education program designed for people living with hip or knee osteoarthritis. GLA:D® combines targeted strength and neuromuscular exercises with educational sessions that empower you to understand your condition, manage symptoms, and stay active. The program is proven to reduce pain, improve joint stability, and enhance your ability to participate in daily activities.

✅ Falls Prevention & Balance Training

Ideal for older adults or anyone at risk of falls, this program focuses on improving balance, strength, coordination, and confidence. Through structured exercises, participants work on proprioception (awareness of body position), reaction time, and stability. The goal is to reduce falls risk, support safe movement, and promote independence in everyday life.

✅ General Exercise Classes

A supervised group exercise class that caters to a wide range of fitness levels and health needs. These sessions aim to build strength, improve flexibility, enhance cardiovascular fitness, and support joint mobility. Exercises are adapted to suit individual abilities, making this a great option for those managing chronic conditions or seeking to maintain or improve general wellbeing.

✅ Type 2 Diabetes Exercise Classes

This specialised program supports people living with Type 2 Diabetes to better manage their health through structured, safe exercise. The classes focus on improving insulin sensitivity, blood glucose control, cardiovascular health, and weight management. Participants are guided through tailored exercise routines proven to reduce diabetes-related complications while improving overall fitness.

✅ Hydrotherapy

Hydrotherapy involves performing therapeutic exercises in a warm-water pool, creating a low-impact, supportive environment ideal for people with joint pain, arthritis, or mobility limitations. The buoyancy of water reduces load on joints while allowing greater freedom of movement. Sessions focus on improving range of motion, strength, balance, and pain relief, all under professional supervision.
