Seniors Health & Fitness Program

Learn to stay active, strong and connected with our fitness short courses in Sydney!

Staying active is one of the best investments you can make in your health, independence, and wellbeing. Designed especially for adults aged 50 and over, our Seniors Health & Fitness Program offers a fun, supportive, and welcoming way to improve your fitness while enjoying the company of others.

Led by an experienced instructor, each session combines gentle cardiovascular exercise, strength training, balance work, and stretching to help you move with greater confidence in everyday life. Exercises can be adapted to suit a range of fitness levels, allowing everyone to participate comfortably and progress at their own pace.

More than just an exercise class, this long-running program has become a valued social community where many participants return term after term to stay active, build confidence, and enjoy meaningful friendships. Whether you're returning to exercise, looking to maintain your mobility, or simply wanting a positive reason to get out each week, you'll be warmly welcomed. Classes are available both indoors at our Rozelle campus and at Camperdown Tennis Centre, where participants enjoy exercising in the fresh air with the reassurance of a large undercover area when needed.
