SAYGO Fall Prevention Classes for Seniors in Whanganui

In a typical SAYGO session, you'll join a small group of older adults for gentle exercises led by peers, focusing on simple movements that build your strength and balance right from the start. These weekly classes happen in Durie Hill and other spots around Whanganui, Marton, and nearby towns, making it easy to find one close by. The group setting feels supportive and social, with everyone encouraging each other as they work through the activities.

The exercises target fall prevention, helping older adults improve coordination and muscle strength while boosting confidence in daily movements. They're designed for seniors with varying mobility, whether you use a walking aid or move on your own. Regular sessions also foster connections with others in the community, supporting greater independence at home and beyond.
