SAYGO Fall Prevention Classes in Whanganui

Steady As You Go, or SAYGO, is a fall prevention programme geared towards older adults aged 65 and over in the Whanganui region. These weekly classes help you build balance, strength, and confidence to stay steady on your feet. You'll find a friendly, peer-led atmosphere that makes it easy to join in and connect with others from your community.

The classes run in places like Whanganui, Marton, Huntersville, Ohakune, Raetihi, and Bulls, with sessions held in the Gonville area. They suit seniors from those with limited mobility, like if you use a walking aid or feel unsteady, right through to folks who are reasonably fit and active. Exercises focus on improving leg and core strength, coordination, and reflexes for everyday activities. It's all about keeping your independence as you age.
