Gentle Exercise for Stability and Strength in Methven

If you're new to exercise or feeling unsure about your balance, the SAYGo class at All Saints Church in Methven is a reassuring place to start. This gentle session helps older New Zealanders build confidence while working on stability and strength. It suits those with limited to reasonable mobility, like if you use a walking aid or walk on your own with average balance.

You'll enjoy benefits such as better balance to lower fall risks, stronger muscles and joints, and a chance to connect with others in a supportive setting. The class draws from the proven Otago Exercise Programme, which research shows can cut fall risks by up to 30%. Regular participation often leads to real gains in everyday stability and strength, all at your own pace.
