Senior Strength and Balance Classes - Flaxmere Centre

Senior Strength and Balance Classes at Flaxmere Centre

Senior Strength and Balance Classes are a great way for those in their senior years to build stability and avoid falls. These free sessions at Flaxmere Community Centre in Hastings, Hawke's Bay, offer choreographed routines that start simple and get a bit more challenging over time. They focus on strengthening core muscles and legs to help with everyday movements.

You'll find a friendly atmosphere where everyone progresses at their own pace, whether you have limited mobility like using a walking aid or reasonable mobility where you walk on your own. The classes suit anyone aged 65 and over, or 55 and over for Māori and Pasifika, plus those at higher risk of falls who can join safely. It's all about gaining confidence and staying independent through better balance and strength.
