Benefits of Strength and Balance Training for Older Adults

Regular strength and balance exercises are essential for maintaining independence and quality of life as we age. Our Morningside class is designed specifically with older Kiwis in mind, providing a supportive environment to improve your physical capabilities.

Why join our Strength & Balance class?

• Reduces risk of falls and related injuries
• Improves posture and stability in everyday activities
• Increases muscle strength to maintain independence
• Enhances bone density to fight osteoporosis
• Boosts confidence in movement and daily tasks
• Provides social connection with like-minded people

This class accommodates both those with limited mobility (Level 1) who may use walking aids or feel uncertain about physical activity, and those with reasonable mobility (Level 2) who can move around without assistance but benefit from structured exercise.

Each session focuses on functional movements that translate to real-life activities—getting up from chairs, reaching for items, and maintaining balance while moving. Our experienced instructor Mandi creates a friendly, non-competitive atmosphere where everyone works at their own pace.

No special equipment or prior experience is needed—just wear comfortable clothing and supportive footwear. You'll leave each session feeling more stable, stronger, and energized for your day-to-day activities.

Join our community of active seniors in Whangārei who are taking positive steps to maintain their independence and wellbeing through regular, enjoyable exercise.
